There isn’t really much to the story, it is just about your typical teenage boy (Hajime Saisho) who’s a member of the school swim team. Well a new transfer student (Asa Mizushima) catches Hajime’s attention and he pursues her affection until she eventually falls in love with him. But that’s not all, as there’s another girl (Natsume Sorayama) who likes him. Sure with that you usually expect the girls to fight over him, in a heated love triangle, but instead they decide to share him. Now I thought it was pretty senseless, the way the two of them came to the decision to share him, but it’s a hentai so it can be forgiven. So why is it so good? Well the answer to that question falls within the characters and animation.
Hajime is a pretty cool protagonist, seeing how he’s not a creep or a loser and I also realized that his name sounds rather interesting “Beginning” and “End” (not sure if the kanji meaning is different). Nevertheless it’s the girls who truly shine in this hentai and it is interesting seeing the differences they have and I’m not just talking about their different sizes. Though the characters do lack some development, especially Natsume, because we never know the reason why she liked him in the first place.
When it comes to the animation, it’s no surprise that I declare it as the strongest aspect, because not only do the characters look great but so do the summer themed environments. Not to forget that a lot of detail is put into the non-recycled sex scenes, which seem to dominate the series. Shame I can’t say the same positive things about the sounds and sure the seiyuus did do a great job on the main characters, the music is fairly unnoticeable until in gets to the insert songs.
Overall Sora no Iro, Mizu no Iro is certainly one hot hentai anime, a bit too hot for words in fact. There are a lot of similar school-based hentai out there but this stands out as one of the better ones. I just wished it was longer, to allow further development with the characters.
