TSF Monogatari

Wow, this is the first time in quite a while a hentai anime has left such an impression on me. I really loved the animation, it was very well done. The plot was pretty typical for a hentai, not anything spectacular and kind of stupid. But I'm giving the story a 9 for the 'character development' (sounds so weird to say that for a hentai) of Takumi. I honestly loved it and became found of her. Plus, I loved her VA. Wish their were more VAs in hentai that sounded like her unlike others where they are so high pitched and pretty much sound all ... alike.

There were a few aspects I didn't like, the really old men and somewhat ugly for one (not my cup of tea) that and what happened with Sogahara. However, the ending was incredibly sweet it's something you don't see in hentai nowadays. Would of loved to see more of this though and not just two OVAs (maybe a sequel?).

Anyway, great hentai. I'm not into the whole transformation fetish but this was interesting and I plan on reading the manga because of this.

Not long ago I was reading a book about sex and relationship written by a well-known Russian psychologist. There I came across one interesting thought. I'm not going to quote it literally, all the same, the sense is the following, "All mass media try to show you that happiness is reachable and nearby, at a hand's reach. You just have to follow their advice. However, everything they really do is showing how unhappy and imperfect you are, as one tends to compare what he has and what mass media show. And then it becomes clear that the image mass media create is not possible in ... real life, which make one develop complexes". Porn and hentai isn't mass media, however, they still tend to create a desirable image of relationships and the image of a human in society. It is OK if one watches adult products to satisfy his or her current physical needs. However, if one believes what he or she is shown and appreciates this model, he or she will inevitably have problems when it comes to real communication.
TSF Monogatari is, IMHO, another example of this propaganda. If you remember how the main character, Takumi, began and how he ended, you'll understand what I mean.

=Story - 5=
If to look at the introduction of the plot, it is interesting and quite intriguing. A boy turns into a girl - what is he going to do? If to look at the overall story, it turns out to be awful. And here I mean the flow of the story, its moral value, the ending and some separate scenes. It began well but lost its pace and went downhill in the 2nd episode and ended up in the waste bin. As I look at the whole story now, at times it feels even disgusting.
So, the boy turned into a girl and decided to make use of this opportunity (no need to explain what it means in hentai). Next you'll see oral sex, anal sex, group sex, raping, chikan groping, masturbation and a strip dance (well, kind of). Tell me if I forgot something. The scenes change each other so quickly they fail to develop a decent plot. The only message you'll get is, "I love sex so much I can't resist. Moreover I've begun anyway". But nobody cares. The problem is, the plot is smooth and intriguing at first (the only fantastic moment is gender bender), but later you get a bunch of old men, domination, pregnancy and futa, which'll make you cross.
Another point is, TSF follows the rule common for many hentai (and not only hentai) products which says, "If you cannot explain something logically, explain it medically". In such a case, ANY superpower (in H-case - high potency and/or sensitivity) may be explained by the fact of taking an experimental pill or injecting a secretly developed formula. Thus, no further explanations are needed. You may wonder why it caused this very effect or why it was that strong it finally became unbelievable and far from real life. The medicine is EXPERIMENTAL! It can have ANY effect! The answer is universal and cuts off any contradictions. Unbelievable.
Another point that always surprised me in hentai is, they always come together. Even it is a former virgin, he or she will always come. BTW, a virgin is always a perfect lover. Losing virginity for a girl is A LITTLE painful and soon she is in heaven. This OVA is not an exception. Ugh. Read books more or return to real life and you'll soon forget about these and many other myths.
The thing that is always curious to watch is the ending. Will the protagonist be rewarded and will the antagonist be punished? Well, TSF has no antagonist except virginity (which was successfully beaten in the end). Surprisingly, the protagonist here was rewarded. I say it this way as every reward has to be earned. Well, it happens so in fairy tales. Was the child good enough to get his candy? No, no and no once again! Why does he chew his candy then? Well, it's hentai not a fairy tale and yeah, he defeated the evil. Nuff said.

=Characters - 5=
The main characters are Takumi and Azusa. Azusa is a nice girl but she turns out to be more spoilt than she looks like. And something tells me her potential wasn't used up to the end as she only appeared when Takumi was too much of. Moreover, her feelings remain vague and unclear.
Takumi was a normal Japanese schoolboy (a virgin!) until he tuned into a girl. His life really changed dramatically. After that the only one we see is a SLUT. First his/her excuses sound like, "These boys are most likely to stay virgins, so I'll let them try", and then, "I've begun already, I have no way back". These are depressing and false statements that teach wrong. You can stop at any time if you really wish. Moreover, he doesn't give a proper model of a girl's behavior as he remains a boy up to the end and states a fully male point of view, i.e. a girl should have as much sex as possible (no matter with whom) and like it, deviations are highly appreciated, and pregnancy is not a problem. Well, liking sex and being a whore are totally different things, while some guys still consider them as equal. Thus I consider Takumi as a weak and negative character.
Endless male lovers are not worth speaking of as they are not characters but sport equipment, after all.

=Art - 8=
Art was the best thing about this OVA. I've already stated it reminded me of Lovely Complex a lot. In fact, if a hentai after LoveCom would have been made some day, Risa would definitely resemble Takumi (in outer appearance, I mean). I would've even made a recommendation binding the two works, but they're TOO different.
Well, the artstyle is bright, energetic and lovely. But here are also some points.
The strange faces, the tongues stuck out and tons of saliva didn't appeal to me. If the excitement is exaggerated that much, it distracts and annoys. Again, it is desirable and guys wish to see it, but it is never true.
The insides shown for me looked like an anatomy lesson and somewhat reminded of guro. I had a feeling that a part of body was cut out or something. IMHO they would've been suitable in hardcore hentai such as Bible Black or Bondage Game. Here they look awkward.
However I assume it's OK as long as you like it.
Some stated episodes 1 and 2 have different art. I'm not peculiar about it so I can't say I've the difference was evident for me. However, in the 2nd episode something was definitely missing.

=Sound - 7=
To judge sound effects has always been difficult for me. Here I may say all seyuus made proper sounds when needed, so I had no complaints about it. However, nothing was particularly stunning.

=Enjoyment - 5=
I enjoyed it until it came to the groper. It was disgusting. After that everything went downhill and the whole 2nd episode was a failure. It was not even arousing.

=Overall - 6=
As far as many new anime works go, the looks often overshadows the sense. This is another case of the kind, which disappointed me greatly. I am aware of the fact that hentai are not created to raise philosophical debates, but still there are examples that touch other themes besides sex. Some are even clever in their own way. TSF is bright and nice-looking as any modern merchandise product, but completely empty as it comes to unwrapping the package. Moreover it contains some harmful additives that may be of no good if you overconsume it. In fact, this OVA had potential that the staff didn't manage to develop. Alas.

Hey, I'm Vice and I'm doing this so YOU can pick the right fapper for tonight.

Hentai Subgenre: Gender Bender.

In short after an accident the protagonist (male) is barely revived through a new Tokyo Ghoulish surgery that made him into a "her" and a fucking sexy one at that. She's a well drawn, well developed and AMAZINGLY voice acted character that has a side effect of the surgery being an overpowering sex drive, making her moan beautifully to only touch.

Best Scene: Being that she used to be a dude she enjoyed provoking them, until they valued the happiness of their dicks over the ... happiness of their former friend, who's now just an easy hot girl first experiencing overpowering female urges.

(Disclaimer: the second episode wasn't so great)

Um, hello. I am arda4888 and normally this is the part where I am saying "welcome to another hentai review or AHR for short." But this hentai was so weird that I just wanna think how it's possible to create something so disgusting and amazing at the same time.

I... I think this hentai just made me feel weird.

So first of all, let's talk about the story: Takumi Musashino is a normal guy but he gets a disease so they use a expremantal drug and give it to takumi. But then Takumi turns into a girl, then she notices that she can have sex.

That's it. Nothing ... strange...right...RIGHT?!?!

So, the first episode of the hentai is great! Takumi's character development is so well designed but then...There comes the second episode, which is the absoulete worst thing that humanity probably seen up until now. Why? Because it includes, first...rape. Which was done properly in the first episode so it didn't made you feel bad. But the second episode has so many rape scenes that it's disgusting! The second and much more disgusting thing is... old mans. WHY? WHY DID SOMEBODY THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO ADD OLD GUYS INTO HENTAIS?!!??! Sorry if I'm seen as a little angry. But I AM ANGRY because of this old guy bullshit.

So just because the fucking second episode, I need to give the story a 6 out of 10 and the character development a 8 out of 10

Sound: Absouletly amazing, it's so great. I think this hentai is the peak of voice acting. It's that great!

A 10 out of 10

Art: It's so great, all of the sex scenes are beatiful, especially the facial expressions oh my god they are soo good!

Definetly a 9 out of 10

Enjoyment: Well... As I said, rape and old guys are just not for me, but... The first episode was great and I have so many mixed feelings about this... A 6 out of 10

Overall: 7 out of 10, JUST DON'T WATCH THE FUCKING SECOND EPISODE

Please, I beg you.

Well i really loved the OVA i wish the author decided to animate the append or the rest of chapters from the manga which i reccomend.
The art style was great and really hot and you can notice the author main inspiration behind the series and Takumi if nobody realized by now it was ranma girl even the downhill from Guy in a girls body at the beginning to cheap whore which is the only way to describe ranma girl at the end.
Well the seiyuu sound quite similar to ranma girl seiyuu in some point and i got confused because of that they sound the ... same.
Well you will love takumi she is one of the sexiest characters from that year sadly the design is too similar to ranma girl so people can't avoid to make comparison betwen both characters same 3 sizes in both,red hair,same height you get the drill.

This title is the only exception to the gender change genre.

Everything is fine here: starting from the magnificent drawing and animation (which I consider to be one of the best), ending with characters and a plot.

I'm not a fan of this, but then I really liked everything!Only one scene on the bus is just worth it.

After that, hentai I began to follow closely the other works of the studio, but for the time being there is not for me what I could single out as well as the TSF monogatari. The scene at the end with the child just killed me.

9/10 - This should be ... done more!

What. The. Fuck. That’s all I could think as I sat there, the fog clearing out of my mind as post-nut clarity set in. It really takes something disturbing for alarm bells to be going off during my fap but TSF managed to set them off. This hentai has an uncanny quality to it, it isn’t just the animation nor the pacing nor the plot itself, it is a cacophony of elements that work tightly in conjunction to leave you feeling one thing : Uncomfortable.

Story : 2

So what makes everything about TSF Monogatari such an unsettling journey? Why of course we must start off with ... the relatively innocent premise.

“Takumi suffers from a terminal illness, agrees to try an experimental gene therapy and is changed into a girl.”

So initially I was thinking that Takumi would be exploring the ups and downs that come with a female body, adjusting to it with the help of other females which he had previously bullied and was rekindling a missed friendship while even perhaps having a romantic endeavour with a close male friend. I expected goofy comedy, I expected an element of romance and moments of wholesomeness. Boy, was I wrong.

I came into this hentai with confidence, expecting an easy ride that would possibly leave me in a better mood and it completely caught me off guard. Straight off the bat something feels off about the world, guys just start groping their buddy that they’d probably hung out with the week before. Before you know it Takumi is giving blowies out by the convenience stores, suddenly he’s being raped and choked in his room and naturally enjoying train molestation. From this point let's say the story gets very “Metamorphosis” and let’s leave it at that (don’t worry there’s a happy ending).

I was in utter shock for a while even after finishing this hentai, but it lacks the nuances of a Metamorphosis, the fact that TSF Monogatari tried to fit in as much sex into it as possible which left no room for character development and any scenario felt like an excuse for another sex scene with a wilder concept. While the story was by no means the worst, it just felt empty as it tried to give the viewer the illusion of a complex story but fell flat while even horrible hentai stories can be somewhat entertaining this was just boring.


Art and Animation : 4

The art and animation were fine overall, they just gave off a certain vibe of hentai that makes me personally uncomfortable and in general it would’ve received a higher rating had certain scenes not been taken in such a gratuitous direction. For me X-Ray has always been an oversight when it came to hentai, if it was there then so what and if it wasn’t then that’s also fine but TSF Monogatari takes it up a notch with some of the most detailed insides of a girl I didn’t know I didn’t need to see. In blowjob closeups we were able to see her teeth and when they showed the inside of the undercarriage it looked like a mash of minced meat. Beyond that, even a censored look at the vagina looked like a mutilated deer carcass and combine that with the slightly off character design, you get a hentai that visually just makes you feel wrong.

Characters : 3

I bashed the story super hard for a lack of character development so naturally the characters weren’t all too great in this hentai. First and foremost, we don’t get to see how the parents played a role in the transition or in Takumi’s fall from grace, so this intimate relationship that plays a big part in Takumi’s life was just absent the entire hentai which made me constantly wondering what his parents thought of both his situation and how he became a teenage prostitute. Furthermore we never get time with each of the guys who pick her up, nor the classmate who left a lasting impression on her so while the hentai would still be good if we could watch Takumi grow there is a lack of character development there so all the characters feel paper thin.

As I alluded to before, the story gave me a kind of Metamorphosis vibe in how we see a normal high schooler quickly plummet to rock bottom however Metamorphosis takes its time to develop each character met along the way as well as our main lead as she realizes the error of her ways. In this hentai, it would be the same except we get a shoehorned happy ending which felt completely unearned and any great character development from Metamorphosis is nowhere to be found here.

Discomfort : 9

I’ve mentioned this with the art and animation, but the show just makes you uncomfortable at every turn. From giving her classmates, who she was previously friends with as a guy, blowies outside a convenience store, to getting viciously raped and slowly enjoying the sensation of getting choked, to enjoying train molestation and even basically humiliation play followed by nyotaimori, it all felt plain wrong. Now the sheer horrors of hentai I have witnessed tower over TSF Monogatari and yet every single scene had me feeling wrong, I didn’t feel pity for this girl yet I wanted to help her. I didn’t care but my brain told me I should.

The whole show, from the lack of character development to the different fetishes at play, works to make you feel like you shouldn’t be watching this, let alone enjoying it. TSF Monogatari hits home with many fringe fetishes but the difference is that these fetishes aren’t things you would normally think of so when they are presented in this manner it just feels like something isn’t right.

Enjoyment : 1

Yeah I did not enjoy this hentai, I was completely expecting something completely opposite of what I received and I wasn’t able to fap for a week after watching it. Morally, I crumbled because I began to question if I should even fap anymore. This is no disturbing shock hentai that tries to surprise you at every turn, it works slowly and meticulously to create an atmosphere of uneasiness where you don’t feel welcome at all. I don’t recommend this hentai except to those looking for humiliation, choking, pregnancy or nyotaimori hentai. Damn I had a bad time

The main plot of TSF Monogatari revolves around a young man who, through some magical or pseudoscientific circumstances, turns into a girl. The plot is quite typical for the genre, but it has its own uniqueness due to the well-developed characters and emotional depth.

Characters are often the personification of internal conflicts related to gender identity and sexuality. Gender reassignment becomes a catalyst for research on personal identity and related emotional and physical changes. This turns an ordinary plot into something deeper and more layered.

One of the main aspects of TSF Monogatari is its conditional "inconvenience" and potential inconsistency. The genre raises questions about how we ... understand gender, sexuality, and identity. The scenes have both erotic and psychological overtones, which elevates him above a simple fan service.

On the one hand, there are fans of the genre who appreciate it for exploring boundaries and taboos, for the opportunity to immerse themselves in new and unexplored feelings through fantasy. For them, such an experience becomes interesting and rare even for the hentai genre, which allows them to take a fresh look at their own prejudices and stereotypes.

On the other hand, there are critics who may believe that TSF Monogatari exploits gender identity and imposes stereotypes. Perhaps they will also see this as a misunderstanding of the real problems that transgender people face. The problem, however, is that this hentai anime often turns out to be quite one-sided, fixated on the external sexual aspects of gender reassignment, without going deeper into the psychological and social stratifications of this situation.

It gives me a disturbing feeling in a good way, but the quality of the product is very mediocre and one-sided... I would like more similar hentai on such topics
