Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko.

At times Henneko resembles its lead character, trying to put up a façade of its very own. It often tried to portray itself as dramatic and moving, but because of its poor pacing, repellent fanservice, and borderline ridiculous drama, it was extremely easy to see through this façade. These are just a few of Henneko’s many problems, which you will learn if you continue reading. I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews, but warning you against this show is practically public service.

Story
The premise of Henneko, two characters searching to reclaim that which they carelessly wished away, is uninspired. Be careful what you wish for scenarios are ... a dime-a-dozen and I’m sure that there are many better executed examples out there. Instead of exploring in any real depth why Yokodera and Tsukiko wished to rid themselves of that which they considered burdensome and undergoing a thorough dissection of their characters and motivations, this show chose to be nothing more than mindless entertainment, which would be fine, if that entertainment didn’t come in the form of unfunny, un-titillating (come on, people, these kids may be legal, but they look about eight), and offensive fanservice. Henneko also flip-flopped as to whether the cat gods were benevolent or malevolent. It waited until the show was mostly over to set them up as the villains of the piece. Additionally, one of the characters becomes ill to the point of being at death’s door, because of mildew. These things were poorly timed, poorly thought-out attempts to create additional conflict, because Henneko’s central conflict was resolved just a few episodes in. It should come as no surprise then that that which was intended to keep me invested and tug at my heartstrings prompted nothing but bewilderment and frustration.

Characters
I didn’t like a single character. What’s there to like about an immature, teenage pervert whose defining trait is his ability to put up a façade and lie to other people about his true intentions and an emotionless husk of a girl? And that’s just the two lead characters. The other female characters compensated for the lead’s lack of personality by being too loud and too over-the-top – caricatures of actual, real people. More upsetting was the female characters’ reactions to Yokodera’s advances (accidental or otherwise). On the whole, they appeared shocked, but otherwise flattered to find themselves in degrading, mortifying positions. What kind of poisonous message does that send out to anybody watching Henneko? That girls secretly enjoy being assaulted or will, at the very least, resign themselves to their fate should they be so misfortunate as to find themselves in that position? To imply that in today’s day and age is absolutely disgusting.

Art and music
Henneko’s art was alright. It was an improvement on that of JC Staff shows gone by, anyway. Its background art and character designs were acceptable, if not excellent. Henneko’s music was equally passable. I didn’t especially like the opening or ending tracks, but that’s to do with my aversion towards extremely high-pitched female vocals, but some background pieces were rather nice and enhanced the mood of the scenes they were played during.

Overall enjoyment
The only enjoyment I got out of Henneko was the undiluted relief upon finishing it and realising that my torment was over. Its story was uninspired, poorly paced, and lacking believable conflict, its characters were intolerable, and its fanservice, offensive. I would strongly advise you not to watch Henneko. Even if all you’re after is fanservice, you’d be scraping the bottom of the barrel to turn to this show.

This anime begins being very interesting, as the protagonist seems to be a pervert with little shame. But this soon leaves place to other matters, with the series involving some all-mighty cat statues which grant wishes. One would think that with anything having the chance to become possible, things will become serious at any moment. Well, they don't. The series mostly involves a lot of monotonous slice of life.

Characters seem very weak. One extremely big error is to deprive the feminine protagonist of her emotions at the first episode. This is not cute at all, it's as depriving Goku of becoming a super saiyan. One ... way to be cute is to show emotions.

Also, with the protagonist being called "The pervert prince", one would expect a pervert, not a guy who wanders into an occupied bathroom by chance. I'm not impressed at all by his pervertness.

There's also some filler episodes, even given the short episode spam, which do not add a lot the series (the extra imouto episodes).

You will find some kind of story on the last two episodes, though. Things get a little emotional and briefly interesting, and then the anime ends as it could have ended on the second episode.

One terrible thing is that music is almost non-existant. I think there was a good track and lots of silence.

Good: the first episode and the last two ones.
Bad: shallow caracters, with one of them even facially handicapped.

For having hentai in the title it had actually very little panty shots, ass or boobs. I was very disappointed. The less important stuff like characters and plot were bad. MC was the usual good guy though he had this ouvert "pervert" status, not really hindering him from attracting girls non the less. I liked the bizarre and dramatic plot twists, though I had hoped he would keep the "super honest, bottom from the heart" wish throughout because with his dirty thoughts it could have created so much more. Instead it went meh. And the girls were not interesting either. Loli, cute little sister tropes, ... big sis big boobs and even shotacon towards the end... I did not sign up for the last one.
