Junjou Shoujo Et Cetera

Pure-Hearted Girl Et Cetera is true to it’s name. It’s pure-hearted love (with a little extra spice).

The art style is a mix between ‘cute’ and ‘mature’. The color pallet, designs and animation are all fun and lighthearted. Everything works to get across it’s ‘clean, pure love’ aesthetic. The others works credited the studio, Studio 1st, such as Fuzzy Lips, Mokkai Shiyo and Jewelry the Animation, show that this really is their forte.

The plot matters as much as plot matters in things like romcoms: the dynamic and connection to the characters is what’s important. Both the female and male character’s have cute and unique designs.

The main ... girl is a shy new student with glasses, the guy is good-natured, and thinks she looks like she’ll grow up to be the hot mature office lady type that he’s into. It plays into that with some fun scenarios: some school rooftop exhibitionism and playing into the ‘mature office lady’ fetish.

The second, unrelated story isn’t as enjoyable, for me at least, but it isn’t something that will turn you off if you enjoyed the first.

Overall, high recommended to those looking for pure-hearted love (with a little something-something).

Junjou Shoujo Et Cetera (Pure-hearted Girl Et Cetera) is a two-part OVA series by Studio 1st. It's a fairly standard vanilla hentai, so I don't have a whole lot to say about it. I generally found it to be enjoyable, but it also doesn't do a whole lot to stand out.

So, what's the story of this hentai? Well, this series consists of two episodes, each telling a different story with different characters. The first episode follows a girl who transfers to a new school. While there, she meets a guy that has a crush on her, and they start dating. ... There's a bit of drama towards the end (revolving around a misunderstanding), but that's about it. The first episode definitely has a very simplistic story, but I think it's still the better of the two episodes for other reasons.

The second episode is much more unique. The story revolves around a different girl who's partaking in online masturbation sessions. She has a vibrator and some kind of headset that connects to another pair owned by someone else. They use these to roleplay having sex. Sorry if this explanation doesn't make any sense, you sort of have to see it to understand it. I haven't seen this plot done before, so props for originality I guess. However, I do have a few issues with this story. Firstly, this is pretty much the entire episode, the girl masturbates and pretends to have sex with someone. Not very exciting. Secondly, I feel the whole "virtual" aspect cheapens the scenes. The girl isn't really getting it on with someone, she's just shoving plastic up her coochie.

Moving on from the story; how's the art/animation? It's decent. I've seen much better, but I've also seen much worse. The characters are decently designed, I particularly like the girl from the first episode. They also have a unique art style in the second episode for the "fantasy" scenes. The animation is a little slow, but the art helps compensate for it somewhat. I think the first episode has better direction, since the sex scenes are more creative (the one on the roof being the best imo). On the downside, I found the censorship rather extreme and sloppy. Distance shots suffer in particular, since everything turns into a mass of pixals. The voice actors also had a decent performance, although I think they could've been a little more emotive.

I enjoyed Junjou Shoujo Et Cetera overall, but it wasn't spectacular. Neither episode is bad, the first one is definitely good, while the second one is more mediocre. There're some decent aspects, but there isn't really anything that stands out either. This is a perfectly average hentai, in every regard. 6/10

So, would I reccomend you watch this OVA series? Yeah, specifically the first episode. But if you decide to watch both, don't expect anything amazing.
