Nozo x Kimi

Ok, so that was a nice fanservice based OVA, and I'm glad that it's finish, good thing that studio Zexcs only limit it to a 3 ep OVA, cu'z the OVA has no sense in it anyways, so how do I rate this OVA? Here's how:

Story: Fair 6.

Frankly the story about a guy who is blackmailed by such girl as Nozomi maybe just a typical thing, but then again, since this OVA has a comedy element in it, I guess It would be fair enough that it should have such score. But, let's not forget that this anime rely on the ecchi element throughout, and ... that the comedy aspect always depend on the guy.


Art: Great 9.

The score is for the uncensored fanservice, that includes, panty shots, boob flashes and the butt exposure.

Sound: Fair 6.

I don't give a damned about the opening and closing theme, I just find the VA who did Kimio's voice nice, the rest of the cast sounded like milfs.


Character: Pathetic 1.

well, what can I say, the guy Kimio is the quintessential pathetic guy who doesn't know the blessing he has with Nozomi, I mean here you are, you got this bombshell bitch who would be too willing to let you bang her, but he doesn't, the guy is just some goody 2 shoes fool. There are also other girls present like oppai chan Makino who wouldn't mind if the guy dig his face on her boobs, Mirei who wouldn't hesitate to be the mistress and Michiru who wouldn't mind to have dirty sex with the guy, btw of all the girls she is the one that I mostly like to hate.


Enjoyment: Great 1.

As, I enjoy this anime's art, it is just natural that my enjoyment stem from the uncensored fanservice, and that's that.


Overall: Pathetic 1.

I may like the fanservice, but tbh, this OVA isn't much of any worth and so as the manga where I'm currently at chapter 2. So when watching this, just don't expect a lot, period.

Wow. This was just... awful. This is based on just the first episode that has been released. I will preface this though by saying that I am a gigantic fan of the Nozoki Ana manga (it is my favorite smut manga by far, and one of my favorite manga overall) so I was probably expecting a bit more from Nozo x Kimi as it comes from the same mangaka. I wasn't a big fan of the original Nozoki Ana OVA as it didn't really do the source enough justice imo so my expectations were relatively tempered for this. However, I still wasn't expecting the Nozo ... x Kimi OVA to be this terrible.

Story: 2/10
Characters: 2/10

You can get most of the story from the synopsis above and really, the creators speed through the intro so quickly that it is almost the same thing. I honestly think that some of the problems may stem from the manga as well. I haven't read it (I was considering starting it if what I saw in the OVA was ok) but the setup/premise, bland characters, overused high school setting and the stale "peeping" dynamic just don't seem very original or fresh especially when compared with Nozoki Ana and the mountain of other high school ecchi anime/manga available. It really isn't very risqué either. We honestly get only one scene with bare breasts and the rest are little panty or bra shots. There is nothing on the mature level of Nozoki Ana.

We are rushed through everything and don't really feel any of that "excitement" or those "cringeworthy" emotions that the characters keep alluding to. Perhaps the manga does a bit of a better job developing things with a much better pace but I honestly can't see the cookie cutter characters and high school setting being improved upon that much.

Art: 2/10

In just looking at the OVA, the animation quality was not good and felt quite cheap (so many of those weird bubble things). The manga from what I've seen has much better quality in regards to this. I also really did not like the art and character designs that were used here. They were very generic and didn't really look attractive to me at all especially compared to the designs used in Nozoki Ana (both the OVA and manga).

Sound: 3/10

The dialogue was absolutely terrible and that probably comes from the rushing and very bland story too. I at least thought that the VAs were pretty solid but they honestly weren't given much to work with. No OP and I don't think that I even waited to hear the rest of the ED.

Enjoyment: 2/10
Overall: 2/10

Maybe I'm comparing this too much to my beloved Nozoki Ana and being a bit too harsh on Nozo x Kimi. However, there would definitely be no chance that I would have watched this if I didn't know it was by the same mangaka. Even taken as just a standalone OVA, there is absolutely nothing that distinguishes this incredibly rushed OVA from other ecchi high school anime/manga out there. Don't expect too much here folks. Your time is better spent rewatching or rereading Nozoki Ana.

This could have been one of those series which you'd watch to just pass your time and you know have fun. ;)
While we have a cold but sexy female lead who is all hot for our male lead for no apparent reason as always, the plot in the OVA's mostly centers around fan service.
Except above all the cliche scenes and idiotic drama, we have an absolute trash of a male lead. Lacks resolve, totally immature and unlikable apart from being overly timid and a pervert. Nothing good about him and even worse than most cliche protagonists. I'd consider it bad, if not for this ... character but this show is torture.

In the end, this anime is only good if you want to see some boobs and panties in random shots.
