Genmukan

oh crap hentai with plot....? the world will now end

i was as interested in the mystery more than the hot sex scenes.... i actually skipped some of the hentai too get on with the story....

My 3rd hentai review and I'll score this a 7.

This was one of the recommended animes and I was interested to know how a mystery plot would go with hentai. And surprisingly enough, it was not too bad.

Characters: Kidou (the detective), Ayano (the mistress of the house), 3 more girls and 1 old butler. I would not go into detail since it would not really matter.

Story: Mr Detective gets an assignment regarding a missing ring. This is supposed to be an important heirloom and they need to find it asap. Hmmm... so where's the mystery? It sounds like a typical hentai to me. So as ... the story unfolds, the missing son/heir of the house is the detective. Surprise! Surprise! Well, not really - but it was told in a kinda subtle way. If you're not paying attention, you might actually miss it.

So as for the 'other' parts, I'd say - nice job. I was a hesitant to watch this because of the 'incest' but it was good to know that the characters are not not blood related. Or else, I wouldn't have finished this one. The mistress looked young while the other characters were 'well-developed'. So much for preferences. Mr Detective gets it on with all the girls, of course. H-scenes are okay to good kinky - nothing over the top. Yuri scene was too long for me.

The ending is the reason I scored this a 7. The main character was a good man - i mean, he was career driven (LOL). Supporting characters were okay. They tried to give it a story but the ending really sucks, I just don't get it.

Recommended? Maybe for those intrigued and wants to know how the ending spoiled this one... :P

The Important part about Genmukan is the plot and it's mystery. Past that, it's only Adequate in the other categories.

Story:7. It's a mystery, following a Detective at an old mansion. As he starts to work through the case, things get complicated. It's not too deep, but it gives a good Mystery feel to it. Nothing dramatic in terms of the mystery, but the story is consistent with it's feel.

Art:6. Nothing too flash. It's not amazing, but it gives enough detail.

Sound:6. Not too fancy. Special effects sound right, and the voice actors give their characters some feeling, though it might ... be a bit bland.

Character:7. You don't get development, but That would be hard in 2 OVAs... That said, the characters have a little bit of originality to them. The Main guy doesn't just screw everything at first glance like some Hentai, so I appreciated his focus.

X-Scenes:6. Features Hetero and some Lesbian. Genetalia is not avoided, but it's nothing to get too excited over. Most of the scenes seemed only average, having nothing special about them, and even seeming a bit dry at times. They aren't thrown in though, and do fit well with the plot.

Overall:6. It's something you can watch in your spare time, but if you have other things to watch, I'd go with them. Don't watch it for the Sex-scenes, as they aren't that special.
It's an average Detective story, that is somewhat entertaining.
