1+2=Paradise

Yuusuke Yamamoto has a crippling phobia of women, and understandably so—the twin girls living next door tried to cut off his penis as a child. Unfortunately, Yuusuke's father is a gynecologist and needs him to overcome his fear so he can inherit the family business. To accomplish this, Yuusuke's father offers sanctuary to sisters Rika and Yuka Nakamura in their home while the girls are studying at the nearby college.

In a terrible twist of fate, when Yuusuke realizes that their guest room is too small for two people, he is forced to choose which of the sisters is allowed to stay. Desperate to win his favor, the brazen Yuka and the more reserved Rika are willing to do whatever it takes to impress and eventually sway Yuusuke—even if it means making things physical and personal.

Story
Story is fairly simple. A boy brought down with a curse. Question is will the guilt party be able to cure it? As for how the story is told i am a bit conflicted. The introduction was perfect. Not only did it sum up what was to come in the future but the viewer like the main character were on the same page, dumbfounded with clues. As the story progressed more insight was brought in. In all the story could be told by a couple scenes. In other words while the show was an okay production the remaining about 70 percent or ... so was ecchi/comedy based. Good i guess if either is your favorite. However, i find a show that has more plot is more entertaining. For ecchi based shows grow weak after a point. Much like eating your favorite ice cream. If you have too much you will get a headache. If you don't have enough you will be hungry for more. Which is why i feel only a little is needed. Especially if the character tree branch is small. Now, if the show was plot heavy it would be hard for a show to grow dull. For one wouldn't know generally what was to come next.

Art
Did not stay true. This show had two episodes. I understand the director or someone wanted to show progression in life but their idea of not keeping certain aspects of the characters was a great mistake. For it made the viewer confused if this was the same show or not. For example. you may have decided to watch this show given the blonds shown. In this show let's say you will see that but you won't. A true statement to don't judge a book by its cover.

I also understand some viewers like myself might find certain portions of the show; especially the first episode to be a tad bright but color tools weren't as great as they are now.

Overall: If plot was more the key aspect and characters remained true i don't see why this show wouldn't fair well. Although, with neither being true i can understand why this show did not fly off the shelves.

This review is my first ever review and thus I only rate it based on enjoyment and other factors. This is all based on my opinion you can either accept it or not, read it or not read it :3
But now for this review :3

When I first watched this Anime I thought it was really bad but after rewatching it, it’s not so bad. It’s really amusing. >w<

I give the Story (4-5/10) because the story is about a protagonist who is scared of girls because something that happened in his past. His father invites two twin girls sisters to try curing his phobia. The first ... episode is pretty much simple to understand where as the second episode was more random as if the creators wanted to try something entirely new.

I give the Art (6/10) because the animation was pretty much alright, I like the way they have contrasting colors for example in the first episode the girls was ginger haired whereas the second they are blond. Since this is an old OVA Anime you can instantly feel and recognize it in the art.

I give the Sound (5.5-6.5/10) because I actually enjoyed the background music that’s been used which gives me the older days feels. The Ending songs was pretty much average and I can’t think of a reason to listen those songs at all even if I was an adult in that time where this anime ova came out, I’m actually pretty curious about this anime’s background music if there is some kind of album lol.

I give the Character (6-7/10). Because I actually enjoyed the unique designs for the girls, I think the creator that made KissxSis got inspired by this anime OVA since the one girl named Rika had alot of common features with Rika from KissxSis, a coincidence? I don’t think so. Whereas the boy with phobia was pretty much average, he kind of was a bit irritating of me but I guess later he became ok. His father was pretty much disturbing to me, where the insane rich girl comes second but I guess the different personalities of those support characters gives a good grasp on how characters was made in the 90’s.

I give Enjoyment (6-7/10). This Anime OVA was pretty much fun to watch; my first time was pretty much disturbing but sometimes you just got to give something a second chance for better understanding it. My main criteria for loving an anime is a great story/plot and memorable unique characters with meaningful character development. This Anime had a lot of decent ratings in certain areas but the story was there where it lacked most, I might have been kind for giving it the rating I gave, I don’t know? But the Art/Animation, Sound/Music, and Characters made this worth a watch.

I had a lot of fun writing this review (since it was my first time), and since I’m rewatching some of my old completed Anime I might make more reviews. Writing this review also made me appreciate this Anime OVA more, since I personally thought this was to an overall rating of 5, but I changed my mind and give it 6 for its unique creativity, if I could read Japanese I would try giving the manga a chance, but I just must see in the future. :3

Overall Rating 6 - Good ^_^

Important Note: I offer Special Personal Interviews which can be found on my profile under the section "My Anime Reviews". This will be served as an extra service for the interested ones, since you should consider it an Extension of the Reviews. Beware that the Special Personal Interviews will only be focused on those that have watched the anime, since it will contain heavy spoilers of any sort, so if you haven't watched the reviewed anime then don't read those Special Personal Interviews.

When they ask me an anime that is bad in all aspects, this anime always comes to mind, why? well I'll explain that to you in this review

Story (2/10) and enjoyment (4/10):
The story is quite simple and generic, with the only interesting aspect being the protagonist's fear of women. Also sometimes there can be "funny situations" since this anime does not take itself very seriously, only the first few minutes of this anime will make you question what the fuck are you watching. Somehow this anime manages to be one of those bad anime that can be enjoyed for that very reason.

Characters (2/10):
The characters ... are onedimensional and boring, Barako, despite being also a shitty character, is at least a bit charismatic, but the other characters are completely forgettable.

Art and sound: (2/10):
Now, if the story was already very bad, in animation it is even worse, i never saw a j.c staff anime with good animation, it came out in ova format and even with that the animation is terrible.
The voice acting is mediocre.


With nothing more to say I end this review giving to "1+2=paradise" a 2/10
