8-shaku 8-wa Kerakumeguri: Igyou Kaikitan The Animation

In my opinion, three episodes for all the stories represented in the manga are very few and, in fact, not all are shown, but only the first (in the first episode), the fifth (in the second episode) and the last (always in the second episode); I don't understand this choice.
However, the characters and the shots in the different scenes are very faithful to the manga.
The animations of the second episode felt a bit static to me.
Another curious thing is the choice of the title of the last episode, "Episode 2 Bonus", a continuation of the first story, which I did not mind because it is ... my favorite; for me, they could also use it to tell another story or two.
In conclusion, it is a very particular hentai horror, which alternates "mixed" stories with purely horror stories. The designs are done very well.

Do you remember that time you were growing up in the Japanese countryside as a child and then you were suddenly molested by an 8-foot tall ghost that was thicker than a bowl of oatmeal? Me neither, but that's the plot of Hachishaku Hachiwa Keraku Meguri. A young man stuck at the side of the road in the pouring rain as his motorbike has broken down and can't get reception on his phone. He is now trying to hitchhike his way to the nearest town. Thankfully a taxi picks him up and the female drive is more than happy to take him where he wants ... to go without charge. As the driver takes him to his destination, he decides to tell her a scary story about his childhood about the one time he met a dark spirit as he was collecting bugs.

As you can tell from that plot description that Hachishaku Hachiwa Keraku Meguri is a horror themed hentai, and It's actually half-way decently creepy. The animation and art style is actually pretty decent, and the soundtrack is appropriately spooky, for a hentai at least, and it actually spends time setting up an atmosphere, and all of this is done in two 15 minute episodes. The fact that it's creepier than most the regular anime that I've seen and it does it in about the time of a single episode, it says something about just how bad a lot of horror anime is that a hentai can do just a good of a job. At least I can pull out my cock and have the cum spooked out of me with a hentai.

The start of the second episode is straight up a horror short story with no sex and some mild gore. I don't know what I was expecting when I went into this hentai but I wasn't expecting something that I could actually pull out during the month of October for both a scare and to quickly rub one out. Well, both activate the same part of the brain so I guess it makes sense to mix both.

"Why are you setting up spider webs in July?" "Spider webs?" "Oh, must be for the new Spider-Man." "....sure."

Beyond that it didn't really do anything for me personally. While I have no problem with the size difference, I'm not into shotacon or that weird lounge animation that some anime do. I know someone will get a kick out of this. That's if they can get passed the night terrors that this might induce in some people. But I guess since people got something out of Lady Dimitrescu, someone out there is definitely getting something out of a Ghost MommyTM.

There is also a bonus 15 minute episode that forgoes the plot and is just a sex scene, which is good for those who just want the sex and don't want to have to either skip through the plot just to jerk off or have to find a streaming site just to find a video that's already cut out the plot for you. Also, it's the most normal sex scene out of the entire hentai.

I don't know how many people have watched and enjoyed the series, but I suspect they haven't seen the manga. This is a bad adaptation. First of all, the art is too bland, and boring. I know they wanted to develop the story of hachisaku-sama, but what I saw in eps 2 and 3 was nothing new, just annoying sex scenes. And you know what, they miss out on the remaining 6 stories in the manga, which to me are also very stimulating. Sound, music? Too disappointed. What to expect from the anime version compared to the manga other than the sound? But the dubbing ... doesn't even match. I will simply remember what happens in the manga, instead of these tedious frames. The completely unique art in the manga was brought to the screen in a boring way. I recommend reading the manga instead of trying to watch all these forgettable episodes.
