Tsun M! Gyutto Shibatte Shidoushite The Animation

The very idea of S&M style hentai can invoke thoughts and images of gruesome or uneasy moments. Tsun M! Gyutto Shibatte Shidoushite stands alone among them for containing a main tone of wholesomeness that I couldn't help but write a review about to share my personal experiences.

Story- 8. While the premise of student/teacher relationships in a recurring theme and hardly something to get excited about I found myself at times forgetting about that aspect of their relationship. This is mainly due to it being only a launching point. The premise of a couple becoming totally honest with themselves and discovering each other's interests and kinks ... together in the bedroom is refreshing. Being comfortable enough together to do so is a sign of complete trust in each other. One aspect of S&M play that I adore is the necessity of the partners to communicate with each other and the way this was conveyed in a consenting way throughout without the traditional rape vibes was a welcomed light.

Art- 8. The animation and color are both of good quality considering what most hentai have to work with. There were very few flaws that I could easily pick out.

Sound- 6. This is probably the lowest point of the episode for me. There is very little background music to speak of. Perhaps this was intentional to allow us the concentrate on the dialogue more or maybe I'm reading too much into it. The sound of the girl's voice is extremely erotic and very sexy.

Characters- 7. The designs are likable enough. Typical short tsundere girl falling for the awkward and slightly timid MC. Nothing to write home about but the chemistry between the two seemed natural enough.

Enjoyment- 9. As someone who adores shibari and bondage play I couldn't have been happier with the way it was presented here. Again witnessing the couple explore the world of fetishes and kinks together was a joy to behold.

Overall-9. Usually when I watch a hentai it's a one and done thing. So when I find something that keeps me coming back for more time and again it means that it's something special. Even if you are not a fan of S&M play you are sure to find enjoyment in this OVA.

NTR and Rape is a genre that has a huge divide in the hentai community. On one side you have people who enjoy it for a variety of reasons (one being the aspect of S&M), while others can't stand it and feel it ruins hentai. I myself am personally in the middle. I do find myself not liking most NTR hentai's but there are defiantly some that are worth time and praise. I myself don't believe that if NTR is your favorite genre means, you are a rapist. The only thing is to know what is a fantasy and what is reality. With that in ... mind I do find myself enjoying some aspects of NTR but I always feel most hentai's amp this up to 1000 and make me question myself before going to sleep (I am fucking looking at you Boku no Yayoi-san). However, after searching for a while I found the perfect hentai that mixes the good qualities of NTR with other aspects. I am of course talking about: "Tsun M! Gyutto Shibatte Shidoushite The Animation".

Story: 10/10.
The story in Tsun M! is genius. I can see most people liking NTR due to some specific kink they have that really only NTR accomplishes (but it a horrid way). Tsun M! takes the entire foundations of the NTR genre and knocks it on its head. The hentai does this by making the male lead have sexual fantasies of things such as S&M, and starts on a high note by his girlfriend (/student) discovering his addictions. Oh yeah and she is Tsundere. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE? It is literally the formula for a successful, ironic and down right hilarious series (which I assume the creators didn't mean to do xD) . Instead of making the main female get fluffed and fluffed until she bursts and loves doing it makes sure to establish a relationship with the two characters that is tangible, while also giving the main female lead an archetype that fits the mold of the elements it is borrowing from NTR. Long story short, the story is pretty damn amazing.

Art and Animation: 7/10.
The one downside that comes from the amazing premise is the art and animation (or moreover the inconsistencies scattered through out). If I am judging the art solely on outward appearance, it is good. I feel if they went with a more defined color pallet it could have worked out even better but what they went with is still pretty good. The drawing themselves are pretty good too. But a problem I have with the art is the amount of errors there are in terms of continuity. For one scene you'll have it to where Saki still has her panties on, and then the next scene just makes them disappear and then it is back on her thighs in the next shot. Although small, errors like these can be distracting from the overall experience. The animation also feels choppy in some scenes and not in a good way. The series does make decent use of its perspective shots so these art and animation issues don't hinder the overall product as much.

Sound: 8/10.
Sound is really good. All that really needs to be said.

Character: 9/10.
Saki Koike is an amazing female lead, but I will admit the reason she stands out so much is due to the complexity of the premise. But that does not take away from the fact that she is just an amazing character. Her design is very appealing and dare I say reminds me a lot of Kotegawa, Chisa from the anime Grand Blue (which is a really big plus for me). Her personality is what you'd expect, classic Tsun. But hey, if the trope was broke then I would say something, and like I said before she really compliments the narrative structure!

Enjoyment: 8/10.
The story itself was amazing to see unfold and the character of Saki Koike was amazing! The art and animation can be stiff, and opaque in design, but overall it gets the job done with only a few short down-swings.

Overall: 8/10.
Overall, I would highly recommend you go check out "Tsun M! Gyutto Shibatte Shidoushite The Animation". If you are a NTR fan you will like this, if you are not a NTR fan because of the rape THEN YOU WILL DEFINITELY LIKE THIS, as it is more of a way to make fun of that genre. Just go watch it! I swear you won't regret it! Now let's just hope this gets an episode 2!
