Futari Ecchi

Futari Ecchi is an Adult ecchi comedy about people who really love each other. During the course of the series, they are learning to accept each other for the good and bad about themselves. Yes, there is some ecchiness in the 4 OVA's like the title suggests. However, very few animes have ever captured what it is really like to be married in the way that it has done. Off the top of my head, probably only Onegai Teacher did as good of job as Futari Ecchi in portraying the awkwardness of two people coming together in marriage for what ever reason in Anime during ... the last couple of years. It may not be a title for all anime lovers, but I would recommend it for someone wanting a romantic comedy that you can feel good about after you watch it. Just be sure to watch with someone you love by your side.

That awkward moment when you are expecting a romantic comedy and the softcore porn rolls out... but what the hell right? Lets just talk about it.

Makoto and yura are both 25 year old virgins and they just got married and are now realizing "oh shit, I have no idea how to have sex." Now there's a line between being a virgin and not knowing alot about what to do, and just straight-up sexual cluelessness and these two are really pushing into the latter category. However these two troopers just keep on trucking (or fucking as the case may be...) and these two crazy kids eventually ... get the hang of things.

Along the way Yuras younger sister comes along and decides to give some sage wisdom (because shes a total slut ands gone around more than a nascar race), a few others offer advice, and at some point about halfway through they must just figure it all out because by episode three the focus is off of them not knowing what the opposite genders' sexual organs are, and moves onto all the crazy kinky adventures they can get into.

Time to actually say what I thought, well, I thought it was good. It represents the sexual awkwardness that is very present those first times and how you really dont know a whole hell of alot, and its good for that. It also makes reference to the fact that when you havnt had any or much sex, you feel like everyone around you is a pornstar or something cuz in your eyes theyre experts(yuras sister, her friends, etc.) Yeah though, its good, you might as well watch it since its only two hours of your life.

*THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS*

Damn, who thought that my very first review would be of a hentai lol

Story: 7

Futari no Ecchi is a hentai ova. At first glance, it may seem like a common hentai. The dude mc has a 12-inch long schlong, the female mc is most likely r*ped, mind-controlled, or just shown to be a really horny slut. But no. This OVA has one of the most wholesome, down to earth and has actually believable relationships in terms of hentai. It's a simple story about a newlywed couple Makoto and Yura Onoda. They are just like any other newlyweds; somewhat awkward and shy. ... Both of them are virgins and don't know much about sex and this anime shows their struggle to get used to each other and learn more about sex for their own sakes. Both of them are considerate of each other and try their very best to please and satisfy each other. They receive tips from their friends/relatives and work on their 'skills' if you know what I mean. There's ample romance and comedy.

Art: 6

The art is pretty average in my opinion. It has the late 90's and early 2000 animation style. In short, it's not the best but still satisfactory. The sex scenes are very vanilla and there are no close-up scenes and that honestly fits the show.

Sound: 6

I'm by no means a 'sound expert' so I can't really say much about the sound quality here. I mean it's hentai so there's occasional moaning. I don't know how to rate moans. The VA has done a fairly good job and I don't really have any complains.

Character: 6

The characters are good but obviously not the best. The husband (Makoto Onoda) is a simple guy but one thing that is weird about him is his fairly intricate daydreams and fantasies. He daydreams about weirdly sexual situations even though he's married. But the thing is, no matter how much of a closet pervert he is, he's very loyal to his wife Yura and never does anything to hamper their marriage.

The female mc/wife (Yura Onoda) is a fairly normal working woman. She cares about her husband and is well aware of how inexperienced she is in sexual matters so she does her best to learn new 'things'.

The female mc's sister on the other hand is a total hoe. She has multiple boyfriends and talks dirty but deeply cares for her sister and intimidates Makoto to keep her sister satisfied. She even lends both of them a few tips here and there.

Enjoyment: 7

Honestly, it was a really enjoyable hentai. It's probably the only hentai I've seen about a husband and wife where there's no NTR of any sort. The best thing about this hentai ova is that it has a lot more romance than a lot of 'romance' anime out there. It has very sweet and genuinely wholesome moments. The comedy isn't the best but still pretty good. One of the best and most grounded things is that they are virgins and act like virgins. They don't keep fricking until the morning, the dude just keeps creaming and the girl is always horny etc. No. None of that happens. It's in fact the opposite (and how it actually happens). The first time they have sex, Makoto finishes too soon (since it's his first time), they don't know what else to do, try to find different ways to maximise both of their enjoyment, etc.

Overall: 7

If you're looking for a genuinely romantic anime with plenty of wholesome scenes (and don't mind some nudity) this ova is definitely worth a shot.

Thanks for checking out this review! Have a nice day!
