Tonari no Ie no Anette-san The Animation

"I'm Anette, the one who moved next door."

Story: After Wagaya no Liliana-san, it's time for Anette's turn to have some fun. She is the new neighbor of our protagonist, and after accepting his advances, you guessed it, they bang.

Art: Fantastic art, I loved the oily shiny aspect of Anettes's skin. Very good animation and the angles are perfect.

Sound: Very good voices, but the protagonist was a bit too loud sometimes. Very good sound effects, too. The soundtrack was a little more upbeat than the previous one, but still very soft.

Character: Anette is just way too cute and way too hot ("perfectly balanced, as all things ... should be"). I'm really glad they changed the protagonist from the Wagaya no Liliana-san to a more assertive one, even though he's kind of a dumbass.

Enjoyment: I liked this one more than the previous one actually, it really felt like an upgrade.

Overall: If you liked Wagaya no Liliana-san or just like big dark-skinned women in general, you're definitely going to like this.

This hentai was painful, I only watched it because I had seen it under 'Wagaya no Liliana-san The Animation' {a very good hentai compared to this} and I was excited to check it out, but it just led to me being disappointed and super bored.

Story 2/10: dreadful, there was not even a story at all, just a girl with huge breasts that lives next to a guy that wants to knock her up. Too simple, generic and never expanded on, so it was boring.

Art 7/10: The art was pretty but a bit too much? Some of the movements stuck out to me and were ... animated well, and others were reused clips just different dialogue. overall very pretty but a bit harsh on the eyes with all the shiny glares on Anette's skin, I do have to say though, Anette's face was very nicely drawn and I like the given style.

Sound 5/10: I didn't like any of the VA's but they did a good job at least. Kinda felt like it was missing something though in the sound department that I can't put my finger on (might be music). All the sound effects were good, the VA's were average and there isn't much to take note of.

Character 2/10: I couldn't even be invested in the character, Anette was bland, just dick hungry, and the guy only wanted to knock her up. There was no development, just "oh your boobs r big let's do smex" there was nothing at all other than that. I sat there for 25 minutes just watching smex with no interest in the actual characters and by the end of it I was just super bored. They were so bland it puts all character creation to shame.

Enjoyment 3/10: if you only wanna watch Smex with nothing else, then this is for you, if you want to see a bit of development and get into the characters, don't watch this, just go and watch 'Wagaya no Liliana-san The Animation' instead cuz that actually builds character unlike this.

Overall 4/10: animation was nice, sound, okay, but everything lacking in one way or another, and not worth the waste of time, just go find any other hentai, and it would be more developed story-wise and more entertaining, trust me.

Pink Pineapple is easily one of, if not the most recognizable hentai studios among the fans, as most of their works have great production behind them. A recent trend that the studio has been adopting is creating more so called "duplicates" to there original works, which basically takes form in the duplicate having almost identical story beats and characters to the predecessor. Most commonly seen in 'Aikagi' and 'Aibeya'. Pink Pineapple has done the same with their highly acclaimed hentai from a year ago 'Wagaya no Liliana-san", by making an alternate version in the form of 'Tonari no Ie no Anette-san The Animation' which is ... the hentai for today's review.

Story: 4/10.
Tonari no Ie no Anette-san's story is pitiful. It takes no effort to establish the relationship of these characters before jumping into the shmex scenes. It also doesn't help that the premise is extremely generic. These are not where the overbearing flaws end. If the rushed introduction was not enough than the little amount of care that is put into fleshing out the relationship of the two leads after the first sexual interaction is laughable.

Art and Animation: 5/10.
While Pink Pineapple is one of the most popular studios out there, many in the community do believe that they're visual aspects are lacking. While I do have my fair share of issues with the studio, I have always been under the impression that Pink Pineapple was a prominent example of "how to produce hentai properly in terms of the visual aesthetics". Unfortunately, this hentai let me down immensely. The art in this hentai is the perfect example of the growing issue that is occurring in present day, "we are trying to make everything too flashy". The proportions of Anette-san is tooo much. Look... I get it, hentai is for what is unimaginable in real life. But this is too much. The proportions of Anette-san reach a point of me succumbing to not wanting to watch the hentai. I've said this in other reviews and I'll say it again, we need to chill the fuck out with the contrast! I did have a few issues with "Wagaya no Liliana-san's" contrast, but for the most part it was nicely done. Now this is just too much. I may be indifferent about the proportions when compared to everyone else, but for those of you who like the proportions I doubt it makes it anymore enjoyable when the contrast is blinding you. The only somewhat redeeming part of this section would have to be the animation, which is expected from this studio.

Sound: 9/10.
I don't think I need to explain myself. The VA is nice, the bg music is very up to par and it never takes away from the experience too much.

Character: 5/10.
I already addressed my issues with Anette-san in terms of character desing in the 'art and animation' portion. To sum up that... her body proportions are too ridiculously to the point where it brings downs her overall design. What about personality you may be asking? Not much I can say really... she doesn't have too much to work with as you only see one side of her due to the overreliance on shemex scenes within the hentai. But the problem lies within how she feels 'generic'. I have no issue with generic characters or tropes, as long as time is taken to flesh out the aforementioned. But that is the issue, this hentai doesn't have time for that. For a 25 minute hentai it should have time to do this, yet it doesn't choose to. Which is why sections such as this struggle in response to that, which is simply hard to watch.

Enjoyment: 3/10.
I did not enjoy "Tonari no Ie no Anette-san The Animation". The truth is, I wanted to love this hentai, I wanted to be able to praise it just like Wagaya no Liliana-san. But I can't lie about liking something. I won't act like there was not potential for this hentai, but the problem is it didn't use its potential. The art, animation, story and characters are all lacking the the point where I have next to no high praise to say for this show.

Overall: 4/10.
Overall, I would no recommended "Tonari no Ie no Anette-san The Animation". If you want a similar hentai just go with "Wagaya no Liliana-san The Animation", trust me when I say it is farrrrrr superior to this hot piece of garbage. I really hope the medium of hentai does not succumb to these issues of flashy art and lackluster story-telling and character exposition. Furthermore, this hentai serves as a grim remainder of the worst of hentai.
