Taimanin Shiranui: Inyoku no Dorei Shoufu

"Looks like you're enjoying this sideshow today, Shiranui."

Story: The story picks up from where the Taimanin Yukikaze Special left off. Shiranui was captured, had her body tempered with aphrodisiacs and started being trained as a prostitute slave by countless men (classic Taimanin).

Art: Art looked good enough. I really liked the usage of pink but the aspect ratio bothered me quite a bit and I saw no reason for it to be the way it was. Animation was mostly fine, but sometimes it would look like a .png being dragged across the screen on Photoshop.

Sound: Shiranui's voice sounded real good, and her moans were very sexy. ... The men's voices were annoying, but that's to be expected. Sound effects were by far the worst thing here, especially in the x-rays, making me burst out laughing twice during the creampie and double penetration. The soundtrack throughout the whole thing sounded like an austistic kid trying to play the bar's piano as his mom tries to drag his alcoholic dad home. I kind of liked the credit's song, but it felt too out of place.

Character: Shiranui looked gorgeous, even though her cup size did seemed a bit off and inconsistent, but I can imagine how hard it is to animate something that big. The men were all generic, obnoxious, ugly middle-aged creeps and just made me miss the demons and tentacles.

Enjoyment: Quality overall seemed to keep randomly dropping, all the creampies felt static and boring, animation was too looped and most scenes dragged on for too long, like they made 10 minutes of material and then stretched it up to 20. The ending was also very unsatisfying.

Overall: I wasn't expecting much, but it doesn't make it feel less of a letdown to think this was supposed to be the Taimanin Yukikaze game's 10th anniversary celebration. Still, if you just wanted to see more of Shiranui, it's definitely worth a shot.

I remember being very excited when ZiZ announced this show on their website as a new entry to the Taimanin-verse is always welcomed in my eyes, however, Shiranui ended up being rather disappointing to me. Let's get into why!

The story:
Taimanin Shiranui opens up with recap of the Taimanin Yukikaze box-set special that looked absolutely fucking abysmal which isn't really a good way to start the show. After the recap we see Yukikaze's dead body decapitated with her mother, Shiranui, standing above it covered in blood. Shiranui is then told she will be given a reward for her good job which happens to be about 18 ... minutes of prostitution sex! Woohoo I'm so happy!! (not). The rest of the episode is just sex and more sex that only serves as a reminder that the "Under Eden" brothel is evil.

The art/animation:
Taimanin Shiranui is a production by ZiZ. The animation was handled by the rather new "Teatro Nishi Tokyo Studio" who has only ever done a few (not very good) ZiZ productions. Surprisingly this actually looks stunning in the modern hentai market as it doesn't suffer from "smudging". One gripe I do have with the art is the weird aspect ratio the show is in, I don't know if that was just the source I was watching it from but the two black bars at the top and bottom are annoying. Animation-wise it's decent nothing spectacular but I'm just happy to see art where the facial features are defined and it doesn't look like shit.

Sound:
The voice acting is good and the ending song is really fun even if it is just a generic techno beat. No real gripes with it and other than the ED I have no real praises.

Overall:
This is a "pseudo-adaptation" of Taimanin Yukikaze. It's supposed to tie in with the box-set special that at max 4 people watched, luckily I happened to be one of the ones who watched it so I understood the story it was going for. Unfortunately making a completely different ending to an already finished story doesn't really work and for that reason I'll have to give it a 5/10.
