Aneimo

Ah, one of the first hentais I have watched. Aneimo is a hentai that follows the classic h-game storytelling. A vanilla story of a man who finds love as girls come flying into his life as he gains adopted family members and of how this fact changed the girls who were already gunning for the man. The story seems quite honest at first, but the setup for sex scenarios is kind of forced. Can't really blame it though, it's hentai so the sex gotta be shoved in somehow, and fast. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The strong part of the story is that it sets up a good exposition. The ... story building is great. Yet the fact of the matter is that its hentai, so it does feel drawn out given how long it takes to actually reach some R18+ material.

Unfortunately, the characters are weaker than the story itself. They are flat and static, aka basic as fuck. That simplicity does make their relationships clear, but it breaks down the attachment to these characters. The characters act and react in predictable ways.

The main man is a bum rush kind of guy. It's fairly unlikeable, but he does demonstrate some maturity in turning down childhood gals feelings instead of going into some ridiculous netorare territory. Childhood gal also demonstrates maturity for not dramatizing over it, getting over it in time. Unfortunately, adopted moody girl is definitely a drama llama. For good reason, but still a drama llama nonetheless.

Perhaps the greatest part about this anime isn't even the story, but the sex scenes. It isn't transcendental artwork and is still flawed by its age. However, the sex animation is quite a bit more dynamic than many modern hentais. Certainly hentai masterpieces are even more dynamic, but this hentai beats out much of the rigid intercourse that barely has any movement at all and only switches angles and gives x-ray views. The rising intensity of the hentai can be felt in your loins as they approach the climax. Hallelujah!

I did quite enjoy this hentai. Feels quite satisfying to see how these characters don't over dramatize things to absurd degrees and reacts in a semi-realistic way. It has the standard vanilla soundtrack so there isn't anything to write home about. Even though this hentai isn't objectively that great, it is a nice change of pace from some of the absurdity you see in modern hentai.
