I don’t understand the praise for this.
Tonikaku tries to be different and yet it falls short. Actually, scratch that. It falls FAR from being any different from any rom-com that I’ve seen. It attempted to mix up the order of a cliche and yet it still is the cliche. The show doesn’t know what it wants to be itself and there is near to nothing redeemable about the show. I have plenty of reasons why, as well. Let's dive in, shall we?
TL;DR at the bottom
Story
One look at the plot reveals that there’s nothing special. In summary, the protagonist, Nasa, gets really smart and later sees
a girl he likes and is too scared to confess. Hmmm, I’ve never seen this before. But wait! There’s Truck-Kun to save the day! Truck-Kun hits poor Nasa while he’s crossing the road! But fortunately for him, there’s the girl there to save the day. Let’s take a pause here, the synopsis itself is unappealing. It glues a bunch of cliches together into one giant mess; a protagonist that likes a girl, a girl that he’s too scared to confess to, and a truck that hits the protagonist. This has been seen God knows how many times even the newest of new weebs find the concept repetitive. Of course, this smart guy decides to try to ask out this girl after nearly bleeding to death, then she says yes on the condition that they marry. Then after a long while of not meeting, the girl just comes to his doorstep to marry him. Seriously? I don’t care how many people come up here using their excuses, this plot is straight-up brainless, like the story was made using mad libs and you pick the words using a random word generator.
On top of all of this, the show clearly wants to be different. The director was like, “You know what? Let’s just skip to the end and get them married”. This is an example of them wanting to drift away from a cliche. They switch up the beginning and the end in an attempt to “stand out”, because who cares about developing relationships when you can just conclude it in the first episode, right? But guess what? It still doesn’t stand out! Because everything sandwiched in the middle is just generic Slice-of-Life without a point except for introducing side characters or showing off their failed attempts to make it “cute”.
This Slice-of-Life is pretty mediocre, to say the least. It relies on “cute” faces and textbook awkward situations to tick off time, and the jokes they make aren’t that funny. Caught sniffing someone else’s clothes? Freaking out about a girl sleeping next to you? Really? I mean, I guess if you like small penis jokes and guys freaking out about a girl sleeping next to him, then this may be a bit enjoyable. And how many times does a show have to reference internet culture? It seriously got annoying after the second episode and afterward I wondered if I should drop this show or not. A girl saying to another girl that their skin is “like an iPhone X?”? And who else loves “game-streaming Youtubers?” I swear this script was made by someone who comes home after work from the studio for dinner and has to listen to his 11-year-old son blab on about internet things. Except this time, he is taking extremely loose notes. It’s mostly hit-or-miss humor except with the accuracy of a stormtrooper. They also leave many things open-ended, to the point where you can’t tell if they are serious or it was just a joke, and it was infuriating to watch and wait until they explain it again. Along with all of this, there is a random “mystery” element to it, as there is no explanation or clear backstory with Tsukasa. With that, they don’t give any further explanation why she is around and brushes off that element like it doesn’t exist. The main reason people seem to enjoy this show is because it is cute. However, I fail to find what is so cute about the same repeated jokes, Nasa acting like an awkward loser most of the time, and the side characters being absolute airheads. This is easily a 1.
Sound
Music is decent. The OP music is fairly interesting, as it has the vibe of Youtuber’s opening from 5 years ago, not that it’s a good or bad thing. There are also some notable VAs in this anime, like Akari Kitou, Konomi Kohara, and Sumire Uesaka. Each one of them has had their own big roles and their talent made this show a bit more tolerable. The music and sounds throughout the show, however, is a problem. It uses the wrong sounds at the wrong time. It fails to find the right emotion for the scene multiple times. This wrong use of sounds is recurring and can be unsettling. The soundtracks are catchy, so I’ll give this a 3.
Art
The art in the background gives a tranquil feeling. Definitely one of the better things in the series. However, there are some backgrounds and color combos that look like they were made in Microsoft 3d builder. The character designs are also one of the worst things I’ve seen. I’m not sure how people believe that these designs are cute and all. It’s expected during the hard times currently, but I’ve seen hentais with better character design than this crap. Its oversaturated colors and creepy looking eyes with their simplistic face structure make it hard to look at the half-decent scenery that was before my eyes. I also hate the blushes on this anime. Everytime someone blushes in this anime, it is represented by a bunch of red lines lazily stroked across the face. This is neither aesthetic nor appealing, and it looks disgusting. 2.
Characters
Characters are another black spot in the series. We have Nasa, and he acts like a clueless 11 year old around Tsukasa, the girl he fawns over. He’s absolutely hopeless in his love life and it is cringeworthy to watch the moves he makes on Tsukasa. And his personality? A textbook hopeless loner nerd, except without the harem, but still perverted. This is somehow meant to be “relatable” to the audience. What else? Oh, he’s smart? And guess why? He’s named Nasa! He felt obliged to become smart because his name was Nasa, which happened to be the name of the American Space Agency. I’ve heard many stupid explanations from anime, but this takes the cake. So let’s say he actually gets his goal, studies hard, and becomes a billionaire. If I were to see a billionaire with a scientific discovery, I’d still be reminded if they have some weird name. Like Stephen Hawking, despite him making so many discoveries, in the end he’s known for being disabled. Another weird thing about this show is that even though they bother to add a smart personality, it is almost never projected throughout the show. I actually forgot about his “smart” personality 7 episodes in until I decided to look back at the first episode, which shows how subtle and unnecessary this trait was.
Now let’s look at Tsukasa, the most lazily written character. Her personality is quite questionable. She decides to save Nasa, a random guy at the moment, from getting hit by a truck and just survives. They don’t bother explaining why this happens until the very end. And like any other logical character, decides to marry this random person he saved 2 years later, because who cares about developing relationships when they can just skip to the end? There’s no effort put into developing her, either, as she still has no foreseeable characteristics or backstory. Oh yeah, let's make her underage, too. She’s 16 while Nasa’s 18, and they’re getting married… Cute, right? I get that Japan has a low age of consent, but that itself is messed up on its own. The intention for her existence is to give the perfect girl that the audience can suck-up to. Nasa and Tsukasa’s relationship goes nowhere as well, as after they get married in the first episode. The episodes after consist of either introducing side characters, Nasa fantasizing things to do with Tsukasa and failing, or doing “fiance” things like picking out a wedding ring, introducing each other’s families, and kissing.
The side characters are unappealing as well, just whiny and annoying characters that provide random moments of fanservice. Let’s look into each of these side characters. First, we have Kaname. Kaname is Nasa’s friend and doesn’t make fun of his name. Awww, wholesome. Her entire existence, however, is to provide more fanservice to the audience, as she cleans Nasa’s bath while he’s still in the bath and makes fun of his penis. Her presence is an inconvenience and makes the show more uncomfortable. There’s her big sister, Aya, too. The reason for her existence is to have a random onee-chan feeling to the show. Now we have a textbook pervert and a textbook onee-chan. Really. The parents are pretty boring as well in their little appearance. If anything, they are a nuisance to the screen as they are constantly loud and worrying and I just can’t stand them.
Now we can look at Tsukasa’s side of characters. There’s Chitose, the generic imouto/tsundere. She is the wannabe conflict in an episode, but after that, she’s just a whiny grudge that I despise every time she appears on the screen. And of course, they had to inject more generic themes, with her wanting to marry Tsukasa as well, adding an unnecessary yuri relationship that doesn’t even go anywhere. Another piece to glue into this mess. The maids in this show are really just there to be clueless and don’t have any meaning to them. All in all the side characters are a mess and uninteresting and exist only for the point of making the audience uncomfortable.
Overall the characters are either annoying and have no sense to them or they exist for giving unnecessary fanservice. 1.
Enjoyment
I wasn’t able to find enjoyment in this show. As stated before, it relies on awkward situations and fanservice to keep the audience engaged. The show doesn’t even know itself what it wants to be, as it switches between random moments of fanservice and wholesome moments. It’s hard to tell if they wanted Tonikaku to be cute or uncomfortable to watch. It made me uncomfortable how they run time off of the clock making sexual jokes or giving compilations of Nasa failing to develop the little relationship that he has. It relies on the exploitation of an otaku’s fantasy of a girl just coming up to their door and wanting to marry him, and him not being able to do anything with the relationship to entertain the audience. This is yet another 1.
TL;DR
Story - 1/10: SOL so it’s not expected of a plot, but the premise is just plain stupid and the SOL is unfunny and tries too hard to reach out to the younger generation.
Sound - 3/10: Pretty good OP/ED, but the song choices feel off during most scenes.
Art - 2/10: Half-decent background/scenery, but the character designs are creepy and the art is oversaturated.
Characters - 1/10: The characters either have no explanation or have tropes that aren’t used throughout the entire show. Side characters are inconvenient and give occasional fanservice as their purpose.
Enjoyment - 1/10: The show doesn’t know itself, as it either switches around from cute to lewd moments in random intervals. Uncomfortable to watch.
Overall
Tonikaku tried hard to be different, but it couldn’t. It had no potential to be something and yet it tried to be something else. I suffered through Tonikaku. It’s a bad show that relied on random “cute” moments and unfunny situations in order to keep the audience engaged. Tonikaku truly wanted to be something, but in the end, it was a cliche mess. A cliche mess with uncomfortable characters, unbearable sounds, and eye-killing artstyle, and I’m glad it’s over.

HEADS UP: This is a sequel to Full Moon Night. There are only slight cameos of some characters from the prequels, but it is recommended to watch the prequels so you aren’t confused in the beginning. This review will contain spoilers from the prequels.
Bunnywalker came with a pleasant surprise. I went into Full Moon Night thinking that this would be one of the more forgettable shows that I watch, but I may have run into a favorite of mine. The intervals of the closeups of the face and action were perfectly timed and the dialogue during the scenes made this a unique yet vanilla hentai
that I will come again for.
| SPOILERS MOVING FORWARD |
Plot
Full Moon Night Returns episode 1 follows Katsuma and the Tsukimi sisters, Maria and Juugoya. They go to the beach for relaxation, but more than that happens. Maria wants a reward for cooperating in stealing the full moon girl’s emblems, so they do it in the shower. One thing I like about this is that they are able to get into the action 2 minutes in with a plot already intact. They quickly gave us the plot to look at and then gave us the action we were waiting for, which is pretty easy when there has already been a prequel. After smashing Maria, Juugota wanted some too, so she gets some. One thing I really enjoyed about this is how gradual the scenes happen. When the scenes start, it starts off with more tame things like blowjobs or groping, and eventually the inevitable anal and moaning. This really is something that I look for, as I don’t typically enjoy the sudden hardcore action happening before my eyes but rather something more realistic. In the second episode, the queen is forced to pose in front of a camera, and in order to relieve her stress, they do it. Eventually, Katsuma is found inside of a hot spring, where a fox girl appears. This fox girl happens to be more powerful than Katsuma, so she is able to force him to do it. This is a nice change of pace as throughout the entire series, Katusma had been the dominant one. Afterward, Katsuma is able to get his powers back and he dominates the fox girl. This is a cliche found in hentai, and that’s not a bad thing. Bunnywalker knew how much time is needed for each scene and the amount of time needed in between for a break, which is why this is such a hidden gem. This gets an 8.
Art
Better than average, actually. It isn’t gritty or stiff, yet it gets the visuals just right. It gives out the shots of the action happening and their reactions at perfect intervals. However, there are visibly more shots of the action rather than their faces. With that, some of the shots of the action are really close-up and uncomfortable, which is not the greatest viewing experience. This doesn’t happen often, so there’s not a problem. Bunnywalker was able to pack in all of the positions possible in single scenes, and at the same time not make it feel rushed. This needs to be looked more at, and all that together deserves a 7.
Sounds
The dialogue is very good. You can clearly hear the girl’s reactions and thoughts. Despite them having a constant dialogue, the lines they say are fairly generic and can be heard in almost any other hentai. With that, the slimy clapping noises are suppressed, which gave a much more comfortable viewing experience. This part gets an 8 as it’s fairly on the better side of things when it comes to sounds and dialogue,
Characters
The characters have no visible development in the story, which is expected from hentai. Katsuma, the guy, is a tolerable character that absolutely dominates the girls in the series. Throughout the series, he has kept his persona and has been tolerable. Then there’s Mari and Juugota. They don’t really have any visible personalities throughout the OVA but they are definitely very lewd and something that the audience can fantasize about. In the second episode, there is the queen, who I have to admit, can get very annoying and arrogant which is unsettling to watch somewhat. Luckily, this personality doesn’t last too long, and then she turns into a textbook hentai girl. Overall, decent characters to look at but there is no personality. 7.
Enjoyment
This was very enjoyable. They give out a variety of positions and lines to fap to and it is something that I think is something that stands out from the rest. I’ve rewatched this over and over again I plan to rewatch this over and over again for a while. Some closeup shots are sort of an obstacle, but in the end, it’s fun to watch. 9.
Overall
Go to your closest hanime and watch it! This is very much worth your time and you won’t regret watching such memorable hentai. Recent hentai may have not been the best, but this one sheds some light on possibly some better ones in the future.

This is the final episode in the monopolistic and infamous trilogy that is the Pico series, And this one is probably the best. Pico x CoCo x Chico is a masterpiece that is not comprehensible to the casual eye, and one of the greatest to come out of the genre itself. Let's dive in.
|SPOILERS AHEAD|
Story
The story surrounds, of course, Pico and his friend, Chico. Pico notices a beautiful girl that suddenly dives off of the high dive. Pico meets the girl, who's named CoCo, and he and Chico go to her house. But suddenly, when Pico goes to check in on CoCo, he finds out
the CoCo is a guy! This has got to be one of the biggest plot twists I've seen in anime. There are rare times when I feel emotionally empowered while watching hentai, and this one probably did that emotion the most for me. Afterward comes a compilation of them doing it. The pacing was miraculous, as it quickly and consistently jumps through each scene and moment. This is deserving of a 10.
Art
Breathtaking aesthetics. When the entire town's power went out and panned to CoCo, I have never been exhilarated by such visuals since watching a Shinkai film. The amount of detail put into the copy and paste animation was immaculate and breathtaking. The character designs were amazing as well, as I have never been so aroused by looking at someone's penis. Each character was detailed and carefully put and that shows in the OVA. The exhilarating designs of each character and the scenes were stunning and out of this world sensational. I wish there was a new scale so that I could rate this an 11, but unfortunately, I have to give this an underperforming 10 as the scale doesn't go that high.
Sound
The sounds of moaning kids throughout the OVA was music to my ears. The music, as well as the OP, were both quickly put into my Spotify playlist as they are both pretty damn catchy. Whenever I see anything guy-on-guy now, I will forever think of this masterpiece. 10.
Character
Each character started with nothing and fully developed in the end. At first, Pico was a gay kid who enjoyed smashing his guy friend. But eventually, he questioned his sexuality when he saw a stunningly fantastic girl before his eyes. But he then found out the girl was a guy, and he was gay again. Whoever developed this character is a genius. This is something that I have never seen before in my life of hentai. A little kid going gay then considered being straight and then being gay again. The number of times that this development emotionally moved me is countless. Chico, unfortunately, did not get too much time in the spotlight due to having the spotlight panned onto Pico and his friend CoCo. CoCo, on the other hand, had a lot of development as well. He started off as an innocent little girl that the guys loved, but when it was revealed that CoCo was a guy, then they still loved each other. It is these heartwarming and genius character developments that keep me glued to the screen. Another 10.
Enjoyment
I enjoyed every second. I enjoyed the visuals that took my breath every time I looked at it. I enjoyed the sound and music. I enjoyed Pico's realizations and maturity growth. I enjoyed the storyline that left me with a post nut clarity and post-series depression. I enjoyed watching this and being so stunned that I threw up in a garbage can. It was amazing. 10.
Overall
Pico is a masterpiece. This is something that will never happen again and I am upset that it will never happen again. It is a genius piece of work that cannot be replicated, and it may just be for the best for this to sit on top of its throne.

I am known in my friend group for watching a lot of hentai. They always ask me for stuff to watch, and I'd always have the answer. When they ask what their first hentai should be, I show Overflow, as this is the most wholesome, vanilla, relaxing, and clean hentai I have seen.
Story
The story isn't a big deal here. The story follows a guy who smashes his two childhood friends, who are seemingly close to sisters. Hmmm... The scenarios are pretty vanilla and generic and the type of thing you would think of when it comes to random hentai scenarios. Each episode is a different
scenario of the action. Since there is nothing to see here, and in this genre, it isn't a big deal. I'd give this a 7.
Art
The art is very good. It is enough for the animation to be watchable, so that is enough. Character designs are questionable at times and are poorly animated. However, I think that the scene's animation is one of the greatest beginner scenes. They show little of that closeup and actiony uncomfortable hentai that only hardcore fans can watch and goes for a more subtle approach, showing little private parts and showing more of their reactions to it. Because of this, Overflow has gotten an R+ rating instead of an Rx. The backgrounds are simplistic and, like said before, I'm not here to look at animation, I'm here to see some action. This is deserving of an 8.
Sound
The voice actings are definitely on the better side of things when it comes to hentai. However, when the sisters get smashed, the sound is one of the greatest vanilla moments. You can clearly hear the girl's reactions to each position and movement and how they gradually feel more pleasured to the movement upon them. This may be a turnoff to more hardcore hentai fans, but this is definitely something for a beginner to take note of. This gets a 9 since it is not for all audiences.
Characters
There are only 3 characters: Kotone, Ayune, and Kazushi. Kazushi was made too overpowered and made it hard to watch. He is somehow able to pull out nearly perfectly each time he busts a nut. This is one of the most overpowered hentai characters I have ever seen. There are no times he ever accidentally busts one inside of a girl and he almost perfectly finds the proper position for smashing each time, and there is no explanation for it whatsoever. We can look at Ayune and Kotone, now. Ayane is a busty tsundere that is quite cheeky. She isn't fond of the smashing in the first place, but you can see her character change as the series goes on. She eventually becomes more submissive to the smashing that takes place and watching it on your own, you will notice the beauty of her development throughout the series. Next is Kotone. Kotone is a shy (and just as busty) girl. She enjoys every time she and Kazushi do it. Unfortunately, there is no character development for her, but that doesn't matter because repeat after me: It's hentai!
All in all the characters are not developed. The girls look good and the guy is bearable, but the overpowered tropes that he has gives this category a 7.
Enjoyment (Fappability)
This is one of the most fappable hentais that I have ever seen. I enjoyed every scene, every scenario, and every piece of dialogue. Each and every episode was fappable and the vanilla and wholesomeness made watching this an enjoyable experience. 10.
Overall
Overflow is a once in lifetime hentai. We have a wholesome show surrounding a guy with his two very good friends just having a good time. This is a feel-good, wholesome, and vanilla show that is not seen too common in the hentai genre so it's nice to get a fresh breath of air of that.
