It's been a little bit! Sorry!! Anyway,

NTR.. a phrase dreaded by most and yet also loved by many others, one that has divided the hentai community since its inception... and also what is now the most regurgitated genre in the modern hentai market! Today's review tackles one of these many generic NTR in the sea of hentai, Netoshisu!

The story:
Netoshisu is about a young boy who is horny and looks for porn, where he finds a girl that looks suspiciously like his sister. Despite this he ends up jerking off to them and cums. Later he finds his sister with some douchebag at the store and ... it all clicks.... get ready for this plot-twist.... IT IS HIS SISTER!!!! NO WAY!!

After that he continues to jerk off to her then she fucks him on the other dudes' orders and the little boy becomes a sex slave for some fat rich old dude or something, I don't know man the ending sucked. Did you think there was more? That's the whole show.

The art/animation:
Netoshisu is a 2021 Lune Pictures production released by their Antechinus label. The animation was handled by (as of right now in Japan) the 20-year-old studio T-Rex. It has all of the T-Rex trademarks such as fluid animation, and great character designs courtesy of Takato Suzuki. The direction meanwhile was handled by, as is usual with T-Rex, Raika Ken. Other than the slightly smudgy art quality in certain scenes it looks great.

Sound:
Stock music and some decent sound effects with good voice acting, so the standard affair for a modern hentai.

Overall:
Short, to the point, but also really shit because of that. 16 minutes isn't nearly enough to tell a story like this. The crispy T-Rex animation and Lune budget can't save this from being boring and poorly written either. Netoshisu successfully bored me and annoyed me to the point where I'm giving it a 2/10. Not worth the watch.

And for the next entry in the -saku series... Isaku: Respect! This is by far my least favourite in the franchise, let me get into why..

The story:
Isaku: Respect is essentially an alternative retelling of the original -saku series, but instead of being from Kenta's POV it's from Kotomi's. The story starts with her receiving a note, and going to the old, abandoned school building (like the original) and then Isaku locks them and starts picking them off one by one.

Now instead of going the route of the original and having a who done it impostor type of deal with who's working with Isaku we instead ... are gifted with a meathead Isaku who can't speak and just rapes people, he doesn't have helpers he's just a walking rape zombie.

After Isaku makes a few girls his sex slaves our original MC, Kenta, is tasked with saving them. Except it isn't really interesting and ends with him being held captive and getting his dick sucked.

It ends with Isaku having so much sex he falls asleep and doesn't wake up ever again, thus leaving the girls with trauma... and that's it, that's the entire show.

The art/animation:
Isaku: Respect was animated by the people who did the original Shusaku, Production D.M.H. Unlike the original Shusaku though, Isaku: Respect does not have glowing yellow dicks. The art in this entry is by far the worst in the entire franchise, and the animation is also not too great, it's just really mediocre man.

Sound:
The music was there I guess, but what really pissed me off is how Tsuji Shinpachi doesn't speak AT ALL for the entirety of this entry. What makes the -saku series so fun is hearing the Itou brother's voices as they torment, but in this one Isaku is a bumbling zombie and it really just isn't fun.

Overall:
Pink Pineapple struck gold with some of these -saku series entries, but this was not one of them. Isaku: Respect illustrates pretty much everything that's wrong with the series in one entry, but despite all of that I don't actually hate it. The pacing isn't awful, and it tries SOME stuff, I have to give it credit for that. Is there any reason to watch this? No, not really, it's a stain on the franchise. I'm reluctantly giving this one a 5/10.

Yet again continuing the -saku series... here's Shusaku Replay! A confusing mess that while enjoyable to watch isn't particularly well written, let me elaborate...

The story:
Starts where the last season ends off, except it doesn't and retcons the ending. This time around Shusaku is actually pretending to be the principal of the academy and takes advantage of the girls like that.

The highlight of the show is still the girls' interactions and the stuff that they do, while the actual writing of the show is rather mediocre.

Much like its predecessor, Shusaku utilizes blackmail sex as its main story component, which would be fine if they actually ... made Shusaku any more interesting. For some inexplicable reason Shusaku isn't voiced until episode 3, it's almost as if Tsuji Shinpachi just forgot to come in when they were dubbing it.

This entry yet again focuses on our returning protagonist, Eri Takabe, hunting Shusaku down and trying to help the other girls. At the climactic confrontation between our two battling foes, it's revealed Shusaku actually realizes he's part of a game, which probably made more sense in the visual novel but whatever, and that the entire story takes place on some random dudes' computer.

Definitely an odd ending to the series that I felt had potential but was rather poorly handled in the long run.

The art/animation:
Unlike the previous Shusaku season this one was NOT animated by Production D.M.H, instead the animation fell to ORADA COMPANY for episode 1 (mistakenly credited as ORADA CAMANY) and PP Project for the other three episodes. Because the character designer was Toshihide Masudate it ended up looking just as good as the previous season. Also, no more glowing yellow penis!

Sound:
Still extremely weird and it still doesn't fit with the theme of the show. Also, a -saku season without Tsuji Shinpachi's voice for two episodes really hurt, I sure hope they don't end up pulling that again!! *wink wink nudge nudge*

Overall:
Still not a bad watch but the ideas presented in here are quite poorly implemented and the pacing is still all over the place. The best part about this entry is the last episode by far as it features the most development Eri and Shusaku will ever get. Should you watch this? If you enjoyed Shusaku S1 and you want to be confused for 2 hours, sure! Other than that, probably not. All in all, I'd give this a solid 6/10.

Continuing the -saku series here is Shusaku! A slightly less good show than its predecessor. Let's get into why!

The story:
There's this music academy and a bunch of girls come to attend it in order to strengthen their music abilities. Inside this academy there's a janitor named Shusaku, he's an old fart who picks up information and uses it to blackmail and have sex with the girls at the academy.

Easily the strongest part of the show is the characters as the plot is rather lacking. There are funny moments, sad moments, and in general just enjoyable interactions between a bunch of the characters.

Unfortunately, even with ... that the show ends up being rather confusing at a few times, which definitely lowers my rating for it.

The protagonist, Eri Takabe, doesn't really have ample time to shine in this entry (she will in the later Shusaku seasons though) but I will say she helps end Shusaku's rampage in a rather satisfying way.

The art/animation:
Shusaku is an Elf game turned OVA by Pink Pineapple. The animation was handled by the little-known Production D.M.H and, to be honest, it really doesn't look bad. The character designs were done by Hiroya Iijima, who you may know for Afro fucking Samurai. Safe to say the art looks really good. Also, for whatever reason Shusaku's penis is glowing yellow, I don't know if this was for censoring or what, but it looks goofy as shit.

Sound:
Easily one of the weirdest soundtrack's I've ever heard in a show, it isn't bad but it does NOT fit at ALL with the circumstances. The voice acting on the other hand is good, which is nice.

Overall:
This genuinely wasn't a bad watch, but a lot of the show is confusing and/or terribly paced, which lowers the rating substantially. Shusaku isn't really a compelling villain in this first season, but he does get better in the coming seasons (foreshadowing!!!). Would I suggest this show? I mean if you like rape or fun characters yeah, other than that no. All in all, I'd give Shusaku a 6/10, enjoyable'ish but not brilliant.

So, I noticed I've pretty much only reviewed shows I dislike, and I wanted to change that so... here's Isaku!

The story:
There's a rumour in Kenta's high school that the creepy old janitor Isaku Itou raped Miyuki's sister, which left one of the buildings boarded up. Soon Kenta, his friends, and the girls get mysterious letters telling them to go to said boarded up building, which they then promptly do assuming it's a prank by Kenta. Slowly but surely girls and guys start disappearing and then sex tapes involving them make the rounds to the remaining girls and guys who stuck together.

It's essentially a kidnapping ... mystery where this fat ugly bastard kidnaps and then rapes one girl at a time.

One of the coolest things Isaku does is use Kenta's friends against him, basically tricking his best friend into being a rape accomplice, which ends up causing some pretty interesting conflicts between the remaining members of the cast.

The characters have fun moments, and all have at least a semblance of a personality, which is extremely rare for hentai and really makes this show shine. Some of the sex scenes dragged on for a little too long but in general the pacing was pretty good. The ending was a little dumb, it was good but I'm not sure if I'd be able to forgive my friend if he raped and ruined girl's lives because he was horny.

The art/animation:
Isaku is a Pink Pineapple production based on Elf's game of the same name from 1997. The animation was handled by "Triple X" which is a guise for Arms, known primarily for Elfen Lied. The show looks really good and the visual comedy in it works, all of that is helped by Hiroya Iijima's really cute character designs.

Sound:
The voice acting is all really good, but the music is rather generic. Most of it boils down to trying it's best to be suspenseful and it's extremely forgettable. Not bad but not really anything remarkable.

Overall:
I enjoyed the show despite the few flaws I outlined in this review and unless you really just dislike rape you'd probably enjoy the show too. It's got late 90's charm and it's an early Katsuma Kanazawa (R.I.P) work. Despite being a rather dark and demented tale Isaku manages to have fun moments and cool characters... which won't be the case in some of the other -saku series entry's (wink wink nudge nudge). Anyway, Isaku was fun, and I'll give it a solid 7/10. I'd say it's worth the watch!

"Misuzu: Ikenai Koto" is a steaming pile of garbage, let's get into why!

The story:
Misuzu: Ikenai Koto opens up with our main character, Misuzu, boarding a train with her boyfriend. Once on the train her boyfriend starts to fondle her, but they are soon separated from each other. Once separated some other random dudes molest her.

That's the entire plot, there's actually nothing else in the show it is that uninspired and terrible.

The art/animation:
Misuzu: Ikenai Koto is a show produced by MS Pictures "AniMan" brand who, on average, has pretty poor-quality productions. The animation for this shitfest was handled by Studio 9 MAiami and the show ... was directed by Itou Fumio. If you couldn't already guess this show looks awful. The animation is stiff and ugly, and the art looks terrible.

Sound:
Standard 9 MAiami, Fumio collaboration soundtrack (stock music). The VAs were decent though.

Overall:
It's terrible. This show brings virtually NOTHING to the table in terms of hentai, let alone even train hentai. It's another example of regurgitated garbage that the hentai industry loves to give us. More than anything though it just sucks to know that despite this being Fumio's first EVER directorial credit his style has not improved in the slightest since this. All in all I give this show a 2/10, definitely not worth watching.

A 3-month-old Pink Pineapple production with zero reviews that just got subtitled? Yeah, here we go!

The story:
Yamitsuki Pheromone is an adaptation of a manga, the manga in question is a bunch of one-shots compiled together. Because of this Yamitsuki Pheromone is multiple stories told across 2 episodes, and the first of which is about some unpopular kid getting into sensual situations with the hottest girl, trying to masturbate in the bathroom, being found by the most popular girl, and then having sex with her. The second story is about a not very well-behaved guy who really thinks the shy bookworm girl is cute. He confesses ... to her and she reveals that she's a pervert, which then leads to sex. Episode 2 starts with a story about a guy and his childhood friend who doesn't want him to leave her for a job that he gets, they then have sex. The second story is about a tall guy and short girl and the short girl invites him to a hotel on their date, which leads to sex. Pretty standard fair for hentai.

The art/animation:
Yamitsuki Pheromone is a Pink Pineapple production from this year (2021) and the animation was handled by studio Shion. The direction was handled by Toshihiro Watase, who is Shion's and BreakBottle's most prominent director. As for how the show looks... it's abysmal looking. The animation looks mediocre and sometimes the mouths of the characters don't even move when they talk. The art on the other hand is pretty good, it looks similar to the original manga by Herio, though I'm not sure who did the character designs.

Sound:
There is a surprising lack of music in this show, majority of the show is just sound effects and talking/moaning. The voice acting is pretty good though, I guess.

Overall:
It's just disappointing, some of the stories are actually really cute and fun, just the animation is abysmal and the stories last way too little. The show is mainly held back by the animation, which is very unfortunate. All in all I give this a 3/10, it's not the worst thing ever but it's by no means good.

Chizuru-chan Kaihatsu Nikki is a recent Lune production that has rocked the ero world in two separate ways, here are my thoughts on this brand new 6 episode OVA.

The story:
The show opens up with our MC, Chizuru Shiina, being mocked for being a teacher's pet. She has a crush on this hot teacher and decides to stand up for herself in the hallway against some mean (and poorly drawn) bullies. A fat ugly teacher attempts to stop her and the very handsome teacher grabs his arm. Now malding and horny the fat ugly bastard plants evidence of a crime in the hot teacher's desk and ... using this evidence he blackmails Chizuru into having sex with him. After forcing Chizuru through a few sexual act's episode 1 ends. In episode 2 the ugly bastard forces Chizuru through even more embarrassing sexual act's.. and that's it. In episode 3 even more wacky sexual acts ensue but this time the ugly bastard wins a horse racing bet, that's cool right? In episode 4 Chizuru is forced through more public sex, and that's it. In episode 5 we see Chizuru finally fed-up with the ugly bastards tormenting and she tries to confess her true feelings to the hot teacher and be finally liberated from the torture.. and then she finds out he has a girlfriend. Feeling betrayed she does.. what is somehow the norm in hentai.. and goes back to her tormentor because he's the only one who cares for her. On paper this doesn't sound bad and honestly is good but seeing as this is the ONLY development the character gets it really doesn't add all too much. In episode 6 we see Chizuru meeting Chii-chan from Chii-chan Kaihatsu Nikki and they both get fucked and accept their cum-dump status. That is 6 episodes summed up in one run-on paragraph.

The art/animation:
This is a Lune production under their Bunnywalker label that is animated by Studio T-Rex and directed by Raika Ken. The character designs were done by Suzuki Takato and look good, unfortunately the art itself is quite smudgy at parts and doesn't look good even in some major key-frames. As for the animation itself it looks great, as is custom from T-Rex shows. It is based off the doujinshi by Muchakai and it looks extremely similar, which is nice.

Sound:
Good voice acting for the most part and a cool intro sequence with cool sounds. Not much else to say on it other than the ending song is quite generic.

Overall:
Chizuru-chan Kaihatsu Nikki had the seeds planted to be a good blackmail show but unfortunately just doesn't utilize the characters beyond two episodes. Just a few more scenes of the characters interacting, and I'd probably have given it above a 5/10.

Oh Natsu ga Owaru made.. where have I seen such a pitiful show before? This is yet another generic blackmail hentai, let's get into why it doesn't work...

The story:
Natsu ga Owaru made starts with a fat ugly dude showing a girl pictures of her being naughty with her boyfriend, he then sets up a deal with her where he won't spread these pictures IF she has sex with him. Now I know this might sound far-fetched but guess what happens? If you said "she ends up preferring the fat teacher's dick to her own boyfriends" then you'd be right. The rest of the show is ... just her and the fat ugly bastard having sex with a few cool shots of the baseball field that her boyfriend plays on. Safe to say, it's generic and boring.

The art/animation:
Natsu ga Owaru made is a show produced by Showten and animated by studio BreakBottle. The director and character designer was Garyuu, and this is also their only directorial credit to date. Now you would think such a power team would helm good results but the show doesn't look all too good. The animation is choppy at times and the art is smudgy in some shots. I'm assuming this is because Garyuu isn't really a director and because of the whole covid situation that was very, very problematic at the time this show came out.

Sound:
All of the voice actors did a good job and the music is alright. It isn't really outstanding it's good though.

Overall:
This is an adaptation of Mon-Petit's 5 volume doujinshi of the same name and I'm not really too sure how it compares, though I can tell you this anime is very, very boring and not worth the watch. It's the same formulaic
1: Blackmail
2: Sex
3: "Wow I like this guy's ween more!"
story and it just isn't fun when you see it for the 4000th time. All in all I'll give it a 3/10, watch this if you like fat ugly dudes and mediocre animation!

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.
