Story

Society means well as a whole but in doing so can lead to unintended harm for a lot of people, especially on the idea of love. There are a lot of issues: money, divorces, lies and other forms of evil/unfortunate acts. Sad to say some of this could have been resolved with incest. Don't get me wrong i am not condoning the idea of it. Mainly because of the science impact that shows how it leads to problematic children like down syndrome or a missing/extra/damaged appendage. But to live with someone like family for a long time it is not odd to ... form an attachment of sort. The characters expressed in this anime show no evil intent in their desire for each other. Mainly just kindness and concern is expressed. Yet, deep down we can't. Which is sad for we force a wedge in those we care about. For what exactly do we get return? Chance of true love somewhere else true but we also leave our self vulnerable to those we haven't lived with(complete strangers).

Introduction and conclusion were nice but there was nothing really impacting. Plot topic is that of a taboo but admirable for its courage to talk about it rather than learning nothing by leaving it in the dark.

Characters actions were beautifully captured. Especially that of the main male. For it was clear by the amount of innocence that figuratively dripped from him reeked of innocence. Which means a lot in comparison to if he had evil intentions. Had that been the case why are we good citizens watching this? If you are a believer like i am that when you put something out there like on the web it is a virus. People can easily catch it and spread it. But to put something evil out there chances are high it can grow for sick people can learn from it.

Overall, i like to thank you for baring with me on a hard topic. I mean well. If i were to say what was the purpose of this anime was to bring comfort to those who lost it.

Story
Wasn't unique. Similar to a lot of movies like come home lassie. Granted lassie is basically the opposite but seeing how plot for this anime wasn't thick lead to many similarities in other shows/movies.

Conclusion was what one would expect but sadly due to light plot/character investment wasn't emotionally invoking. Also, could have ended a tad earlier. What went on shortly after was some comfort but had it ended earlier one could have safely assumed.

Art
I appreciated the somewhat lack luster on violence. Real enough but not to the point of grossing one out.

Audio
Wasn't great for sounded scripted due to slow vocalization.

Warning:(potential nausea inducing) has a somewhat v.r. outlook to it. For those not familiar with that technology imagine a person who had a few alcoholic beverages or ridding on boat with bumpy waves.

Story
Plot idea wasn't original but there was a lot of bang for your buck. As for the conclusion it was a nice touch again on a lot of content but mainly the comical spin.

Art
-Idea of a floral pattern for scope/background was a moderate idea on a scale of good and bad. While it boosted the romance aspect there were flaws. One being ruined view of naughty action/blocked sight. Another was ... duration, never seemed to fade away when you wanted it to(lasted a long time, may have covered 60 percent or more of the show as a whole. Lastly, it would better be used strictly or for the most part in the dream sequences. Doing so making it clear it is somewhat dreaming, distinguishes reality from dream and boosts some element of charm. Luckily, there was some change to the pattern in episode from flowers to what looked like looking through a screen door. Can't say i have a favorite but at least it changed. Episode 2 for those that are wondering wasn't as affected.

-transitions did quite a few jumps. First we are here and now we are here. Please, slow progression. I beg of you.

-Characters at least looked the part(matched the title's name) moreover than season 2 did.

-A lot more content havens per picture than just a romantic encounter with two people.

-Could have done without the v.r. perspective. I loved the anime but that kind of visual was making me dizzy.

Story
Bland with nothing really spicy. Perhaps it is because i have seen a lot and to a rookie this would seem decent but too many opportunities missed. For example a threesome or the use of toys. Not to neglect to mention plot concept is not original. Yes, the love of the little sister. Or otherwise potentially know as incest. Let's face it, that is a popular tag for a lot of things like stories. Lastly, character's actions are rather bizarre. For example, a simple unintended action let to a rather provoking site. Embarrassed to some regard the individual responded with a never ... again kind of remark later on. Shortly on after she indicates it herself? What? Before you start with personality choice of no means yes kind of thing, she isn't that type.

As for the ending like the plot nothing fancy but mere basics of one might expect.

Art
Transition were a bit annoying. Almost as if there additional context but was cut out due to some reason. Which can be see for example if i talked about politics and the next thing I mention puppies dancing. Not smooth at all.

On a more happier note characters looked great.

p.s. (to my nitpicks/early viewers)
Yes, i went ahead and completed this anime before the original. I plan on fixing that mistake. I accidentally finished the first episode only to realize by episode duration i was watching the wrong one, not season 1's.

Art film/Dementia piece

Story
There was no scripted story. More a series or random events. However, each event was telling a story in a picture is worth a thousand words kind of fashion. One sees a mini animation and can break down its meaning.

Art
Personally i don't think there is much intellectual thought imputed into this piece. I get it is from a child's perspective on art but what is one suppose to get from that? Same art is generally there it is just done in a slightly comical fashion. Although the gags seemed to overexert thus making animation not funny.

I also think the idea of ... going with the same backdrop(wood outlook) isn't spectacular. If the art work is about a kid don't you think kids in general would get bored looking at the same layout? I get the idea that a wooden fashion is almost like saying arts building blocks but why not change the color every now and then?

Sound
Sound input of non vocals like grunts weren't up to par. For example depending on the noise most felt like they should have been boosted slightly more for being too faint. Also, the idea of having music on one side and non vocals on the other was annoying.

Art film
Warning: there is a moment of blood and gunfire/death. While it is somewhat cartoonist I am not sure all ages in a right fit.

Story
-Introduction took its sweet time loading in. A bit too long for me (roughly half a minute)
-no plot, mainly random bizarre events.
-introduction wasn’t something worthwhile. In fact it was sad. No, it didn’t draw an emotional buildup but I feel sorry that the artist wanted to go in such bleak fashion. To me it stated the artist was forced to make this for whatever reason and was glad it was done.

Art
-art was at least in the lines. Good for ... those that are somewhat perfectionists.
-art isn’t always new. Fair amount of moments of recycled art.
-lacks in character emotion.
-at least production has color. While color isn’t what one may expect for elements used understand this is not a regular anime but one made long ago during testing phases (a grandfather anime for color)

Sound
-effects didn’t always make sense

Story/art
There are two main male characters portrayed in this anime. First one doesn't connect fully with main female character. Thus the idea of starting the show in a passer-by fashion rather than a narration makes sense. Even though at first glance the art seems a tad copy and pasted to start.

Plot, through a somewhat non-direct comedy level depicts bizarre parings in a truthful comical fashion. A normal paring for example would be a student with student.

Conclusion was not what i wanted but at the same time fitting. If you are looking for ecchi this is more of a tease if anything. If ... you are for a comedy approach you won't be disappointed. The typed words at the end not only referenced title(which was appropriate) but you get the sense even the writer questions the reasoning for the ending. Which by itself is amusing.

Censorship here is strange like the anime's name. Sometimes it is blatant with a sticker but in other times it will go with the heavy darkened approached but allow non sexual organs like a strap-on to be somewhat visible.

P.s.
Cover-shot image is a marketing sell. Yes, its from the movie but not how one might think it fits in. Although, while paring is somewhat untrue the story's underlining message of strange love is best portrayed with an image like that. Even though it is lying to the viewers it tells the truth.

Story
-Plot is jumbled. Your not talking about one story's adventure but mini separate stories.
-Introduction was quick and to the point.
-Humor used was in a way bizarre. Thus takes a few episodes to grasp it.
-conclusion wasn't disappointing nor great for like i said mini stories. With mini stories it is great to keep you interested for its like buying several anime in a bundle but there is no big suspense to look forward to.
-credit endings were almost always different. Which beats having to look at the same thing.
-endings or sum-ups of jokes were in a way predictable thus ruined some of the comedy.
...
Art
-artwork had real images. Plus some artwork/animation looked second rate. Not the best or worst artwork around.
-camera angels went all over the place. With bizarre zoom-ins, zoom-outs, as well transitioning segments.
-there was clear recycling of art/animation in some moments.
-using real images in anime wasn't a good call.
-for some of the artwork they used stick figure pieces which lack in appearance/animation.

Story
Plot idea revolves around life and death escapes with an ecchi twist. An original plot concept. Plot also is rather extreme in order not to have the viewer become rather fixated on naughty bits, good choice. Plots didn't always go in a present to future fashion. Makes sense from a marketing point on danger can be a good sell plus makes the viewer think.

Conclusion not what one might imagine but at the same time subliminally gave room for a possible sequel on the premise of a troublesome pet.

Character
no individual character background but given plot i don't think it was needed.
...
p.s.
Marketing job wasn't excellent for English natives. Cover-shot image could represent dangerous mentions(not sure on Japanese language) but they would have been better off showing brief situations or predicaments the character faces than words/cast shot.

Story
If you can look past the animal cruelty with is kind of hard to do, this make for an interesting show. I like the English language because it has a lot of play on words. That is precisely what this focus here; Except not English but Japanese. Jokes were funny to some regard but were frankly over done and kind of silly. Silly due to childlike humor and veered left when it clearly was going right seconds before in a matter of speaking.

Ecchi is perhaps a reason one would watch this. Sadly i have to ... disagree with this choice to some regard. Yes, there is a lot of vulgar humor but art wise could be better. To some regard sex scenes look almost amateur in appearance.

The decision to have a small segment of (i think) episode 13 pay tribute to episodes that came before was an interesting touch. But should not have been followed by an introduction. For as it was structured kind of seemed rather length before one got to good content.

Conclusion wasn't what i had wanted but from a comical stand point it was.

Art
There were other flaws in art such as balance. Constant back and forth between dream like art and smoother artwork. Also, are the characters having noses or are they not?
