These eroge adaptations are quite the surprise. The surprise being that they're supposed to be hentai OVAs, but you're not going to watch them for the hentai. No, you're going to watch them for their plot- no capitalization needed. They're quite "bizarre," and you'll certainly have an better experience if you're familiar with their source material. That's not to say that it'll be any easier to understand whatever is going on in these OVAs.

If you're looking for anime that deal with characters and their social problems in a realistic and serious manner, then look no further. The theme of escapism permeates these works, and the characters struggle with the world and people around them. Perhaps you may even relate to some of the problems they face. Whether that is the case or not, there is still a sublime message lying in both of these great titles.

These hentai OVAs are unique experiences, to say in the least. Their aesthetics are very comparable, with similarly poor art styles, simplistic coloring, and drawn out usage of repetitive frames that result in h-scenes being very static. Add that to "lackluster" stories and these are easily some of the most "impressionistic" hentai (and anime) that you will ever watch. However, it is certainly possible for them to also be the "best" hentai; if you're feeling masochistic, demented, or simply whimsical, then these may very well be some of the greatest things ever. Basically, their adult content is similar. The weirder of the two can be argued.

If you liked Buddha add

...then you might like Adolf ni Tsugu add

These are written by Osamu Tezuka and contain his trademark art and storytelling style. Both their stories are based on some historical background, and their narratives intertwine multiple plot lines together. Buddha can be considered a more elaborate version of Adolf that is greater in scope and thematic exploration.

If you liked Shiki add

...then you might like Another add

Both fall under the horror genre and give off similar vibes by establishing a slow-paced mystery in order to create suspense. Shiki focuses on character and buildup, while Another uses foreshadowing and atmosphere. Perhaps creepy at times, and shocking at others. Worthy of mentioning is that the writer for Another is the husband for the writer of Shiki. Truly, the greatest love story ever told.

If you liked Cencoroll add

...then you might like Kyousou Giga add

Both are short "movies" that grab the viewer's attention with an out of the ordinary and creative setting, leaving the potential for more. Both have interesting art and animation, though Kyousougiga's approach is colorful while Cencoroll's approach is surreal. Most importantly, both aim to leave the viewer in a confused state.
