In one of the opening scenes of this anime, a certain character welcomes the main character (along with the viewers) by saying "Welcome to the city watched over by aliens." After watching this I have come to realize one thing: how horribly distasteful these aliens are.

Seasoned anime fans will take notice of the fact that this show is directed by Shinbou Akiyuki. You might recognize him for directing great shows such as Bakemonomgatari, Arakawa Under the Bridge, and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, which all have a similar formula going on: a male character surrounded by a harem of weird quirky females. Considering how much of this ... type of show he has done, and the valuable attribute of the human mind to gain experience, one might expect him to have garnered enough knowledge to create enjoyable shows with absolutely no effort at all. Well, apparently, no. Either his brain has become too dense with all the success and praise from his previous works, or he just suffered a nervous breakdown to which he responded by making the most incoherent, dumb, and most boring anime he could possibly conjure. And that is Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko (Electromagnetic Wave Woman and Adolescent Man).

The story is the same old "Guy moves into a city" "New home has cute girls in it" "New school has cute girls in it" and so on. Oh, and the girls garner an inexplicable affection towards the main character. In the case of Denpa, a regular country bumpkin Niwa Makoto moves into the city to live at his aunt's house. Upon entering the house he notices a girl wrapped in a mattress lying near the doorway. This is how we are introduced to the show's main attraction, Touwa Erio, an amnesiac girl who believes she is an alien put on earth for observational purposes. The story then resolves around Makoto as he tries to help Erio overcome the barrier she has put up between herself and society. Of course, this is not a story-driven anime. You get the vibe that the makers didn't have any idea what they were doing and the story goes down the drain pretty quickly, as this is apparent half way into the show when all the characters are just loitering around trying awkwardly hard to get a giggle out of you. I'd gladly pay you if you find anything groundbreaking about this anime's plot.

The comedy in this show really throws everything at you, which at the base level boils down to a 'hit or miss' game where the chance of a hit is that of winning in a million dollar lottery. The so-called witty conversations between characters that SHAFT does so well literally falls apart here. There are tons of dialogue but they just go into one ear and come out of the other, rarely triggering anything along the way. How could anyone rely on a cast of such uninteresting characters to deliver good jokes is beyond me.

Animation is generally quite colorful and neat, but there's just something about the character designs that make them look overly childish, to the point that it's hard to call them "high schoolers". From an objective point, it felt to me like most of the work done in this department went into Erio's appearance and elaborate schemes to make her more cute, as she glaringly stands out among all the other bland characters that occupy this show. One of the few redeeming features of Denpa Onna is it's OP and ED. The OP sung by Erio's voice actor in an epic karaoke voice is quite fun and almost makes the rest of the show worthwhile. Maybe the unimpressive dialogue mentioned earlier might have been the cause of poor chemistry among voice actors because the voice acting here is decent at best.

Overall, I have to say that Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko fails in soaring through the sky, not to mention space. The first few episodes might keep you occupied with a false sense of more to come but what's to come is mind-numbing stupidity and a whole load of wasted of time.

I know it's not much use flaming hentai but, seriously, this deserves to be the lowest rated hentai on MAL.

I came across this when looking for a nice incest to watch, and thought it was a decent one. But I was in for a horrible surprise. It was worse than that fan-made narutoxsakura I watched some time ago.

When I watch hentai, I want my sex scenes to be well animated with as little recycled scenes as possible. But Stepmother's Sin managed to complete each sex scene with less than 8 frames. It's just a picture with the genital parts moving---like there's a magnifying glass over ... it or something. Some scenes look as if the makers just found some cardboard, drew characters on them, and just rubbed them against each other. I've seen manga that's better animated than this. And it tries to hide it's crappiness with it's dark atmosphere.

The voice actors were just as bad, if not worse. The step-mother character's VA was just so bad at making sex noises, and the only lines she says seems to be "No. Definitely no." which sounds very awkward and forced. The main guy character was a little better but he made me laugh so hard when he said "sex" "sex", and I was literally rofling when he said "I'm cumming!". This was the funniest thing i've heard in a long time. I don't remember this having any bgm except that lightning strike when the guy ejaculates.

This was a bad hentai. But I won't discourage people from watching this because they might realize just how well other hentai/anime are animated after watching this.
