On the surface 'Maki-chan to Nau' appears to be a realisation of every straight man's fantasy about the girl next door that would hop on their dick every single day like a crazed lioness in heat for no reason whatsoever. In reality though it's a two way street, as it also caters to a nympho's fantasy about being discovered and violated by said man in ways that would make a pornography major want to rethink his life.
The story is fairly standard for a hentai flick. We have our protagonist Seiichi Sakonji, a young man with a lifelong dry spell who, for some reason, wears the same fucking shirt every single day. One evening while on his apartment's balcony Seiichi is drawn to the sounds of a woman servicing herself and cant help but to investigate the issue further. Enter the heroine, Maki Sanjou. The two immediately bond in an anticlimactic and eerie manner, as if you were watching two soda dispensers come to life and try to hug each other.
The sex scenes in 'Maki-chan to Nau' are mostly risqué in nature. Expect lots of balcony performances, train shenanigans, voyeurism, BDSM etc. There's definitively something for every hentai connoisseur here. The second half of the series also conveniently adds another female character in case anyone was starting to get bored after the first 2 episodes.
While the animation and sex scenes themselves were good, one problem I have with this Hentai is that everything happens too easily. There's no conflict, no effort required on the part of the male lead, no build up to any sexual encounter at all and no attention to detail. I like my porn refined and with a bit of a back story, fuck even the old pizza delivery guy routine will do. 'Maki-chan to Nau' just doesn't have that, there's no emotion here, instead it just goes straight for the climax.
The sound department is a mixed bag. Voice acting itself is decent but the sound effects leave much room for improvement. For the record, sex doesn't sound like a Tesco employee handling jugs of milk. You also get your standard porny music that you might as well have heard in some elevator or a McDonald's commercial.
The animation on the other hand is top notch. Really crisp and detailed. This is where, naturally, the studio focused the most.
All in all, the story is lacking, animation is brilliant and sound, while not a disaster, could be vastly improved upon. Then again, this is porn and if you're here exclusively for the sex (No shit?) then you'll still enjoy it.
