I have (just) watched the new entry of this series - (Episode 04) RAW - and I must say that this is well done.
The end sub version has yet to be released, as I am awaiting that, though (I assume) will take its time for some reason, as before with Episode 03.
I can't say too much as I don't know if the series will continue forwards or not...
So, without repeating myself too much, the same results are seen in this new entry as before with the past entries. (so no need to repeat myself on the artwork, sounds, etc)
~ what I did notice and have found:
** PoRo has placed new positional scenes and new visual angles to one eye, if anyone pays attention.
** The characters are placed - deeper - into the world pd debauchery and betrayal.
** New characters are presented, as well as a black character - (who is seen in the game) - Many have stated that this is a first for PoRo, but if memory serves me right, they've been present before with another PoRo/collaborative earlier release.
** The Characters (as in usual PoRo standard) still wear clothing while having sexual encounters.
** I have also noted that (some) of the pixilation is starting to be less noticeable in PoRo releases.
** I finally found the Seiyuu for Atsuko and I placed a request for her to be added to the Seiyuu list, as she deserves it for her range of work for (both) anime and Hentai.
To my surprise, she had done the voice of - Yurippe - from Angel Beats (however) she uses a different name credit as the Seiyuu, but, it is her.
If your continuing to follow this series from PoRo, then don't miss this new entry, you shan't be disappointed.
[UPDATE] - 0230hrs-12.02.14
I have just re-watched the eng sub version of this episode once again using a current Sub_group... episode 03, so I am editing this previous review.
This episode is kind of difficult to discuss, due to all the spoilers that it contains - however - the storyline (appears) to be a - "mixture prelude" - to the events that occurred in episode 01, yet the only event that is in question is the - 'virginity scene' - event. - I need to re-watch episode 01 and 03, it to be very certain.
Many of the questions that were present and unanswered in episode 01 are fully explained in this episode.
I will write a [UPDATED] continuation review of episode 03, more in depth (without) adding any spoilers, after re-watching the previous episodes.
Artwork -
¬ This has been improved greatly and is sharp and clean. - continuity is better in episode 03 than in the previous episodes.
¬ The locations are as they're represented in the game by Syrup.
Sex scenes -
¬ I can say, that the vanilla sex scenes are upgraded, the sounds are increased and more prominent than before.
Sound -
¬ The sound is more pronounced than before - however - it seems that the PoRO always has a habit of introducing new sounds with each release. - imo - it seems that they're always experimenting with new sounds.
As an example - without giving away anything - when Atsuko goes on her knees, its different this time round versus how it was heard in episode 01. - this maybe due to the area she is in, but it did sound - "different".
Music -
¬ In terms of the music, new musical pieces are heard in the background. (however) they have been heard in other Hentai releases - in case of one scene, it added dramatically to the scene taking place.
Again, PoRO has a habit of doing this in their releases.
Storyline -
¬ The storyline is heading in the right direction as in the game (as I mentioned below).
¬ Now whether it will continue to follow in - "that direction" - is still unknown, episode 04 will have to answer that.
¬ I am suspecting that several more (possible) episodes will follow - as this is just my personal opinion - as newer characters have been added to this game series to which (each) have there place in the storyline.
¬ This is a good direction, as it harkens back to the good old days of Hentai when episodes continued with an actual story and like anime episodes, one looks forward to seeing what will happen next time. - though in the case of Hentai, it takes months (instead of) weekly.
¬ Its been mentioned that they're - "milking" - this series, but who cares, its damned good. - so watch it and make your own decision.
Characters -
¬ Atsuko and her sister return once again and they look somewhat better... though this episode concentrates more on Atsuko more as in episode 01.
¬ Kenji makes a very brief appearance..
¬ New characters have made there presence known in episode 03 and more have been mentioned that are unseen. - hence the reason for the continuation into episode 04.
¬ I'll stop here for now, and will add more - after - I have re-watched the previous episodes.
================
Greetings ~
¬ As far as this Hentai goes, its one of my all time favourites.. as was stated from a earlier review... for some unknown reasons, its hits the right cords, draws one attention, and is a very under rated Hentai...imo. - granted, its NOT for everyone, but for me, its great!
¬ I shan't repeat what the previous review stated about this Hentai, it was spot on, so much so, that I don't have anything to add to it, but since this is a review, I shall add a few additional tidbits.
Story ~
¬ PoRo, the usual storyline of deceit, blackmail, and taking advantage of the main heroines naive personality, however, its only borderline, as they are smart.
Art ~
¬ The art is good and was clean, bright, and made the characters likeable. - however, it seems that the artwork was rushed somewhat in episode 2 of this series, which concentrated on Atsuko's younger sister. - its rather obvious that it was rushed.
Sound ~
¬ The sound was spot on, and for the situation very well, to the scenes where Atsuko is violated, added a sense of wanting to reach through the screen to rescue her from the clutches of Kenji and keeping her to oneself.
¬ The - "sex sounds" - are there, just muted somewhat, and that adds to the deviancy of it all.
¬ You don't hear the slapping of flesh being pounded, rather the erotic expulsion of semen, as it enters the vaginal orifice or after the forced oral is completed, once ejaculation occurs.
¬ the scene in which Atsuko is forced to give oral to Kenji and Kenji ejaculates is usual, however, the release of her mouth after such action, comes complete with a slight - *popping* - sound after she completed her forced swallowing. - its theese subtle sounds that make this an very interesting hentai to watch.
¬ Even the subtle sound effects of the swooshing of fabric, the bed being laid upon, to the background sounds were excellent and are made to be appreciated..
¬ Voice acting was great, especially concerning the female leads voice, that I want to find out - who the seiyuu is for the lead female character, she's that good that I have taken interest. so that I could follow her other work that she has done.
Character ~
¬ I could write an entire section concerning the main character, but, I will not do that. - however - Atsuko, her design was perfect.
¬ From her clothing, white hair bow, yellow side-bow, down to her long legs, to her body composition and structure was all enjoyable, erotic, sensual, that it she was pleasing to the eyes, and was not overly done, as is usual for Hentai to do at times, which focuses on the oppai, which are large.
¬ The first set of clothing she wore was simple, a classic white shirt, blue sidelit mini-skirt and black pantihose. - this simple clothing was erotic in itself and quite a departure for the usual clothing set-up which is constant in a hentai. - however her second/third clothing that she is forced to wear, is actually a fantasy that kenji wanted to see worn, as it was a eroge character's magical seifuku that is mentioned within the the game (however) not in the hentai.
Enjoyment ~
¬ This is a (very) underrated, under appreciated hentai and should be watched for what it is - "a hidden jewel of Hentai" - which is profoundly erotic, sensual and very pleasing. - don't judge this hentai by it cover or by the negative reviews, watch it and make your own decision on it worth.
Overall ~
¬ Love it, and I wouldn't mind obtaining a BD copy of this excellent, sensual, erotic hentai... even uncensored (if possible) and that it included a lot of extras as well.
On a personal note: I WILL SAY THIS THOUGH...
¬ I am now a Takagi Atsuko fanboy! - I really like this character, and for some (unknown) reason I find her appealing in all respects. - I have collection of images and sound bites, that would do a collector proud. - After watching the Hentai, I looked into the game aspect of it...
¬ The game, concentrates on each of the characters separately, so being a Atsuko fanboy, I just remained with her storyline and I was not disappointed.
¬ The storyline is more complex, more of a rapefest, which starts off as the first installment shows within the Hentai, with slight variances, but remains the same. - However the scenes become more and more intense with each scene (then) it takes a different turn.
¬ Each character, Kenji, the dad, principal, and other male students, each take their turn with Atsuko, in which there is no longer any hope for her (or her sister). - that they become the complete blackmail victim(s). - in essence becoming - "trapped".
¬ The game also delves into the tentacle-phantastic... and glory-holes deviancy.
¬ After playing the game, I also decided to find more about it and found that there's additional books, images, which are available after doing a complete and thorough search. - so I gather up all that I could find, like dakimakura, mobile phone cards, light novels, books, (all Atsuko related) of course.
¬ Like the Hentai, the game has excellent quality played about, the images which of course, are standard type for the usual Hentai-game of this genre, which is text type and you just follow the predetermined storyline choices, which has some (choices), but they usually follow through in terms of either (early ejaculation) or (continued assaults) on the female characters.
Last words ~
¬ I would recommend this Hentai, to those who can appreciate a difference in a Hentai from the usual standard fair that is brought forth.
