Dokyuu Hentai HxEros

basically power rangers if their powers were based on how much they wanted to fuck. Pretty okay show. the dynamic between the main character and his love interest was sweet, and this is probably the first ecchi psuedo-harem anime I've seen where the main character isn't a depraved sex beast. although im drawing from a limited source of knowledge. All in all m pretty okay watch if you just need something to put on while ur bored. this is all I have to say but this site has a 500 word minimum for whatever the fuck reason so, im just gonna keep typing shit untilI reach that I guess.

Let me ask you a question. While watching a trashy harem show, do you ever think, "Man, this is absolutely garbage, but I still fucking love it!"? Wait, you actually do? Then Dokyuu Hentai HxEros is a show especially made for you. If the "Hentai" part of the title didn't make it obvious, Dokyuu Hentai HxEros is your typical trashy harem anime which is filled with an absurd amount of fanservice and has a plot that's more questionable than that of a lot of hentai. And no, I'm not exaggerating a single thing. Pretty much everything about HxEros is unbelievably ridiculous, but I just can't seemto bring myself to hate it. [Story] An unknown type of alien called "Censor Bug", unbeknownst to most humans, invades Earth and starts plundering their erotic energy in an attempt to make them extinct. As a part of the Saitama branch of HxEros, a group of teenagers "gifted with a special ability", our protagonist Retto Enjou, his childhood friend Kirara Hoshino, and 3 other highschool girls fight against the censor bugs in order to rescue mankind from their hands. So, what is this "special ability" exactly? The "special ability" that HxEros possess is their extraordinary eroticism, that they use to destroy the censor bugs (somehow their own clothing as well) by converting it to "H-energy" using certain devices. Dokyuu Hentai HxEros follows the members of HxEros' Saitama branch as they use their "H-energy" to stop the censor bugs from stealing mankind's "H-energy". It sounds extremely ridiculous, doesn't it? Yes, the plot of Dokyuu Hentai HxEros certainly sounds ridiculous, and IS ridiculous. As I said before, most hentai have less questionable plots than this show. However, I don't think that it's entirely meritless. As weird and ludicrous as it may seem, I think that the plot of the show is actually somewhat "unique" and "creative". No matter how absurd it ultimately turns out to be, it actually tries to be innovative with its plot, which deserves some praise in my opinion. Some of the situations that our "HxEros" fall into are actually funny, let it be intentional or unintentional. I know there are a multitude of holes as well (like, why is everyone depending on a bunch of horny teenagers and not taking any actions themselves?), but who cares about that? [Animation] HxEro's artstyle is pretty decent. The character designs look aesthetic. However, when we come to the actual visuals, there are some big issues.... First of all, I don't know why Project No. 9 thought it was a great idea to make the censors so large that one censor covers almost half of the screen, but it certainly isn't very pleasant to my eyes. Rather, these huge and unnecessary censors became really annoying very quickly, for more than one reason. The second major issue with the animation is that it becomes very inconsistent at times. It's decent for the first few episodes of the show, but it noticeably becomes a lot duller in the later episodes and starts degrading bit by bit. [Sound] The soundtrack of HxEros is fairly mediocre. Almost all the background tracks are forgettable. The opening song sung by BURNOUT SYNDROMES (that's how they write their name) is kinda funny for how ridiculous it is, and although many people weren't a big fan of the ending song, I don't think that it's bad. Overall, the soundtrack is average at best. The voice acting, on the other hand, is actually amazing. I was very surprised to see such high quality voice acting in an anime of this caliber. Almost all the voice actors did a great job at voicing their respective characters. Suffice to say, the voice acting is easily the best aspect of the show. [Character] If I had to sum up the characters of Dokyuu Hentai HxEros in just one sentence, it would be this: They are all as dull as dishwater. Almost every character can be described by using a certain stereotype. Retto is your typical dense harem protagonist who continuously falls into perverted situation with several girls, and Kirara is your typical tsundere heroine who loves the protagonist but somehow hasn't become aware of her feelings yet. The same applies to other characters as well. Despite being extremely generic, however, they aren't really unlikeable. Especially Retto and Kirara are loveable and look very adorable together. Although their backstory is questionable to say the least, their interactions are pretty heartwarming. And unlike most other harem protagonists, Retto is actually aware of her feelings towards Kirara and determined to ask her out when the time comes, which is a bit refreshing to me. I definitely won't give the characters a high rating, though. While it's true that they are likeable, most of them don't receive any proper development throughout the entire series. Besides Retto and Kirara, nobody is given proper focus (unless you count their so poorly present backstories). Especially the side characters suffer the most from this problem. I would have liked to learn more about Tokyo branch members and some of the other characters since they appear only for a short amount of time. Giving them more screen time would have made the show more enjoyable. [Enjoyment] As absurd and brainless as Dokyuu Hentai HxEros is, I kinda enjoyed it to be honest. It managed to keep me somewhat entertained for almost the entirety of its runtime even with many, many glaring issues and absolute ridiculousness. Well, that probably only shows how garbage my taste is. [Overall] So, would I recommend watching Dokyuu Hentai HxEros to anyone? The answer is absolutely a no. Everything about the anime, excluding the voice acting, is extremely ridiculous and not so well-made. There are times when the show can become straight-up nonsensical and even cringe-inducing. So, if you are looking for a show with a compelling plot and remarkable characters, you should, without any kind of doubt, avoid Dokyuu Hentai HxEros. However, if you are someone like me who occasionally enjoys watching trashy ecchi and harem shows for no reason whatsoever, this might be something you would enjoy watching. I didn't find the show as "good" as To LOVE-Ru Darkness (I apologize for the random comparison) for a number of reasons, but I found it pretty entertaining nonetheless.

"Protect your love to the very end, no matter from which Hero WOAH OH! H×EROS...Wake Up HERO!" This is the opening verse for this show's OP by the talented BURNOUT SYNDROMES (just called HXEROS SYNDROMES feat. Kirito's VA just because), and I'd guess for anyone who has watched Dokyuu Hentai HxEros, this is the epitome of Power Rangers / Super Sentai that's full-on ecchi crack to the max. AND I LOVE IT, silliness and all. "Someone once said, Hero is written with the words H and Ero." With the power of donned accessories and a hero suit to match, danger is no match for the HxEros team of oneconceited simp and 4 girls to match against their enemy: the Kiseichuu (or censor bugs) who are on constant stealing of ordinary humans' H-energy to rob them of their soul. So who are the Super Sentai crew of chosen humans to fend Earth from the Kiseichuu? Well, you've come to the right place. The number 5, which is the standard number of members in EVERY iteration of the Power Rangers / Super Sentai is great on its own, and HxEros is no different. Their names are: the simp-but-not-so-simp Enjou Retto, the childhood friend of the simp Hoshino Kirara, the busty Shirayuki Maihime, the flat Momozono Momoka and the childlike Sora Tenkuuji. All the girls obviously have different powers to match, but it's through the "sexual tensions" of Retto that enable them to defeat the censor bugs, no matter how small nor big the creature can go. Particularly, clue in between Enjou Retto and Hoshino Kirara, because they get the most screentime due to their childhood circumstances that made them into the HxEros figure that they're best known for. Y'all see, Kirara had a disorder that essentially turned her into an ice princess, but the reason why is of the past between young Retto and Kirara, where one censor bug tolled away Kirara's emotions of love, and Retto could do nothing about it to defend his first love against the whims of the censor bug. And that sparked his resolution within him to eradicate all censor bugs by joining the HxEros defense force, and with the wristwatch accessory to band together similar users' erotic energy, protect ordinary citizens H-energy, which is the source of love. So, an essentially ecchi-fied Super Sentai, that's all fine by me. What is the elephant in the room is with the overly cliché characters that unfortunately each don't have unique identities that they can stand out with (well, except their body figures), and not just the Saitama Branch of Retto's alone, but other girls from other branches (Tokyo Branch with Moena Wakamusa and Shiko Murasame) as well, to which by that very point, I don't really care who's who, so as long as Retto keeps having heavily-censored fanservice, at least that's a point to fap with. Oh wait, I've missed out the Kiseichuu-abandoned shape-shifting queen Chacha, and the very ecchi dog Runba? Nah, gender bending at its best. But one thing's for sure...the harem KEEPS GROWING. Speaking of heavy censoring, it's a shame that Project No. 9's chief director Masato Jinbo chooses to adapt works that are trash and don't really carve out its unique stand-out identities. There's one common thing though: overly generic, tried-and-true stories that we've seen one too many over the vast distance of anime over the years which have overall better execution. Coupled together with the very stiff animation and viscously lacking art that is underwhelming (when compared to the full-on nudity of the manga), the fact that borderline-hentai ecchi series are being heavily censored is always a NO-NO, even if it's a marketing gimmick to sell more Blu-Ray DVDs in order to release an uncensored version of the show, as an accomplishment of sorts. And going back to the sound, at first when I've heard that BURNOUT SYNDROMES was gonna do a song for this show, I immediately hated it with a flaming passion. I mean come on, is this the same band that gave us one of their best songs (which is Dr. Stone's "Good Morning World!")? But overtime, I've learned to accept that nothing is perfect, and this OP is passable at best. While I can like the OP, the ED is the one that I don't like, simply put: a poorly composed song that doesn't sound good either. Overall, to put in perspective of similar shows done before with varying degrees of success (Masou Gakuen HxH, Val X Love), this show can join those in the same pack of mindless ecchi battle action that doesn't make sense the more the plot takes shape. I do love shitty shows that at least have some potential within them, but for HxEros? There's none to be had here, sad to say. "Again and Again, stand up HEROES!" NO MORE.
