Sex Friend Osananajimi: Shojo to Doutei wa Hazukashii tte Minna ga Iu kara - The Animation

I'll be honest, 2020 has been more than a disappointing year for hentai. The lineup of brand new hentai we have got for the past few months is pathetic. Around every corner now there seems to be nothing but horrid NTR and Rape genre and hentai that have no substance whatsoever. There were some series that were getting sequels/spinoffs (Tonari no Ie no Anette-san and Tenioha! 2: Limit Over), but it seems 2020 cannot even give the hentai community a break. I as a reviewer was sick of... well reviewing. I do review old series but I enjoy giving my outlook on the new seriesthat come out. But I was fucking sick of it. I really lost all drive to review due to the fact that I was losing hope on giving a series this year a 7/10. Yes a 7 out of fucking 10 was, AKA meaning baseline just "good". I was not able to give that to anything I viewed thus far this year. That is until I saw: "Sex Friend Osananajimi: Shojo to Doutei wa Hazukashii tte Minna ga Iu kara - The Animation", which... is infact what this review is about (go figure)! Apologies for the long and overdramtic intro, yah boi AnimeGrin245 is back and ready to review some (GOOD) hentai! Let's get this started already! Story: 9/10. I gotta say, I really don't understand the hentai community. So many people complain about there being too much NTR n' Rape in modern hentai. Yet, when a series that challenges the norm comes along, dead silence and a score of "6.61". Yes, I love the story but not just because this is wholesome with no NTR. No no no, many who follow my review know that even if a hentai has no NTR... if the story is fucking beeswax ima call it out. This actually has a great story. As the title suggests its about two "sex friends" that meet up again for a high school reunion. The story constantly cuts between "past" and "present". It retells the majority of the past and anytime a major time jump happens in the past it is handled very well (with either a cut to present then past again, or something else. Just the structure of the overall story is amazing, enough to warrant a high score. The only gripe I have with this section is that the pacing is off putting sometimes. But other than that, one of the best stories in modern hentai BY FAR. Art and Animation: 9/10. Pink Pineapple animated this and I think there is little I need to explain now. The art is fucking gorgeous. I love the color palette they used, as it steers away from a conman compliant I have with modern hentai... most are too FUCKING FLASHY. Like you know what I mean, the coloring feels really "shiny" and the contrast is to much. Which is odd considering Pink Pineapple is guilty of this. But, they did do a splendid job here, as the coloring stands out but not to the point where I question it. The only gripe I have with the art is the backgrounds and distant character shots, as they just feel a little awkward in presentation. The animation is great, and the choreography for the shmex scenes is even more impressive. The angles they use are great, diverse and kept things interesting. Sound: 10/10. This review is already long enough. While there are some weird audio moments (which it to be expected in this condtion), the overall is amazing. Character: 9/10. This is hentai is half n hour with only two characters. Let's just say that's a lot of room for potential. And thankfully, they use that potential to its max. Something I will say is weird is that I enjoyed the character's in this hentai more for their development rather than their personalities (which is rare in hentai). The girl (don't even know if they said her name) has a very interesting personality don't get me wrong. But what really makes her go from a "good character" to a "great one" is the fact that we get to see her grow and change. Which let me just say is very cool and definitely needs to be done in more hentai. Enjoyment: 9/10, I really enjoyed Sex Friend Osananajimi. It had great animation, no NTR and most of all an actually good story. Everything about this hentai really was a breath of much needed fresh air. Overall: 9/10, Overall, I would totally recommend this hentai to anyone! Everyone needs to get their shit together and score this higher, it truly deserves it! It may not be perfect but as of right now, it is my contender for the best hentai this year. After watching this hentai I am ready to get back into the swing of things and start reviewing again soon! Also apologies if this review feels different, have not done one it a while. Next one I will get back into it I hope!
