I got another for ya. I can't say that this is hentai, as much as it is based off of one, so a few moments of ecchi might be involved in this title (and by that I mean nudity is a STRONG focus in this one! Definitely must be of legal age and have tolerance of that to even watch, I'm warning you.) My 6th review is the less-known anime Green Green (odd, ain't it?), based off an ero visual novel of the same title. It took me a while to find out what I want to say about it, but here it goes to the best of my ability.
Check around for the detail of the visual novel of the game, but here's the gist of the anime's background. The Kanenone Gakuen is an all male boarding school isolated in the wilderness (I guess for all the right reasons.) However, it was proposed that the all-male academy would turn co-ed, something that the girl-deprived male students got excited over. The main ones in particular happens to be the Baka Trio, who are friends, albeit terrible ones, to Yuusuke Takashi, the main male character of this story. After preparing, the bus with the female students finally arrive. And when Yuusuke is pushed to the front to welcome them, one female student, Midori Chitose, leaps and hugs him as if she knew him before. Be it a mix of confusion or his head injury (caused by Midori's greeting), Yuusuke doesn't remember her. Combined with the antics of the Baka Trio, and the actions of those like the tomboyish Futaba, Yuusuke is going to have a hard time with Midori.
Common to most anime adapted from ero visual novels, the storyline is tweaked quite a bit. I must say though, anime wise, there are 12 episodes released here, but in truth, there is a 13th one, which is without question considered hentai. This was labeled as an OVA, and not packaged (don't ask how I managed to see it.) There were other OVAs concerning this title, but I have not seen any aside from the previously mentioned one, and I heard one got rather poor reception anyway. The 12-episode anime is licensed for US via Media Blasters, with the two main characters, Midori Chitose and Yuusuke Takashi, voiced by Cindy Robinson and Bryce Papenbrook (respectively) in the dub.
All in all, I give it a 7 of 10, partly because I found it rather tolerable from start to finish (though the voice of the main female, Midori, was a little hard to bear at times in general), and that on a personal level... I kinda relate to the male character Yuusuke (and I mean RELATE, I won't go in the details). Still, not the best one and one of the least known titles out there, but I did at least thought it was pretty decent.
