Moka is such a sweet princess kind of girl…

Akane, aka Queen NTR Bitch, seems to be lurking in the shadows…
Fallen angel time… Or is it???
Hanbi winds up alone for the night and takes a bath instead.
And Moka’s date moves to the bedroom…
Hanbi does a popsicle instead. Lewd…
Moka’s date is moving on past first base. With Mugi as the base runner…
Mugi is rounding second base now…
Moka is a DFC kind of girl…
But it was the right thing to do for Moka. Dark side avoided…
Hanbi keeps wondering where the heck Mugi is…
Thoughts
Is no girl safe from the temptation of the dark side in this anime? Doesn’t seem like it…
Sad to see Moka be tempted by the dark side. But she comes to her senses after flirting with it. Helps that Mugi isn’t quite the rascal that he seems to be. Or is he???
I’ve seen Kuzu no Honkai called a soap opera more than a few times. That seems apt. Messed up characters in messed up situations. And the characters are pretty promiscuous too…
What’s interesting is how Kuzu no Honkai is using sex scenes to tell part of the story and the character motivations. That’s an adult way of story telling. Nicely played. Nice writing.
The writing is so good and keeps me going even when I’m not crazy about what is happening on screen.
Compelling stuff. Compelling characters, story and directing. Might be a train wreck in the making for the characters. Might not be. Who knows right now. But hard not to keep watching to see what happens…
With characters this messed up, who knows what’s gonna happen next? What a tangled web Kuzu no Honkai weaves. It’s a love polygon. Of unrequited love. Every which direction. Every which way…
Production values are high. Nicely so. Nice artwork, writing and direction. Nothing comes across as too generic, especially the characters. Multi-layered. Complex. With both positive and negative emotions. Some nice dialogue too. (Which is not included since I am using Leopard Raws for my reviews.)
Horny teenagers. Full of hormones. Who don’t like themselves very much. And pine for a love that they can never have. Yet are intelligent and thoughtful. Even if they can’t control how they feel and act.
Definitely not an anime for everyone. Especially if you don’t like angst and drama with your ecchi. But if you’re an ecchi fan and you want to see see a little more “action” than most anime shows this season, you might want to check Kuzu no Honkai out.
