Episode 09

Resolution.  Heartbreak.  Catharsis.  The soap opera that is Kuzu no Honkai changes location to a cabin in the woods for this episode.

Hanabi has been moping around since Mugi kind of disappeared on her…

Ecchan invites Hanabi out to a relative’s cabin in the woods.  With the idea of one last fling before breaking things off…

But Ecchan’s cousin, Atsuya, crashes the party…

Hanabi takes a bath and there’s a window with a beautiful view of the woods…

Ecchan and Atsuya seem to get along pretty good.  Even if she hates guys.  But she doesn’t see him as a guy…

A little side boob from Hanabi.  Not bad….

Ecchan finally gets a chance to get one last yuri fling.  Too bad all the panty shots are off in the distance…

The cousin tries to get the girls to break up on his own…

Hard to belive that Ecchan wants to break up here.  Maybe they should go for “friends with benefits”?

And it’s time to break up.  Sad…

And there’ crying … in the rain.  Some pretty good dialogue too…

Maybe the will be “friends with benefits” after all…

Is Moka practicing for her next date???

Let’s not forget about Akane lurking in the shadows…

Thoughts

Shame that the fanservice scenes aren’t a bit more ecchi.  Hanabi had two bath scenes and we didn’t get to see much.  Just enough to let us know she’s got a nice body…

Really surprised that Ecchan was the one that broke it off with Hanabi.  Ecchan seemed to have gone over to the dark side wholeheartedly.  But it was the right thing to do.  For both girls.  And Ecchan may have already found her soulmate but doesn’t know it yet.  But no more yuri for Kuzu no Honkai.  Probably…


Is no girl safe from the temptation of the dark side in this anime?  Doesn’t seem like it…  Here’s hoping all the girls survive.  Except maybe Akane, Queen NTR Bitch…

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.
