I kid you not, the closest thing I’ve seen to have a good balance of intimate romantic foreplay and filthy sex is this awful anime called Virgin Night. Animation just doesn’t really come across clean in forms of love making. I also remember the best looking Hentai I’ve seen play a really sappy love song about togetherness and true love while the couple has public sex in the pool. I have one particular hentai that made me cry, but the girl was still being ganged up by dudes in a bathroom in that anime. Even Hentai can’t really make sex scenes look sophisticated. It made sex scenes look good, and anime hasn’t really done that great a job of that until Scum’s Wish appeared. It has that big triumphant feel to it, because it has done something utterly remarkable. In terms of the directing and the animation, this show is a big triumph. Before I try to dissect the story and all of its questionable content, I want to talk about the cinematography. Yknow, they have tons of monologue that kills the story. It’s like a weird impressionist piece by an angsty teenager that thinks this is how people handle unrequited love.
The more the show progresses, the more I wonder what in the actual hell is happening now? It’s like a love story, but it’s not really one. I want to relate to them, because the premise is relatable, but I just can’t. The story is boring, and the characters kinda loses you at the end. I’m trying to understand it from different angles, but the show is really just a mess. I literally just finished the anime as I type this, and I don’t know what to feel. I appreciate what it’s trying to accomplish, but the overall experience is really just dull. This anime is both amazing and pretty damn awful.
In reality though, both are just stand-ins for people they know they can never have. Hanabi and Mugi would date, and they’d pretend they’re actually with the person they want. Hanabi and Mugi know this for a fact, and they decided to be something about it. Both Narumi and Akane are teachers, and they sorta like each other. Hanabi has had a long crush on this guy named Narumi, while Mugi feels the same for this girl named Akane. They look great together, but they have a secret. The anime is about Hanabi Yasuraoka dating this guy named Mugi Awaya. This review is also kinda long, so let’s just read on. It’s like a weird mix of sexual energy and fluffy romance. The show is called Scum’s Wish, and it’s a twelve episode anime about, well, a lot of things, to be honest. Oh, I haven’t had one of these for a long time. This anime is part of the Winter 2017 lineup, and it’s a noitaminA anime. This is review number three hundred and eighty five.
