Moonlight Lady

ok so my first review. apologies in advance, this is not going to have some of the detailed breakdowns i have seen in many other (really helpful) reviews. sigh. this hentai frustrated me. i feel that there was a decent storyline here trying to get out, but the final result was a confused mess. the set up is quite nicely done in the first three episodes, involving an old family curse, abductions, mind control and an evil matriarch, but by episode four my heart gradually sank as i realised the conclusion was going to be unsatisfactory; and it was, withthe plot lines left completely unresolved. what happened to suzana's mum? or her dad for that matter? koichi's friend? the maids? suzana's cousin? you get the picture. the storyline goes nowhere. the huge jumps in time, where night becomes day in a heartbeat, adds to the general sense of confusion. fair enough you may say, it's hentai. the plot doesn't matter. sex. it's the sex we want. i hear ya. i watch hentai for well drawn, explicit and erotic sex too. unfortunately, moonlight lady does not deliver in that regard either. first of all, many of the scenes are rapey. i can't get comfortable with sex scenes where the woman involved is clearly saying no. second, the guy doesn't make a sound. not even when he comes. he's having the best sex of his life, with multiple gorgeous women, and he has nout to say. you can forget any horny facial expressions on his part too, as his face is hidden most of the time. the animation of the sexual encounters are quite awkwardly drawn too, so for example the hip positions are mismatched to the extent that sex cannot realistically be taking place, yet we are supposed to believe that it is. there is a fair bit of yuri if you like that sort of thing, and if you have a cum or breast fetish then you may like this. on the plus side, the animation is bright and clean, and at least suzana has some reasonable characterisation - no-one else does unfortunately. usually when i watch a poor hentai i just give it a low rating on MAL and move on, but i felt so let down by the wasted potential of this animation i was moved to write something. oh well. the hunt for good hentai continues.

[CONTAINS SPOILERS] This show is balls crazy. I skipped through all the weirdo sex/rape scences and watched a fucking psycho ass stories with no resolution and hints to a plot. The characters are really good looking, but times during the dialogue, they're faces would look distorted, with their noses really big and no definition below it. The main characters romance is really abrupt and rather hard to believe, what with her hating him and him violently raping her. She seems to fall in love with him after he bangs the maid, which is just a case of "it's mine, back off" when you would've assumedthat she would've been happier than he's not, oh i don't know, RAPING HER VIOLENTLY. He throws some bullshit around like "you're the only one for me" and "I like your tits better" and then proceeds to have a nonsensical orgy with the two maids and three village girls. Like wtf. and then somehow he has a demon spirit inside of him, which never gets explained, and then proceeds to fuck the main girl with the demon's cock. I laughed and cringed more than I enjoyed it. The music is whatever. It's like creepy shit when anything magical happens and then...wait nevermind, it's all creepy shit. The sounds they make are so weird and i dont know if i'll ever watch hentai stuff ever again. I

Moonlight Lady is an alright anime. I was impressed with the artwork and the characters because usually I go very well with rating anime for these two areas and its where I decide if I enjoyed a title or not. Its enjoyable to the people who enjoy anime such as Elfen Lied as it is mature but it doesn't get too explict. Some of the scene's were not very appealing to me but the rest of it was enjoyable. Not a lot of violence it mainly focuses on Sazuma and the adventures she comes across while training to become a priestess. I would say that this anime shouldget a 17s+ because although it is more mature than certain titles it can go overboard at certain points but I would reccomend it to anyone interested in medi-core or soft-core adult anime. This would be a good one to watch before you see any of the harder titles, if you don't enjoy it at least you gave it a try and you have seen what anime of this genere can be like.
