    Fortunately I don’t know any hentais so I wouldn’t know. Unfortunately these days most anime titles sound like hentai anyway.

          This is my review from an older thread:

          I watched it after this thread, and it’s surprisingly good for how completely and utterly vile it is at a conceptual level. It’s explicitly gay, the protagonist is a gross piece of shit but not as bad as, say, Rae Taylor from I’m in Love with the Villainess because the relationship she ends up in is a mutual thing and not some dehumanizing reward for clever plotting and saving the day, and it’s somewhat less cumbrained than it looks.

          It’s still fundamentally gross and has a lot of bad shit in it, though.

          Weirdly the uncensored anime is actually more explicit than the manga which is comparatively censored and doesn’t linger on the most explicit scenes the way the anime does.

          Overall, I would not recommend either version of it to anyone who doesn’t have the same exact sort of basically-ace-but-entertained-by-weird-horny-slop brainworms I do.

              Maybe? IIRC the anime doesn’t specify an age for any of them either directly or indirectly, nor does it focus on anything to do with their school. If they are it’s not really reflected in the art or writing, and the only character that definitely is has an extremely conservative wardrobe and is never the target of the weird horny shit - although she’s still involved in weird and actively disgusting things too.

              That said, the dubious ages are one of the reasons it’s a solid “I do not recommend this” alongside a bunch of other weird and gross things about it, there’s just also a surprisingly decent story at its core and it’s not as bad as it looks for reasons that are hard to articulate. I think it’s the all-female cast and how they’re written to have agency and be the sole drivers of the plot - even if that plot is horny and gross - instead of just being passively present as fan service alongside a male-driven plot? It’s like Kill la Kill vs some tripe like The 7 Deadly Sins or Overlord. Also the fact that it’s completely unambiguous yuri with relationships that are weirdly positive and healthy compared to, well, everything else that’s happening in the story.

    Does anyone remember that string of numbers that people would post on reddit, and then all the comments would be like “oh god” “ugh my trauma” etc, because it was the url for some hentai story that was supposed to be heartbreaking? I feel like that would be a good candidate, assuming it also has a word-based title so you don’t have to go around saying “have you seen 2141335649?” or whatever.

    I dunno, I’m realizing I don’t know any horrific hentai offhand. I guess you could just say “teletubbies rule 34” or something, instead of a specific title. Tbh I’d just say goatse for this bit, because I’m old.

    Edit: apparently it was 177013, Emergence. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure that’s too generic a title to just say “have you seen Emergence?” Also they later changed the title to metamorphosis, which is no better. Apparently there are other “cursed numbers” too, but I have run out of interest / attention span to research further.
