Nozoki Ana

After moving into his new apartment, art school student Tatsuhiko Kido discovers a crack in his wall. When he peeks inside, he makes eye contact with his neighbor, Emiru Ikuno, as she masturbates. He rushes next door to clear the misunderstanding and inform her of the crack, but accidentally trips and falls over her in the process. To make matters even worse, Emiru now has photographic evidence that would plainly depict Kido as a sexual offender. Kido then learns that Emiru has a voyeurism fetish, and is blackmailed into leaving the crack as is.

Unfortunately for Kido, it doesn't stop here! Emiru is also attending the same art school that he is, and he will be seeing her far more than he would like to. Emiru and Kido are set to embark on a unique friendship with wildly erotic potential.

I'll be straight on this reviews . PLEASE READ THE MANGA . The manga is wayyyyyy better and complex than this OVA and I enjoyed it a lot . In my opinion , this is just a rushed OVA made in order to improve the sells on the manga . So I will point the principal ideas out:

Story - 8

As much as it shows in this OVA , I think 8 is a pretty generous score . A college student moves into a new apartment after living all his life on country-side . After moving in , he's stunned to see a young girl masturbating ... in the other apartment through a hole in the wall . After this incident , they get stucked with each other and their relationship develops slowly .

Art - 7

Nothing outstanding , but still enjoyable .

Sound - 5

Bad voice actors choice and not a single track that catches your attention .

Character - 8

Emiru is really a great character , if you read the manga , you'd observe how charming and intelligent she really is . Kido is your average student , his kindness ruins him though .

Enjoyment - 9

This is good fap material , for real . I think this is the only way this OVA can be used for .

Overall - 7

The OVA was ok , but I just can't hold myself but say that there is a desperate need of at least a second OVA . This one covered only a small amount of chapters from the manga , and the best part was left outside .

Mixed Feelings

I don't usually review shows here on My Anime List.. but I'll make an exception for Nozoki Ana. The thing is... I'm INCREDIBLY pissed off at this OVA, to a degree only people that actually went trought the whole manga can imagine. This OVA makes Nozoki Ana seems a simple "soft-hentai show" while in reality... it's so much more than that.

In the rating of the show i gave 6 to every single aspect of it because well.. the characters are the ones in the manga, the story is the one in the manga, etc... the problem tho is this: Nozoki Ana, in manga form, is ... one of the few mangas i really consider to be a "masterpiece". It becomes incredibly dark, it has heavy (and i mean H E A V Y ) drama and it's romance puts to shame a lot of other "pure-romance" show out there.

This OVA tho... it only takes the beginning of the story, focus a lot on the sexual part of it and... it ends before you can even have a little glimps at what the story will actually become after that.

I'm positive whoever watched this without actually knowing about hos good the manga it will categorize Nozoki Ana as something "ecchi" worth the watch only for the sex part and nothing more... and that is why I'm pissed off at this, because I'm sure this will make people think Nozoki Ana is something not worth going into and will probably make the manga lose quite a lot of chances.

So know this: don't watch the anime, go DIRECTLY for the manga, you will find a masterpiece that will literally tear your heart and soul apart from time time... i know mine actually did skip a beat... expecially in the 116 chapter.

Alright, I'll be honest here. If you're not prepared for some ecchi and abrupt fan service from even the first few seconds of this episode, then click 'x' on that video and immediately drop it. But at any rate, if you can make it further than that, this OVA episode is adapted into a way that depicts how a simple blackmail will turn into a strange routine for a new boy in town.

Nozoki Ana is a special OVA episode that runs for over 40 minutes in time length adapted from the current ongoing manga of the same name. The OVA episode is adapted from ... the 13th and final volume of the manga series as it will conclude soon. Eager fans of the manga may be delightful to see an animated version of the manga. It's almost like a dream come true just like our main protagonist, Kido in the episode. However, not all is as it seems..

From even the very first seconds, there is an incidence of a lascivious scene. It's actually from this incident (that turns into blackmail) involving our unlucky main protagonist, Kido. But it doesn't stop there because of this peephole that exists in his place. It is the object of both Kido's desire and fear as his neighbor Ikuno has a perverted nature while he himself is not immune to the lustful girls presented in this episode. This is especially true since the girls in this episode is about as lustful as they come. Take for example, Ikuno. She uses that peephole to satisfy her desires.

But it doesn't stop there.

The date that Kido-kun takes back to his home also gives him a pleasurable experience. At the same time, it seems that Kido being the healthy boy is always eager to go with what the girls want. Obviously, being 18 years old and all makes him give into such trivial ideas. Despite hating the situation of being peeped on during several occasions, he does seem to care about Ikuno as witnessed later on. He claims that he "hates" Ikuno while Ikuno herself likes everything about him. Initially, Kido becomes the chick magnet of this episode.

And of course, being the manipulative girl that she is, Ikuno does what she wants, when she wants, and how she wants. It puts Kido at a very uncomfortable position and many times, he wishes that everything from the beginning never happened. Yet, he somehow gets aroused by what he sees, hears, and does. In fact, Kido doesn't even have a real girlfriend yet but has experiences more from his date than ever. Also, there's the situation between him and Ikuno. At many stances, it's obviously apparent that he has some feelings or the very least, lust for her. In fact, they even get into several compromising positions that invokes the 'just do it already'. It's quite frustrating to watch because how short this episode is and the fact that Kido just can't seem to get his hands together with her.

Alright, so at this point, I had to face palm myself many times because of the way this episode was being handled. The production values used in this episode was quite weak and not only generic but the fact that it was just mishandled in general from the beginning. Studio Fantasia who handles the production has done some other 'ecchi' titles in the past and I have to say that in this episode, they dropped the ball. Surprisingly, the episode does have somewhat of a "plot". Can you believe it? An ecchi title with a plot! It's very weak though and literally gets to nowhere. The soundtrack isn't any better either with the voice acting and background score. You'll hardly pay attention to it anyways since the episode's soundtrack is the last thing you'll be thinking about with the other "sounds" going on in the backgrounds.

Overall enjoyment: 4 (I guess?)

Well, I'm actually having a hard time deciding the score but being a manga fan, I am a bit more generous. It's just that the ecchi is quite explicit to the point where it's borderline H. This episode felt out of pace and overall should of either being adapted into a full anime series or just leave it out altogether. Not worth the time.

The Most Popular Manga Yet to be Licensed

There are more manga being officially translated into English than ever before, but even the most popular series can still fall through the cracks.
