Otokonoko ♂ Delivery

For us that hold up traps/femboys to the highest of culture, hentai OVAs involving this genre are hard to come by. You can look up any website that catalogs doujins of all kinds, and you'll find thousands involving cute traps in the lewdest situations you could imagine. It could be because hentai is an incredibly narrow medium due to a lack of budget and resources, except for a couple. Even though yuri is well-loved, you don't see it as much in recent years in the monthly hentai scheduled releases. But whenever something like Otokonoko Delivery comes into the ether, it's like a unicorn somehow graced ... us with its presence, and we can't help but feel giddy when we watch it, even if the end product itself is lackluster.

Why do I say this despite giving it very high praise? For one, it's a one-episode OVA that lasts less than twenty minutes. I know that might be asking too much, especially for a small studio like Studio Zealot, which has only made three hentai OVAs, including one other trap-themed one named Natsuyasumi. It isn't so much a blight on the hentai itself but more of a frustration. What is being presented is extraordinary; once it's over, you wish you could have a whole hour. It doesn't help that a couple of the sex scenes go by quickly and are over by the time you try to climax to them.

What does help is that the character designs, especially of the two trap characters, are very well done. Not only in how they are drawn but also in how colorful they are in tone. NemuNemu made the designs, an artist notable for doujins and pictures focused on crossdressing traps getting taken advantage of by older men and other traps. I've always been a fan of their work, and to see their drawings in animation form was incredible to watch. It makes me hope that more of their work gets adapted for the betterment of humanity.

Due to the short length, the story is about as bare-bones as expected. For hentai, it is serviceable in its job to get the characters to get to know each other and perform sexual escapades. The relationship between Shun and Aoi was pretty cute, and seeing them make love had that endearing factor on top of it being super hot. I can't say the same for the adult guy who barely has much of a presence other than to provide the big dick for our two adorable traps. Other than being the luckiest man in hentai, I digress.

I commend the voice acting of the voice actresses of our two crossdressers. The actresses performed their characters well and were not as fake, sounding like many voice actresses that try to pull off the boyish voice while trying to say feminine at the same time. Likewise, with my critique of the main guy's character, the voice actor sounds almost non-existent compared to the other two. Even when he makes a sound when he climaxes, he sounds bored out of his skull.

Despite my critiques of this OVA, I enjoy putting this on whenever I'm in the mood more than most other hentai in recent years. We have to take what we can get for us fans of traps. While Boku no Pico and its sequels are great and longer, on top of having three episodes, I enjoy the scenes of this one more than any of them. There's a lot to appreciate with the threesome at the end, our two cuties practicing each other to help Aoi become a slut, and Shun roleplaying as a cheerleader for our lucky guy. If there had been more episodes with this, I feel the world would be more at peace with itself than it is now.

It's not exactly hard to recommend something already a niche within a niche. If you feel like you're curious about the trap genre in hentai, I will not hesitate to recommend this to see why everyone else, like myself, knows why we are attracted to this genre. We pray to the trap gods that hentai studios will make more OVAs like this in the future, but from what little we have at the moment, we should be thankful for it.

Grade: A

Give me a minute to adjust what in god's name happened to me. I saw it all and now I somehow got it out of my head. It's not as pathetic as I thought it would be, But it's basically Boku no Pico on steroids. Let's go down the list, From worst to first.

Enjoyment: 1/10

I basically freaked out at the entirety of this hentai. It just either puts you to sleep or it makes you panic or it even makes you laugh at how bad it is. Don't worry, My enjoyment was hilariously pathetic. Either way, it doesn't matter what happens in this. This is ... a waste of pure enjoyment.

Story: 1/10
The Story is hilariously bad. At least Boku no Pico tried to do something with 3 stories. This is that but even more laughable. It's all about a Triple X company filled to the brim with men at the ages of 10, 11, or 12. Don't make the FBI look for me, I did not enjoy this at the slightest and the story makes less sense than Boku no Pico did. What a waste

Character: 5/10
It's in the middle of the wolf pack. Let's go down the list. The worst character in this show is the old man who created this company, I don't even know why I tried to include him. Then you got the hot cheerleader and yes I said hot (He really isn't hot, He's colder than the arctic circle). Then Pico. Then the blue-haired boss and then the adult human being. And the way they behave is weird as hell. It ain't too bad for character development and the kids even use adult language which bumps it up and it's funny.

Art: 6/10
The art is fair. It's got only one issue that bumped this down to a 6 instead of being left a 7. Why do you turn the foreskin of the penis into gelatin?! Who thought that the art style of that scene was a good idea?! I don't know who but we need to take this time to stop! Other than that, The art isn't too bad.

Sound: 10/10
Ok, I know what you're thinking. Why does the sound get 10? Every character that makes a sound is weird but in the best way possible, The way the small traps talk is normally sounded, The way that cheerleader moans (While suckin' it of course) is (Yes, I'm going to say it) pretty damn hot (Don't judge me, When I say it, I say it.) and basically Boku no Pico had worse soundings than this. Obviously, The moaning in this is hilariously outstanding. A pretty good way to stop smoking.

Final Result: 5/10
Roundabout: 4.6/10
Score: 23/50

This hentai is mediocre at it's finest. It's obviously better than Boku no Pico, And I'm pretty sure that the trio of little men are going to find me for this.

(KNOCK KNOCK)

Who's there?

Oh, Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey. We're here to suck your OCHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINCHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!

Oh god. THIS ANIME IS RATED FIVE OUT OF TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!

In 2016, we got multiple hits such as Erased, Re:ZERO Starting Life in Another World, Konosuba, Koyomimonogatari.

Among 2016’s titles, Otokonoko Delivery promised to deliver an innovation to the anime industry, unfortunately I’ve come to report, Otokonoko Delivery is a fraud, alongside its main cast of eccentric characters. It’s an unremarkable hit with flawed storytelling.

It shot for the stars, gave up halfway, and settled for firey Venus. It had a lofty goal of delivering a message to the audience about their habits, but amidst the laughable self-indulgent pay-off of its immediate storyline, and neat looking directing tricks, it was too scared to commit.

The anime begins with ... an overworked businessman, Kazuya, picking up an advertisement he left on his desk.

The beginning is powerful, not only is it commentary on Japanese working culture, but subtly conveys his random pick-ups for advertisements. Instead of throwing them away, he’s the type of person to check them over.

This advertisement is for a “boys brothel” specifically an Otokonoko brothel, immediately resonating the following themes of working. So you’re telling me students are having to take these shady jobs to get by? This is an excellent and promising setup, a dare to tackle working culture with subtle commentary. Not unlike students taking convenience store jobs today.

This scene moves to our protagonists, Shun and Aoi during break.

Shun is depicted as the well-read shy type, though Aoi immediately begins by establishing a crush on Shun.

The opening begins, which is really well-made and hypes up the entire anime thus far, even ending with a scene of Shun entering the woman’s bathroom, while Aoi tails him. The symbolism and cinematography so far leads up a promising start.

Oh how everything comes down, we begin with an unnecessarily long sex scene. The animation isn’t that great either, a lot of shots that stay for too long. But the story continues along after the interaction with the businessman and Otokonoko.

This immediately develops a love triangle, but what’s this? Unprompted, Shun kisses Aoi, skipping all of the character building and story potential. Sure, we suspect he knew Aoi was following him. It’s subversive because it’s a story about Otokonoko’s, but does that mean it’s good?

So why is subversion needed? To create entertainment that isn’t a slave to an industry, you need subversion because it undermines the power of an established kind of media structure, however, do not confuse subversion with self-awareness, or just unexpected outcomes.

Being unexpected is simply what a story needs if you want it to be engaging, you need to keep things unpredictable to a certain extent if you want to keep the viewers engaged.

Unfortunately this turn of events goes into another sex scene, with a rather absurd, I apologise for the spoilers foreskin exchange scene.

After they both work as Otokonoko’s and serve the businessperson with rather unsatisfying animation. Really the best part here are the outfits which aren’t even shown for that long.

The anime ends with the self-indulgent payoff of the business man happily looking into the distance after work.

The pacing is way too fast, as a romance it fails to setup the relationship between our protagonists, and its potential in storytelling was given up.

To give some praise, the key art is good. The voice acting is pretty good too. That’s where my praise comes to a quick end.

If I was going to suggest 2016’s most influential anime, I would suggest Re:ZERO and Erased and Konosuba.

I wish I had more to say about this anime. But it remains ultimately uninspired in the Otokonoko genre.
