Shoujo Sect

Ten years ago, Shinobu Handa and Momoko Naitou met on a playground and became friends. Before their separation, they shared a kiss and a promise that they would see each other again. Years later, Shinobu still remembers that vow, but Momoko has forgotten it.

Now the two attend the same school. However, their personalities are complete opposites. Shinobu is a delinquent collecting a string of lovers, but Momoko is a serious student and a member of the disciplinary committee. Shinobu uses her flirtatious nature to try to make Momoko rediscover the bond and feelings they once shared.

Various stories of love and lust envelop Momoko and Shinobu's lives. Can these two find their way back to one another?

Shoujo Sect is a Hentai, Yuri, Romance, Drama with plenty of girl-on-girl action and a story to back. If you’re under 18 and Yuri isn’t you thing; then look elsewhere.

It is set in an all-girls private school, with the story being about the questionable relationships between girls. Watching this short OVA is basically like watching a collection of short-stories, as each relationship offers a different story from the last. However this anime tends to spend little time developing each relationship (more time on sex) and the transitions between relationships isn’t as smooth as it should be. Although it is predominantly the 1st episode that’s affected ... by these issues, as the remaining 2 episodes have more of a focus on the main relationship. It’s a shame this OVA series couldn’t have been any longer, because then it wouldn’t have felt so rushed.

This being a Yuri anime, there is one thing to expect from the characters and that is ‘lesbians’. With an all-girl cast, it is quite interesting seeing what kind of roles they play in the story but there only seem to be two that really matter (Shinobu Honda & Momoko Naitou), whilst the rest that were introduced in the beginning can be entirely forgotten.

The quality of the animation isn’t anything special but it did a great job adapting the manga; from the cute character designs to the sensual sex scenes. Though there are some inconsistencies that can be noticed, by a keen eye. The quality of the sound is somewhat difficult to judge because there isn’t much of a notable BGM or SFX used. Although during the sex scenes expect to hear a contrast of moans and classical piano compositions.

Overall Shoujo Sect certainly offers the fans of this kind of anime what they wanted, an all-girls school featuring some very intimate relationships. It’s a shame that due to its short length, a lot of story had to be left out but that doesn’t excuse the studio for changing the story around, which makes it lose the same feel as the manga. At least it came to a satisfying conclusion, even though I felt some of the sex scenes were too short.

Mixed Feelings

My first hentai and my first yuri. Good memories, really, too bad that the story is not the best. As much as I can adore some characters like Shinobu, anyway I have to admit that it's quite disappointing as anime. He takes a 6 only because in general it is not bad, but to be honest it is worse than the manga. I read the manga long after seeing the anime and was shocked by the number of hentai scenes and their presentation compared to the anime.
Some scenes are nice, I can't deny it, but in general it's not exactly a good anime. The romantic ... element is what attracted me to the series, in all honesty, and I always liked the happy ending. If you are looking for a mediocre yuri hentai anime this is for you, it is not a masterpiece and does not have a great story. Three episodes easy, easy to consume.

Shoujo Sect tries to be yuri/romance with hentai elements (or vice versa). Unfortunately it fails to meet the requirements of both genres. There isn’t a consistent plot, drama or good character development, so it can’t be called a romance anime. The erotic scenes are short and lack quality, so it is not even a proper hentai.

Plot: 3/10
The plot in any 99% of all hentai anime is stupid and awful. However, in most hentai the plot is usually simple. Shoujo Sect tries to make an exception. Its plot is probably about the love between two girls, which go to the same school and are childhood ... friends. Yes, I said “probably”, because the plot is very confusing. The supposed lead characters get the same screen time, as all the secondary characters, and the story ends up with narration from one of the third rate characters.

Characters: 3/10
The characters make the story confusing. There are just too many of them. Usually some random (and sometimes nameless!) girl appears, has sex with some other girl for one or two minutes and disappears never to be heard again. That happened to the sisters from the first episode and many others. This might be common and acceptable in hentai. Unfortunately, it hurts the story. Because of all these unimportant and nameless characters, the two main leads don’t get enough screen time and character development.
Anyways, Momoko has a very bland and indecisive personality. She randomly accepts and rejects love proposals. Handa is rather unpleasant. She sleeps with the whole school, shows her panties to her classmates and occasionally rapes them. After seeing all that, we are supposed to believe she actually loves somebody. Yeah, right.

Animation: 4/10
The animation is below average. The eyes, the hair and the anatomy of the girls are awful. That makes the sex scenes rather unpleasant. I also have to mention how the breasts of the same character constantly change form and shape. This is simply disturbing.

Sound: 6/10
The music has classical sound, which is awesome, but sometimes simply doesn’t fit. Using the Moonlight sonata for porn scene is an atrocity. Nonetheless, the music is the best part in Shoujo Sect.

Enjoyment: 4/10
After some unrelated events and some random ugly-looking sex, the story ends with everybody in love. I love happy endings, but I didn’t enjoy this one.

Overall: 4/10
Yuri, incest, exhibitionism and sexual extortion can create dramatic and intense plot for romance story or good hentai, but not in here. The poor character development, the bad animation and unpleasant sex scenes also ruin the experience. And they have no excuse with time constraints. 3 episodes of around 27 minutes make a full-sized movie, which is enough for creating better plot and characters. Anyways, give it a try. Some people seem to like it better than I do.
