Hatsu Inu 2 The Animation: Strange Kind of Woman - Again

Esta review también está en español.

Note: the score is in what people call "hentai scale" (that means, this is a scoring system that only takes into account the hentai, that way, I don't have to qualify such things like Bible Black with the same parameters I rate Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, for example). Also, this is a second part, so common sense dictates that you must watch the first one first n_n.

Hatsu Inu was one of the first hentai I ever saw, and it was the one i enjoyed the most. Is the sequel at the same level? Let's see...

Hatsu Inu 2 The Animation: Strange Kind ... of Women – Again (HI2) is the second OVA series that adapts... sorry, that takes elements from the Hatsu Inu manga (highly recommended if you liked this and the previous OVAs).

HI2's story could be divided in two parts: in the first ep, we see how Fukaya (male main character) accidentally broke Fujino's (main female character) favorite vibrator (something very serious in this anime xD), so they end up going to a sex-shop to find a new one. The shopping became a sexual encounter in one of the dressing rooms, and Fukaya says that, in that kind of situations, is very practical that Fujino don't make noises... comment that concerns Fujino, since she think his boyfriend would like her more if she were a little more effusive or noisy. Mita (the other female main character, and Fujino's rival), for reasons only logical in a hentai, decide to help her. The second ep is, basically, about Mita playing mad scientist again. This time, she creates a potion that, supposedly, will make Fukaya fall for her, but instead, well, let's just say that "Fukaya's little friend" can't look up anymore... How will the girls help him?. I leave that to your imagination.

From the previous paragraph, you'll notice that we have the exact same characters from the first part: Fukaya, a pretty common guy (but a good guy, a very valuable thing in this genre, since most of the MC tend to be assholes, rapist, or... octopuses...) that doesn't like vibrators that much, Fujino is mute (she shows her emotions clearly, though, via facial expression, that make her extremely cute) and horny as ever, and Mita is that spectacular meganeko that insist in using the power of science for the seduction of what appears to be the only man the whole damn city. The character that lost relevance was the nurse, who pass form occasional sexual partner in the first part, to guardian and mentor of the kids in this OVAs. Not bad, but it would have been nice to have a new girl in this party.

Regarding the animation, here we have a problem. Despite being more than correct, is significantly lower when compared to its predecessor. The scenarios are rather simple (not that it matters), and with the character design (this is important), the one that suffer the most is, by far, Mita: she tend to look weird, and sometimes, plain awful (the shape of her head changes occasionally, her nose becomes pointy, and her hair color change a few times!). But it's only for a few moments so, although is noticeable, is not that bad. Despite that graphic trouble, Fujino and Mita remain as two of the most beautiful girls I ever saw in a hentai, both have a great body (without being disproportionate), and use a wide selection of sexual positions. This is where these OVA compensates the visuals, and surpasses its predecessor: the sex here is more varied, and the girls interact a lot here (unlike HI1, when they barely spend time together... I was going to say "talk", but... you know xD). And yes, here we have the threesomes we didn't had in the first one!

The sound is fine, i guess. The truth is, I didn't listen very carefully, since my attention was in other place. But the voices were correct (even Fujino's seiyuu... yes people, the fact that she doesn't talk doesn't mean she doesn't have a voice actor... I mean, those moans must come from somewhere). The only seiyuu I have info about is the nurse: she has a very impressive hentai CV, and you probably know her as Sekai Saionji (from School Days). Don't remember if there was music or not.

So, to end this review, I must say that I found HI2 amazing. And not only that, I think this is a great first step for the beginners, since it lacks all the crap (my humble opinion, people) that abound in hentai, that means abuse, rape, futa, loli, shota, bdsm, guro, and the worst thing ever, the tentacles. Instead of being like Kotonoha and Sekai, the duel between Fujino and Mita is pretty cordial, almost friendly, so we don't have angst, teen drama or tragedy. Everything is nice and simple, but not dumb (or just an excuse to see all the fucking... although that’s the more important part :P). These OVA's don't take themselves too seriously, and we see such things like publicity for other hentai titles in places like trains, or when Mita experiment goes wrong and ends naked because of an explosion, she just sighs and says "ok people, enjoy this little fan service!". Sure, the visuals are a little worst than in HI1, but it compensates with more and better sex scenes. And at the end of the day ... Isn't that what matters?

And if you liked Hatsu Inu 2 (of course, I assumed you watched the first part first...), I recommend Kateikyoushi no Onee-san The Animation: H no Hensachi Agechaimasu (and its continuation), Kafun Shoujo Chuuihou! The Animation and Sexfriend (this one specially, not only cause is the more similar to HI, but is the only one that doesn’t have censorship, which is always great). All these are "light" hentais, without all the nasty things mentioned above.

Nota: el puntaje está en la llamada escala hentai (o sea, un sistema de puntaje que solo tiene en cuenta el hentai, y no el resto de los géneros, para no tener que comparar el puntaje de FMA: Brotherhood con el de Bible Black). También, esto es una segunda parte, así que antes de ver esta, vean la primera parte.

Ahhh, Hatsu Inu fue uno de los primeros hentais que vi, y sin duda alguna fue el que más disfrute. Esta su secuela a la altura? Veamos...

Hatsu Inu 2 The Animation: Strange Kind of Women – Again (HI2) es la segunda tanda de OVAS que adapta... mejor dicho, que toma elementos del manga Hatsu Inu (muy recomendable si les gusto la primera tanda de OVAs).

La historia de HI2 podría dividirse un dos partes: en el primer capítulo, vemos como, accidentalmente, Fukaya (protagonista masculino) rompe el vibrador de Fujino (algo muy, muy grave en este anime xD), por lo que terminan yendo a un sex-shop para buscar uno nuevo. De compras paso a encuentro sexual en uno de los vestidores y Fukaya dice (solo por decir) que, en estas situaciones, es muy útil que Fujino no haga ruido, comentario que preocupa a la chica, porque piensa que su pareja la preferiría si fuera un poco mas efusiva o ruidosa. Mita, por razones solo lógicas en un hentai, decidirá ayudarla. La historia del segundo episodio es, básicamente, Mita jugando al científico loco otra vez. En esta ocasión, crea una poción que supuestamente hará que Fukaya se enamore de ella, pero terminara haciendo que... bueno, digamos que el “pequeño Fukaya” ya no funciona xD. Como lo ayudaran las chicas? Bueno, los dejo adivinar n_n.

Del párrafo anterior, podrán notar que tenemos a los mismos personajes de la primera parte: Fukaya sigue siendo un tipo bastante común (pero un buen tipo, algo muy valioso en el género, dado que la mayoría son desgraciados, violadores, o cosas por el estilo) al que siguen sin gustarle mucho los vibradores, Fujino sigue igual de muda y calentona que antes, y Mita insiste en usar el poder de la ciencia para intentar conquistar al que parece ser el único hombre del mundo. El personaje que perdió un poco de protagonismo es la enfermera, que paso de pareja sexual ocasional de la primera parte, a solo guardiana y mentora de los chicos en estos OVAs. No está mal, pero hubiera estado bueno que metieran a alguna chica nueva.

En lo que respecta a la animación, acá tenemos un problema. A pesar de ser más que correcta, es claramente inferior si se la compara con la precuela. Los escenarios son más bien simples, y en cuanto al diseño de personajes, la que más sufre, por mucho, es Mita: llega a verse muy rara, y a veces, horrible (su cabeza suele cambiar de forma, su nariz se hace mas puntiaguda, y a veces, hasta su pelo cambia de color!). Pero solo es por unos momentos, así que no es muy grave. Fujino y Mita siguen siendo dos de las chicas mas lindas que vi en un hentai, las dos tienen un físico genial (sin ser ridículo) y ambas usan una amplia gama de posiciones. Y es justamente en esto en lo que esta nueva tanda de OVAs supera a su predecesora: acá el sexo es más variado, y Mita y Fujino interactúan mucho (a diferencia de la primera parte, en la que apenas si cruzan palabra). Y si, acá están los tríos que no tuvimos en la primera parte.

El sonido está bien, supongo. La verdad no escuche muy detenidamente, mi atención estaba en otro lado. Pero las voces cumplían (incluido el seiyuu de Fujino... si señores, que no hable no quiere decir que no lo tenga... esos gemidos no se hacen solos), y la música, si es que había, no me molesto para nada.

Para ir redondeando, HI2 es genial. Un excelente comienzo para los que quieran iniciarse en el género, dado que carece de todas las porquerías (humilde opinión) que tanto abundan en el hentai, o sea, maltrato, violaciones, futanari, shota, loli, bdsm, guro, y muy especialmente, esos jodidos tentáculos. En lugar de ser como Kotonoha y Sekai, Fujino y Mita se disputan a Fukaya de una manera muy cordial, casi amistosa, por lo que no tenemos drama o tragedia adolescente. Estas OVAs no se tomas muy en serio a sí mismas, y vemos cosas como propaganda de otros títulos hentai en lugares tan insólitos como trenes, o que cuando a Mita le sale mal un experimento y queda desnuda a causa de una explosión, ella simplemente suspira resignada y dice “bueno gente, acá tienen un poco de fan service”. Cierto, a nivel grafico es un poco (bastante) inferior a su precuela, pero lo compensa con más y mejores escenas de sexo. Y al final del día... ¿No es eso lo importante?

Y si les gusto este título (obviamente, habiendo visto previamente la primera parte), recomiendo Kateikyoushi no Onee-san The Animation: H no Hensachi Agechaimasu (y su continuación), Kafun Shoujo Chuuihou! The Animation y Sexfriend (este especialmente, no solamente es el más parecido a Hatsu Inu de todos, si no que no tiene censura, lo que es un gran punto a favor). Todos son hentai tranquilos, sin los elementos desagradables que mencione anteriormente.

Hatsu Inu did it againg
One of the best Hentai a person can enjoy with some pop=corn and soda
The plot is good as the first Hatsu Inu but with more character
If you want to kill time I recoment you to wath it ;)

Few hentai titles have captivated me as much as Strange Kind of Woman. So you can only imagine my excitement when I heard they were coming out with a two episode sequel. A direct continuation of the first, Strange Kind of Woman ~Again~ focuses on our same adorable couple, the exceedingly quiet vibrator loving Fujino and the all too happy to be having sex with someone Fukaya, as they continue their tryst filled relationship. But this time they’re going to be confronted with a couple problems on their road to happiness, whatever will they do to solve their little tribulations? Well… you can’t really go ... wrong with more sex!

Strange Kind of Woman ~Again~ is a title that does not want to dwell on the things we don’t want. Like talking, or any type of plot. Hell, Fujino doesn’t even speak-- talk about a girlfriend to hold onto! This is, of course, part of what makes Fujino so delicious, but it is also the main focus of the first episode. After Fukaya and Fujino go to a “shop for men and women” to get her a new vibrator, Fujino decides to model a couple outfits for Fukaya which quickly turns into them having sex in the changing room. After Fukaya quips how nice it is that they can have sex in public since she is so quiet, Fujino takes it to mean that he would really like her to be more vocal when they are doing it. With no real way to fix this problem she ends up as Mita’s house, the girl who is always trying to steal Fukaya away from her, for a little vocal training. You can only imagine where that takes the two of them, especially with their vibrators and double dildo...

Not satisfied with just having sex with Fujino however, Mita discovers a secret love potion that she decides to give to Fukaya in an effort to make him hers forever. That doesn’t really work out as planned however, for not only doesn’t it make him fall in love with her, but it also makes him impotent. As possibly the worst thing that could happen to him short of dying, these girls go into a sex frenzy in an effort to perk him up. But not even playing with his ass (that is not a plus in my book) is able to give him the power to stand on his own. Whatever will they do to get the old Fukaya back!?!?!

While it’s great to have Fujino back in action, this sequel does not live up to the original in just about any way. Not that it’s bad by any means, but there are a number of issues. The main one has to simply do with the content, there’s nothing really new here that the first one didn’t have. Content aside, it’s the technical aspects that torpedo Strange Kind of Woman ~Again~, which is really sad since the first one looked so good. Between the strange character appearances (Mita’s hair often looks simply atrocious) and the less than fulfilling animation hinder what should have been a great looking OVA, even if they had just continued on with the same quality from the first one. The voice acting is still the same as before however, though with such a quiet girl as Fujino you’re not getting much out of her to begin with. Neither release has been licensed yet, but the censoring isn’t too bad, you’ll be more concerned about the drop in animation and detail quality than anything else.

Strange Kind of Woman ~Again~ is another fun romp with one of my favorite hentai girls, Fujino. It’s tough to screw that up, but they weren’t doing themselves any favors with reduced technical quality and repeating the same type of content. Still in all, a fun watch and one that you shouldn’t miss, especially if you're a fan of the first.
