First review, big whoop. Kinda spoiler free.

Amakano is probably a portmanteau of Sweet and Girl/Girlfriend. It's a vanilla series based off a homonymous visual novel (that I haven't read), and depicts part of what I assume to be the playroutes of all three girls. There's one girl for each of the first three episodes, and then shorter scenes with all three in the additional episode to finish the four.

Believable settings or storylines are almost unrelated to enjoyment for me in a hentai. Especially relevant in an anime based off a visual novel, where sexual scenes usually represent considerable progress along a relationship route. I wasn't ... put off by anything story-wise so that gets a solid 5.

My completely biased opinion is that the art was fine. Each girl had decent aesthetic appeal, distinguishing facial features and it was easy to notice changes in expression from scene to scene. I didn't notice any glaring errors, the detail on their hairstyles was pretty good, and they looked great during sex. Even got two three angles per act which was nice (and a decent range of positions). I didn't feel the colour palette was dull, but the lighting could have been better. Overall a good 7.

The voices fit the characters and ranges of emotion and excitement were well-conveyed. There was plenty of dialogue exchanged before, during and after the scenes so it didn't suffer from any major awkwardness. The lines were stock, but the sound effects were decent, and the protagonist stayed fairly quiet when sessions got more intense. This will take a bit of a knock though, because I disliked the voice/performance over the strawberry-blonde which unfortunately offended my ears and 'viewing experience'. I think another 6 is fair.

Wasn't keen on the main character, but it's not particularly important. The girls were likeable enough, but unmemorable. I was satisfied that each girl's portrayed in a light that brings adorableness to the fore/ suggests greatest devotion to the protagonist. I won't remember any of their names (days from now) or anything unique about their personalities, so I won't go above a 7.

It was a mellow, pleasant watch. Didn't quite have me scrambling for a box of tissues, but I would recommend it to someone who liked vanilla hentai.
