The first episode of this hentai is like this weird psychological romance that this android and researcher have, but in a really interesting amd subtly done way. There’s powerful and scary references to sexual trauma, PTSD, and the pure evil that powerful people often afflict on women, just how far they’ll go for pleasure. After watching so much anime lately that likes to wears their emotions on their sleeves, just a lot of colorful, bouncy stuff, Stainless Night is refreshing for its dreamlike and sometimes even somber, but not out-of-place tone. It’s warm and cozy but also cold and grounded. I feel like compared to
...
a lot of anime I’ve watched lately, Stainless Night has this tense and layered narrative that doesn’t seem like much at first but definitely had thoughtful intent
The H scenes are for the most part, romantic, realistic and animated beautifully.
Episode 2 honestly sucks though for me. Other than the elaboration on Linia’s backstory, it just takes a really nasty turn for all of the characters and both the villain and ending are weak. The H scenes also weren’t as emotionally compelling, though the animation was still stellar.
I wish I could rate this higher but it just doesn’t have enough time to grow and develop the characters for its context.
The scene where Linia electrocutes the other android during sex is extremely well-done. Grotesque, horrifying, highlights the sleaziness of where she came from and you can feel how traumatic it is.
Watch episode 1, then watch the part of episode 2 with Linia’s backstory and you’re pretty much fine.

This one was awful. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but still pretty bad.
The first thing that’s easy to notice is that the anime’s logic doesn’t really make any sense when it comes to who you should be rooting for and who you shouldn’t be rooting for. This might work if this series was more philosophical and played on these themes in a reflective way, but because it doesn’t acknowledge these double standards at all, it’s very jarring.
For example: At the beginning of the show, Hotaru torments Yuma in almost the exact same way that Fujiwara torments Hotaru.
...
Multiple times, Hotaru sexually assaults Yuma and it’s always played off as a “joke” or “practice” when Yuma is extremely uncomfortable, but when Fujiwara does it to Hotaru, it’s one of the major plot points in showing how fucked up he really is.
The two best characters were Hotaru and Takeda. I don’t like Hotaru, but admittedly the way she’s written makes her rather intriguing. That being said, her backstory and circumstances don’t really explain why her views are so warped other than “wah, she was teased sometimes!” She’s horribly manipulative towards Yuma for the entirety of the series but also seems to want good things for her? Her motivations are really hard to understand and I was already soured towards her during the very first episode when she pulls her shit in the bathroom with Yuma. It’s really uncomfortable to watch knowing that the viewer is supposed to be rooting for them to be together.
Yuma was a really one-note and bland character but it sucks watching her be constantly assaulted by Hotaru.
Fujiwara is hilariously villainous. It’s hard to take him seriously when he’s so unapologetically horrible.
Takeda was the best. He was a little bit boring but I thought his reactions were realistic and you could tell that he really did care about Yuma. He was a supportive friend the whole way though, never tried anything weird and even though he was hurt by her liking Hotaru he was a good guy despite it. Not just because he’s a good guy, as I prefer morally grey characters anyways, but he was the most realistically written and it was satisfying that he did actually get fed up with Yuma constantly blowing him off because she was honestly being a pretty shitty girlfriend.
The animation is pretty bad and the way a lot of the angles were drawn were atrocious. In the first couple of episodes, there was a shot where Takeda should have clearly been able to see Yuma and Hotaru in the bath house but the show is written to where he’s not supposed to be viewing them nearly at all (just the top of their heads I think?)
The art style is boring and overly simple, the character designs don’t stand out at all but it was cool that the characters had a lot of different outfits they wore, unlike a lot of anime. Some of them were actually pretty visually appealing.
The music is there. It exists.
The slow pace was nice but the last couple of episodes felt a lot more rushed in comparison, as did the beginning (you have to shove as much ecchi as possible in the front-half so people keep watching until the ending!)
Convoluted, melodramatic and frustrating are the three words I would use to describe this show. But it is a pretty funny hate-watch, so at least there’s that.
Also, doesn’t NTR typically refer to marriage?

I didn’t understand why this was rated so low at first, and then I discovered it was because people were mad at the sudden ending. Then I read the manga, and was much more satisfied after that.
Sasameki Koto is one of those yuri shows that I feel like deserves more attention. Nice art style, good music (although, a bit lacking at times,) and the comedy is great. As a girl who like girls myself, I can safely say I enjoyed it thoroughly.
This is one of those rare yuri anime that caught my interest more quickly than the others, because the plot isn’t just “new
...
shy and meek transfer student girl has a crush on the strong and powerful school star girl.”
Sumika Murasame is portrayed as strong due to her karate skills, but she’s also portrayed as a total dork trying to get Ushio’s attention and it’s adorable. (Also, these sorts of yuri tales are almost always shown in the point of view of the “softer” girl.) Ushio is great because she’s wonderfully oblivious of Sumika’s love, and she’s quite overt about her feelings for girls that’s both comedic and empowering.
I also enjoyed the side characters. Kiyori is cheerfully blunt and Tomoe’s particularly interesting for a princely type.
On the other hand, I despised Miyako and Aoi. Their existence brought down my score a little, actually. Aoi especially grinded my gears with her over-the-top persona.
Another thing that brought down my score was the fact that the last few episodes (aside from 11, I suppose,) were pretty filler. There’s even a few filler chapters after that in the manga, which I believe could have been cut completely and replaced with the ending from the first manga omnibus.
As for sound, hit or miss. The soundtrack was nice at times but boring at others. The main song “Kiss,” is delightful, and the theme song in my opinion is amazing. But the music at least never feels overly out of place, even if boring at times.
I suppose that’s all I really have to say for now. Hope you agreed with some of my points.
