It's been awhile since my last review.
"Remember, everyone. Today is always the most enjoyable day!"
Yotsuba&! is a manga series written and illustrated by Kiyohiko Azuma. It has a simple concept to it but at the same time; doesn't really have any coherent story to it. It's a slice of life manga about a 5 year old girl named Yotsuba who gets into mischief and adventures in her town. I find this manga to be very cute and fun to read because of Yotsuba's personality and how the supporting cast interacts with her and her mischief, she's just so innocent and naive to the world around
...
her. All of the characters in this manga series are very genuine and likeable. Mr. Koiwai and Mrs. Ayase's interactions were quite funny in the beginning of the series, but it doesn't really progressed to much.
The art style complements the characters quite well. It has a cutesy child-like style which gives the series a non-serious light hearted mood when reading.
Honestly, it's a shame how this very funny and cute manga series hasn't been adapted into an Anime series yet.
This manga also has a soundtrack as well. This soundtrack would be perfect for the anime adaptation (If that ever comes):

Literally best hentai if you're into Loli. Really top notch animation and amazing voice acting too, it just sounds real enough to not get you arrested. I don't really have anything else to say besides that. Episode 3 had a really cute lesbian scene with so much emotion in the voice acting, every moan sounded really cute and innocent without sounding too overly dramatic. The story itself doesn't really go anywhere but there is such a diverse cast of different characters with really cute and designs that plot won't matter at all. My only complaint is the oldman shopkeeper. He was fucking weird.
8/10, good sound,
...
animation and characters.

SPOILER FREE*
This is probably one of the most well animated and most enjoyable post 2010 hentai I've seen in awhile. I've always been a fan of early to late 2000's hentai mainly because, back then the industry didn't rely so heavily on cute and smooth animation to be hot unlike nowadays, but instead relied on pushing the boundaries on what animation can and cannot do in a sexual context. Personally I found the plots to be more wicked and exhilarating then than now with Japanese animation in general.
Energy Kyouka!! Excels in both animation, sound and plot. You know a hentai is good when you're
...
not even horny and you still watch it, I've done this many times with this series. There's something about the bathroom scene in the first episode which makes me feel excited and want to fuck my own computer. This hentai helped me change my mind about EDGE (The company responsible for the animation), I felt as if 2016 was a good year for them releasing very hot and sexy masterpiece titles such as "Energy Kyouka!!" and "Dropout". Looking back at this, if it wasn't for EDGE's 2018 comeback failure of "Cherry and Gals" I would've put them up there with the kings of hentai, that being Bunnywalker, and PinkPineapple. Energy Kyouka!! Will always have a special place in my heart as one of the most fun and exciting hentai of all time as both Reona and Kyouka have very good synergy and you could feel an intense rivalry between the two characters. I especially liked Erina (Reona's mom) and the fun which she had with her maids the most as something so minor was able to make erotic tensions go up for me personally.
Overall this is one of EDGE's magnum opus's and it will be very difficult task for them to out do this and Dropout. I give it an overall 8/10 and is a good starter hentai for those new into the hentai game as it isn't too fucked up in anyway. Personally one of my Top 20 hentai.

Vento Aureo is the 5th Part of JoJo's Bizzare Adventure and follows the adventures of Giorno Giovanna and his dream to become a gang leader of the most powerful gang in all of Italy a gang named Passione; through the help of Bruno Bucciarati and his gang. This one of my favorite Parts/Arcs in JoJo because of its incredible stand fights. The stand battles seemed to be a lot more brutal than in the previous parts. I also found part 5 to be one of the most unpredictable of all the JoJo parts, a good example of this is in 'The Grateful Dead' story arc.
...
Each stand fight in this part was more memorable than the last and actually you as the reader actually get feelings of satisfaction each and every time these enemy stands were defeated. From parts 1 to 7 Araki had a very formulaic way of storytelling. It was to give the main protagonist an objective. The story would solely center around the main protagonist and his/her friends trying to reach this objective. Whether that'd be to kill an immortal vampire, to catch a serial killer, or to get to Egypt.
In order to keep the reader invested in the story; there would need to be some obstacles along the way to minimize the protagonist's chances of reaching to this objective. Araki's way of keeping the reader invested in the journey to this goal/objective is to introduce a concept I'd like to call a 'Stand-user of the week' formula. Where, in each new chapter/story arc within a part in JoJo, there would be a new enemy stand user each chapter for our group of heroes to fight until they reach to the main villain. These fights help the development of not just the main character but can also help us understand more about the supporting cast which further helps us understand the story. In my opinion, Vento Aureo excels at this 'Stand-user of the week' formula because of how much more unforgiving and resilient these enemies are compared to previous Parts in JoJo. You could take any of the minor villains seen in Part 5 and make them the main villain (except for Squalo and Tiziano) and they'd still be able to pull off a great satisfying performance. I feel this is something which the earlier parts lacked in; since it focused on the main villain too much and it just ends up being a ladder which our main character has to metaphorically climb and they are only able to climb through defeating enemy stand users, getting him closer and closer to the main villain. In early part 4 and the second season of Stardust Crusaders the ladder felt too easy to climb for our main characters because of lame stand abilities and lazy motivations for minor antagonists who do evil things for the main villain did something for them. In Vento Aureo the climbing of this metaphorical ladder is fast at first because our main character isn't a real threat to the main villain yet. But as we Bucciarati's gang start to unpiece and start to learn little by little about the identity of the main villain, the ladder starts to shake and wobble a little bit and important things start to fall off, and this is how we know Bucciarati's gang are finally seen as a threat to the main villain. We see our Bucciarati's gang struggle more and more to stay on this ladder the closer as the closer they get to their objective as steaks get higher and enemies get more difficult to kill. Another thing I like about Vento Aureo is that our main villain, Diavolo who is the leader Passione; one of the most powerful gangs in all of Italy, doesn't appear until the very near of the story which keeps the reader on their feet as each chapter gives them a clue about him. This is what Part's 1, 2, and 3 failed to do and it made each stand fight feel like a chore and the surprise factor of the main villain is gone.
Vento Aureo had a good roster of stands and characters, all with very strong and unique abilities. It's a common trend for me to end up liking the supporting characters in JoJo over the main protagonist; Vento Aureo takes the cake for having the most likable team of protagonists prominent within JoJo. In my opinion, Bucciarati's gang was the most impressive likable out of any of the JoJo groups prior. Unlike in Parts 1 through 4, the allies of Part 5's JoJo group aren't introduced into the story one by one (Bucciarati as an exception). Unlike in previous Parts of JoJo instead of it being the supporting cast as the ones introduced to the main character and reader; we see the main character and the reader being introduced to the supporting cast. This, I find to be a better way of introducing the characters because; both the reader and Giorno have no idea who can and can't be trusted in this Bucciarati's gang. This helps the reader get into the metaphorical shoes of Giorno to better help better understand him as a character and how he feels about the members of Bucciarati's gang which helps with character development as the story continues. And because of this, one of the characters Giorno respects and talks to the most is Bruno Bucciarati who has developed into my favorite character in all of JoJo. Bruno Bucciarati's most important character traits are his righteousness and his natural kindness. Bucciarati is dedicated to take the most honorable course of action, even if he puts his life at risk. Which is why he aids Giorno to defeat Diavolo. He understands the risks of trying to take down one of the most powerful men in all of Italy but does it anyway because he believes in Giorno's determination will better Passione and the rest of Italy under Giorno's control. Some of my other favorite characters include Narancia for his childlike and innocent (to some degree) personality, Mista who went from being a comic relief who noticeably more serious and active when faced with the possibility of impending battle or danger, and Risotto, a short-lived but incredibly important minor antagonist with a scary metal manipulation stand called 'Metallica' which manifests itself inside Risotto's body as a swarm of small metallic beings with stitches across their individual bodies which are designed to look like an attempt to fill his metaphorically broken soul.
I do have problems with Vento Aureo, firstly, the ending seemed rushed and I wanted to know more. Luckily, the light novel 'Purple Haze Feedback' tells us about the what happens 6 months after the events of Vento Aureo. Even though 'Purple Haze Feedback' isn't canon to the story it still makes Vento Aureo feel complete. Also, another problem I had with Vento Aureo was that there were barely any breaks for the stand battles. There was really nothing to give the reader a break from all the fighting and action. But I will say that I personally think Vento Aureo has the second best art style out of all the JoJo parts next to SRB/Part 7 because of the unique facial structures and cool stand designs.
Other than all that I've decided to give Vento Aureo an 8/10.
I apologise if this review didn't make much sense. I am still very new at this.

The plot seemed too simple but at the same time confusing (Much like your average JoJo episode), and had the mood and bizarreness to it that part 4 had and had me wanting to know more, making things feel like a mystery. 'Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan' has basically zero context to it and tries to distance itself from the original universe and normally each chapter in the manga is unchronological and isn't linked to the next one. So watching this OVA starting at 'Episode 5: Millionaire Village' felt really weird it had zero context felt as if they just threw things at you expecting for
...
you to understand what's going on. I understand that 'Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan' is a series of one-shots but it still felt really confusing.
Personally, I'm not too much of a fan of the animation. It's a real pain to look at and looks horrible in motion, but I'll give it credit for looking very similar to its source material. On another note, I found the voice acting to be average/to what I expect from Takahiro Sakurai as Rohan; but I couldn't take the crying noises from Kyoka Izumi, seriously it sounded like the kind of crying you'd hear from a shitty school production. I really wanted to like this OVA, but in all honesty, it made me angry and upset that part 5 was delayed for this (My favorite part). I had a hard time understanding the plot. I mean this OVA is set many years after the evens of part 4 right? Why were Koichi and Okuyasu still wearing their school uniform?
The opening was nice and had some Harry Potter vibes to it. It sounded mysterious and creepy which really helped set the tone of this OVA until I saw the rest of the animation. Anyways, I really do appreciate the effort and time that David Productions put into making this. It felt new, yet it had a familiar part 4 style to it reminding us that it was still JoJo. This got me excited for part 5 and the future for JoJo OVA animated spin-offs, I hope David Productions doesn't just adapt JoJo one-shots but also adapt the light novels too, which in my opinion would help viewers transition a lot more easily from JoJo one part to another a lot without having the part that they were on feel incomplete. I hope in the future we get to see a 'Purple Haze Feedback' OVA animated adaption and a 'Dead Man's Questions' OVA to help make parts 4 and 5 feel more complete.
I give 'Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 5: Millionaire Village' a 5/10. I recommend only watching this if you want to satisfy that hunger for more JoJo content and if you're a fan of Rohan of course.
My first review.
