From ANN –
3rd Isshoni Project by Primastea to Ship This Fall
…The Isshoni franchise launched in April of 2009 with Isshoni Training: Training with Hinako (pictured at right), an exercise video with an anime girl that became a surprise hit and sold 13,300 copies in its first two weeks. The second project, Isshoni Sleeping: Sleeping with Hinako, launched in February with the title character returning for a “pleasant sleeping and alarm clock” anime.
Ray’s take: I dunno, after watching the first one with my mind wondering and fastforwarding through the second one, I’m beginning to wonder if this is marketed toward cowards who are too afraid to be caught with real hentail or ecchi series. For boobage (despite of) with deep plots and characters, I commend Queen’s Blade and for exercise sex…Aren’t there hentai anime made about exercise girls that actually delivers the goods? And for a virtual, sweet girlfriend, I think there’s something called “virtual girlfriend”. I guess Fucking Together would totally be too dirty for the audience, eh? XD The art of being ecchi but sweet cum not on screen is certainly difficult for me to understand! XD
I think those titles are geared for guys who have a fantasy… for hentai – it gets quite boring after a while.. so this is an interesting turn for the mind.
I really don’t know what to say about these. Like you, I watched the Training and FFW’d through sleeping. I mean, I can’t say they were horrendous if I watched both, ne? I can honestly say, I do not know how to rate this accurately. The audience intended was not me. However, Hinako is a moe-blob, so there is a small amount of appeal. I think. No idea. I’ll get back to you after watching this new one.
What’s the feeling that I get when I watch these…NOT quite hitting the spot? It’s like opening an Asahi Nama and only allowed to take a couple of sips of it. It’s not quite hitting the spot. Yeah, let me know what you think about it.
