  Elf dick makes it better, fight me

  TAG WARNING : Futa but guy doesn’t get fucked in the ass though he does suck the dick

  EDIT : Episode 2 is dogshit for the most part, the ending shows Erica going off on her journey which is pretty nice but for the most part you could just leave it at Episode 1

  It has been a hot minute since I last watched a hentai, everything I tried in the past few months has felt bland, unoriginal and lifeless. However, during a Discord call while getting my friends to name a hentai based on the synopsis I stumbled upon some hentai that actually piqued my interest including Kohakurio no Hunter (also the futa tag helped quite a bit). Finally after so long I sat through an entire hentai and found myself not disgusted at the horny monster residing within myself because not only is this hentai rather wholesome but it also had heart.

  Story : 6

  This hentai actually lacks much of a story, which is to be expected since it is just a promo for an erogame so in that regard some of the glaring issues, such as cutting to snippets of another character, can be forgiven. While the world building isn’t super interesting off the bat, it does intrigue the viewer and invites them to come and explore the world of Kohakurio no Hunter. What it does well is in the characters, emotionally involving us in our female lead while exploring her past and how it will affect her future, giving us context for her actions and building the foundation of her character. So while normally I would give the story a 4 or 5 since this is a one-shot and it doesn’t make sense to leave it as it is, I will forgive it under these circumstances since it is meant to be a precursor to the erogame.

  Art and Animation : 8

  There may be people outraged over the fact that I gave this hentai such a high score however I will stand firm in my statement that this hentai earned every single point. First and foremost, I am not blind and I do see how unrefined the artstyle is with certain animations being very obviously cycled for a bit too long, yet to my eye it still looks a million times better than the rest of the new age of hentai which are in my opinion much too shiny and formulaic. To me, this hentai has heart behind it and while it makes sacrifices in quality, it makes up for those sacrifices with little details which overall build up to a great viewing experience that feels novel in this day and age. During the sex scene, they play with difference camera angles, adding the drops of liquid obscuring some of the view and as they dance together into the night the light dims and we begin to feel the intimacy between the two grow with the cooler blue tones enveloping them. These little things just express that real people who care about their craft worked and thought this through which really made my viewing experience that much better.

  Characters : 7

  Within a single episode, we are introduced to our main leads Erika and Azul with the opening shot quickly establishing the dynamic between the two, with Erika being very comfortable around Azul and Azul’s romantic interest in Erika being laid out plain as day. With Erika’s conversations with the priest they establish the monster problem of the village leading to the actual fight where we see Azul lose his father who dies protecting him. In the aftermath, Erika’s discussion with the priest and sister introduces us to Erika’s backstory of how she was saved and also how she is able to understand Azul since she has had her fair share of traumatic experiences. We see the culmination of this in the final act when Erika gets Azul to open up to her and through reciprocation of love she is able to comfort him and help him face the future.

  Within a 30 minute episode, this hentai is able to establish the framework of the character as well as providing the motivations for her future actions to become an adventurer which sets up for the erogame. Once again, the characters aren’t the most interesting ones in the world and really it falls to the art here as to why some of the character development doesn’t work out too well. We see the harrowing tale of a boy seemingly losing his only family and yet it doesn’t feel that impactful as his reclusivity is way too quickly washed away by Erika’s embrace. Ideally, this opening story would’ve worked much better given a better budget as I envision something akin to Vinland Saga’s prologue where Thorfinn loses his father and that's where he withdraws himself however it is a hentai at the end of the day. Personally I would’ve cut down on the sex and had Erika spend more time drawing Azul out of his depressive state which would’ve felt more natural however the end goal really seems to be adding greater stakes to Erika’s journey as she connects with someone who would be crushed if she perished. While it is generally quite mediocre, they had to cram that all into 30 minutes which is plenty when there are more adventures to be had in the erogame.

  Music : 10

  I’m going to take this section to gush over the opening song because it bops, it bops hard. Honestly in terms of the audio of this show, it was a bit lackluster and while the VAs did a serviceable job the real issue was the ambient sounds and the audio mixing however that isn’t what I want to talk about. I just need to link the song on YouTube

  
  , take a listen as it makes a world of difference in comparison to how it sounded on the hentai. Of course they had a decent budget considering it is the opening of the erogame itself but for a hentai this is something I would legitimately put into my playlist, I mean I already have.

  Enjoyment : 8

  While objectively this is quite a mediocre hentai, I personally had a great time. It has been a while since I felt life from a hentai as I’ve watched a couple bad shows in a row which either scarred me far too much or just hit me the wrong way. In comparison, Kohakuiro no Hunter was filled to the brim with personality in all the stylistic choices it was allowed with a great OP to boot. It has been a highlight of my month so far and has gotten me back into the swing of things in terms of watching hentai. Also the elf dick was good, I mean it wasn’t necessary but like all the other little things in this hentai it just made the viewing experience feel that much better.
