30/100Once you get past the whole gay shota thing, it's... well, no, it's still pretty average for a hentai.Continue on AniListBoku no Pico is a gay shota hentai. If you had any misconceptions about that, I hope they have been cleared up. It's also the first gay OR shota hentai I've watched, as far as I can remember, thus killing two broads with one testicle. I may be a harsh critic, but there's absolutely nothing I just plain won't watch. I'm told it's also the first hentai anime of its kind. I have no idea if this is true or not, but it's certainly the first I've seen.
Story: The story of this episode is of Pico, a young crossdressing boy working at his grandfather's bar for the summer, and the 24-year-old man he's left with by his no-fucks-given elder. The two of them very quickly start an explicit relationship. All NAMBLA jokes aside, it's a fairly sweet story, if not very inspired. I didn't despise it, but at the same time, there's not much good to say about it from a purely writing perspective. The plot moves very unrealistically quickly, jumping almost immediately from meeting to sex, and the conflict in the episode is perhaps the most generic and overused in any love story, bringing nothing new to the table at all. Truthfully, the fact that the romantic partner is a young boy is completely inconsequential to the plot. You could replace Pico with an 18+ girl with exactly the same reactions and lines of dialogue and you'd have a very cookie-cutter hentai series that still made perfect sense. Not that I'm saying he should be an 18+ girl; rather, I'm saying that if a story is about man-boy love, it should be at least in some way reflected in the plot, rather than taking a standard, overused formula and lazily replacing the female love interest with a shota.
Art: The artwork is actually fairly strong in this series. Very pretty, cleanly drawn, and even cute. Animation was fluid, and overall, I have no complaints to speak of. The creators are quite fond of man-nipples. You don't see those too often in anime.
Sound: I've heard complaints about some of the sound effects used in this series, but having seen many more hentai series than the people issuing said complaints, I can say that they're nothing new and nothing that hasn't been used before. The Japanese voice acting was sweet and well-delivered, and the soundtrack suited the series very well. Again, well-rounded in all aspects.
Suffice it to say, Boku no Pico met all the minimum standards in place for hentai, making it a fairly average--perhaps even above average--entry in the world of hentai. In retrospect, I can say with confidence that I've seen many which were much, much worse, somewhat sloppy writing aside. Still, for having a generically sweet storyline, and for making boys cute again (as opposed to all the ugly old bastards I've grown accustomed to seeing in hentai), I wouldn't mind recommending this series to anyone interested in guys and/or shota, vanilla.

This was me just before I decided to watch Boku no Pico. Like many other I've seen the 'REACTS TO BOKU NO PICO' videos or endured friends constantly recommending me to watch this 'great show', it has become the butt end of the anime community in the same ranks as 177013. So when I realized I had not actually watched it, turned off because it was constantly brought up jokingly, in lieu of my recent activity I thought it was essential to watch it so I gave Boku no Pico a shot and received it with an open mind. To my surprise, I completely enjoyed my experience but with an asterisk. I will delve into what made the show, in my opinion, a master work but to touch on this asterisk it was that I took it as a male to futanari show as I have never enjoyed yaoi hentai which made the show much easier to swallow. This is the main weakness of the show, since many people immediately get uncomfortable because they know SPOILERS that Pico is a boy. One of the scenes that is very famous is the ice cream car scene where many people react surprised to discover this when it is shown in the opening song. I do not like this shock value culture that Boku no Pico is labelled as, showing off random scenes without context takes away from it's storytelling and pacing which is why it gets such a bad rap. Once people get over this hurdle and try it out as a whole work, I think like me others will appreciate the value of this show taken as a pure hentai.
Story : 9
Boku no Pico has a basic story about a lonely white collar worker finding company in the most unlikely of places, namely in the mouth of a presumably underaged boy who works in his cafe. Although the plot is basic and doesn't really go anywhere, the way the show is edited together and how the storyboard progresses sells the experience to me. (I will try to stay away from specifics so as not to spoil the show) The show starts of in a tense establishing scene that immediately tells us what kind of relationship our main character and Pico have and the 'teasing' aspect of the first few scenes pay dividends as they really make the 'climax' of the show feel earned. We get fleeting shots that tease what is to come and makes us think about the scenes that introduce us to the show which keep the viewer engaged. Thinking critically, this is a hentai and it is supposed to help us get off which is what Boku no Pico excels at as it teases us, then edges us closer and closer until we get the pay off at the end that cements the experience in my mind above and beyond what other hentai has every helped me achieve. It is good for the story to elevate a hentai, however Boku no Pico's pacing and storytelling made the show for me.
Art : 8
The show was made in 2006 so we have to take that into account when marking it up. I gave it such a high score because of how memorable it is able to make it's characters where if the beginning of a scene is shown many people are able to recognize it almost instinctively. As I mentioned in the beginning, I used the 'chicks with dicks' mentality to cope with the show and this is what the artists gave us by making Pico so effeminate. Having this believable female aesthetic to Pico saved me from trashing this show along with the great storytelling. The rest of the elements such as background feel like the anime of the time which didn't stand out too much but never dipped in quality that took you out of the experience
Sound : 8
The sound gets above average marks for including an OP/ED song and the background music which helped build the tense atmosphere of each sexual scene that would've felt lackluster otherwise. Having the music be there then be absent created a sense of unease which mirrored the teasing and edging flow of the show. The sound also helped me cope with the show in having a contrast of masculine and feminine voices for our main leads which strengthens my argument that Pico is a girl since his VA is also a female.
Character : 7
The main letdown for this show was really the character development to the end of the show. At the beginning and middle we get this great character growth that we see very subtly in the little things that the character's say and do. We see how Pico becomes more and more comfortable with Tamotsu as their dialogue changes and he talks more sexually about their past activities yet we still see his shy demeanor when Tamotsu tells him to crossdress. Tamotsu as always stays brazen with what he wants Pico to do which is acceptable as it allows us to witness Pico's personality change little by little until the breakpoint. My only gripe with the show is how rushed and unexplained the ending felt as I wish they had just added some heavier hints leading up to the climax of Pico's dynamic character shift as well as how the ending was resolved.
I swear I'm not gay guys but Boku no Pico took my on a wild ride and it was probably, in the context of hentai helps us achieve, the best hentai I have watched in terms of raw usefulness. It had the best pacing of a hentai with its not too heavy plot and teasing moments that gave us the pay-off we were anticipating towards the end. It was conservative with it's sex scenes which we do not see nowadays as MC-kun usually trips on his own feet and ends up endlessly railing girls for the next 30 minutes. I'd like to shout out Tamotsu, the pedophilic crossdress-fetishizing freak, for making Pico crossdress and helping reaffirm where my sexuality lay. I swear I am still heterosexual and Pico is totally a futanari. I would also like to say that I do not condone child pornography and this should be taken purely as an artistic expression. It's an all in one fap for me boys, it'll take you on a ride that I can guarantee once you get over the moral hurdle of child yaoi porn.

"We'll see each other again, right?"
-PicoIt’s what I’ve would have expected from a shota, and even though it’s my 1st one, it was enjoyable
-Story 8/10
Now, the story was great in the 1st entry, although it could have done a better job in telling that story, it seems like this storyline was a bit shorter than the other entries, the same thing goes for the 2nd entry, the characters where introduced in a manner where the personality can be seen, however, like the 1st entry, the story seems to be short and more focused on the sexual scenes. This is different however in the 3rd entry. This time the story seems to be part of the show, with having more influence on the characters while still having a decent amount of sex scenes and so on, by the end of the 3rd entry, it gave a lot of a plot and gave a little bit of taste of storytelling in a way.-Art 9/10
This series was animated in a time where I’m a bit unknown of.
The art itself was great, and although it was censored, if you tried hard enough you can get passed it and enjoy its full potential. The character design was also great, seeing how someone would confuse them as girls, that’s is what a shota animation is supposed to do, they where cute and girlish, and the fact that they cross-dress was amazing, it really got me to think if their girls or boys, but aside from that, the sex scenes where well made, it really depicted the movement and the shaking of someone’s body during these kinds of situations. Although the reason why it got a 9, was mainly because I prefer watching something a bit more recent, this is when someone has only watched purely modern anime, which this can a new experience and not enjoy the show due to the art.-Sound 10/10
One of the important parts of any type of media, Sound. The sounds effects in the show were great and put at the right moment, the rustle of the bedsheets, footsteps, all that stuff is all cued and played at the right time with the sound. The voice acting was also great, the voices were great for the characters and the voices matched the personality of the characters and the quality of the voices was amazing, even though some of the mouthings was a bit off at times, this happens any Anime.-Character 10/10
I liked the characters for what they are, they like to tease each other which is very amusing. The way they interact, is like they been friends for a long time, even though they meant each other on that same day, and the personalities are also great for all the characters, the interaction with these shotas is inspiring, what I mean by that, is that you can be good friends by sharing something in common, even though it this example is having sexual acts with your fellow boy.-Enjoyment 10/10
This series was something that I enjoyed very much because of the sexualization in the scenes, the moaning, the sounds, everything I enjoyed, it really got me to rethink my fetishes, this was a fucking bombshell, and I enjoyed it to the point where I had to stop looking at it for the scenes…-Overall 9/10
The entire trilogy of 33min Episodes was something new to me, it was something that I would have never expected to enjoy when someone recommended me to this for the 1st time, although, it something I would sit and watch it again just to relive the moment of a new experience for me.
This show was what I would call “Something to watch, but, if you are mature”
