Orchid Emblem

Going through my older reviews, I came across a mention of this hentai and realized it was missing from the database, which was a shame... So, it's here now, and I can rate my first encounter with Japanese animated pornography. For a seventeen-year-old boy at the turn of the millennium, who had never seen anything like it before and who, watching shows like Yu-gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Case Closed on the RTLII channel, hadn't actually thought that cartoon characters could (or should) have sex, it was a groundbreaking experience. Until then, it hadn't occurred to me that I might find hentai interesting, or that it might broaden my horizons concerning Japanese animation. I guess I was also lucky that I stumbled upon this fairly (un)ordinary revenge story that does (not) turn out as planned, and I’m glad I didn’t see some nasty tentacle hentai first... Honestly, I liked it a lot at the time, the story was passable, the scenes were just right, and even the censorship was kind of okay. My seventeen-year-old self enjoyed Orchid Emblem very much. It expanded my horizons, and I still consider it a slightly above-average hentai (at least it has an interesting story). Of course, given all my nostalgic memories, I'm going to be severely biased, to use a sexual analogy - you never forget the first time... (11/22/2022)
