https://i.ur.com/b8cvsEf.gif Today I will be talking about a show that hit me different and was quite an unique and interesting watch to me. I initially saw this show because the title The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat is very fucking funny to me . What I initially watched as a joke has now became a show that I have seen 3 times and look back on fondly it is still kinda a joke though lol lol . Come child let me tell you why. https://i.ur.com/4eb2FHt.gif What Makes This Show Special To Me? I want you to look and think about all the female leads in popular romance anime in this day and age. 22https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kitagawamarin2.png 22https://wallpaperaccess.in/public/uploads/preview/shikimorimicchonthatgirlisnotjustcutewallpaperw.png 22https://imageswixmped30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/52376b0c57144e57976b21ae4387187b/dewmuni9f6e97fe94764c2fb46531d30fcf6fe3.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzUyMzc2YjBjLTU3MTQtNGU1Ny05NzZiLTIxYWU0Mzg3MTg3YlwvZGV3bXVuaS05ZjZlOTdmZS05NDc2LTRjMmYtYjQ2NS0zMWQzMGZjZjZmZTMucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.er8eXFS5D5b7mA7NvsV1fBCDC9iJ5D0PaqwdA4lg7w 22https://i.pin.com/originals/6d/e1/f4/6de1f461ba864018a2c58a6ef608dc07.png The Female leads in romance anime/manga are usually very perfect. Yes I know I am being hypocritical here because well they are not fully perfect and most of them do have some flaws which makes them human but I could argue that these flaws are usually very trivial or can actually make them more cute. There is nothing wrong with that after all it is a romance . They are gonna be characters who are attractive or perfect. I know there are some romances where the characters are flawed for eg. Tsunderes if that counts. But I am going to say that the number of these shows are relatively less compared to the perfect/attractive types. So What Makes This Show So Special? If you ask me that question I would say the reason I find this show to be interesting and unique is because it has characters who have major flaws in personality and not one or two of them. no no no. All Of Them. It doesnt shy away from showing their bad sides and it has quite good and interesting writing that I liked a lot. Lastly despite being a romance ecchi anime if ecchi or lolis put you off then I wont recommend this to you lol it manages to portray themes like SelfAcceptance and Family quite well. https://files.catbox.moe/2qn918.png IMG25https://files.catbox.moe/uno2ez.png Now You Arent Gonna Watch This Anime Anyways because this season is already packed af so why not just continue reading please : https://i.ur.com/4eb2FHt.gif Facades And SelfAcceptance Faade : a deceptive outward appearance. I am sure all of us have lived / are living under some kind of facades. Maybe we regretted it or still continue to do so. The first arc of the anime has two characters who are living in facades themselves i.e. These two. 45https://files.catbox.moe/bvbjmj.jpg 45https://static.zerochan.net/Yokodera.Youto.full.2642016.jpg Yokodera Our Male Lead gives his facades to Azusa Azuki the girl who actually wants a faade. Now call me an overanalyzing anime reviewer man but I think there is a nice lesson on faade and self acceptance here. Yokodera learns that the lack of his faade of pretending to be not be a pervert was actually helping him. He learns that during the lack of it everyone in his class started to hate him for his actions and he himself couldnt do as much perverted stuff as he used to lol . What he thought was a part of himself that he needed to get rid of was actually was he needed the most. While Yokodera learns that his faade was actually necessary for him Azusa learns that her faade was actually hurting her instead of helping her. After being teased and bullied in her past she thought she must became this incredible and powerful person so that it would not occur again. I can relate because I too have been bullied and teased for a short period of 10 years of my life . When in reality she just had to accept herself and be willing to open up to others and be more honest about her own feelings. https://animemotivation.com/wpcontent/uploads/2020/01/yokoderayoutoquotes1.jpg On a sidenote I personally can relate. I had spent my school life with people who constantly teased and ridiculed me for anything I did. I had shut myself and didnt share anything or open up to anyone. It was only after a long time of talking to people in college and understanding myself that I realized that people are not judging everything I did / said and I can actually talk about myself with other people in my life https://i.ur.com/4eb2FHt.gif Family I would say the main theme running across the show is Family its effects and its importance which leads us to the discussion of Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi Our Female Lead and her family. Let us dive in. https://i.pin.com/originals/b9/a3/20/b9a320f229688147aaff2049a9666ea1.gif Her Family is constant struggle in Tsutsukakushis life and three whole arcs of the shows are in regard to her family. I would like to talk briefly about each arc. Sacrificing emotions for her sister has always been a thinker for me and I dont think I can understand it properly to this day. Sometimes I think it is a dumb and stupid mistake on her part and sometimes I think it was act of great sacrifice and loyalty. I have pondered on the question and thought for a long time and have finally thought of a decent theory if I say so myself . 25https://png.com/uploads/thinkingman/thinkingmanPNG11606.png 25https://png.com/uploads/thinkingman/thinkingmanPNG11604.png 25https://www.pngall.com/wpcontent/uploads/4/ThinkingManPNGPicture.png Me Thinking Yes I changed my race three times while thinking Tsutsukakushi had been fighting with her sister for quite some time which was what lead her to make that wish to the cat god. Having lost her mother in a young age and living separated from her father she places a really high value on family which was the reason that when she lost her sisters respect not really she was willing to go to such lengths to get her back. Also the reason why she didnt care about getting her emotions back as she had already got what she wanted i.e. her sister . There was also another arc which highlights this aspect of her character really well. That is arc of the storm. What was once a silly wish made on a whim ended up almost destroying her home. The arc also thought her the difference between Yokodera and family. That is despite her feelings of wanting to convert Yokodera into her family that is simply not possible because in the end of the day he is not and he has his own home. Yokodera explained her to that he wishes that instead of spending every minute of the day together he prefers some distance because that way things can be more exciting when they meet up and also that they should spend more time together in each others homes too. Now I know his speech is very unconventional but It comes from a place of honesty and sincerity which is why I love the way he handled this situation i.e. not by being a epic anime protagonist giving a life changing speech but rather just expressing his feelings. I do love this couple a lot. https://picfiles.alphacoders.com/268/268421.png Lastly the final arc of the anime is just very heartwarming and sweet. 10/10. Peak Fiction. Loved it. Small Tsutsukakushi is very Kawaii. https://i.pin.com/originals/a5/a3/68/a5a3688e96a2d135ad4ca4e85a43b909.gif https://i.ur.com/4eb2FHt.gif Random Thoughts And Conclusion https://avatars.steamstatic.com/a484049d5d0e45dd2b23b5ad91e621a00fbd6a48medium.jpg This is section is just random shit that came to my mind just like all my reviews tbh . I would like to explain the characters who have major flaws in personality point from before. 10https://files.catbox.moe/f4iaw2.png 10https://files.catbox.moe/f4iaw2.png 10https://files.catbox.moe/f4iaw2.png 10https://files.catbox.moe/f4iaw2.png 10https://files.catbox.moe/f4iaw2.png 10https://files.catbox.moe/f4iaw2.png 10https://files.catbox.moe/f4iaw2.png 10https://files.catbox.moe/f4iaw2.png 10https://files.catbox.moe/f4iaw2.png Look at Our Male Lead Man is degenerate and pervert but he is also a guy who is very kind hearted and helps both Azusa Azuki and Tsutsukakushi with their problems with all he has got. https://animemotivation.com/wpcontent/uploads/2020/01/yokoderayoutoquotes.jpg Tsutsukakushi is a girl who has no emotion . Something which is so integral to making a girl cute despite that she wished to continue to march forward with her dream of becoming a preschool teacher and shows a lot of love and respect for her loved ones. A similar trend can be seen for the rest of the characters though they dont get as much time as the main two https://animemotivation.com/wpcontent/uploads/2020/01/TsukikoTsutsukakushiquotes.jpg https://animemotivation.com/wpcontent/uploads/2020/01/TsukikoTsutsukakushiquotes1.jpg I love this approach because people in real life are not Black or White all of them have good and bad sides to them. I am glad this show treated its characters with this approach and it is one of the reasons I look at it fondly. I didnt like the ed during my first watch but on subsequent rewatches I have grown to appreciate it. Very cute princesstype vibe from this song showing our cute Tsutsukakushi dancing with her emotionfilled form showing the contrast of character between the two of them despite feeling and doing the same thing. It is very kawaii and epic. https://pa1.narvii.com/5994/bb9fd14ac1401f692abdfaf5daa6bf3f443df7f700.gif https://files.catbox.moe/7u76wl.mp4 And thats it folks The review is over. So is this show the greatest anime ever made? No it is not. The show is filled with some questionable ecchi moments and some tropes and clichs you might see in a typical romance harem anime though personally I dont mind which take the shows ratings down. I wrote that title to bait people into reading this review because unfortunately despite its good characters and interesting drama not many people have seen it and this being the anime I have rewatched the most that makes me sad :. I will end this review by saying I wish upon the cat god that if you do decide to watch or rewatch this show you have a excellent time and have a wonderful day my friend :
