Kanokon is one of the worst anime, no, worst TV series period that I have ever seen. The show is about a rather pathetic high school student who is sexually assaulted and harassed by various “sexy” yokai women. Wait, sorry, has to deal with the wacky hijinks of being desired by two women who want to do naughty, naughty things with him and trying to maintain his innocence.

First and foremost, this show has a god awful dub. The show is crap on its own, and no amount of good English acting or writing could have made the show any more palatable, but it just had to be that the cherry on top of this steaming pile is a dub that makes me want to pour bleach into my ears. Everybody is shouting all the time. Regular conversations all seem like they’re taking place in a wind tunnel, and it is EXTREAMLY irritating. Compounding this is the fact that the actors are all directed by someone who seems to have only a basic grasp of the English language. They’re all high profile actors, with many good performances in their resumes (Mona Marshall, Dorothy Fahn, and Dan Woren being the most notable) but in this show, they are awful across the board. Lines are delivered stiffly, with awkward pauses, inflections, and timing. It seems like a dub made in the 1980’s, not the late 2000s.

Now to get to the meat of this. The humour in this show is entirely of the “girls want to fuck main character be he doesn’t want to isn’t that wacky?!” style. That translates to every episode, our main character gets harassed, molested, and nearly raped by several women. Multiple times an episode. For 12 episodes. Rape jokes are not funny. Even if you flip the genders, its still not funny, not in the slightest. The end result is episodes full of uncomfortable, gross scenes played for laughs and fanservice. The show isn’t funny, and it certainly isn’t sexy. Outside of that, there’s nothing to the show. Its entire purpose is to show you boobs, butts, and anything else that may get your motor running. However, the incredibly gross content contained in these scenes, and the weird character designs and poor animation make it anything but sexy.

Honestly, panning this show feels like cheating. It seems too easy. It is so overwhelmingly terrible that no words that I can write can adequately describe just how horrible it is. I didn’t watch the show in Japanese, because I didn’t want to devote the brainpower to reading subtitles for this show. Regardless, its terrible no matter what language it is. The humour is so unpleasant, and the fanservice is so overwhelmingly abundant, and poorly executed, that there is absolutely no conceivable reason to watch this show. The most enjoyment that I got out of this show was watching the last 4 episodes on 150% speed, just so that I could finish it sooner.

Video Review

jacobi.sterling - 2013-07-05 09:25:09

Holy crap, it's finally over! The anime of my dreadful loathing! This anime was just so bad, I HAD to write a review on it. Kanokon was obviously made with horny sex craving boys as its audience. You want fanservice? It has fanservice. You want naked chicks? This anime has it. In fact, this anime goes over-the-top borderline with its sexual innuendos, activities and visual eye candy. The main character, Kouta, is stalked by two girls, both being what men usually crave. The ready-and-willing big-breasted pretty girl, and the ready-and-willing breast-less loli character. Both want sex from him, and will do anything to do it. To sum it up, this anime is probably the closest you'll get to a hentai without it actually being a hentai.StoryThe story was mediocre, at best. I loved the whole 'demons and spirits mingle with the humans', thing, but that's about where it ended. The arc with the little loli-girl and her Nue partner was the closest this series got to an actual plot, and was probably the only part of the series I really enjoyed, since it mildly turned away from the ecchi to focus on action and combat. The fact that two girls follow and want to bed one boy who looks like he should be in grade-school was enough to turn me off. I'm a girl, and I love my shota, but this is just unbelievably unrealistic to a very fine degree. ArtThis is where the anime really shines. The art is undeniably some of the best in the anime released this spring, and I probably won't forget the beauty of Kanokon's style anytime soon. To be honest, it was probably the art that made me stick with and endure the show to the last episode. Even I have to admit that the animation remained smooth throughout the entire series. Maybe when animating the males it fell slightly, but when doesn't that happen when you're watching an ecchi or harem anime? The Art would have gotten a perfect 10 if it wasn't for my lingering thoughts that the animation was made like this solely to tune up the ecchi.SoundNot really much to say here. The only really great point of the sound is the voice-acting. Of course, to most that's the whole deal right? I don't really remember the music that much, so that goes to show that it wasn't all too good in my opinion. Yeah.... this is all I can really say about the sound.CharacterThe characters were decent enough. I didn't really like the fact that poor little Kouta's called 'the ero-king' by all the girls and is put down by that, even though it wasn't his fault. Of course, that seems to be the fate of all boys in harem and ecchi animes. Even if a face-plant into the nearest rack was an accident, it's ALWAYS the boy's fault. Poor, poor boys. There were only three characters that succeeded in putting a smile on my face whenever they were onscreen. And that's Tayura, and the twins Ai and Ren. EnjoymentIs it over yeeeet?This anime had me checking my player's episode length to see how much longer I had to suffer through another episode of boobs, sex and girls that want sex. I was so bored through most of the episodes I would pause about every eight minutes to go see what was happening elsewhere on the net. Yes. It was THAT good.OverallOverall? Don't watch it unless you're a boy that gets off on this kind of stuff. Or a girl that can tolerate this anime that greatly degrades women.

Omg, this has got to be the worst anime I have ever had the misfortune to stubbornly watch all the way through .___.; I finished it when the last episode was subbed, but I've only just thought about writing a review. Also I'm tired today, so please bear with me guys ;3StoryStory? HAH. There pretty much is no story. Kanokon's story is none existant. It's just about how the overly-horny-for-a-little-shouta-boy Chizuru trys to get Kouta, the boy, to have sex with her.Right at the beginning there was certain potential involving the fight scenes and the concept of Chizuru being a fox deity, but nothing was ever played out into anything deeper than "oh look, she has a tail every now and then." Seriously, the writers seemed to completely forget about the supposed main story line and just had fun writing this almost-hentai script. This series is as close to hentai as you'll ever get without watching hentai itself.It's aimed for guys who get off on seeing chunky chicks like Chizuru take all her clothes off at any given oppotunity.AnimationNothing special here. The very few fight scenes that were shown were fairly average, Chizuru looked like she was covered in oil all the time because she was so damn shiny, and the characters' eyes were drawn funny. Not to my taste really, but then again it wasn't dreadful.SoundThe only reason why I gave the series a 2 rather than a 1 overall was because of the music. It was absolutely beautiful, totally what I enjoy and it fitted rather well with the series as both songs were about love and physically wanting someone. Especially the ending song, sung by Sakakibara Yui. It was so upbeat in the chorus and really made me want to dance XD;CharacterWhat can I say about them that's positive? Nothing. They were boring, standard, flat, 2D, recycled and had no depth. They were there to show panties and get naked and nothing more. Boring as hell.Nozomu made me laugh at the beginning, but then she got boring. She was only there to make Chizuru want to cling onto Kouta even more. And Kouta himself, he was such a drippy little thing. Even though he obviously didn't want to do those kinds of things with Chizuru he never actually tried to stop her because he was too much of a weakling. Seriously, he really pissed me off.The only highlight was the twins, but they were barely shown. If they had been in it more, then my rating would have gone up to around a 4.EnjoymentI did not enjoy this series one bit. I only watched it right the way through to the end because I really wanted to say "hey look, I put up with it" and also because I hate dropping series. And I guess I'm stubborn too ^^; never again will I watch a series as dreadful and brainlessly ecchi as this.OverallOnly watch it if you want some hardcore ecchi that is on the brink of hentai. Otherwise, miss it.If you loved this series then I'm sorry that our views don't mix. But I really truly hated this pile of rubbish. :)Yeah~ hate the review if you want. But deep down, you know I'm only telling the truth ;3
