Anna and Hanako 2010 Best










Anna and Hanako release a 'Best Of' compilation every six months, and this one covers the second half of 2010. I've been watching since the 2009 version, and the quality varies depending on the releases from that period. The cast gets more impressive with every volume—featuring popular actresses like Tsubomi, Rui Saotome, Kokomi Naruse, Shizuka Kanno, and Azumi Harusaki—but they only show about 60-80% of the climax scenes before cutting to the next chapter. If you accept that 'this is what a compilation is,' it's quite enjoyable, and considering the price, it's good value. Compared to other makers, Anna and Hanako often have solid, interesting plots, but I'm sometimes disappointed by the frequent use of toys. Am I the only one who thinks they should lean more toward soft content rather than intense stuff to better fit their brand identity?
