CESD-324 - Icha LOVE Date 10: The most precious Ryoko Murakami in the world

As other reviews have noted, there are very few opinions that this series is actually good. Most reviews are just being kind to the actress, saying things like, 'Well, if you're a fan, it's worth a watch, right?' It’s strictly for 'fans.' This is the bare minimum for this type of date-sim content, and frankly, no matter which studio produced it, it wouldn't change the fact that it’s not a successful work. The 'POV/self-shot' style is polarizing, so there's no point in debating its merits now, but in terms of production quality, compared to other studios (HMJM, Aurora, etc.), it’s below average—even considering the male actor is the one filming. But that’s expected; the experience gap is massive. So, how should other studios compete with these date-sim projects? By having a cameraman with enough charisma to match the actress. To make this kind of project interesting, the person behind the camera needs intelligence. If you watch it, you'll see the conversation is fatally boring. Perhaps due to a lack of life experience (no offense), there’s no substance to the talk. They can't draw out the inner depth of an experienced actress. They might call it 'lighthearted banter,' but it’s just pointless questions that make you want to fast-forward. You can practically hear the actress thinking, 'I don't care, let's just get to the hotel. I want to have sex with you pros, but I don't want to make small talk.' It’s no wonder fans think the concept is a failure. Still, fans buy it out of loyalty to the actress, which is fortunate for them. As for improvement, since they’ll never beat the veteran directors at POV technique, they should focus on casting a cameraman with actual intelligence. The dick-filming is secondary.
