SSPD-122 - Bloodline of the Damned: Awakening the Sadist Within 2

*I bought this because Hibiki Otsuki was in it. I think Hibiki Otsuki was cute and her acting was good.

A failure not worth watching. If you're going to adapt a manga into an AV, you should have put some real thought into the planning. Do better.

There was a disclaimer at the beginning about cuts and blurring due to various circumstances, but the audio cuts and blurring were so excessive that it completely killed the mood. If they were going to do that, they should have just cut out the teacher's explanation scenes entirely.

Having read the entire manga series, I can say that the better the source material, the harder it is to adapt—a fact well-known through examples like 'Ashita no Joe.' While the male lead fits his role well, the actresses' performances feel lackluster and unconvincing. I rewatched 'Tabida no Hoshi' from the Nikkatsu Roman Porno series for comparison, and it was much more entertaining (Yuko Asuka's performance as the mother is brilliant). I'm not sure how many more entries Attackers plans to release in this series, but if they continue with this frustratingly slow pace, it's just a waste of time and money. What do you all think?

(Titles omitted) As the opening text states, because it's faithful to the original work... In the story, there's an important lecture scene regarding the Nazi Auschwitz (lecturer: Ryuji Moriyama) where Tatsuya learns about the book 'Night and Fog' (the meaning of the Star of Tabido). Perhaps due to various regulations and sensitivities, the dialogue is muted in places, and while some original illustrations are used, they are mosaicked, making it impossible to tell what they are. For those who don't know the original manga, these scenes are incomprehensible. Also, the 'minor' setting is handled vaguely regarding specific details that would reveal their age. Other scenes (H-play) are completely unaffected, so you can watch them without distraction. Memorable scenes: The prison camp scene: The scene where the female prisoner (Ryo) is whipped and subjected to candle play under the guise of 'treatment' is short but worth watching. The appearance of Genpei Ninagawa (Mitsugu Someshima). The scene with Akemi Sudo (Yumi Honma) has excellent lighting and a sense of realism; the part where he fondles her breasts was very exciting. The scene with Kiyoko Toyoda (Hibiki Otsuki) has an atmosphere reminiscent of a mature-looking high school girl from the Showa 30s, and her being completely naked from the waist down is strangely vivid and erotic. By the way, all sexual climaxes in the film are internal, with clear depictions of the genitals. Also, Atsushi Yoshino's performance as Tatsuya Kami, who didn't appear much in the previous work, is excellent. Just like the previous work, the transitions between scenes and the detailed psychological depictions—which weren't in the original—are handled skillfully without ruining the original image, which adds a strange sense of persuasion and creates realism.
