Boku no Pico Review

Once you get past the whole gay shota thing, it's... well, no, it's still pretty average for a hentai.

Boku no Pico is a gay shota hentai. If you had any misconceptions about that, I hope they have been cleared up. It's also the first gay OR shota hentai I've watched, as far as I can remember, thus killing two broads with one testicle. I may be a harsh critic, but there's absolutely nothing I just plain won't watch. I'm told it's also the first hentai anime of its kind. I have no idea if this is true or not, but it's certainly the first I've seen.

__Story:__ The story of this episode is of Pico, a young crossdressing boy working at his grandfather's bar for the summer, and the 24-year-old man he's left with by his no-fucks-given elder. The two of them very quickly start an explicit relationship. All NAMBLA jokes aside, it's a fairly sweet story, if not very inspired. I didn't despise it, but at the same time, there's not much good to say about it from a purely writing perspective. The plot moves very unrealistically quickly, jumping almost immediately from meeting to sex, and the conflict in the episode is perhaps the most generic and overused in any love story, bringing nothing new to the table at all. Truthfully, the fact that the romantic partner is a young boy is completely inconsequential to the plot. You could replace Pico with an 18+ girl with exactly the same reactions and lines of dialogue and you'd have a very cookie-cutter hentai series that still made perfect sense. Not that I'm saying he should be an 18+ girl; rather, I'm saying that if a story is about man-boy love, it should be at least in some way reflected in the plot, rather than taking a standard, overused formula and lazily replacing the female love interest with a shota.

__Art:__ The artwork is actually fairly strong in this series. Very pretty, cleanly drawn, and even cute. Animation was fluid, and overall, I have no complaints to speak of. The creators are quite fond of man-nipples. You don't see those too often in anime.

__Sound:__ I've heard complaints about some of the sound effects used in this series, but having seen many more hentai series than the people issuing said complaints, I can say that they're nothing new and nothing that hasn't been used before. The Japanese voice acting was sweet and well-delivered, and the soundtrack suited the series very well. Again, well-rounded in all aspects.

Suffice it to say, Boku no Pico met all the minimum standards in place for hentai, making it a fairly average--perhaps even above average--entry in the world of hentai. In retrospect, I can say with confidence that I've seen many which were much, much worse, somewhat sloppy writing aside. Still, for having a generically sweet storyline, and for making boys cute again (as opposed to all the ugly old bastards I've grown accustomed to seeing in hentai), I wouldn't mind recommending this series to anyone interested in guys and/or shota, vanilla.
