I'm honestly tempted to give this an 8, but I would have to cancel myself immediately. I put this on my Plan To Watch because I found OZ intriguing. A sex comedy under the hand of a guy who went on to make a violent, high-concept sci-fi drama? "Sure, why not?" said I, a fool expecting it to just be silly. But it is extremely compelling, well-structured and well-paced? Even the first scene, which is instant gratification, is a curve-ball because of how it introduced and incorporated the attack helicopter into the ongoing orgy. The first thing we're going to have to get out of the way isthat, yes, it is a sex comedy and it is not intended to mirror real life. With that in hand, I was willing to suspend my strong distaste for workplace harassment. If you are not able to or do not want to do that, this will not be a good time. But even this is interesting.

While the main character fails to the top in ways that could easily just be annoying if done slightly differently, he is never really empowered. Rather, his boss and significant love interest mostly don't willingly give him the time of day. Those two probably get more character explanation than he does, being just a pervert. They are successful, top-of-their field career women with impressive, powerful personalities and comfortable in their own skin. (There's briefly a third woman in a photoshoot who is not as good an example, but the scene is mostly played for laughs and it builds her up professionally by tearing the main character down personally. It still fits the mold.)

The way it incorporated the main character's sex-pest nature into the plot was jarringly good. Not only did it lead to his success in the first act, then his downfall in the second, it drove us into and through the third. Meanwhile, it's integral to comically starting and then organically growing the relationship between him and the main love interest. The romantic scene on the rooftop was as impressively directed as a serious part of an ecchi show can be, not something I'd expect from an OVA that could otherwise just be porn.

And, bonus, there are actually some chuckle-worthy jokes in there, and some very expressive cuts of animation. Soundtrack was nice, too. A surprise.
