Although the title is a little confusing, Shin Kyouhaku 2 is the supposed prequel of Kyouhaku Second. But really, you don’t need to watch it in any order because, surprise, there’s not much of a story. For those of you who like blackmail, coerced sex, bondage, gangbang, NTR, and rape. Congratulations, you’ve just landed you self a cheap cocktail of generic genres that’s been increasingly popular these days. It’ll give you that initial buzz you've been looking for, but leave you with a hangover which you'll regret later. STORY 6 Story wise, Shin Kyouhaku is as generic as it comes. A blond ojousama has a secret relationshipwith her teacher. Then gets tricked, raped, and blackmailed into various humiliating sexual acts. Hooray~. Although there are some psychological mysterious aspects to unfold, there is not much of a plot. There are some novel dildo plays and proper bondage gangbang scenes if you’re into that, but most of the time one ends up thinking “God! Why is she so stupid?!” Well, I guess if there were no dumb blonds, there wouldn’t be any blackmail sexual scenarios.

CHARACTER 5
The bulk of the hentai revolves around Akehime, the blond hoity type. She’s confident, proud, and takes the initiative, at the beginning at least. Then she falls down a slippery slop of sexual victimization, almost too quickly. Like a sad little puppy, she conforms to what ever her blackmailer commands. Although, character design wise, she looks good, I find her character to be quite annoying, inconsistent, and not well thought out at all. There’s no development of her transforming at all. One moment she’s proud and arrogant, the next she’s a sex slave, which leaves for a very bland generic character. I guess my complaint is that you don’t really connect with the character enough to feel bad for her, there by lacking that disturbing arousal feeling you're suppose to feel with these hentai genres.

ART/ANIMATION 6
Art is pretty standard for hentai where as animation is average at best. Like I said, character design looks good. Proportions are a little big, but not overly done like some other titles (Rensa Byoutou). There are a lot of repeating frames that are cheaply done. It’s pretty substandard for a 2006 animation.

SOUND 4
The voice acting is good, however the sound FX are a bit off. Not that the timing is off, but rather the sounds that they choose didn’t really match. The watery sounds of the penis thrusting in and out of the womb sounded, well, too watery. It should be a little squishy and sticky sounding, not like a swimming pool. BG music fails to emphasize the scenes. I found the techno music is unsuitable.

OVERALL "Meh."
Think of Shin Kyouhaku as the cheap hooker that’s been around the block a bit too many times. If you’re new to the hentai scene, give it a try. It’ll give you a cheap thrill at the risk of contracting some STD’s, but you’ll probably never go back to it again.
