Words Worth Gaiden · review
The original Words Worth is one of the best hentai out there, to me at least. It had good animation, plot, and sex scenes, as is worth checking out for anyone who wants to crank one out to one of the oldies. It must have been pretty popular, because they released another anime based on the game. But is it any good? Let's have a look. Words Worth: Gaiden (Words Worth: Outer Story) is a side story takes place around the last episode of the original show. There isn't too much plot outside of our main character, Astral, and the three women he meets from fromthe Tribe of Light during an attempted invasion into the Land of Shadow.
Gaiden is a step down from the original in pretty much every way and its obvious why it wasn't included as part of the main series. While the plot isn't bad, it's pretty obvious that the plot in Gaiden feels like it's the side plot from the game that this is based on, not part of the main story, and from everything I can tell after looking the game up, this seems to be accurate. While it probably fleshes out the game, it just doesn't fit in animated for.
The animation isn't as good, as it seems we've moved over from cel animation to the early days of digital animation for anime that was the hot new thing for anime in the early 2000s, which was a pretty rough time for animation in anime at the time. While it doesn't necessarily look terrible for the time, it is a step down from the original series.
The one thing I can say for Gaiden is that this is where the "Your resistance only makes my penis harder." quote comes from, so if you want to satiate your curiosity, then maybe check it out. The English dub/sub isn't anywhere close to being so-bad-it's-good, but if you're looking for funny quotes from a hentai, this is still one of the more memorable ones.
I guess the sex scenes are OK. They're nothing to write home about, and just aren't as good as the originals. There is one scene in the first episode that I did like with the warrior character Sabrina, which is probably the best part of the entire thing.
If you were looking for more of Words Worth, then this isn't the worst thing, but I imagine you wanted more, you could just seek out the game, or at least find video clips that someone went to the trouble of finding and editing together.
