Preliminary (1/3 eps)
Pink Pineapple is easily one of, if not the most recognizable hentai studios among the fans, as most of their works have great production behind them. A recent trend that the studio has been adopting is creating more so called "duplicates" to there original works, which basically takes form in the duplicate having almost identical story beats and characters to the predecessor. Most commonly seen in 'Aikagi' and 'Aibeya'. Pink Pineapple has done the same with their highly acclaimed hentai from a year ago 'Wagaya no Liliana-san", by making an alternate version in the form of 'Tonari no Ie no Anette-san The Animation' which is the hentai for today's review.

Story: 4/10.
Tonari no Ie no Anette-san's story is pitiful. It takes no effort to establish the relationship of these characters before jumping into the shmex scenes. It also doesn't help that the premise is extremely generic. These are not where the overbearing flaws end. If the rushed introduction was not enough than the little amount of care that is put into fleshing out the relationship of the two leads after the first sexual interaction is laughable.

Art and Animation: 5/10.
While Pink Pineapple is one of the most popular studios out there, many in the community do believe that they're visual aspects are lacking. While I do have my fair share of issues with the studio, I have always been under the impression that Pink Pineapple was a prominent example of "how to produce hentai properly in terms of the visual aesthetics". Unfortunately, this hentai let me down immensely. The art in this hentai is the perfect example of the growing issue that is occurring in present day, "we are trying to make everything too flashy". The proportions of Anette-san is tooo much. Look... I get it, hentai is for what is unimaginable in real life. But this is too much. The proportions of Anette-san reach a point of me succumbing to not wanting to watch the hentai. I've said this in other reviews and I'll say it again, we need to chill the fuck out with the contrast! I did have a few issues with "Wagaya no Liliana-san's" contrast, but for the most part it was nicely done. Now this is just too much. I may be indifferent about the proportions when compared to everyone else, but for those of you who like the proportions I doubt it makes it anymore enjoyable when the contrast is blinding you. The only somewhat redeeming part of this section would have to be the animation, which is expected from this studio.

Sound: 9/10.
I don't think I need to explain myself. The VA is nice, the bg music is very up to par and it never takes away from the experience too much.

Character: 5/10.
I already addressed my issues with Anette-san in terms of character desing in the 'art and animation' portion. To sum up that... her body proportions are too ridiculously to the point where it brings downs her overall design. What about personality you may be asking? Not much I can say really... she doesn't have too much to work with as you only see one side of her due to the overreliance on shemex scenes within the hentai. But the problem lies within how she feels 'generic'. I have no issue with generic characters or tropes, as long as time is taken to flesh out the aforementioned. But that is the issue, this hentai doesn't have time for that. For a 25 minute hentai it should have time to do this, yet it doesn't choose to. Which is why sections such as this struggle in response to that, which is simply hard to watch.

Enjoyment: 3/10.
I did not enjoy "Tonari no Ie no Anette-san The Animation". The truth is, I wanted to love this hentai, I wanted to be able to praise it just like Wagaya no Liliana-san. But I can't lie about liking something. I won't act like there was not potential for this hentai, but the problem is it didn't use its potential. The art, animation, story and characters are all lacking the the point where I have next to no high praise to say for this show.

Overall: 4/10.
Overall, I would no recommended "Tonari no Ie no Anette-san The Animation". If you want a similar hentai just go with "Wagaya no Liliana-san The Animation", trust me when I say it is farrrrrr superior to this hot piece of garbage. I really hope the medium of hentai does not succumb to these issues of flashy art and lackluster story-telling and character exposition. Furthermore, this hentai serves as a grim remainder of the worst of hentai.
