Yamada’s First Time
It sounds like one of the raunchiest anime you could ever imagine, the story of a high school girl who is determined to sleep with 100 different guys before she graduates. If that’s what you are looking for, though, look someplace else. Director Yusuke Yamamoto is a master of innuendo (subtle and otherwise), and there are lots of raunchy references packed into every episode, but it’s only a cover for what turns out to be a sweet story about two young kids falling in love for the first time. Yamada may talk about ‘doing it’ all the time, but her bravado is easy for the audience to see through. The bittersweet note at the end of the story arc is perfect.
