Cat girls — the de facto moe mascot of otaku culture. Compared to their beast girl counterparts, these feline females have been a commodity in several hentai series for years. Depending on the story, these characters can either warm our hearts and loins or fail to leave a lasting impression. That said, doujin circle Truth From Lies’ newest title — Nekomimi Enko Girl is unfortunately the latter.
Story
As an animated short, Nekomimi Enko Girl’s plot is rather straightforward, putting viewers in the role of a client paying two cat girls for some outdoor “services.” There is no buildup to this story. Usually this isn’t a problem for most people long as the dialogue is engaging, but in this case it’s just lacking. Even though this is an official English subbed version, there are several grammatical errors that make it difficult to indulge in the “dirty talk” these lovely ladies excite the viewer with. Sometimes the conversations don’t even make any sense and it doesn’t help that the subtitles are often delayed.
Characters
With Amy and Imani as the leading ladies, Truth From Lies includes fetishes that are quite popular in high school themed hentai. Those fetishes are the cool-headed yankii (delinquent) and the playful gyaru (valley girl). These traits blend well with their respective characters’ body language in each scene, but they lack allure. Their designs are not all that appealing. Amy’s appearance in fact, looks strikingly similar to a certain blonde android in a well-known shonen series. As for Imani, the gyaru style works for her, but her purple nipples make a titty fuck really off-putting. Despite the drawbacks of this title’s heroines, I will admit that it is incredibly impressive that the circle drew the hentai entirely by hand.
Animation
As for the animation, it could be better. The characters mouths have decent synchronization with their voices and their body movements have the proper jiggle physics. There are some parts that make the immersion in this fantasy difficult, however. For example, the animation of the blowjob scene — there is no fellating animation apart from stroking the client’s cock. It’s just Amy holding her head still with a rod in her mouth, but there’s no bobbing or sucking. However, the animator did put a lot of detail into the midnight rendezvous. Complete with sex under the stars, it gave off the feeling of trying to keep up with the nightwalkers’ relentless assault.
Sound
I find the audio aspect of this flick to be the most influential. The voice actress has an incredible vocal range that gives life to this tale’s polar opposites Amy and Imani. Hearing her staggered breaths and hitching moans made it at least pleasant to watch. The additional sound effects also helped maintain the illusion the actress worked so hard to create. While most animated videos have some form of background music, this title focuses more on the ambience. The only sounds you can hear are crickets and cries of ecstasy.
Sex
In Nekomimi Enko Girl, business is pleasure, and these kitties are thirsty for manly milk. Both Amy and Imani have their own “assets” that they use to rev their customer up before they milk him for what he’s worth. This not only allows viewers to indulge in their techniques, but it also takes advantage of the first-person view to experience through the client’s eyes.
While the sex is a bit sluggish in one scene, the effort to captivate the viewer’s lust is abundantly clear with the camera angles set right where the action supposedly is.
Verdict
I’ve seen worse hentai, but it’s definitely not the best. Despite its flaws, Nekomimi Enko Girl has the potential to be something greater.
