Time to actually say what I thought, well, I thought it was good. However these two troopers just keep on trucking (or fucking as the case may be.) and these two crazy kids eventuallyĪlong the way Yuras younger sister comes along and decides to give some sage wisdom (because shes a total slut ands gone around more than a nascar race), a few others offer advice, and at some point about halfway through they must just figure it all out because by episode three the focus is off of them not knowing what the opposite genders' sexual organs are, and moves onto all the crazy kinky adventures they can get into.

Makoto and yura are both 25 year old virgins and they just got married and are now realizing "oh shit, I have no idea how to have sex." Now there's a line between being a virgin and not knowing alot about what to do, and just straight-up sexual cluelessness and these two are really pushing into the latter category. but what the hell right? Lets just talk about it. That awkward moment when you are expecting a romantic comedy and the softcore porn rolls out. And also because it's so bad that I've resorted to writing this, which has proved a gazillion times more enjoyable. I’m going to be generous and award Step Up Love Story three points because it has boobs, lots of boobs, even though they’re not particularly well drawn boobs. Almost as surprising is that the Japanese voice actors didn’t use pseudonyms, so the viewer is under no illusions that they really are listening to bad grunting and moaning from Yuji “Keitaro” Ueda and Tomoko “Rosette” Kawakami. I almost did one of those comical anime faints. Yes, that Chiaki Konaka, the guy who worked on Lain, Texhnolyze, Rahxephon, BGC 2040, Armitage III, and… you get the idea. Imagine my surprise when the credits rolled and revealed that none other than Chiaki friggin’ Konaka did the screenplay. There was, however, some entertainment to be had.

What attracted me to the series in the first place was that the protagonists were both in their mid-20s, but the series left me wondering why they weren’t written as kids straight out of high school, because that’s the level of maturity on display from them. It feels like a kids show with its simplistic characterization and banal dialogue, and only the frequent soft porn scenes (so poorly animated that the participants look like malfunctioning robots) remind the viewer that it's actually supposed to be for adults. beaten half to death with the cliché stick and proceeds to stagger around bruised and bleeding for 100 torturous minutes.Īnd while Step Up Love Story is billed as a comedy, I found myself neither laughing nor even smiling as much as I had anticipated. Yura gets a job as a waitress in a maid café.
The student Makoto used to tutor shows up and tries to seduce him (trouble). Makoto's sexually frustrated cousin shows up and causes trouble. Yura's slutty sister shows up and causes trouble. Step Up Love Story (Futari Ecchi) is a four-episode OVA that tells the deeply uninteresting story of two deeply uninteresting 25-year-od newlyweds, Makoto and Yura, who just happen to be virgins.
