Massive Yuri and NTR slop
Hotaru is a vile POS who sexually assaults her friend and motionally manipulates her into cheating and being into a relationship with her ( especially last episode), worst thing is that the show presents her as a victim to justify her actions, aka her being with her abusive boyfriend whom she made a deal with and chooses to stay with btw ( btw the whole " deal " thing is extremely retarded ), and just like her boyfriend she just breaks up with her partners all the time and " toys " with them, and gets no real consequences for everything above
Yuma is a spineless POS who can't fight back again her friend or get her shit together on her relationship which makes her insufferable already, then she cheats on her BF, and gets no real consequences for that
Fuj…

This anime should've never been made I don't even know how I managed to watch it from beginning to end every episode gets worse and worse to this day I'm still surprised and shock at myself for finishing this trash I normally don't get mad but after watching this I almost punch a wall it was just that terrible a word of advice to anyone getting into anime if you come across this anime do yourself a favor don't watch the story is horrible and the characters is even worse I still don't know what was the studio thinking when they picked this up

Ight... I'll give it to you straight.
If you hate this anime, I know how to make you love this anime... Stop treating this as a show, and begin treating it as a hentai.
If you go into this looking at it as a normal, anime you'll probably find yourself not liking it. The story is uncomfortable, and needs improvement. If they were to revise this it'd be noticeably better. Most, not all, but most characters could use some improvement because it feels like their average.
I suggest watch this alone, and when your in "the" mood. Because I did not feel like the story is all that enjoyable.

After seeing all the fuzz about this anime on the internet I decided to give it a shot, so basically the plot is that the Hotaru (the blacked haired girl starts to kiss the Yuma (the orange one) for some unexplained reason, but the thing is she enjoys it,
The problem I have with this anime is that first of all, the start of the relationship wasn’t consensual, also Hotaru knew Yuma had a boyfriend, as well as her, but she still kisses Yuma knowing that.
Also every character except Takeda is extremely unlikable, especially Fujiwara, if a show has unlikable characters most of the time is gonna be bad for the plot, unlikable characters are okay as long as they are
actually good for the plot (that in this case is non-existent).
The plot is another problem I have, the thing is it is a problem…

REVIEW FOR LESBIANS.
Main points: representation, real in a very messy way.
No explicit spoilers, but some implied.
I'll start by saying that I feel like my rating of this anime is higher due to the representation than it would be if I was rating any other anime. It wasn't an amazing storyline, it was very short, and many of the other valid criticisms I've already seen written in some other reviews. However, I felt compelled to write a review specifically for lesbians.
This anime is messy. Coming out is messy. Dealing with feelings for someone of the same sex for the first time is messy. Falling for someone that you think is straight is messy. And that's what this anime shows. Did the characters deal with it the right, honest, fair way? No, not really at all. Did they hurt each other…

It is a great show about a girl coming to terms with her same-sex attraction through much pain, struggle, lies and mistakes.
Her main struggle is to understand if this is love or she just wants to keep a friend. And then, what to do with a friend... or love.. or what is it, live together? But another girl has a boyfriend! How she feels about him? Would they break up? What to do if they do not? It is all so complicated!
It is a drama where all the characters are not the paragons of virtue.
All characters here have problems. They are afraid, they do not know what they want, they lie, they hide their feelings, they do not understand their feelings.
They cheat.
There is also a violence between the lovers and high-school girls working as hostess in adult cafe (not striptease or prostitution…

Most of the negative reviewers are missing the point of NTR. Or I am. This show deserves a 10/10 solely because of the socio-psychological mess the characters are. If you are looking for escapism from the world of crappy people, don't stop here. Watch something else. But if you want to see how crappy people live their lives, this is worth a watch. This is the most realistic anime I think I've ever seen. I knocked off a couple of points for the rushed pacing.
There are only 4 characters worth mentioning. This is not in order of character importance but rather the easiest to write about first. Yuma's boyfriend, Takeda, is the only innocent person in this show. Not only does he do nothing wrong, but even after being burned by Yuma, he remains her friend. He's just a good guy.
Then there's F…

I think the reason people don't like this show is because it breaks a lot of conventional anime rules. A lot of people are going into this expecting it to be like most other anime, which is a mistake.
These characters have flaws. All of them. They all have flaws, and they aren't portrayed like other anime where they ~magically overcome their flaws with the help of the person they fall in love with and they all live happily ever after!!!~
No, man. You can't go into every show ever expecting that same resolution/closure, and i think a lot of people are selling this show short/stifling their own enjoyment of it with that expectation.
This show portrays these flaws and the development of these characters in a realistic way, as opposed to pretty much all other anime that end the way i descr…

What a surprise, from here everybody suddenly noticed that world, people and their own attitude and feelings are not sugar flavored, so everybody should be happy no matter what. There will be always grayscales.
There's a typical psycho fAckboy like those that actually exist, a dreamer guy that wants to follow his dreams, if its not possible, everything related to it would be ok. Pretty common.
A simple-minded (that ironically has to be blonde) girl that doesn't realize what her feelings truly are, that never thinks about other's felings until it's too late already. Who would imagine? That actually exists too, there's people like that out there.
A psychologically damaged (Manga for more context, that's a kinda awful point against anime) girl that never received love that she wanted, not e…

Netsuzou TRap is a wild ride, but a ride you will enjoy all the way through. I wouldn't be lying if I told you I watched the whole thing in one sitting.
{STORY} A few spoilers lie ahead so you've been warned
The story follows our two leads Hotaru and Yuma, best friends who are both dating guys. Takeda and Fujiwara. It follows Yuma and how she struggles with dating. Luckily she has Hotaru there to show her how it's done. Most of it revolves around yuri action while the girls develop feelings for each other. Although at first, the story may seem a bit controversial, it is defiantly worth your time.
{ART}
It's standard, there's nothing really special about it.
{SOUND}
the music was fine, I didn't really notice anything that stood out.

As the title suggests, this is a show about cheating, so by that point alone, it won't be for everyone. If you don't want to see major characters being complete pieces of shit and toying with other people, just avoid it altogether.
The problem with Netsuzou Trap, however, that it's not even good at being an NTR series. Because of how short it is (9-minute episodes, including a full-length opening and a short ending sequence, leaving a stunning 6,5 minutes for actual plot), it ends up feeling rushed and shallow. To make some kind of impact, it could've chosen two different approaches - going grimdark like School Days, punishing the characters for their behaviour, or elaborating on their internal conflicts and giving them a proper chance at redeeming themselves. It did neither, ending on a…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
Being trapped in some form is almost never a fun experience.
It doesn’t have to be tangible like locked inside of a room because of a misplaced key. It could also be a mental cage of sorts like anxiety or depression. Whether from a physical or a psychological standpoint, the trap is set, and the feeling of helplessness consumes.
One other way to reach this same feeling is through watching Netsuzou TRap, an anime which “traps” the audience with boredom, uselessness, and irritation aplenty.
STORY
Those with a keen enough eye will notice a strangeness in the title of this anime. The “r” there is capitalized for a reason: to complete the initialism “NTR”. In this context, “NTR” stands for “netorare”, an infamous ge…

So this story is about two girls who are best friends, Yuma, whose point of view the story is from, and Hotaru. Hotaru is in a relationship with a boy named Fujiwara, and Yuma recently started dating a boy named Takeda. Hotaru actually loves Yuma and is in an abusive relationship with Fujiwara, so she proceeds to rape Yuma multiple times during the show. Yuma doesn't do anything to stop her because she is her best friend and doesn't confess about it to anyone. (Also maybe gets a case of Stockholm syndrome, it's been a bit since I've watched it.) Takeda begins to feel like Yuma is cheating on her/ is using him, so he breaks up with her. Yuma is destroyed by this and is on the verge of a mental breakdown. She tries to get back with him after finding out about her friends abusive relationship…

I'm not going to write a very long or indepth review as is common on this site, instead im going to keep it short and say why I loved this show!
You should already know that this anime is about the journey of two girls discovering what it really means to love someone. But instead of the typical boy-girl relationship, they come to realize that the person they love is someone of the same gender.
Personally, I love shows that go outside of the gender norms. Gay and Lesbian (admittedly way more into the Lesbian side) relationships appeal to me in a way that a normal relationship could never be. There is something pure about a relationship that gives nothing but still receives so much! This show does an excellent job at showing why people would make the choice to love outside of the social no…

Story 7/10
The story is focused on a high school girl in your second year who has just started dating a male friend in her club. BUT she's never been particularly interested in a relationship, it seems. And her friend (a girl) insists that she needs to “practice” sexual acts with each other before doing them with her boyfriend.
Art 7/10
It definitely suffers on this front from a lack of explicit content, or even fully-drawn bodies; while Kodama's art can be very sensual when she's drawing legs and lower torsos, the lack of nipples makes most of the scenes involving breasts look a bit off, particularly since she doesn't draw upper bodies in general particularly well.
Sound 7/10
I think is reasonable.
Character 9/10
For Yuri lovers, the two girls are pretty cute.
Enjoyment 7/10

Netsuzou TRap is a show I initially hated, but upon giving it a second chance after it had finished airing ended up liking quite a lot.
Going into this show my experience with yuri anime was limited to shows like Sakura Trick and Yuru Yuri, where the characters tended to consist of naturally likeable, pure hearted angels who would be cute and endearing to watch, but not at all representative of actual people. These unrealistic expectations led to a pretty rude awakening upon first checking out Netsuzou TRap, and made me dislike it enough to outright drop it.
Some months later, with a much firmer idea of exactly what I'd be in for, I checked this show out again and feel I can actually rate this very highly.
I'd describe Netsuzou TRap as a visceral character drama about a cast of naive, i…

I hoped in the end the main character would realise she is the victim of a sociopath, that's why I watched it until the end.
This story shows an unhealthy, abusive relationship. Due to the main character's low self esteem and insecurities, she is being mentally, emotionally and physically abused by her sociopath "best friend". This girl uses gaslighting & projection and she avoids the subject to be held accountable. She conditions the victim to be dependent on her through physical affection, isolates her from everyone, uses smear-campain against family so that the victim is completely alone. In the end the sociopath uses her own boyfriend for triangulation so that the victim gets jealous. And there are many more tactics to be observed.
This should not even be aired unless people get the m…

"Netsuzou Trap" is a very poor netorare show. If you’re not familiar with the term, netorare shows are shows that deal with adultery, aka cheating on your partner. In this case, it was Hotaru cheating on Fujiwara with Yuma who, in turn, cheated on her boyfriend Takeda. While the characters gave a valiant effort to try and save this show from being absolute trash, it didn’t do enough to make it decent. The only blessing about this show is the length of the episodes (9 minutes). This anime is something you can get in, watch and get out of rather quickly so there really isn’t any harm in watching the show. There definitely is a lot worse out there. Generic would be the best word to describe this....

You have to meet one of two criteria in order to find some value in this anime
1. Have a fetish for netorare, a phenomenon where the viewer is made to feel intense jealousy over a character cheating on their significant other
2. Are desperate for some sweet sweet yuri action regardless of the surrounding circumstances
If you meet neither this is probably the worst anime of the season by a mile. If you meet one or both it becomes tolerable
NTR has some of the best yuri scenes in recent memory. The girls are extremely attractive, one submissive the other domineering, and the two have great chemistry together
The level of netorare is tame compared to the extremes usually found in the genre. Turns out two girls banging each other is less emotionally jarring than cheating with someone of t…

Do you want to root for an abusive romance just because it's yuri? Do you want to see non-consensual lewd yuri scenes? Do you want to see people cheating and causing others pain? Do you like watching people so unlikeable that even those with the lowest of self-confidence can point to them and remark, "Well at least I'm not like them." Then NTR is for you.
Not only is NTR filled with terrible people doing terrible things, but it's also a terrible story filled with terrible characters. First off all of these characters besides the main guy are unlikeable. Yuma is at least meh, but she still does terrible things even though it should be obvious that what she's doing is wrong. Ultimately I view her more as the scapegoat for Hotaru's abuse rather than someone to hate on her own. However, her…
