AniWorthStep Up Love Story
Introduction
Makoto and Yura Onoda are a newly-wed couple with zero sexual experience. Yura is a shy and naive 25-year-old woman whose good looks grab men's attention, something that she dislikes because she gets embarrassed very easily. Her husband Makoto is of the same age, but as opposed to his wife, he loves having dirty thoughts about other women. Physically though, Makoto is truly faithful to Yura.
Both of them may be virgins, but now that they are married, they are ready to dive into the world of sex, "practicing" as often as possible. However, the world of sex is complex, so they need all the help they can get to find their way through it. Thankfully, their friends, acquaintances, and porn media lend them a helping hand.

*THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS*
Damn, who thought that my very first review would be of a hentai lol
Story: 7
Futari no Ecchi is a hentai ova. At first glance, it may seem like a common hentai. The dude mc has a 12-inch long schlong, the female mc is most likely r*ped, mind-controlled, or just shown to be a really horny slut. But no. This OVA has one of the most wholesome, down to earth and has actually believable relationships in terms of hentai. It's a simple story about a newlywed couple Makoto and Yura Onoda. They are just like any other newlyweds; somewhat awkward and shy. Both of them are virgins and don't know much about sex and this anime shows their struggle to get used to each other and learn more about sex for their own sakes. Both of them are considerate of each other…

The anime explores an young couple in a very unrealistic early marriage, but if I wanted to watch real life I wouldn't be here in the first place.
The couple exploration of living together and, most importantly, sleeping together is cute and what drives you to watch the next episode.
The art still has that aesthetics from classic 90's anime but in the other hand the animation is over simplistic, lacking in detail and sometimes awkward. Same goes for the sound with non-memorable music.
Characters are blunt and have none to little dept.
Overall its an light watch, the anime has it's funny moments and situations, its nice to follow the protagonist's relationship development discovering sex and trust.

I don’t think I can have any kind of opinion on the romantic-comedy genre as a whole. I’d rather preach that you should enjoy what you watch rather than try to pick on what others like. Truth be told, the handful of romance anime that I’ve sat down and really watched range from decent to spectacular. Unfortunately, a few series of the romance genre don’t make me think of them as spectacular. Instead, these certain anime make me feel MISERABLE when I watch them. Of course, I am talking about Futari Ecchi. I can’t believe I’m doing this, and consider it more unbelievable that I ever watched this ova. What’s more infuriating is the simple fact that this anime is nothing more than garbage. I don’t even want to talk about, but that would negate the purpose of reviewing it... Watching this anime…

That awkward moment when you are expecting a romantic comedy and the softcore porn rolls out... but what the hell right? Lets just talk about it.
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. However these two troopers just keep on trucking (or fucking as the case may be...) and these two crazy kids eventually get the hang of things.
Along 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 som…

[SPOILER WARNING]
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. LIKE I CARE. So they get married and start shagging. The end.
Well, okay, a few other things happen. Yura's slutty sister shows up and causes trouble. Makoto's sexually frustrated cousin shows up and causes trouble. The student Makoto used to tutor shows up and tries to seduce him (trouble). Yura gets a job as a waitress in a maid café. They go to a hot springs resort. Yes, this show has been beaten half to death with the cliché stick and proceeds to stagger around bruised and bleeding for 100 torturous minutes.
And while Step Up Love Story is billed as a comedy, I found mys…

Futari Ecchi is an Adult ecchi comedy about people who really love each other. During the course of the series, they are learning to accept each other for the good and bad about themselves. Yes, there is some ecchiness in the 4 OVA's like the title suggests. However, very few animes have ever captured what it is really like to be married in the way that it has done. Off the top of my head, probably only Onegai Teacher did as good of job as Futari Ecchi in portraying the awkwardness of two people coming together in marriage for what ever reason in Anime during the last couple of years. It may not be a title for all anime lovers, but I would recommend it for someone wanting a romantic comedy that you can feel good about after you watch it. Just be sure to watch with someone you love by your…
