Well, I don't know about those reviewers, but I liked it. Frankly, I wish it had been a little longer mainly so they could have done a little more with the characters' stories and still had time for the sex.
Am I the only one who is baffled at this? The anime "Green Green" itself was based on an ero-game of the same title by the softhouse Groover.

Right now it looks like the only studio that kind of aims in that direction is M.O.E. ("Love, Love?," "Smash Hit," "Cosprayers") but their stuff is too full of lolitas for my comfortability.
A. The majority of those shows are already aired very late at night that only otakus would care to watch. Ever heard of the 24, 25, 26, 27, or even the 28:00 hour? Those are the times these show air.

B. Even then, since they are shown on the airwaves, they are subject to the censor boards of the respective TV stations. Standards of what is acceptable and what isn't varies from TV station to station. In either case, most anime studios do not know what is okay and what is not until they show it to the TV studio producers.

C. Hence, shows like "Girls Bravo" and "DearS" had a lot of nudity covered with steam of hot baths in the original broadcast run. But, if you watch the DVD version, those are taken out.

D. Many marketers already do these in forms of bonus episodes and extra discs when you buy the DVDs. Of course, I do not know how DVDs are done in your country, but it is already the norm that distributors of anime companies incorporate bonuses to milk even more money out of kimo-ota's pockets.

I'd like to watch some of my favourite ecchi/harem anime, with more adult content.
No. If that held true, there wouldn't be ero-doujinshis that are based on ero-games. Try going to day three of Comike, and you'll see what I mean.
