I can only feel grateful. First and foremost, I got the impression that this work has been subjected to quite strict expression regulations. Despite such constraints, I am filled with nothing but gratitude for the production team who, through trial and error, continue to deliver time-stop works to the world.
This series is undoubtedly one of the recommended works within the time-stop genre, and I feel that this particular piece has been crafted to the highest possible quality under the current circumstances. Those who couldn't care less about the industry's situation may not agree, but I want to acknowledge their efforts.
Additionally, I'm pleased that it faithfully carries on the lineage of Tokitome-san. As expected, works involving Tokitome-san consistently give an impression of high quality and stability. I sincerely hope there will be another opportunity for Tokitome-san to appear again.
A masterpiece. Hikari Imada's entrance scene is already brimming with Edo-period atmosphere, and it will undoubtedly shine as the number one among the works I've purchased this year. I'm truly filled with gratitude. While holding great expectations for the next work, I'm also looking forward to it with my feelings for Pokote-chan growing even stronger.
A deeply meaningful AV work packed with content. I was truly surprised by the long runtime of about 5 hours. However, each chapter didn't feel rushed, and every actress had a well-prepared showcase, resulting in a highly satisfying work.
The camera work is also excellent, with almost no wasted angles. The careful capture of subtle changes in the actresses' expressions is truly the pinnacle of the time-stop genre. I felt it was wonderful that it wasn't just a cheap production of zooming in on body parts, but rather balanced storytelling with visual beauty.
Tokitome's Nephew A new character claiming to be the nephew of "Tokitome" goes on a rampage at the school where he works. The setting of a teacher who is usually completely ignored by his students adds a really nice flavor. Watching him successively trample over the female students who are enjoying their sparkling youth (aoharu) made me feel that he has truly inherited the genes of his great uncle, and I was satisfied.
It's a bit disappointing that despite casting talented performers like Kana Yura and Kotone Fuyuai, the stage is set in a high school. With such a lineup, I wish they had gone for a more aggressive, smaller school setting.
Also, the limitation of only being able to stop time for 10 minutes was personally a letdown. A longer duration or different restrictions might have been more interesting.
However, the ending featured a development reminiscent of a Marvel movie, with "Tokitome Matsumoto will return," and that heart-pumping direction unexpectedly raised my expectations. As a setup for a sequel, it was a brilliant conclusion.
I'm grateful they released it. I was glad to see that even with a different protagonist, the familiar face-licking play was still present! The actresses were also charming, and the school setting scenario is truly the best. I'm grateful that this series continues to be released even as time-stop works have decreased. I hope they'll try various scenarios and release them regularly. However, if I had to nitpick, I wish they had let us enjoy the underwear more slowly. It's a bit of a shame that they take it off so quickly. Also, scenes with more male actors tend to feel a bit messy. The development where the male classmates get excited by the time stop was good, and while this time's male actor managed to express excitement decently, I'd like to see even more passionate acting. I want the kind of intensity that Tokitome Matsumoto brings.
