Thoughts on Fencer of Minerva? Personally, I liked it pretty well. Yeah, it's derivative of Gor and seems like it's not sure whether it wants to deconstruct fetishization of sex slavery or play it straight, but it's pretty hot and has a surprisingly strong plot and rounded characters.

It's actually peak male dom. Women just realize they'd be happier as slaves, and FeMC who could be a princess is just like. 'Nah, Dominate, Degrade, Dick daddy.'
At the same time, she's into it, so kick it. It's not like Fernando, there's more than just capture, rape repeat. I don't think there's a female equivalent. But still, a plot heavy Femdom fantasy world with as much attention to detail as Fencer would be a fun watch.

What makes Diana's decision to choose the life of a slave all the more remarkable is the fact that she notably isn't some wilting flower. She's consistently shown to be competent, intelligent, strong-willed, a good fighter... and yet she's perfectly happy to act as Sho's slave even when she becomes a literal queen.
Hell, she's technically not even an actual slave for most of the series. It's easy to miss, but Sho manumits her at the end of the second episode, so she's a free woman in the eyes of the law from that point forward. There was nothing forcing her to act as though she was owned by him, she elected to do so of her own accord because she enjoyed it and was in love with him. Really, when you stop and think about it, it's almost empowering and shows that you can be sexually submissive without being pathetic.

Yeah. Just one line bugged me. Right at the end Some dude is like "You've inspired women all over the country to embrace being the slave of their man."
Like, I'm pretty sure some would be into it. Probably another good fraction that would be like "That bitch is crazy. If it was me or my man who was going to be wearing rags and a loin cloth at the end of the day, then that cloth would be swinging with dick and balls by sundown."

I also like the revenge arc. Simple, to the point and satisfying.

Anyone else like to imagine that Sho and Diana will have a shared harem? If they ever make a new installment, I'd love for it to open up with them going down to the slave market, buying themselves a new concubine, and introducing her to the other girls before they break her in.

One thing I always wondered is what happened to Diana's mother, Hilda.
>>
>>
>>8671967
I'm sorry, are you talking about the coup where Sho's father died or his own coup against Diana's father? Because that wasn't true either way; Hilda was shown to still be alive twelve years after her family came to power, and Sho wanted to spare King Randis (the fact that he took his own life wasn't Sho's fault), so it's incredibly unlikely that he would've targeted her.

I do have to wonder if the story would stand on its own if you cut out the smut. They were obviously trying to give the series a plot that wasn't just an excuse to facilitate the sex scenes, but how well did they succeed? Would people watch this if it wasn't a hentai?

I think every part would work except the part where he ties up the bratty girl and sells her for a penny. The idea of making the penny into a necklace and having her wear it as a pendant was a pretty clever narrative touch, tho. That one bit of the story deserves a “you did better than porn” gold star.

This moment is such a comedic head-scratcher. She's tied to the bed and is like "Oh, my husband is coming! Hide!" Like, you can tell she's into it enough to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, at the same time she is really committed to her own monogamy (For his dick anyway, she is pussy flexible.)

She eventually started embracing the idea, though.

The sword and sorcery episode that looked like a second generation VHS rip with applied subtitles where stocking was turned into a dragon, Panty a barbarian warrior and the demon sisters turned into a double headed, double vulvad' dragon.

What I find rather interesting is the fact that, while Diana definitely submits to Sho when it comes to their relationship, they're more like partners when it comes to dealing with the challenges they face.

I like how Diana, while submissive to Sho in sexual matters, is effectively his partner in everything else. It keeps her character consistent and avoids making her come across as a useless tagalong Sho has to babysit.

I've thought about him. He's good, but I was wanting more than a simple imitation of style. There is a soul in these old anime(hentai included) that I want to see in my commissions. That takes someone with a passion for and an understanding of the works of these earlier periods. There's just something about older anime that can't be easily reproduced.
>>
>>8670222
I've been watching it and I am pleasantly surprised at how good the narrative is. It is basically a drama and action short series with sex and nudity. It also did the cool thing by showing slavery and slaveholding in a more positive manner.

Isn't she suggested in-universe to be pretty buxom? I distinctly remember Patris being a bit jealous of her body in general and her breasts in particular.

I think we can infer from canon that they'd be more concerned with their pleasure than that. Sure, we can assume that they'd demand submission from their slaves, but they wouldn't be selfish about it.
Speaking of which, I wonder how a newly-purchased slave might react to see the Queen start referring to her husband as "master" when they were away from prying eyes.

What did he mean by this?
No, seriously, what DID he mean by this? Were the writers trying to imply that he genuinely didn't understand that what he was doing was wrong?
>>
>>
>>8822583
They meant he was a sadistic lunatic. Either he couldn't believe that his love would be rejected, and likely he isn't capable of love but perceives any donation of his affection as love because nobody deserves him, but he gives anyway, or he's just lying and trying to talk his way out of being killed.
