I would encourage readers, alongside watching the show, to brush up on the general concept and background of the show by browsing the associated Wikipedia page. But this is not a review of the show itself. Recently, after (painstakingly) tracking down all the music for ScumвЂ™s Wish, IвЂ™ve had all the more reason to think on it. ItвЂ™s been almost a year, and generally, a week doesnвЂ™t go by that I donвЂ™t have some memory of the anime or some other reason to recall it.

While I will be referencing concepts from the TV show, before continuing on to the music reviews, I cannot state enough how much this anime impacted me. I would implore you to do so, perhaps before reading the following reviews. Amazon added the English-subtitled localization of the show to their premium channel вЂњAnime Strike,вЂќ which is now-defunct, meaning anyone with an Amazon Prime account can now access the show without incurring any additional charge.

Last year, Fuji TV aired the 12-episode anime adaptation of Mengo YokoyariвЂ™s manga Kuzu no Honkai, which had the unfortunate translated title ScumвЂ™s Wish (note: this was not a decision on the part of localization the title existed from the start in the Japanese manga). I found something I didnвЂ™t even know I wanted in ScumвЂ™s Wish.

Which is to say, I finally found a piece of Japanese pop culture that took on the topics of sex and romantic relationships with some nuance and maturity. While I very much doubt that this is the first TV anime to break the mold, it is the first one to which IвЂ™ve been exposed. This is not a judgment to any of you who are fans. (And I wonвЂ™t even begin to get into concepts like вЂњfan serviceвЂќ or bouncing breasts вЂњchichi yuri.вЂќ ItвЂ™s all quite childish to me. That not only made me uncomfortable, it left me with a moral dilemma time after time more often than not, I sided with team chaste over time libertine. They may have had better plots and production value than a cheesy American porno, but their express purpose was to titillate and turn on. For decades, those were the words that I associated with virtually all вЂњhentaiвЂќ Japanese animation and erotic games (eroge).
