Euphoria (anime)

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

"Death is the most beautiful form of ecstasy"

A 2011 Hentai anime based on the Visual Novel of the same name.

Takato Keisuke, one of his teachers and his classmates had been imprisoned inside some kind of closed space by an unseen group of people. They must play a game to be allowed to leave: a sex game, where Takato must chose one of the girls to have sex, for apparently five times, to open the doors to the exit. Class representative Andou Miyako refuses to participate, and for that the people behind the game punish her: by being electrocuted in an electric chair. Watching Miyako dying, Takato feels sexually aroused by it, and imagines himself sexually abusing his childhood friend Hotari Kanae.

Takato ends up being caught by Nemu, who reveals similar sexual tastes and blackmails Takato under the threat of revealing his desires to the others. When it comes the time to chose, Nemu uses her lips to ask Takato to chose her.

Produced by Majin.

Tropes used in Euphoria (anime) include:
  • Adaptation Expansion: Several:
    • A entire extra scene of Takato imagining himself raping Kanae while watching Miyako agonize.
    • In the game, it's impossible for Takato to fail at saving more than one girl from the traps, and the ones he can't are his love interests. In Episodes 2 and 3, he fails at saving everyone but his love interests, and though the bad ending resembling the "dog" ending of the Kanae's route, with Nemu replacing Kanae, his chosen partner is shown to be alive and pregnant from him.
    • Episode 5's first example is this in the most disgusting way possible. Instead of having just two girls defecating and urinating through tubes in each other's orifices like Nemu in the game to make Takato give in to his urges, Kanae uses six, Nemu among them. Though, this time, there's no special tubes for urine. The scene where Takato is given a sex drug is also expanded because the girl he is going to have sex with is also given the drug.
    • Episode 5's second example less so. In the original game. Keisuke finding an amnesiac Nemu is the last scene of the true ending. Here, he actually takes her to see the stars as he promised in the past and they have sex.
    • Episode 6. In Rinne's route in the game it is never shown what happened to Natsuki. Here she joins Byakuya's cult and seems to lead them along Rika.
  • Adaptational Heroism: Beware of game spoilers:
    • Nemu, Episode 5. She isn't the leader of the delinquents, Kanae is.
    • Rika. She never joins the leader of the delinquents at school.
    • Natsuki. She doesn't seem to work for the people behind the game at all.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Zig-zagged.
    • Nemu and Kanae. In Episodes 2 and 3, it is given the impression that in this version Nemu is the scientist behind the experiment, unlike the game where is Kanae. Then in Episode 5 the plot follows the game more closely and Kanae is the villain, but in the game she isn't the one leading the school, Nemu is. The implication is that episodes 2 and 3 are probably VR simulations like in the game.
    • Rinne, Episode 6. Her cult was focused on physical punishment and in her route she does turn extremely unhinged, but not to the point she decapitates one of her own followers.
  • Adapted Out: The Woman in Black. Game spoilers ahead. In the game she was Natsuki in disguise, but here she never appears because either the endings don't include the brutal school regime or, in the case of Episode 5, the leader of it kills her.
  • Babies Ever After: Episode 4. In the end, both Rika and Natsuki are pregnant of Takato.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: What Kanae seems to want from Keisuke in Episode 2. Turns out his actual childhood friend is Nemu, and they develop one at the end of Episode 5.
  • Child by Rape: Episode 6. Takato is raped by Rinne and his cult. When he finally manages to escape using Byakuya as hostage, several women are pregnant from him.
  • Happily Married: Episode 6. Implied to be Keisuke and Rinne's case, specially since we do see them raising their little daughter together.
  • Hot Teacher: Natsuki Aoi has a pretty face, nice figure, and quite well endowed.
  • Love Potion: An extremely dark version of the Love At First Sight variation: it makes you incredibly horny towards the nearest person you see and not even orgasm stops it, but you're basically an euphoric animal in heat until the effect ends, with your mental capabilities greatly reduced, and you think about sex 100% of the time, if the effect ends. It also gives you extreme pleasure during sex.
  • Mate or Die: The basic premise. Miyako doesn't believe it and says she will not play, and the people responsible the game show to everybody else how literally they mean the word "elimination".
  • Nightmare Fetishist:
    • Takato gets aroused at the vision of Miyako, that he knows that is dying.
    • Nemu is no better, and actually takes a liking to him because he's getting aroused for Miyako's suffering.
  • Not So Stoic: What Takato wants to cause to Rinne through extremely sadistic sex in her first focus episode in the OVA. He does manage to finally make her show emotions...but not by torturing but by giving her pleasure instead of pain.
  • The Chosen One: Sort of. In Episode 6, Takato is supposed to be the father of said individual. It don't even needs to be one: Rinne makes Takato have sex with several women because she sees no problem with her ascetic cult having several of them.
  • The End - or Is It?: The end of Episode 6 of the anime, at the time of this writing the last episode. Rinne and Takato's daughter's drawings shows the keyhole symbol from the underground facility, and Natsuki and Rika seem to be leading the followers of Rinne and her mother's religion. What all of this even means? May we never know, as the visual novel has a totally different end for the sequence of events happening in that episode.
  • Two Plus Torture Makes Five: Episode 2. Keisuke has to force Kanae to say that she "feels good" as he subjects her to electrical torture as part of one of the games.
  • X Meets Y: The premise sounds like someone threw Saw and the works of the Marquis de Sade in a blender with very fast and sharp blades. Grab your vomit bag if you're too weak.....Or enjoy it if you're strong enough.
  • Zettai Ryouiki: Nemu has a grade A.
