Synopsis:
Class Reunion Again is made up of two stories:
All About Mizuho - When pretty and softspoken Mizuho attends her class reunion, she meets her classmate Tatsuya again after a long time... and it seems their feelings for each other are starting to blossom.
All About Ayu - Ayu and Tatsuya have been friends since childhood, but Ayu realizes that her feelings for him have developed into something more.
Review:
I didn't need to be told that Class Reunion Again was based on a bishoujo game, since it unfolded exactly as a bishoujo game would. We have one guy, and two different love stories involving him. If this were a game, Tatsuya would be the hero and Mizuho and Ayu would be part of a group of girls which Tatsuya could pursue.

Class Reunion Again's two episodes share the same premises but are totally unrelated. The two stories begin in a class reunion, with Tatsuya focusing his attention on a certain girl. In "All About Mizuho", Tatsuya and Mizuho see each other after a long time and discover that both of them have remained unattached over the years. Sparks fly and the two develop a relationship during the course of a ski trip which their class subsequently organizes. In "All About Ayu", Tatsuya and his childhood friend Ayu's constant bickering incite teasing from their classmates. Ayu comes to realize that she's in love with Tatsuya, but Tatsuya seems oblivious to her feelings and continues to treat her as just a buddy.

Predictable and clichéd, there's really nothing special about Class Reunion Again's stories. What it does is play up is romance in all its sweetness -- eventually climaxing to a tender first-time sexual encounter between the couples. It is reminiscent of the softer hentai titles of yesteryear such as "End of Summer" and "First Loves", both of which are also based on bishoujo games.

The art and animation are nicely done. Sex is depicted with a lot of warmth, such that you can truly consider it as lovemaking rather than just the usual mindless banging. The sex scenes are depicted explicitly, albeit all that is featured are conventional means of foreplay and intercourse -- nothing wild or weird. The English dubbing is good enough too.

Class Reunion Again is a good hentai title to get cozy to, a great choice for guys who want to get their girls to watch porn without turning them off the genre.
