Okizari Reloaded

At the end of 2014, Orphan did a couple of hard-core h-anime that had been left unfinished. They didn't go through the same process as normal projects, and none of the staffers who worked on them wanted to be identified. Accordingly, Orphan established an h-anime "sub-brand", Okizari (which means "deserted" in Japanese), for these shows. They got uploaded to various torrent sites and forgotten.

Orphan has been quite inconsistent about using the Okizari label. Shadow (Kage) was released as Orphan; in fact, it was Orphan's first release. "Softer" h-anime like Kakyuusei, Dokyuusei 2, Tenkousei, etc. have also been released under the Orphan label. The distinction was always pretty arbitrary, and I don't see any reason to deny that Okizari releases are Orphan projects.

The five Okizari titles to date are:

• Inma Daitoshi (Beast City), episode 3 - censored.
• Kaguya-hime: Taketori Monogari - can't tell; the raw is really bad.
• Kunoichi Bakumatsu Kitan, complete - second episode censored.
• Lunatic Night, episode 3 - uncensored.
• Kininaru Kimochi, episode 4 - censored.

I'm not going to provide an "analysis" of the single episode releases; what's the point? In any case, they're now all available on the Orphan IRC bot. This fulfills a request made nearly a year ago in the comments section of the blog.
