Discode [Episode 1 to Episode 3]

Discode: A Dark Dive into Taboo Desires – Episode 1 to 3 Review

If you’re into anime that pushes boundaries and explores themes most shows wouldn’t dare touch, Discode (originally titled Discode: Abnormal Sexual Love) is a wild ride you won’t forget. Released in Japan between 2004 and 2005, this three-episode OVA (Original Video Animation) is based on a visual novel by Soft Circle Courreges and later brought to North America by Kitty Media in 2009. It’s not your typical romance or ecchi anime—this one dives deep into the darker, more taboo corners of human desire.

The Premise: A High School Girl with a Secret

The story follows Futaba, a high school girl with an insatiable sexual appetite. She’s not your average protagonist—she’s got a secret that sets her apart from her peers, and it’s not just her uncontrollable urges. Without spoiling too much, let’s just say her anatomy isn’t exactly conventional, and this fuels much of the show’s tension and eroticism.

From the very first episode, Discode doesn’t hold back. Futaba’s habit of indulging herself in public places (yes, even at school) sets off a chain of events that spirals into something much darker. The arrival of a new student, Kyouka, adds another layer of complexity, as she seems to have her own twisted agenda involving Futaba.

What Fans Are Saying

I scoured forums and discussions to see what other viewers thought, and the reactions are as mixed as they are intense. Here’s a taste of the chatter:

1. “The yuri sex was awesome!”
   One fan on MyAnimeList praised the show’s explicit scenes, particularly the dynamic between Futaba and Kyouka. It’s clear that for some, the erotic elements are the main draw.

2. “She could’ve at least tried to clean the stall up, smh.”
   Others found humor in Futaba’s lack of discretion. One commenter pointed out how her messy habits in the school bathroom led to a domino effect of chaos—something that’s both ridiculous and oddly fitting for the tone of the show.

3. “Incredibly hot, love futa on female.”
   For those who enjoy more niche fetishes, Discode delivers. The show leans heavily into its adult themes, and while it’s not for everyone, it certainly has its audience.

4. “Good thing they didn’t attach the balls on her.”
   This comment highlights how the anime tweaks certain aspects of the source material (likely the visual novel) to make it more palatable—or at least less extreme—for viewers.

Themes and Execution

Discode isn’t just about shock value, though. Beneath the surface, it’s exploring themes of identity, repression, and the consequences of unchecked desire. Futaba’s struggle with her urges and the way others manipulate her for their own ends adds a layer of psychological depth.

That said, the show’s execution is divisive. Some viewers appreciate its unflinching approach to taboo subjects, while others feel it leans too heavily into fetishization without enough narrative substance. The animation quality is decent for its time, though it’s clear the focus was more on the adult content than cinematic flair.

Final Verdict: Who Should Watch?

If you’re looking for something lighthearted or romantic, Discode is definitely not it. This is a show for mature audiences who are comfortable with extreme themes and explicit content. It’s a niche title that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t apologize for it.

For fans of dark, erotic anime, Discode offers a unique experience—one that’s equal parts disturbing and fascinating. Just be prepared for a wild, no-holds-barred journey into the depths of human desire.

Rating: 7/10
(For its boldness and niche appeal, though it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.)

Would I recommend it? If you’re curious and open-minded, give it a shot. But if you’re easily offended or prefer more mainstream anime, you might want to steer clear. Either way, Discode is a conversation starter—and that’s part of what makes it memorable.
