It's unfortunate that Yamada’s First Time contains nudity, because youngsters in their early teens could really learn a great deal from the show. Especially when they’re at an age where they’re becoming sexually active and their parents shy away from answering their questions, leaving them to figure out things on their own. The show establishes something very essential early on that most people don’t figure out till they're older: women are crazy and men are totally clueless as to how to make them happy. Many youngsters can be spared a lot of heartache and pain by watching this. Oh how I wish this was around for me to watch when I was a teenager.
Frankly speaking, Yamada’s First Time is the story about a fifteen year old girls journey to become a whore. Not only does this fact alone set the pedophila alarm bells ringing at the very notion of wanting to watch this, but exploring the other side of this double standard might make people feel even more uneasy. Society likes to pretend that women don’t have sexual thoughts, desires, and drives. Gladly this show does a great job at shattering that perception, because no matter what third-wave feminism may misinform you about, it shows the reality that men and women aren’t that different.
Like most straight men, Yamada has a personal goal of sleeping with one-hundred partners. The only problem is, she’s a virgin who has never had a boyfriend, so she knows nothing about sex or relationships. Basically, she’s on a boat and she set sail for a distant land that she has no idea how to get to. She meets a young man by the name of Kosuda who likes her, but has no clue as to how to win her affections. Yamada puts poor Kosuda though all types of grueling mental anguish and emotional distress. She does everything to express to him that she’s not interested in his advances, yet when he stops trying to pursue her, she then gets frustrated and wonders why. “Dat feels bro, dat feels,” I know. I can only imagine the terrible flashbacks the guys reading this review are having of their youth right now. Long story short, Yamada and Kosuda go through much trial & error that eventually lead up to them being intimate with one another. However, much like everyone’s first time, it’s clumsy and awkward, and they then have to figure that out as well.
Yamada’s First Time is a very candid and sincere with its subject matter and humor. I highly recommend taking a trip down memory lane and watching it. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
