It’s been a while since I wrote something like this.

Years ago, when I was getting accustomed to the furry community, I was keeping up with a comic known as Kuroodod ’s Oversexed Eeveelutions. I decided to write my personal thoughts about it as it was still being made on a weekly basis. I had a lot to say about it since I read it for so many years… then Nintendo had to come in and ruin it not only for Kuro, but for all the people that loved this comic. As great as the sex scenes were in the comic, there are also a lot of things that I personally don’t like about it.

I went on about the good aspects and how enticing all those ass shots, ball shots and pussy shots that Kuro was able to make, with a bit of comedic captions scattered throughout. The exaggerated expressions that some of the characters can have are reminiscent of what a typical comedic anime can have; which makes complete sense, knowing how it’s Pokemon. Some of them were pretty funny when they were used. The kinds of kinks that ensued were aiming to appeal to more stuff (hard doms, soft doms, secretive/stealth sex, mild foot fetish, power bottom, exhibition) than just typical vanilla sex, which is fantastic in this situation. The sex scenes that Kuro made were always engaging to watch, even if it was for one or two pages before climaxing or moving onto another act with some of the pokemon. I get that it was a weekly comic so the viewers can anticipate new encounters from the other eeveelutions, so the few pages some of it had was understandable.

Then, there were the bad aspects that felt like it was being too mean-spirited and disrespectful towards Sam by a majority of the others. This kind of plot will easily go bad when the character isn’t deserving of such ridicule. Sam is just trying to live his life, and they all don’t respect him, make fun of him, make him feel worse about himself, threaten him and borderline abuse him. This garbage behavior and mistreatment only ends up dampening the enjoyment of the comic. Sam may seem like everyone walks all over him and/or treat him like a literal and figurative punching bag, but he does have his limits with some of the crap they give him. If Sam was named after a sin (outside of the main seven), he would most likely be Resentment. Anyone in Sam’s position in this comic would straight-up hate and resent everyone with a burning passion.

The only ones that actually cared about Sam and treated him right were Karma and Pride. He was on good terms with them and had a passionate moment with both, to make sure their encounters were enjoyable and mutual. Karma may be oblivious at times, but he’s still genuinely caring for the eevee.

I guess the only thing Pride wasn’t innocent of was threatening Sam in the letter she gave him, but that’s pretty much it. Sam couldn’t really be mad at her for secretly recording his special moment since he actually thinks highly of Pride, and he enjoyed every moment of it. Even then, God knows what she could have done if Sam didn’t go to her that morning.

Gluttony was funny to an extent with his personality. It may have been a bit too over-the-top with the ghetto lingo he was using with Sam, but was only putting on an act to troll the eevee. In his case, he was doing the do with him to apologize for his little vore prank on Sam, but all because Sam made a joke about his lingo, he takes it back and becomes a bigger asshole than before. Sam had every right to give that ass a smack, which gave Gluttony some well-deserved comeuppance. It only took a matter of time before the eevee snapped, but it was absolutely warranted here.

Lust almost never bothered to listen to Sam when trying to “apologize”, knowing that he was the cause of what started the whole comic to begin with. His apology felt like putting a small bandage on top of an open fracture. He was delighted to embarrass him more on top of whatever happened before, gleefully not giving a shit that almost risked Sam being made fun of even more with the whole Karma encounter.

Sloth was being a bit too analytical and with Sam’s whereabouts, acting more shallow, messing with him, and (may or may not be) blackmailing him on top of the shit that Wrath was giving him. Obnoxiously analyzing him like this would give her no personal gain other than to make Sam feel more embarrassed about himself. The eevee tries so hard to not be boastful about his romps with the others, and yet Sloth just has to come out, acknowledge it to his face and take joy in making him feel bad. She’s like the female equivalent of Nelson Muntz. If Sam actually told her off or sucker punched her for it, I honestly wouldn’t mind.

Greed was a stereotypical sexually abusive dominatrix-like figure while obviously living up to her name, by having enough cash to blow it on toys instead of giving Sam a lock to his door (which implies that almost no one respected his privacy before all of this even started). Envy, as predicted, was trying to piggyback onto Greed with her antics, always wanting in on the action. Envy’s personality never really amounts to anything other than “I want what Greed wants” all the time, so there’s not much to say about her.

And Wrath was the worst one of all… at first. I never really expected him to be a “nice” character, but holy shit, I was not prepared for how loathsome he would be when he was introduced. Wrath was the entire reason why Sam was miserable with the way things were from the start: mocking him for being gay, trying to get an undeserved apology out of Sam for being rightfully pissed that he was made fun of in training, being a hypocrite for doing the same shit when he gets pissed in training, and downright physically abusing Sam. The stuff that came from him wasn’t typical bullying, it felt more on par to actual ill-natured, self-entitled, abusive behavior. If Sam held his ground and didn’t apologize to Wrath in that scene, it wouldn’t have been so bad because Sam shouldn’t apologize for being the victim of those insults. Even though Sam did, Wrath still slams him through the wall. I don’t find this funny, I find it cruel, petty, and detestable that Wrath would be like this. As you can tell, I was pretty furious when he first got introduced, and to start him off with him being this much of an unpleasant abusive asshole just makes my blood boil. With all being said though… he did get better over time, so I’ll get to that shortly.

I said this before and I will repeat it here: it’s not entirely meant to be an I-love-you-lets-fuck kind of comic; there are reasons for why they do the do with each other with some mild rivalry. This story method is appreciable when done right. The only problem is that porn comics shouldn’t give me reasons to hate the characters being involved in the sexual acts. I totally get that characters can be mean, I’m no stranger to it, but characters like this need to have some sort of consequence or comeuppance for their actions. The eeveelutions were all clearly named after the seven deadly sins, excluding Karma, so they were supposed to have a fitting personality. However, the way Kuro wrote them ended up making most of them into completely unlikeable asshole-eons, ganging up on Sam to make him miserable someway somehow. Kuro’s comic could use a few more patches here and there so Sam’s a bit more of a tough cookie with the others, to at least try not to take anybody else’s crap.

The one thing I absolutely have to give credit for is when Wrath finally admitted that he was a massive asshat to Sam. Even though Wrath said he “must be cruel to be kind”, that is still not an excuse to be this much of a shithead to someone who doesn’t deserve it. Wrath goes through a bit of a realization of his crap when he receives a small taste of his own verbal medicine by Sam in training before his arc. The leafeon apologized out of his own guilt after all the shit that he gave to Sam. In a way, it’s mainly a Gideon Grey-type of redemption: where a character eventually realized how much of a jerk they were after a long while, so they apologize and reconcile with the person/people they wronged. Wrath also got a bit more verbal payback from Sam, but he still made the dirty talking rough sex mutual between them. It tied up those loose ends and redeemed the leafeon in the end of the third volume.

Sloth isn’t that bad compared to Wrath, Greed and Envy. When she’s good to Sam, she’s alright, but her awfulness can be as frustrating as Lust’s. Sloth’s analysis bullshit and possible stalking is undoubtedly irritating. It still irks me that she didn’t get any consequence for it.

I guess the kind of comeuppance Greed got, if anyone could call it that, was Envy calling her out on her shithead antics, and then be involved in a more aggressive off-screen session.

I completely understand that Kuro wanted to do something more than have one eevee do it with all the other eeveelutions over the volumes, as Pride foreshadowed in her arc. However, I personally think it should have ended when Sam finally did it with Wrath in volume three. Again, it felt like everything came full circle and he made up for his actions.

I had no idea what to expect when Kuro planned to do more volumes, but the glimpse of what could have been looked even better for the series. I think what the saddest part about all of this was that the original OSE was starting to get better since nobody was treating Sam like garbage anymore in what was supposed to be volume four.

It’s still a shame that Nintendo had to ruin it for everyone, but his Oversexed Evolutions (and Pals) comic still carry along that hot passion that Kuro’s art provides. In all honesty, I think the direction of his new comic fixes a lot of the writing from OSE; especially now that everyone actually treats Sam with the respect that he rightfully deserves.
