Oh look...another sex show.

I think Funimation should change their name to Seximation...so people won't get confused that they license only ecchie anime from now on.

From the description I was hoping it would be a documentary akin to The Great Happiness Space. A pity, I would have been interested at a character study of actual people who participate in compensated dating

You do realize this is a live-action movie, right? Also, judging by the two English reviews IMDb links to, the titillation is (at least somewhat) balanced out by the less savory aspects of the subject material.

...why would they bother getting this? Also I feel like if I watched the movie I would just get pissed off.

At first I was thinking that this was going to be like The Great Happiness Space as well, I would think a documentary on the subject would be interesting to watch.
