O Maidens in Your Savage Season (Season 1)

O Maidens in Your Savage Season (2019) is a coming-of-age anime you can watch online on iFILM. Five girls in a high school literature club kick off an honesty game: what's the one thing you want to do before you die?

One of them blurts out a single word — "sex" — and the awkward silence that follows sets off a whole season of confusion. Each girl carries her own temperament and backstory: one falls in love for the first time, another mistakes intimacy for affection, another recoils from her own body. The series talks frankly about teenage desire, shame and first experiences, looking straight at what most shows flinch away from.

It was written by Mari Okada, a screenwriter known for raw, aching stories about youth (Anohana, The Anthem of the Heart). The result is clumsy, funny and at times painfully familiar — especially if you remember being sixteen. Stream every episode of O Maidens in Your Savage Season online on iFILM.
