Please Rape Me!

first episode: 6/10 (incredible for hentai)
second episode: 2/10 (regular for hentai)
final score: 4/10 (disappointing but worth checking)

when i started the 1st episode i expected porn. the premise seemed slightly interesting about a guy that works in a video store, has a rape fetish and meets a girl with supposed-magical-powers that can sense if other girls want to be raped. the whole idea of girls wanting to be raped (thus not making it rape), a boy that wants to "rape" (even if it might not be rape) and a sidekick GIRL that guides him through to get his desires all made an interesting premise to me but i wouldn't expect a common hentai to try and examine those ideas.

contrary to my expectations the whole 1st episode was much more about characters, comedy and dialogue rather than sex. even the climatic sex scene feels more about story and characters rather than just plain porn. i found chidori, the main girl, to be interesting, stronger and smarter than the usual hentai girl and the whole question whether she really wants to be raped or not made the whole situation intriguing and on a higher level than the average hentai.

i was expecting the second episode to further explore the characters and topics the first episode set up - does ippei really want to "rape"? does it change anything to him knowing the girls want it as much as he does? does the girls really want to get raped? why?? where does sari got her powers from? are they true?? how does the chidori story arc ends? what did she do after the rape? what does she and ippei feel for each other now??

well none of those questions get any answers. in fact the second episodes throws everything the first episode builds. chidori does not even appear in the second episode! this is really annoying and strange since even sakura, which was way weaker and less interesting as a character then chidori appears in both episodes.

it feels like the writers and director of the first episode left the production completely, the second episode is as average hentai as it can get and really does not fit as a sequel to the first one. ippei even lacks his naive stress and anxiety which made him likable and he just comes off as a bad and hateful person. i think both episodes would've benefit had they been stand alone, but i think the 1st episode really deserves a continuation which sadly we will not receive.

as a hentai that felt more like a shounen romance with funny characters and somewhat taboo and intriguing subjects this pretty much could've been revolutionary, but the second episode holds it back from being so. perhaps in the future there would come a show which would be able to be hentai without neglecting its writing and characters. read more

Despite the title of the show this is actually pretty light-hearted.

I usually dislike hentais that focus more on characters/plot over actual sex scenes. since you know it's a hentai and all, but this one manages to keep you entertained inbetween sex scenes. Pretty funny and characters seem likeable, not bad at all.

8.5/10
