The first time I encountered "The Rapeman" was a trilogy of videos in the early days of YouTube, from around 2006 to 2009, called Rapeman Begins, Rapeman Returns, and Rapeman Forever. A little more than 10 years later, I suddenly stumbled across these videos again while browsing reddit, and after being surprised that they're still floating around out there on the internet, I finally decided to seek out and watch the anime that these videos take their footage from.

Based on a manga that run from 1985 to 1992, The Rapeman, (or The Reipuman), is a satirical black comedy series that follows Keisuke Iwasaki, a popular high school PE teacher by day and the notorious "Rapeman" at night. He collaborates with his uncle, a former surgeon, to dispense his brand of justice on behalf of clients who seek the assistance of their business, the appropriately titled "Rapeman Services". Be it exacting vengeance on an ex-lover, mending the relationship between a daughter and her parents, or suppressing the anger of a disgruntled employee, Keisuke never falters in completing his assigned contracts. Whenever corrupt women wander, the Rapeman arrives to forcibly change their sullied hearts.

This two episode OVA series is so offensive, over-the-top, and out there, that it's ends up being incredibly hilarious to watch purely on how absurd it is. It's some of the finest black comedy that I've seen in an anime. I would review the animation or audio, but we all know that's not why we're here (they're both decent by the way, for the 2 people who care).

My only real complaint is that it's only 3 episodes long. I never thought that I would say this about a hentai, but I wanted more plot. That's right, I want more plot from this hentai. The explicit sex isn't the real focus here anyway, as the comedy and silly nature of the series is whats driving it. The manga had been finished by this point for 2 years, and there was plenty more to adapt. So much to adapt that there were several live action movies, and yes, a series of live action movies DOES exist based on this series.

Should you watch The Rapeman. Hell yes, it's an instant hentai classic. And you should definitely follow it up with the original manga, the live action series, and the previously mentioned comedy dub that exists out there somewhere on Youtube if it hasn't been taken down already.
