Mixed Feelings
In the distant future, technology has reached the point that humanity was able to create Silhouettes, robots controlled remotely through human thought for the more dangerous but necessary jobs. However, when human thoughts turn to other things, Silhouettes can become very dangerous. Rika and Sandy, two Silhouette scientists, are drawn into the world of sex crime to uncover perpetrators for sex crimes involving Silhouettes.

Surprisingly, this is actually a pretty decent premise. If it wasn't stapled on to a sub-par hentai, it could have actually been at least competent if a more talented team was attached to it. It's like the distant cousin of something like Bubblegum Crisis. Hell, even if you wanted to embrace the fact that this is a hentai where you can feel everything your robot feels, and this is used by the bad guys, it could have been used to the hentai's advantage for a niche audience.

And while a lot of this hentai tends to miss a lot more than it lands, the fact that I can even point to decent character moments and jokes that actually had some effort put into them is nice. I just wish the whole thing had some more talent behind it. The fact that stuff like Midnight Panther and Spaceship Agga Ruter exists proves that you can have a hentai with some effort behind it.

Unfortunately, the OVA ends after one episode, and on a cliffhanger, that means nothing is going to get developed beyond what is in this single episode. And while it's not a classic by any stretch, it certainly had potential, which is more than I could say for most hentai.

The only reason to go even consider watching this is if you're really are just that desperate for that mid-90s cyberpunk or sci-fi anime aesthetic. But if you're not willing to have the embarrassment of having to watch a hentai to get it, then maybe avoid this one.

However, I still don't know why the distribution company for the English release went with the title "Sexorcist". Seems more appropriate for a parody of something featuring spirits or demons than something with robots. The alternate title "Robosex" or original Japanese title "Puppeteer" seems more appropriate, but I guess that wouldn't stand out in the piles of terrible anime that were being shoveled onto store shelves at the time.
