"Nobody knows my face, but everybody knows my body. I am the messenger of justice, sent by God to this school of perversion! My name is Kekko... Kekko Kamen! I hide my face but expose all else." While this wasn't the women-empowering, albeit perverted, superhero romp I'd hoped it'd be, it was still a perverted superhero romp with lots of female characters to enjoy (and not just for their bodies), and that's good enough for me! I'm not going into a full-blown feminist critique of this show because hell, I'm not getting paid to do it, and few would probably read it. Suffice to say, you canview 'Kekko Kamen' as a satire of oversexualised female superheroes set in a trashy universe, or you can see it as yet another text making a woman's body her main character trait (Kekko Kamen is identified by her body and not her face, after all), as well as exclusively sexually exploiting female characters and not male ones (equality means I get to see some men sexually exploited, too!) -- although this is because the perverted principal is "not interested in the male students", in my opinion, the biggest perverts care not for gender and relish all bodies!

So while no men are punished, we do have a male character in episode 2 who IS sexualised, and this has to be the strongest moment of the anime -- when he uses his muscular body as a weapon to weaken/distract Kekko Kamen. The whole thing is bloody hilarious, and I recommend the show based on this episode alone! I also appreciated the character Yuka Chigusa not depending on Kekko Kamen to help her friend, Mayumi Takahashi, who's the main victim of the principal's punishments. Girl power, yeah!

My reaction to this show was very similar to the enjoyment the principal gets from punishing Mayumi Takahashi -- laughing gleefully at the absurdist humour and oggling at the big tits. If you find females being sexually compromised offensive, even in a humourous context, give this a pass (and maybe give all ecchi/hentai anime a pass, too).

"The crisis at the school is over for now. However, if the sales of this video are really good, she will return! For now, goodbye, Kekko Kamen. Thank you Kekko Kamen!"
