Hentai Kamen 2: The Abnormal Crisis

HK 変態仮面 アブノーマル・クライシス

The Mac with the nutsack is back, proving that we will always have weird Japan, which beats Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice any day. Shikijo Kyosuke (a singularly beefy Suzuki Ryohei) tries to find a healthy balance between his new life as an ordinary college student and his secret pervy heroics as Hentai Kamen, whose superpowers – a result of the combined genetic legacy of his masochistic detective father, who died in the line of duty, and his mother, a deranged, sadistic dominatrix – are triggered by wearing his cute girlfriend Aiko's panties on his head. But after a lover's quarrel, Aiko (Shimizu Fumika) demands the return of her underwear. Bad timing: there is a worldwide disappearance of panties. Unable to transform into Hentai Kamen, Kyosuke falls into the doldrums just as he is challenged by a dangerous new foe. Crotch-based martial arts, fishnets, pathos, humor, mankinis, and a literal panty storm are all on perverted display in this sequel to the 2013 NYAFF Audience Award winner.
