When you read the back of the case you could be forgiven
for thinking that this was hentai. But this is not the case (well nearly).
Both episodes tell tales of troubled loves which are guided together by the
goddess of love Kaguya. The first episode – Dead girl’s can’t talk – features
lesbians, murder attempts and bad dialogue but thankfully there is plenty of
humour too. This comes in the form of a boy besotted with Ikuko becoming a girl
in order to save her from death and somehow just by doing that he does. If you
want hentai then you will get it from this episode, but not the next.
The second episode – The lover’s guide – goes easy on the sex and concentrates
more on the story and comes up with some good stuff. Satoshi isn’t having much
luck with Mika as he is scared of women and so Kaguya decides to help. However
her assistant helps more and for some reason part of that help involves being
transported into a video game. This somehow makes everything ok.
All in all Rei Rei is a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand it can be described
as hentai, although no more then what Urotsukidoji is, and on the other it can
be very funny and perfect to watch with a few mates and some beers. Female
anime
fans may not take kindly to Rei Rei though as the focus of both episodes is that
women are evil sexual predators and men will save the day by erm….having sex
with them.
