1. ElijahCSkuggs – ★★★★★
   “The series continues with R@peman 3: Girls Gone Wild. After having great international success with the previous R@peman adventures, R@peman has returned, and just like previous efforts this hits all the right spots, just ask Yoko. In this installment, R@peman Services has uncovered a secret involvement between the City Police and the local drug-dealers. Obviously, R@peman and Uncle are very up to the cause and nothing will stop them from righting wrongs through penetration! Just like in the other R@peman adventures you’re supplied with some soft and steamy scenes, some very light-hearted humor, and an occasional twist or two. The R@peman series sounds like they may be awful hate-filled movies, but they are anything but. They’re fun detective-based flicks with a side dash of vengeance. If you’re into the R@peman series, this is definitely worth checking out. My favorite Pinku series.”
2. dogfromthething – ★★★☆☆

   “This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth. Jenny best freeze frame ending.”

Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Callisto – ★★☆☆☆
   “This fourth entry may have found the most ‘justified’ reason for R@peman to r@pe someone. A guy’s fiancée just joined a religious cult. The only way she can get out of the cult is if she has s&x with someone outside of the cult. The reason the guy can’t do it is because he works for a politician. If word came out he raped his fiancée, that would be terrible for his career so he can’t do that. Keisuke and his uncle end up getting a tour of this religious cult’s headquarters to see what it’s all about (pyramid scheme and politics). They decide to become members themselves to get to the bottom of it.”
2. Dakota Noot – ★★★☆☆
   “R@peman is religious…because of course he is. While this didn’t quite match the third entry for me, this continues to be an improvement over the first two. There’s finally a coherent drama driving the story – and features a cult! A cult that he ends up saving? In real-life, the Tokyo subway sarin attack is a year away. Just like the offensive premise of the entire franchise, the cult storyline is presented in a strange, saccharine way. R@peman goes undercover in the cult – and even agrees with its ‘Father.’ You’re not learning any lessons from this superhero.”
3. BjorkShandy – ★★½☆☆
   “‘R@peman 4’ lacks the darker themes that gave the previous two installments the edge they needed to avoid feeling completely mundane and formulaic. ‘R@peman 4’ centers around a religious cult that ropes people in with a pyramid scheme. Many plot points center around the cult using people to gain money and with the already tired formula, it’s easy to see where the film is heading. ‘R@peman 4’ ends up feeling like more of a ‘King of Minami’ film than it does a seedy r@pe drama. There are only two r@pe scenes which is the least amount so far. Less r@pe is always a good thing… especially when the series is called ‘R@peman’.”
