Reviews

"Kandagawa Pervert Wars" holds a niche position within Japanese cinema, particularly in the adult comedy genre of the 1980s. On IMDb, the film has a rating of 5.0/10, indicating a mixed reception among viewers. Some reviewers appreciate the film’s boldness in candidly depicting youth sexuality and its satirical take on societal conventions, praising Usagi Asō's energetic performance and Kaneko's quirky directorial style. However, critics also point out the uneven pacing and a plot that sometimes feels more like a series of loosely connected vignettes rather than a cohesive narrative. The film's explicit content and humorous tone may not suit all audiences, often polarizing viewers. While it doesn't enjoy broad critical acclaim or extensive coverage from sites like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, "Kandagawa Pervert Wars" remains a cult curiosity among fans of Japanese erotic comedies, noted for its unique portrayal of 1980s Japanese youth culture and its unorthodox cinematic approach.
