The OVA also led to a light novel released later in the same year which I found a bit odd considering the titular Kekko Kamen’s design is pivotal to the story (yes, light novels do tend to include illustrations, but Kekko Kamen must be seen to its full extent). Go Nagai’s campy action/dark comedy Kekko Kamen (1974-1978) debuted as a manga comprising five volumes before being adapted into a four-episode OVA by Studio Signal (1991-1992). In a nutshell, Kekko Kamen is a manga-turned-series about degeneracy, misogyny, and overcoming both while clad in nothing but…well, nothing. Regardless, I have learned that my anime tastes are rather vanilla in comparison. Whether or not they’re reading too much into a series that’s supposed to be absurd. Kekko Kamen is not even that, per say, but…it’s definitely one of those things that makes one question whether or not what they’re seeing is real. Sometimes, you happen upon a premise that just leaves you speechless. I admit, I’m not quite sure where to begin with Kekko Kamen.
