Of groping proportions!
Imagine getting away with something that is illegal, but is
broken in every way. Xpress Train is a modern day hentai of
groping proportions. It is released by the same company that
handled Girl Next Door, Spotlight, and Stepmother’s
Sin.
It has the same setting as like Midnight
Sleazy Train, but that’s where the similarities
end. Japan is known for being a place that has a large population
and supported by an intricate mass transportation system.
The crowds of passenger on the train are like sardines in
a can. There are so many people. Incidental touching can be
a problem, especially if that’s the purpose of a particular
passenger.
Kazuo is a white collar worker, innocently traveling on the
train everyday…before he starts to notice something
much unexpected. Amidst the rest of the other passengers,
some men were groping women. At some point, it becomes so
lascivious that he’d witness actual sex on the public
train.
One time, being curious himself, he tries it and gets caught.
He then meets an old man, who, in time, teaches him to become
a master groper on the train. Kazuo learns slowly, passing
situation exams, and doing well for himself…until he
gropes Reiko.
The art for this title is a lot like the other recent titles
being released: details galore. Characters: crisp and Photoshop/computer
animated to the point of boredom. Kazuo reminds me of Ryouji
Kaji from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Reiko reminds me of Mizuho
from Onegai Sensei.
This feature explores many heterosexual fetishes. Finger
action is a dominant tool on the Xpress Train, with vibrators
and cameras being available as well.
Xpress Train has pretty nice background music; one can certainly
imagine the sun setting in an urban location. As for sounds
of sex, gasping and heavy breathing are constant. The Japanese
and English dialogue sound fine, so I have no complaints there.
Some of the dialogues can be quite hilarious. You wouldn’t
imagine someone shouting, “But I don’t lick! Come!”
Or, “Let the groping be with you!”
My opinion is that this is a lot better than Sex Train,
but the story’s not realistic. The participants are
actually consensual. In reality, a person could be slapped
with disorderly conduct, rape, etc. It is also unbelievable
to exhibit such behavior in a train and not being seen by
a good number of people.
Xpress Train though, is an enjoyable watch with a compelling
story — turning a despised topic into a fun, humorous
romp. This hentai also has equates actual emotions with character
explanations. Definitely a pretty good work. |
