Shinji Yagami is Vanilla Series' poor excuse of making the character stand out by taking the names of Evangelion's Shinji Ikari and the King of Fighters' Iori Yagami. I just had to get that out of the way, so excuse me. Let me start again.
Shinji Yagami follows his classmate's advice and finds a website that has images of the girls in his school being raped. So, when he finds one of the girls in the nurse's office, he pounces on her. That's how it started.
Dark is 100% rape fantasy and probably about 5% chivalry. Shinji's partner in crime, Satoshi, is a sadistic so-and-so who states that sex is about "the man getting off and not having to worry about how the woman feels." (Is that the mindset of all the guys behind the creation of hentai anime?) The two guys leave most of the girls either in shock or crying in the dark. But what he said really isn't the case-in-point all the time. Because after Shinji pounces his ex-girlfriend Nana; she joins in and accepts the idea that all men are sexfiends. And when he and Satoshi pounce on their English Teacher, she turns out to be an S&M junky. And the show's not even close to seeing poetic justice just yet.
Animation wise; Dark is not as good as other hentai under the Vanilla sky. It suffers from "rapidly disappearing clothing syndrome." And yeah, I agree that what Vanilla's releasing (through Critical Mass / Right Stuf) is pushing the envelope a bit too hard in terms of theme and timing.
