Synopsis:
Cool Devices is a collection of eleven hentai short stories referred to as "operations". These operations are:

• Operation 1: "Curious Fruit" - An innocent girl named Ai is plunged into the underground world of sado-masochists and exhibitionists. But Ai likes it there...
• Operation 2: "Sacred Girl" - He has always been a bit obssessed with his sister, and she feels exactly the same way about him...
• Operation 3a: "Lover Doll" - It's about a man with a house full of female pets. 3b: "Winter Swimsuit" - A guy shreds his gal's swimsuit to bits with a blade while she's wearing it. 3c: "Enema" - A girl gets some serious anal treatment from her guy.
• Operation 4: "Kirei" - Two unsuspecting girls take a vacation on a beautiful island only to discover that the natives are too friendly to females.
• Operation 5: "Seek 1" - Marino Ohkura's an ordinary girl who somehow falls into the hands of some masochistic dominators. They're going to do things to her body that she never thought was possible.
• Operation 6: "Seek 2 (SM Queen Saki)" - Saki's a real experienced girl. So much so that she can no longer tell the difference between pleasure and pain... thus she tortures and molests her female acquaintances with such gusto.
  
• Operation 7: "Yellow Star" - Yellow Star is a drug that robs one of strength and will. Furthermore, it magnifies sensations. Beautiful Ayana's stepfather seems to have a limitless supply, making her daily life a perpetual nightmare...

• Operation 10: "Binding" - Masaki's on a train, dreaming about a woman he's never met. When he wakes up, he finds that his stuff has been stolen and that he's stranded... following a pleasant woman from ths station, Masaki stumbles upon a house full of women. The women take an immediate liking to Masaki, and when night falls, Masaki sees things not meant for his eyes...
  
• Operation 11: "Fallen Angel Rina" - A popular idol singer discovers that there are too many debts to pay and favors owed after her father's death. But they want her body as payment, and they want her to do things. All kinds of things.

Review:
In Cool Devices, several different authors and artists come together to bring you a unique brand of hentai. Every operation showcases a different story-telling and animation style, and the themes range anywhere from voyeurism to incest. Cool Devices is notorious for its sexual content. There's a whole lot of kinky stuff, shown in their full uncensored glory. Bondage, S&M, body-piercing, orgies, toilet activities, electricity... you name it and Cool Devices's got it. Some of the operations put women in very demeaning roles. They are turned into sex slaves, sold, treated as pets, gang-raped... it's not a pretty picture. I really felt sorry for some of the female characters, especially Ayana of "Yellow Star" and Rina of "Fallen Angel Rina". But generally speaking, Cool Devices is a truly creative effort at hentai. The plots and circumstances are very imaginative, and are loaded with unexpected twists.

In terms of art and animation, all the operations are quite good, but "Yellow Star" wins top honors. It has the same exquisite visual quality found in the controversial anime "Kite". Ayana is one of the most beautiful characters I've ever seen (see title graphic above). Some eps have incredulous anatomical proportions and not-so-smooth animation, but otherwise everything else is okay. As I've mentioned earlier, the depiction of sex is extremely graphic -- showcasing some of the most detailed pornographic scenes ever. Cool Devices goes the extra mile to up the shock value of its operations. If you're bored with the usual hentai fare, this could be a nice break. Female viewers may be offended by some of the content though.

Miscellanies:
