Yes it's quite perverted, and it's refreshing to see an anime going that far, but it's not as perverted as you might expect!
Certainly they explore various fetishes (don't expect anything very graphic on screen though), there are interesting characters, and it can be surprisingly psychological at times. Yet, there is a recurring structure you start noticing: the guys have agency, and act onto the girls, mostly. This is reinforced by how the "abnormal physiology" seminar is basically run by two guys, who are drawn in a way reminiscent of two animals (shark and pig), and who focus a lot on being perverted towards women.
That means this anime's potential is clamped. It's quite obvious unfettered bisexuality would make the setting explode, but this would have been super interesting to see. T…

Summary is a bit misleading. Rather than an physiology seminar, this seminar is more about educating each other on sexual deviancy.
Now normally, a "pervert" in anime just means they like sex a lot or think about it a lot, or want it really badly. Not so in this one, these people are real perverts. They eat insects, trick one another into consuming semen, pee in public, break into one another's houses and do weird stuff to them while they're asleep. If this was the real world, these people would probably be in prison.
I was gonna rate this a 6, but the anime does have some interesting episodes that talk about human psychology and why people end up having these odd sexual desires.
Overall a decent anime, but be forewarned, some of these characters' fetishes are quite revolting.

I'll start by saying that I've been researching fetishes online since I was twelve, and I've watched this anime after seven years of experience in said field.
When I heard about an anime focused on fetishes I expected two results: I could've learn from it or it could've been one of the most painful anime in my otaku career, but I was curious and took the bet; I'm so glad I did it.
HenSemi presents fetishes in an almost innocent way, it doesn't downright shock the viewer but if you're into what they're talking about, which happened to me quite a bit of times, it can easily make your fantasies run wild.
The art is very soft, almost moe, and it helps in making a light atmosphere even with uncomfortable subjects, and that is one of the main strong points of the whole series.

Watching Hen Zemi is a bit like catching your friend trying to stick a carrot in their ass. It's awkward and repulsive but you just can't turn away. This series literally opens up the pandora box of human sexuality. NTR, masochism, humiliation, voyeurism, watersports... jesus fucking christ. This series is downright creepy.
The story and premise are simple. A couple of university students join forces together on their quest for ultimate perversion as they drink piss and shove stuff into each other. That's the whole series in a sentence. Yeah, they do also eloquently talk about the philosophy of their perverted quirts but in the end you can shorten in down to "I'd like to jerk off over your sleeping body".
Hen Zemi will definitely change your outlook on perversion. Knowledge is power my…

If you have seen Nazo no Kanojo X you have probably seen the debate of whether to taste someone's dribble is disgusting or not. Well Hen Zemi takes this not just a step further but A TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT FURTHER!
The story involves Matsutaka Nanako, a nice and somewhat innocent university student, who joins an Abnormal Physiology Seminar, run by a creepy professor, which is cover for anyone interested in sexual deviancy to use their sexual deviancy for educational purposes. Can Nanako stay "normal" or become a sexual deviant or is she abnormal because she is the only one not interested in sexual deviancy, or is she?
I will admit this isn't for everybody. In fact the writers seem to be enjoying how far they can go with some of the comedy which to be fair is pretty disgusting especially wh…

This anime may seem like just another gross gag anime with fan service slapped on to draw in the soft core fanboys, but looking at it again, wow. This really does take an interesting look at fetishes and abnormal sexual psychology, while the humor is great and can be enjoyed on a no brainer level by all, the real treat is the insight into perversions and the subculture surrounding them. Sadly it's all a bit rushed and crammed together being a short series, lightly touching on as many different fetish subjects as it can in the time given. Going to a light covering of a broad spectrum of them rather than in depth analysis of a few specifics. Really worth watching in my opinion.
Story: 6
While it's an awesome idea, the execution felt rushed and bounced around far to much.

Welcome to Hen Zemi where all that is socially unacceptable and downright disgusting or odd can be used for educational purposes. These students are tasked with coming up with reports on these subjects and experiencing them firsthand. For the most part raunchy humor, Zemi doesn't provide much else. However, if this is your cup of tea then there is bound to be one or two laughs in these 10 minute episodes.
If there is one thing that makes this a weird show it would be the characters. The projects they pick out can only be as messed up as the professor and the students doing them. The point of view is usually told from either Matsutaka's point of view, Ichikawa's, or Anna's. Why? Well these three are the most normal. That only says so much though when your group of friends are in this semin…

Hen Zemi was an awesome anime. They somehow managed to make a cute college kid anime mixed with the most perverted stuff I have ever seen in a non-hentai anime.
The idea is the characters are taking an abnormal psychology seminar, about extreme fetishes, but they get all sorts of perverted assignments. They also talk about and sometimes do all sorts of fetishy things. Most of the people (boys and girls) are there because they have an abnormal sexual side; the exception is the main girl who is very innocent and gets dragged into situations and discussion she is unprepared for...
Its very interesting because it is both disturbing, funny, and sexy all at the same time. I can't think of another anime quite like this one; the closest I can come up with is FLCL, but Hen Zemi is rated 17+.

Hen Zemi is a comedy anime by studio Xebec, of Outlaw Star and harem/shounen fame. The story follows Matsutaka, an ordinary girl who enrolls in an abnormal psychology class, and her adventures with her salacious and deviant classmates. It’s not often you get an anime in a university setting, and it’s refreshing to see adult characters who actually have sex and talk about cultivating their own feces. It’s also interesting to see how the others’ bizarreness rubs off on Matsutaka, and how she changes through the show.
As you might have guessed, this show has some pretty weird jokes, and it’s definitely not for the faint of mind, or those who mostly keep to more generic comedy. If you liked Panty & Stocking (with Garterbelt), it’s a little like that, but more straight faced. Without hesitatio…
