14:55 "Where the hell is Jack? Fucking chicken shit. FUCK IT, FUCK IT. SHIET. FAHK IT. SHIT" omg i cant. its like they were looking for filler words to match the lip flaps and all they could think of were those three words XD
When I was 10 or 11 years old in 2000 or 2001 the sci-fi channel actually aired the dubbed uncut version late at night, It must have been by mistake. I recorded it on my VHS player and lost it in a move. Felt like i lost an ultra rare part of history because i couldn't believe it was aired on TV. I spent years trying to find the uncut dub version afterwards only to ever find the cut dubbed. Until recently. =)
What country was this? Because there's no way it was actually the English dubbed uncut version, that only came out on VHS from Critical Mass (the hentai label of Right Stuf).
Well, to be fair, I think many folks were just annoyed that he said he was gonna review Violence Jack, then instead did an entire video about him NOT reviewing Violence Jack. I think it would have been better to just say "Sorry guys, can't bring myself to touch this one, here's a review of something else instead."
@@juliagoodwin9510 oof, yeah I can remember just watching the most violent shit ever when I was still in highschool because I ignorantly believed their was some intrinsic lesson to learn from everything after watching Berserk. I know the cringe 🤦♂️
Evil Town is actually the only good OVA this trilogy has to offer. Sure, it took the edginess way too extreme even more than the manga but it wasn't bad at all. The problem with these adaptations is, like you've said, that it's way more focused on the violence, rape, gore and shock factor instead of on the characters and the will to survive like the manga does which is why Violence Jack is so influential.
Evil Town is a fun time even if it's still just as exploitative as the other OVAs, it has the best action, the best direction and best narrative, the other two are really nothing to write home about
24:12-24:52 FUN-FACT! This character’s name is Tom Cat. :p In its original Japanese-audio, she was voiced by The Late Chieko Honda, who famously voiced Elpeo Puru & her “twin-sister” on Gundam ZZ, as well as Ennil El in AfterWar X, Nami Yamigumo of Silent Mobius, Marie Mjolnir of Soul Eater, and so much more to add… Much like VJ being an inspiration for many, I believe Ennil was inspired by Tom-Cat, from the puffy Dark-Red hair, sporting clothing with a shade of Blue, and Golden head-band & necklace. Thankfully Ennil was a broken-bird softie…
Harem Bomber, I found, after repeat viewings, to be kind of slow and yeah, draining, least up to after Yumi sells Ken and Mari out, afterwards I actually found the rest of the OVA funny in a unintended way. Evil Town, while you've raised many valid points (Don't forget Pre-Nadesco Sho "Genocyber" Aikawa wrote it, so dock off some points there.), I still find it the better of the three OVA's. And while Blue's portrayal is certainly problematic, I did kind of find the relationship between her and Salrus to be... somewhat surprisingly trusting. Sure, they were evil sons of bitches who do horrible things, but they clearly fought side by side and showed (Least to me) a moment or two of caring for each other... ignoring Salrus making out with the severed head and eating her flesh, but you might get what I mean. Hell's Wind, I gotta rewatch again, though I still love the ending of Jack tanking the rocket launcher attack and coming out on fire killing the remaining two members. As someone who has covered each of the OVA's (Harem Bomber twice! Gotta get back to "Evil Town"), enjoyed your vid man!
@asian dude Well that's your opinion. But just so we're clear. You are referring to the ova series from the 90's right. For me, it was a simple fun time. Nothing more and nothing less. But hey, to each their own.
@asian dude Well, to keep this nice and brief. I like the look of the anime (character designs), I do find it funny, I enjoyed a good bit of the action, and I just like the character of Cutey Honey. Again, I am not saying it is a masterpiece or anything I am just saying that it was a fun watch for me.
imo the last chapter of jack justifies its existence also a kinda celebration of all his other works since every other chapter has cameos with all his characters
Well at least Dorohedoro is there to give us our modern version of ultra violence fix, but with a better story, characters, music. Also no joke when I was finish watching the Violence Jack OVA's, the next day I believe I watched the last episode of 2019 Fruits Basket first season when it aired. I couldn't make this stuff up because the week after that I watched the 2005 South Korea's attempt at trying to do Spirits Within, with Ark. And James Woods voices a character in the dub of that Ark movie as well.
Looking back on reviewing my anime review on Violence Jack harem bomber, Evil town, and Hell's wind OVA because I have felt proud of myself for reviewing Violence Jack because Violence Jack is that anime which Bennett the sage refused to review Violence jack on Anime abandon
I heard a rumor that Joe Abercrombie created his Logen Ninefingers/"The Bloody Nine"-character in his "The First Law"-trilogy as a expy-deconstruction of Violence Jack.
Fist of the Northstar has the same concept I think something that shakes up the world, and then all of a sudden theres giant man that exist among normal sized man
Even with the censor boxes, I still looked away and covered the screen with my hand so I don't have to see the rape and killings. I'm no prude but I'm happy for content warnings.
Whilst it was a hit in Japan. It bombed everywhere else. For it's excessive violence, rape, and lack of plot. The Manga has never left Japan except for Italy. And take a guess why Go Nagai never did any more follow ups to this?
Actually, the manga ran from 1973 until 1990, and it inspired countless great works like Fist of the North Star and Berserk. So if anything, Violence Jack is Nagai's magnum opus.
Theres a weird small resurgance of violence jack fandom this year wonder why. Also it’s sad the ova makers didn’t “get” violent Jack. The violence is supposed to be portrayed as demonic, not glorifying it. It’s supposed to be there to show how people would lose all morals once society is destroyed and how evil people are on the inside. Also for a bit of fanservice at the same time, cos nagai.
13:25 The kid who dies is seemingly named Sabu, which is baffling considering that’s already the name (well, nickname I guess as his full name is Saburo) of the kid in Hell’s Wind. It’s particularly odd as the kid dies in the first OVA even though I’m pretty sure Saburo actually survives every arc he appears in.
Osaka Tales I’m aware that they aren’t the same character, that’s why it’s so odd to me that they used nearly the same name and character design for the kid in the first OVA when he doesn’t really have anything to do with Saburo Tenma in regards to stuff like his actual role in the narrative.
The most disgusting and roughest watch possible. Even m d geist would look at violence jack and say "I fear no man but that that scares me". The weirdest thing about Jack himself is that he never is the main character. He's more so some sort of mutated force of nature that just rolls in whenever needed. reminds me of a Western? You know the lone cowboy rolls into the town. And then he cleans up all the bad guys and then just Wanders on into the sunset. Now in any other anime I would consider this as bad writing. But somehow for Jack it Actually works. I don't know why it works it just seems to work.
3:22 I recognize *Midori* in the center, but what are the other 2? 13:30 is that the English voice actor/actress for Unico?! 16:16 I think TV Tropes call this a “Macross Missile Massacre”
I just did a reverse image search to find out myself. Apparently the one on the right is called Blue Flames. There’s an answer for the one on the left also in the comments.
At least, Bubblegum Crisis has the 2nd Kanto earthquake less severe to allow international rescue groups to come and help the Japanese citizens trapped in the city ruins and some of them stay to destroy what left of homogenized Japanese culture that being a gaijin is not a curse word to the natives. As for Violence Jack, it must be Fuji turning into a volcano that prevented rescue units to come in Tokyo when the aftershocks ended. But that's Uncle Go's narrative of how long did this takes place without giving accurate time period of the earthquake. And if was in the 2020s, Transportation into city ruins could be done by large V/STOL aircraft and earth-moving road construction equipment to create an improvised multi-way freeway to bring the rescue and transport trucks. I would guess that was possible if the street gangsters and their urbane crime syndicate allies got access to MANPADS and LAWs to karve out their version of Roanapur😉
This Harlem bomber animation looks good I guess I just have different taste than the TH-camr. It’s not great animation, but it still looks pretty darn good to me. But I’m an 80s kid (maybe I mean the art / char design and not the animation)
Best way to describe violence jack is it is an exercise in letting ones mind run rampant and just letting the intense thoughts of violence and depravity flow, whereas this anime OVA series felt like a bunch of edgelords came together and said, " Lets make the most depraved, degenerate, violent shit and release it to shock people." Its literally like a pizza cutter, all edge and no point. No wonder Bennett did his review the way he did.
You didn't show the coolest scene where Jack shows up behind blue before going on his mass slaughter. That scene gave me goosebumps, just so satisfying seeing a bunch of rapists get murdered. I fucking love evil town. I hope it can get a modern update or smth with a lot of fixes (maybe portraying less of the actual rape and doing the demon thing you mentioned)
I love man-ime but yeah 24:05, I get uncomfortable during 80s anime sex scenes as well. I guess they're supposed to be like fan service or something but they just come across as akward to me...
I like how you conveyed the emotionally exhaustive task of finishing Violence Jack after watching these ovas. After sitting through Evil Town twice(censored and uncensored )it took me about two years to watch that final hells wind Ova. Good riddance and goodbye
I see that I'm already third person asking this question, but what are those titles in "not covering this up" section (I figured out Shojo Tsubaki by myself)? I ask purely for scientific purposes ;) Greetings from Poland! We are somewhat busy, cause we' re having not-so-little albeit peaceful revolution down here, but sometimes we can manage time for a good video :) Let me congratulate you for your astonishing talent and incredible hard work, that make you, in my sincere opinion, the best anituber that is out there nowadays.
One on the right is Lolita Anime, known for being the first commercially available hentai OVA (and filled with a lot of underage rape scenes) and the other is Blue Flames, a drama anime where the hero rapes and blackmails women to get ahead in the world and it's portrayed as "charming". I might end up doing Midori: Shojo Tsubaki one of these days, but the other two I'm gonna avoid like the plague unless someone is willing to pay me handsomely for covering them.
Hey, loving your content, my dude! You earned yourself a new subscriber (especially because Slayers was my gateway into retro anime too as a kid so it also has a soft spot in my heart). This video in particular I found to be especially informative. I do gotta ask though, while I recognize them, I can't think of the names of the anime you showed at 3:23 and I don't wanna be wrong, so would you mind letting me know? Just for context sake. I THINK I remember the middle one being one if the first examples of eroguro but that's about all I can recall.
You ahould do Gundam 0080 war in the pocket if you ever get the chance i feel like its one of sunrise most underated Gundam anime people olny know it by its model kits
really ? well i guess it is, am not a gundam fan, but i downloaded the whole Gundum since 0079 to the second G movie in 2019, and currently watching episode 20 of 0079, it's aight.
@@DrRESHES Once you go Gundam, you never come back. That’s what happen to my little brother and sister. They’re once hardcore Naruto & Pokemon fans. And now, they’re the upholders of the Universal Century timeline.
@@whathell6t well... are they almost 30 when they started watching it ? doesn't matter i'll gladly watch the whole saga, i need something new and refreshing that will take me some time to finish. i also got all of Macross lol. and what crazy all of them are top notch quality which means each of the series are 1.5 TB atleast.
Seconded, War in the Pocket is really great, and pretty self-contained too so you don't necessarily have to know the entire UC timeline to appreciate it.
5:48 since yesterday i've been playing NMH a lot. i think this is one of the few games left that didn't had the chance to play and i really wanted to, simply amazing game, it's also great when you look for details in the game, like suspicious look alike posters to Star Wars Phantom Manace. too bad it had "My Spleen" death scream uttered by the enemies cut.
I didn't know it at the time, but when I first rented and watched violence jack, (evil town), that it was the more tame version. And I thought how violent it was at that time, even over board if you will? Years latter I watched it again, (un-edited version, and wow)! Rape, etc. (you know what I mean). Never saw anything like it. Holy schyte.
I Know i'm going to sound like a Loose cannon when i say this, But it's my opinion and i don't really care. I Really like Violence Jack Is it fucked up? Yes, But it's the fact that it is so unapologetic in the way that it goes about it's content that makes me enjoy it. I Understand why people don't like it, But honestly it should be respected for it's unrestrained/Raw portrayal of the story(s) it's trying to tell. Also, Before the 2022 Blu-Ray, Even it's 2016 DVD Release from Discotek; were all Censored in one way or another. ONLY the 2022 Blu-Ray from Discotek presents the OVA 100 Percent Uncut due to it being a True Remaster from the Original Film elements.
Thank you for this review! I'm glad that Violence Jack is *drum roll* not that interesting. :/ Violence and rape are already difficult to tackle with 'wisely' in media. If a show tacks on a half-ass "humans are total monsters dontcha know" moral while lusting over the violence/rape, then I can't take it seriously. Or be willing to commit time to watch something that will leave me tired and unfulfilled. Violence Jack doesn't seem to offer anything that other shows/manga have done better; including Devilman which had the decency to have interesting characters both humans AND devils.
In defense of Violence Jack, it tackles that violence and rape are the effects of an post-apocalyptic Japan within Kyoto, due to an earthquake. The manga/ovas use that to show that even within a lawless land, it could and would happen. Shit, it's a metaphor that every human is a demon, but it shows there is still humanity within them.
I like it for the fact that it’s a sequel to devilman and there are hints about him being a reincarnation of Akira I might want to watch it despite the controversial and heavy subject matter just presented
I do hope that there'll be a potential anime adaptation of Violence Jack someday in the very near-future though. And despite the AU sequel to Devilman serves as the main inspiration for well-known respected series such as Fist of the North Star and Berserk, it is such a bummer that it doesn't get all the recognition since Devilman along with it's official sequels: Devilman Lady and Devilman Saga.
@Van Hellsing’s Digital Drive-in You know, that's sound logically enough, and I know a Violence Jack anime wouldn't see the day of light again, at least though. Thanks!
Violence Jack really is part of that overly violent era of anime from the 80s and 90s, and in my opinion, it better stay the f*ck back in the 80s and 90s. Cause good God does this anime just.... good lord almighty. I dont care how influential the manga was, these ovas and any further adaptation can stay in whatever pit of hell conjured it up. Never have i seen anime so gleeful in its violence and just all around horrible subject material also be absolutely boring and draining on every sense. I know they made these shocking for the sake of shock value. Well im not shocked. Im bored. How do you fail so spectacularly?
As far as I found, the one on the left is some lolita adaptation, probably not taking a que on what Nobokov was trying to say and the one on the right is some incel rethoric piece
@@kostajovanovic3711 One on the left is from the Lolita Anime series from studio Wonder Kids (different from the one of the same name from long-standing movie house Nikkatsu), incidentally that series was the very first pornographic anime ever released. The episode shown is "Koneko-chan no Iru Mise", roughly translated as "The House Where Kittens Are", or "House of Kittens", which could best be thought of as a string of pop culture cameos in the vein of the Daicon IV opening animation, only pornographic. The series from Studio WK and Nikkatsu were the earliest, though rapidly eclipsed by the Cream Lemon series which became the standard bearer of early H OVAs. A lot of the artists who worked on them came from the manga anthology Lemon People, and went on to work on influential stuff like Project A-ko.
@Van Hellsing’s Digital Drive-in Aoki Honoo (Blue Flame) , story of abusive guy using his slick chad skills to bang women. Not pornographic (by the standards of the era, which were less prudish than today).
The one in the middle is shojo tsubaki/araki's amazing freak show. It's basically a more psychedelic version of a Serbian film and somehow more upsetting.
Oh.. I... Well I'm a transgender man ftm and I hadn't realized the transphobia in this Anime.. I'm very conflicted now....cause I just found out about this Anime I haven't watched it.. I was going to blindly. I'm glad I watched your video on this.
You know, I really want to like these reviews but I feel you hang on certain "problematic tropes" to the point of pure virtue signaling and its honesty doing your work a disservice. For someone whom I'm sure wishes that all people regardless of differences deserve respect the reaction to seeing "marginalized people in negative rolls" comes off as coddling instead of criticism and honestly it is insulting.
What happened with this dent on Go Nagais legacy? Even I can’t even defend this garbage. And I’m a genocyber fan. Thank God Chiaki Konaka got his hands on Devil lady and rightfully turned it into a deconstruction before it became another victim of the violence curse.😅😂
Does anyone know where I can stream the uncut version? Trying to show my brother the horrors I got to see while growing up and I wanna start him with violence jack.
I just did a reverse image search to find out myself. Apparently it’s called Blue Flames. There’s an answer for the one on the left also in the comments.

Certainly the funniest part.
The Violence Jack OVAs are basically what would happen if you turned one of those ultra sleazy 80s Italian Mad Max rip offs into an anime.
Evil Town is actually the only good OVA this trilogy has to offer.

Go Nagai disowned the OVAs because of the changes.
While I agree that Evil Town is the best, I still like all 3
Evil Town is a fun time even if it's still just as exploitative as the other OVAs, it has the best action, the best direction and best narrative, the other two are really nothing to write home about
When I watched this first I had a projector at the time and it really was a treat watching extreme exploitation and body horror at its finest.

Best way to describe violence jack is it is an exercise in letting ones mind run rampant and just letting the intense thoughts of violence and depravity flow, whereas this anime OVA series felt like a bunch of edgelords came together and said, " Lets make the most depraved, degenerate, violent shit and release it to shock people." Its literally like a pizza cutter, all edge and no point. No wonder Bennett did his review the way he did.
It's fun watching the usual crowd pretend this garbage adaptation is deep because of their own prejudices.
4:22 was that a korgoth of barbaria reference I heard?
Mayhaps
You didn't show the coolest scene where Jack shows up behind blue before going on his mass slaughter. That scene gave me goosebumps, just so satisfying seeing a bunch of rapists get murdered. I fucking love evil town. I hope it can get a modern update or smth with a lot of fixes (maybe portraying less of the actual rape and doing the demon thing you mentioned)
I love man-ime but yeah 24:05, I get uncomfortable during 80s anime sex scenes as well. I guess they're supposed to be like fan service or something but they just come across as akward to me...
It's not fan service, it's staying close to the manga.
@@osakatales9228still sucks either way
The guy who gets chainsawed in the Hell’s Wind OVA is Tsurugi Tetsuya, the pilot of Great Mazinger
Was that just dark humor from the writers? Cause that never happened in the manga.
@@kevinfromsales9445 its in the manga
I don't remember the chainsaw scene happening in the Hell's Wind arc.
NVM he blows up with the car
@@primusvsunicron1 Yeah I know lol
I like how you conveyed the emotionally exhaustive task of finishing Violence Jack after watching these ovas. After sitting through Evil Town twice(censored and uncensored )it took me about two years to watch that final hells wind Ova. Good riddance and goodbye
I see that I'm already third person asking this question, but what are those titles in "not covering this up" section (I figured out Shojo Tsubaki by myself)? I ask purely for scientific purposes ;) Greetings from Poland! We are somewhat busy, cause we' re having not-so-little albeit peaceful revolution down here, but sometimes we can manage time for a good video :) Let me congratulate you for your astonishing talent and incredible hard work, that make you, in my sincere opinion, the best anituber that is out there nowadays.
One on the right is Lolita Anime, known for being the first commercially available hentai OVA (and filled with a lot of underage rape scenes) and the other is Blue Flames, a drama anime where the hero rapes and blackmails women to get ahead in the world and it's portrayed as "charming".
I might end up doing Midori: Shojo Tsubaki one of these days, but the other two I'm gonna avoid like the plague unless someone is willing to pay me handsomely for covering them.
@@KaiserBeamz Thank you very much!
@@KaiserBeamz i kindly ask you not to review Midori. Let that pile of filth just disappear. I beg you 😭
Hey, loving your content, my dude! You earned yourself a new subscriber (especially because Slayers was my gateway into retro anime too as a kid so it also has a soft spot in my heart). This video in particular I found to be especially informative.
I do gotta ask though, while I recognize them, I can't think of the names of the anime you showed at 3:23 and I don't wanna be wrong, so would you mind letting me know? Just for context sake. I THINK I remember the middle one being one if the first examples of eroguro but that's about all I can recall.
its crazy that in this modern era of "censor/ban everything" that this hasnt gotten banned again
1:40 must be the reason
But can we all say that Violence Jack is still better the Genocyber though
You ahould do Gundam 0080 war in the pocket if you ever get the chance
i feel like its one of sunrise most underated Gundam anime people olny know it by its model kits
It’s definitely one of the best gundams imo personally
really ? well i guess it is, am not a gundam fan, but i downloaded the whole Gundum since 0079 to the second G movie in 2019, and currently watching episode 20 of 0079, it's aight.
@@DrRESHES
Once you go Gundam, you never come back.
That’s what happen to my little brother and sister. They’re once hardcore Naruto & Pokemon fans. And now, they’re the upholders of the Universal Century timeline.
@@whathell6t well... are they almost 30 when they started watching it ?
doesn't matter i'll gladly watch the whole saga, i need something new and refreshing that will take me some time to finish.
i also got all of Macross lol. and what crazy all of them are top notch quality which means each of the series are 1.5 TB atleast.
Seconded, War in the Pocket is really great, and pretty self-contained too so you don't necessarily have to know the entire UC timeline to appreciate it.
5:48 since yesterday i've been playing NMH a lot. i think this is one of the few games left that didn't had the chance to play and i really wanted to, simply amazing game, it's also great when you look for details in the game, like suspicious look alike posters to Star Wars Phantom Manace. too bad it had "My Spleen" death scream uttered by the enemies cut.
I didn't know it at the time, but when I first rented and watched violence jack, (evil town), that it was the more tame version. And I thought how violent it was at that time, even over board if you will? Years latter I watched it again, (un-edited version, and wow)! Rape, etc. (you know what I mean). Never saw anything like it. Holy schyte.
I give this video 10 Timmies out of 10
I Know i'm going to sound like a Loose cannon when i say this, But it's my opinion and i don't really care.
I Really like Violence Jack
Is it fucked up? Yes, But it's the fact that it is so unapologetic in the way that it goes about it's content that makes me enjoy it. I Understand why people don't like it, But honestly it should be respected for it's unrestrained/Raw portrayal of the story(s) it's trying to tell.
Also, Before the 2022 Blu-Ray, Even it's 2016 DVD Release from Discotek; were all Censored in one way or another. ONLY the 2022 Blu-Ray from Discotek presents the OVA 100 Percent Uncut due to it being a True Remaster from the Original Film elements.
Thank you for this review!
I'm glad that Violence Jack is *drum roll* not that interesting. :/
Violence and rape are already difficult to tackle with 'wisely' in media. If a show tacks on a half-ass "humans are total monsters dontcha know" moral while lusting over the violence/rape, then I can't take it seriously. Or be willing to commit time to watch something that will leave me tired and unfulfilled.
Violence Jack doesn't seem to offer anything that other shows/manga have done better; including Devilman which had the decency to have interesting characters both humans AND devils.
In defense of Violence Jack, it tackles that violence and rape are the effects of an post-apocalyptic Japan within Kyoto, due to an earthquake. The manga/ovas use that to show that even within a lawless land, it could and would happen. Shit, it's a metaphor that every human is a demon, but it shows there is still humanity within them.
I like it for the fact that it’s a sequel to devilman and there are hints about him being a reincarnation of Akira I might want to watch it despite the controversial and heavy subject matter just presented
@@desmondscalaro3669 Feel free to watch it here on TH-cam or any site that has it with English subs.
Lol "Harlem Bomber"
I do hope that there'll be a potential anime adaptation of Violence Jack someday in the very near-future though.
And despite the AU sequel to Devilman serves as the main inspiration for well-known respected series such as Fist of the North Star and Berserk, it is such a bummer that it doesn't get all the recognition since Devilman along with it's official sequels: Devilman Lady and Devilman Saga.
@Van Hellsing’s Digital Drive-in You know, that's sound logically enough, and I know a Violence Jack anime wouldn't see the day of light again, at least though. Thanks!
@Van Hellsing’s Digital Drive-in That's not all, even Retrocrush has gained the rights to stream the Violence Jack OVA trilogy as well.
Violence jack 20XX was interesting
Violence Jack really is part of that overly violent era of anime from the 80s and 90s, and in my opinion, it better stay the f*ck back in the 80s and 90s. Cause good God does this anime just.... good lord almighty. I dont care how influential the manga was, these ovas and any further adaptation can stay in whatever pit of hell conjured it up. Never have i seen anime so gleeful in its violence and just all around horrible subject material also be absolutely boring and draining on every sense. I know they made these shocking for the sake of shock value. Well im not shocked. Im bored. How do you fail so spectacularly?
3:22 i know the middle one but what are the other two?
If only they do a new version that actually adapts the manga and remove the gratuitous violence that was added in for pointless shock value?
Christ, this looks like the least fun someone could have watching anime.
Genocyber is worse.
It was a lot of fun tbh.
Nah , it was a lot of fun if can tolerate gore and sexual violence
@@MonsieurMaouji it is?
Nah boring slice of life junk with little animation is worse.
Oh my god your likes were at 666 and I clicked it before I realized what I had done!!! So sorry!
Lol I didn't catch that the first time I watched
I'd love a video about Blue Flames 😂
Might make that a Patreon goal. When I reach $5,000 a month, I'll do an extra thorough video on Blue Flames.
have you reviewed angel cop
Damn! 16:32
HEY JK ROWLING IF YER INTO ANIME WE GOT SOMETHING 4 YA
Can anyone tell me the name of the other two anime at 3:22. Of course I know of Midori/Shoujo Tsubaki, but I'm curious about the other two.
As far as I found, the one on the left is some lolita adaptation, probably not taking a que on what Nobokov was trying to say and the one on the right is some incel rethoric piece
@@kostajovanovic3711 One on the left is from the Lolita Anime series from studio Wonder Kids (different from the one of the same name from long-standing movie house Nikkatsu), incidentally that series was the very first pornographic anime ever released. The episode shown is "Koneko-chan no Iru Mise", roughly translated as "The House Where Kittens Are", or "House of Kittens", which could best be thought of as a string of pop culture cameos in the vein of the Daicon IV opening animation, only pornographic.
The series from Studio WK and Nikkatsu were the earliest, though rapidly eclipsed by the Cream Lemon series which became the standard bearer of early H OVAs. A lot of the artists who worked on them came from the manga anthology Lemon People, and went on to work on influential stuff like Project A-ko.
@Van Hellsing’s Digital Drive-in Aoki Honoo (Blue Flame) , story of abusive guy using his slick chad skills to bang women. Not pornographic (by the standards of the era, which were less prudish than today).
@Van Hellsing’s Digital Drive-in You're welcome: th-cam.com/video/kuXjWTgd9I4/w-d-xo.html
I just did a reverse image search to find out myself. Apparently the one on the right is called Blue Flames.
Whats the center anime at 3:22
Midori shoujo tsubaki
I must know the names of the two songs in the intro
What are those three titles that will never be touched? If KB won’t, I might have to
The one in the middle is shojo tsubaki/araki's amazing freak show. It's basically a more psychedelic version of a Serbian film and somehow more upsetting.
Some hentai lolita adaptation and some incel infused drama
what about the other two
No way he eats the trans companion in the manga 😅
20:39 - Nah dumb and awful in my book.
31:55 - I don't know why I laughing at this part. 😂
Oh.. I... Well I'm a transgender man ftm and I hadn't realized the transphobia in this Anime.. I'm very conflicted now....cause I just found out about this Anime I haven't watched it.. I was going to blindly. I'm glad I watched your video on this.
Whats the anime with the cover on the right @3:22 ?
Where did you find the uncensored English dub?????
You know, I really want to like these reviews but I feel you hang on certain "problematic tropes" to the point of pure virtue signaling and its honesty doing your work a disservice. For someone whom I'm sure wishes that all people regardless of differences deserve respect the reaction to seeing "marginalized people in negative rolls" comes off as coddling instead of criticism and honestly it is insulting.
honestly chug a gallon of piss dude
Man I love your videos but please stop relating more budget with better animation!
What happened with this dent on Go Nagais legacy? Even I can’t even defend this garbage. And I’m a genocyber fan. Thank God Chiaki Konaka got his hands on Devil lady and rightfully turned it into a deconstruction before it became another victim of the violence curse.😅😂
Does anyone know where I can stream the uncut version? Trying to show my brother the horrors I got to see while growing up and I wanna start him with violence jack.
I don't think it's streaming anywhere, but you can the DVDs for cheap at around $15-20
you really shouldn't do that
charatters
What is the music in 3:46
What's the anime on the right of Midori at 3:22?
I just did a reverse image search to find out myself. Apparently it’s called Blue Flames. There’s an answer for the one on the left also in the comments.
3:21 what anime are those?
@Ichijou Miyamoto many thanks friend!
I thought 12:05 was funny
