@Hentai_JP - Do you mean Violence Jack and not Black Jack? Black Jack is the scared unlicensed surgeon where Violence Jack is the giant man who rips people a new one..literally.

I am all over checking this ova out, might watch it with my friends along with Oh! My Zombie Mermaid this weekend.

I also suggest The Weathering Continent. Which the story it's self was ok, it was very much only part of a long series. But it has really great art, and wins totally on atmosphere.

There's something just incredibly wrong about a montage of a girl trying to show a tentatcled monster porno magazines.

I have to see this now...

But seriously. I'm wondering how many people actually looked at this review PURELY because the words "tentacle porn" was written in the description.

Speak for yourself. I always read Buried Treasure, it's a great column. Well, always, unless it's reviewing something I already know about and don't think much of, like Hana Yori Dango (blah) and Serial Experiments Lain (BLECH).

Hey, I thought the Obscure-O-Meter was going away? Not that I mind; I think it's a clever idea. It's just that Justin said in the "Mysterious Cities of Gold" review that he didn't think the OOM worked anymore.

After watching Call Me Tonight I got interested in the rest of Pink Noise ovas. I find Black Jack to be as awesome if not better than Call Me Tonight(It's story is every man's dream!). Black Jack's levels of sex are surprising yet so hilarious; I even found there is a moral to the story - highly recommended (I also have to mention that voice actor for the main character is the same guy who voiced Godai from Maison Ikkoku[I can't be wrong, I heard his annoying voice way too much]). Campus Special Investigator Hikaruon on the other had didn't impress. It tries to do more than it should, making huge plot holes in the process. Not worth watching unless you crave for 80'es anime in general. Evil Dragon War Chronicles aren't subbed so I haven't seen it.

True,but the thing with Campus Special Investigator Hikaruon,it's suppose to be like a homage to those Metal Hero Live action Super hero series such as Juspion,Space Sheriff Shaider and Metalder,but pretty much failed at that Laughing

Quote:

The film happily points out that the tentacled monster, long the staple of grotesque comic pornography by this point, is little more than the male libido itself: destructive, scary and stupid. The women, already far from being the innocent, docile playthings of lesser anime, are taken to task for being too blinded by their own libidos to see that they're willingly throwing themselves at an inhuman creature who will inevitably do them great harm.

...And I'm sold.

I have to thank Area88 and his Anime Classic Reviews site for posting up most of the Pink Noise stuff a while back. The second Pink Noise OVA Campus Special Investigator Hikaruon was great and there's no sexual stuff in it at all.

Body Jack on the other hand was meh.

I actually watched this OVA a while back on fansubs. It is so absurd that it has to be seen to be believed.

Quite possibly one of the most hilariously random anime OVAs I've ever seen. Laughing

I tried to watch this but it just couldn't hold my interest. It just bothered me too much. I get the impression that most of the humor is unintentional and that it's really a bad film. But I haven't watched more than a little of it so I can't properly critique it.

"I guess this is no place for Freud."

This was hilarious in places. I love the straight-faced absurdity, with the spoiler[Twilight Zone] ending Wink

. Another great recommendation.

Oh, and please keep the Obscure-O-Meter, if it isn't too much trouble. Having to figure out whether it's licensed or has been released would be a pain for these old titles, and if possible I want to purchase licensed copies.

Oops. Sorry for the typo guys. I meant to type Body Jack not Black Jack... Hope I didn't confuse/mislead too many innocent souls. Was kinda sleepy back then.

Okay, I'll give it a spin. It's been on my pile for years, and I was always scared of it because of how slow it looked.
