Really can't think of anything even after my second cup of coffee. I think my mind blocked the really bad stuff from my early days of anime watching. Personally, I'd rather have a "so good, its great!" title. Wink

Could think of enough possibilities, maybe even one of the two other titles among Manga's infamous "Holy Trinity of Suck" since they snagged Mad Bull 34.

MD Geist was the first thing to pop in my head and it was the first to get mentioned there so, no. Too easy.

I admit I owned both that and part 2. I didn't know any better and it's not as if there was a lot of anime around way back then. And really, it's "so bad, it's still bad."

A title worth hyping, OOP and so bad, it's good?
The Ping Pong Club just because I'm not that interested in OVAs. Though if it was something like Parallel Trouble Adventure Dual or Battle Athletes Victory, I wouldn't complain.

Pilot Candidate? I wouldn't know how to respond.

Discotek added the following hint a few days later.

"It's really violent..."

Ninja Scroll series? Violence Jack OVA (and all its sequels)? Genma Wars?

This title has never been released on DVD in North America.


So maybe the Riki-Oh anime? Rolling Eyes

Going off the hints, it's looking increasingly likely to be Violence Jack.

The thing with Violence Jack is that the Manga UK English dubbed version was heavily edited so I wonder would they only release the dub or both versions. I own a DVD of the unedited Japanese version and episode 2 (and, IIRC part of episode 3) is basically hard-core hentai. They did use mosaics but that doesn't really hide anything. I would possibly be interested in seeing the dubbed version only because I've heard it's one of the all-time worst dubs.

Then again, maybe they did a rescue of BAOH. That one is very violent and, to me, is the epitome of so-bad-it's-good. Black Lion would be another good candidate. Like Violence Jack it's based on a Go Nagai manga but without any rape/misogeny, just lots of insane violence (and a fun English dub).

Both of those mentioned titles have been released on DVD from what I'm looking up. Doubt it's those two.

I hope it is Violence Jack, fully uncut. People give that OVA series a lot of shit, they're also humorless and easily offended.

I guess the Jack-offs will be pleased. Rolling Eyes
