Ergo Proxy


 I didn’t know much about Ergo Proxy when a friend recommended it. He said that it blew his mind (in a good way) and that I definitely have to see it. I said ,,Ok…” but like ,,I’ll do it if you shut the fuck up”, and I didn’t even bother researching it. But I have to admit that it surprised me (in a good way). It’s no ,,mind-blowing” material, but it’s certainly worth the watch.

The world is in a desperate state. After a huge catastrophe, the Earth is largely barren, with only a few domed cities doting the empty and bleak plains. Humans are no longer produced by natural means (which sucks balls) and instead are grown like plants in special factories. In the city called Romdo humans and AutoReivs (some kind of androids) coexist with one another peacefully. But a recent murder streak committed by berserk robots infected with the Cogito virus (something that makes them self-aware) threatens the delicate balance. Behind the scenes, the government is conducting secret experiments on a mysterious humanoid life form called Proxy, which is believed to hold the key to the survival of mankind. Re-l (also spelled "Real") Mayer is assigned to investigate some of the murders with her AutoReiv partner Iggy (which is a most ridiculous name). She encounters a Cogito-infected AutoReiv and a fast and flexible monster. She later learns that the monster was a Proxy. The other central character, an immigrant named Vincent Law, is revealed as being the eponymous proxy, but his memories of his time in his native dome of Mosque are suppressed, or perhaps he suppresses them. After being hunted down, Vincent and Re-l leave Romdo, only to discover the truth behind the Proxies and the domes. So as you can see the story is complex, but it isn’t very hard to follow. Toward the end there is an episode that gives you a lot of back story to what happened to the world, as well as different clues as to what’s happening and to explain some things about the proxies. I don’t want to spoil anything, so know that these clues are kind of subtle, but you will understand if you put everything together. Some people say this is a mind-fuck, but I have to disagree. Sure, it has mystery and secrets, and it has one episode which I would definitely qualify as a mind-fuck, and one I would qualify as fucked-up, but overall, this is by no means a mind-fuck. And at the end of each episode there are some scientific notes for you to read. They aren’t necessary, but it’s fun to know (I think).

Thankfully, the story isn’t the only thing that makes this show worth-wile. As mentioned, there are more proxies scattered throughout the world in their domed cities (or more like doomed cities). And each time Vincent travels to those cities, he faces them. If it weren’t for these battles, I would say that no matter how great the story is, it would’ve been God-awful boring. I mean if it weren’t for the proxies there would be very few action sequences. Cause aside from a brief assault by drones on Vincent and his friends, and a short battle between humans and AutoReivs, the battle between proxies is the action that keeps you going. And even so, there are some complaints I have about it: 1) Some battles tend to be short; 2) There are to few; and 3) Some aren’t even battles at all, more like ,,confrontations”. What’s the difference? Well in battles there is action, while in confrontations, action sometimes isn’t necessary. The end battle is the only high-light of all the battles, but it doesn’t make-up for the overall lack of action. But the action isn’t the only thing you should be focusing on; these are just word coming out of a guy how eats 10 pounds of sugar a day. But still, I think they could’ve used more proxy battles. What’s bad is that there are episodes when nothing happens at all. They just wander aimlessly, or not wander at all. Remember, this isn’t Disney-World (God knows why I made this reference). This is a world where all you can see for MILES AND MILES are just dust and clouds. Just that. No vegetation, no landscape, NO NOTHING. These are the episodes I usually skip. 

I also like the character cast. They have good development, and some are just fun to watch. Take Pino for example. She is a little girl/AutoReiv that has been infected with the Cogito virus, so she travels with Vincent. She almost always is in a good mood, and while some may say ,,Well that’s cliché (or something like that)”, I say that that’s the beauty of it. In this entire bleak and desperate world, she is the only colorful and vibrant thing. Cause I have to admit, Re-l is practically always in a bad mood, and Vincent… well Vincent… he looks pretty retarded if you ask me. When he is in his Proxy form, he kicks ass, but in his human form he is soooo boring, that you want to hang him with a camel’s anal hair. Not to mention that he keeps his eyes closed a lot of times, so he developed something I like to call ,,Brock syndrome”. If you want to know more of it, check my Pokemon review. But overall, I’m pleased with the character cast.

Animation-wise, Ergo Proxy has a good way of giving you the depressing and desperate feel of this post-apocalyptic world. Too good. I found myself drinking anti-depress pills, just so I wouldn’t cry. I’m kidding, it wasn’t that bad, but still, they were kind of dull. That’s in contrast of course to the proxy battles (NOTE: BATTLES). They are flashy and quick, and always look cool thanks to certain camera angles (of course I have no idea what I’m talking about right now). Sometimes the character models look goofy for no reason, but overall the animation is decent. The sound department does a good job as well. It has a kick-ass opening and believable voice-work.

Overall this is a good watch. Personally I don’t think it’s a ,,Must see before I tragically die” but still a fun ride. If you want a good story, philosophical nonsense and some (key word: SOME) awesome fighting sequences, then by all means, ENJOY.

Violence Jack Harem Bomber


Now it’s time to conclude the Violence Jack movie reviews. This isn’t actually a movie, more like an OVA, but in most cases it’s considered to be a movie, so whatever. Although I’m reviewing this one last, it’s actually the first. It came out in 1986 and this is actually Violence Jack 1. Up until now I should have numbered the first 2 reviews like in most sources, but let me explain why this isn’t my fucking fault but theirs. In terms of release, yeah this is the first movie, but in terms of storyline this is the third. So this one was released, but then they considered doing a prequel and the third is a sequel to the prequel. Well if the second is a prequel then why in the holy mother of fuck did they name that shit Violence Jack 2!!! Yeah, if they name it 2 then you think it’s a sequel, cause 2 is the continuation of 1. 2 follows 1. That’s basic math. Well they threw even that out of their sick minds. What they should’ve done is name the second ,,Violence Jack The Beginning” cause that’s what it is. He was dug out 6 months after the earthquake, which means that was the beginning of his journey. Or if they really wanted to number it, they should’ve named the second movie ,,Violence Jack -1 (minus)”. Yeah it would’ve been stupid, but at least it would’ve made sense. At least 3 follows 2, cause if 3 would’ve been a prequel to the prequel then it would’ve been a more fuck up than the actual movie. Well, whatever… we can make hundreds of theories but let’s concentrate on this movie (or OVA).


In many sources you will find 2 different names: Violence Jack Harem Bomber and Violence Jack Harlem Bomber. Harlem Bomber? Why would anyone want to bomb Harlem? And what does Harlem have to do with anything? Isn’t Harlem in Manhattan? Did the earthquake move Harlem in Japan? I don’t know, I don’t have a fucking clue what they were thinking when they named the second title. The first one makes more sense. Harem Bomber. Hmmmm…Bomber…does Bin Laden have anything to do with it? Is Jack from Al Qaeda? And why Bomber, nobody actually blows anything here. The title makes no sense. So the story begin with a narrator explaining how the Earth came to this predicament and about a tyrant who grasped power with force and calls himself the Slum King. Then he says that Jack stood up to the Slum King and then he describes Jack as a monster with intelligent eyes. Seriously? Intelligent eyes? I see no fucking intelligence in his glowing eyes. He looks like he can barely say ,,Jack want peanuts”. And the worst part is that the narrator often reminds us of this remarkable quality of his eyes. So then they show a fight scene between Jack and the Slum King, but then a tsunami comes out of nowhere (literally), and sweeps Jack away, but leaves the Slum King conveniently where he stood. And naturally the Slum King feels that Jack survived and orders his right hand man to kill him. Turns out the right hand man is the Harem Bomber, or as the Americans dubbed it…Harlem Bomber. Do they think that the action takes place in New York? I don’t know but I would guess in that it takes place in Japan cause…THAT’S WERE THE NARRATOR TELLS US THE ACTION TAKES PLACE!!! So then they show a convoy delivering girls to the Bombers sex camp so they would be trained to become sex slaves. So you can see that Harem Bomber started all the retarded sex and rape scenes. But the convoy is attacked by Jack and most of the girls flee, except 2, who conveniently became friends. Turns out one came here to search for her boyfriend who is actually the commander of the Bombers royal forces. Wow…how sweet. So those two girls were captured and taken to the sex camp where the guy sees them and takes her and her friend and attempts to flee. In the mean time, Bomber sends his forces in some random town to kill everyone so that Jack will come out, since he is the protector of the people. So they start a fight with the population and everybody kills each other, including a kid nobody gives a fuck about, but they show him making a stupid remark about Jack and say that now he can finally be with his mom.

Good, just fucking die already, I don’t give a shit about you and your problems, I just want to get this over with. Then they show that the boyfriend claim responsibility for his actions cause he feels indebted to the Bomber. The Bomber gives him the task of killing Jack so that he would be forgiven. In the meantime Jack finally comes out and kills the thugs. Well if he is a protector of the weak, then why for fucks sake didn’t he come out when the thugs were mercilessly killing the innocent populace? He was hiding somewhere and hoping that everything will pass. What a giant pussy. Well at least now he is killing someone. So the boyfriend come and throws a knife at Jack and hits his eye, but Jack just smiles and walks away. Why? Is he a telepathic and knew why the boyfriend did it? Or was he stunned by the knife thrown at him? Or did he suddenly grow a merciful heart? Well anyway Jack finally goes to kill Bomber and the boyfriend goes to rescue his girlfriend. He rescues her, and in the meantime the girlfriend’s friend dies saying some stupid dramatic shit, and they go on the rooftop where there is a convenient chopper waiting for them. But Jack and Bomber are fighting there. As the two take off, Bomber pushes Jack over the edge, and he grabs the edge, but Bomber cuts his hand off, so the stupid bitch throws a rope to save the fucking gorilla despite the boyfriend’s warnings. Jack grabs the rope, destabilizes the chopper, grabs a giant antenna, and swings the chopper around and throws it at Bomber. What a FUCKING ASSHOLE!! Protector of the weak, yeah sure… PROTECTOR OF MY BALLS!! So naturally the boyfriend dies, yet the stupid bitch lives. That’s fucking fair, leave the dumb shits alive while those worthy to stay alive die. So Jack kills Bomber, then the building collapses, and of course it doesn’t kill the girl, then she wakes up, sees Jack turn into a bird and fly away. After that she stands up and runs after the bird, hopefully to kill it, and that's when the movie ends. But what perplexes me is that Jack turns into a bird… what is he? A fucking magician? Can he pull a rabbit out of a hat? Or more like a hat out of a rabbit!
In conclusion, this is the crap that started all of this mess with Jack. I don’t understand, if this one was so bad, why bother with a prequel? What I wanted, and I don’t know why, was to see how Jack fights to the death with the Slum King cause he is the actual number one villain here. Why show me all that useless stuff with Evil Town and Hell’s Wind? I don’t know, but I think Violence Jack is one of the biggest fuck ups in anime of the late ’80. It’s so bad that I actually would rather step on my own balls with disco shoes than watch this shit again.

Appleseed


Ahhhh, Appleseed… the first anime movie I watched and enjoyed. While some may say that it isn’t anime since it has 3D graphics, but I call it an anime movie. And a damn good one at that. First of all, what attracted me are 2 things: sci-fi, which I enjoy the most, and some fast-paced action. I didn’t expect anything more than this. If you want to know if this is for you, then read on.
The story is set in the year 2131 AD. Appleseed stars Deunan Knute, a young, legendary female soldier and a survivor of the Third World War, which brought Earth to the brink of destruction. While fighting a number of unknown figures, a platoon of tall, white-armored soldiers fly in from overhead and just when it looks like Duenan is out of escape options they open fire on the enemy whom she has been fighting. Then they take her to Olympus, a Utopian city. Here she joins the prestigious ESWAT organization to serve as the city's guardian. So there the true story begins, with a threat to humanity being uncovered and Duenan is the only one with the key to save humanity. So as you can see the plot is very linier and the only real mystery you’ll have is who the real bad guy is. So the movie isn’t made for those who seek deep plots and hidden messages or such. The plot is here just so there wouldn’t be any randomness and so the action would have some purpose. What I like is the sci-fi setting, post world war, high-tech cities and armor and weapons, all that good stuff. I mean when I first saw this movie I thought that they read my mind. How did they know that I wanted to see stuff like that? Because I didn’t want to absorb myself in the story, I didn’t want to absorb myself in the drama… I wanted to rot my brain with fast-paced action and NOT give a shit about anything else. It’s not to say that the plot is senseless and makes the movie retarded. No. It just isn’t the type of plot that will absorb you.
There is also a good character cast, but it’s nothing special, most are military type, some are more civilian like, one is a cyborg, but in the end it’s nothing original. They gave more attention to the characters than they did to the plot, like they paid attention to character development, but it still doesn’t change the fact that the cast is just above average.
The presentation… gorgeous. One might say that the 3D graphics ruin it, but I say it is one major plus. Character animation gives emotion and personality to each individual and also makes the action more enjoyable. Voice cast is believable and the music, while maybe not memorable, fits everything perfectly.
Overall, this movie isn’t quite a masterpiece, but I still recommend it to those that just want fun and not waste time thinking about every plot element, and trying to figure things out. If you’re like me, enjoy action and sci-fi put together like a match made in Heaven, then this is one you don’t want to miss.


p.s. There are speculations that Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell take place in the same universe due to the nature of the 3rd World War and some of the sci-fi elements presented here, but I will have to decline that cause: 1) The story here takes place in 2131 AD; 2) They’ve only had WW 3 while in Ghost in the Shell they’ve also had WW4. There are also other differences, but you get the picture… they are NOT in the same universe.

Violence Jack Hell's Wind

First of I’d like to say that I was stunned that there is a sequel. I mean the previous one was a retarded piece of shit, so why bother with another movie? Don’t they have something better to do? Like make something worthwhile and enter a new age of anime? For me it seems like the late ’80 were the dark ages of Japanese animation cause a lot of retarded shit I’ll review (for which I think I’ll open a special category) comes from that period. Well, whatever, maybe I’ll talk history another time, but now on-topic.
At first it seems like a bit less stupid. It still has a lot of gore and mindless violence, just like Violence Jack Evil Town did, but at least they turned down the rape level. It starts with a pointless car chase, these Hell’s Wind (which sounds funny when they pronounce it) bikers chase a couple in their car, capture them and horribly kill the guy and rape, but leave alive the girl. I’m guessing they showed us this because the girl will play an important part later on, but I didn’t get my hopes high. So after that, the story takes us to a small town and specifically the school there. Obviously, the teacher there is hot and cute and all the children love her and there is one in particular that vows to protect her. This kid is the one the story focuses on a lot. So he goes and makes a little bow and in the meantime you see a scene of a woman that looks like Rambo, the only difference is that she has tits (and big ones obviously). I don’t know why but she is training half naked. And she is a remarkable bowman (or bowwoman I guess). But… where is Jack? You show me this movie for like 16 minutes so where is he? Isn’t this his movie? Well as this commando chick is training you see a brief scene with him in which she sees him, freaks out and hides and for no reason his eyes glow. What’s the deal with his eyes? They glow an awful lot, so is he morphing, what is going on? These eye glows serve no purpose. Actually most of the things he does serve no purpose. So now we change back to that town and we see Hell’s Wind come by and destroy the town, kill and rape. Now this kid comes out with his pathetic bow that, again, serves no purpose and he hears his teacher’s voice. She was tied to a tree and some guy with a knife starts cutting her clothes off. And not until that guy reaches her underwear that commando chick attacks them. Turn out she has explosive arrows. Ok…that’s fucking lucky. So the leader calls for a swift and general retreat so they show you everybody that were at the tree get on the bikes and flee. What puzzles me is that this chick kills dozens, yet their numbers only grow. It’s like they re-spawn, it’s weird. Some guys stay behind to cover the leaders retreat. And finally the leader meets Jack. So at first a couple of thugs rush in to kill him, but they fail, of course. Then the leader puts a grenade on some guy’s crotch and that guy stays for like a lot of seconds which is weird because the grenade should explode after 3 or 5 seconds, yet that only happened when the guy rushed on Jack. What a fucking coincidence. And of course the grenade didn’t work so they start unloading every bit of ammunition on him. Now, it’s becoming retarded. It reaches that level of what-the-fuck-is-going-on-should-I-go-and-have-a-shit-and-watch-it-later moments. I mean he makes NO efforts to dodge these bullets or at least to rush on these guys. It’s like he doesn’t give a shit. So in the meantime the kid who promised to protect his teacher and miserably failed comes by for no reason. I guess failing once, just isn't enough for him. It’s not like he would’ve stopped these guys so why did he come, and more importantly how did this little kid catch up with these guys ON FOOT. Yeah, he has no bike, and I’m guessing a little kid’s average speed is… is…is very slow. So how did he arrive in such a short time? So he sees Jack, and Jack becomes very happy that somebody gets to see him being gunned down. It’s like some people want to be seen when they are having sex, only this is more sick and twisted. He also has the strength to tell the kid to, I quote ,,Burn this image on to his eyes”. Well images are burned on the retina, but I’m guessing I’m asking for too much, to expect these complicated things to be known by this guy. I’m surprised he has the time to waste talking to this kid instead of doing something useful. But I think the movie would’ve been to fucking short, so… let’s accept the fact that the guy who withstood a grenade can’t withstand a barrage of bullets. So finally he falls down and those assholes continue their journey, and just then, that commando chick catches up. She sees Jack, rushes over and asks a very, very stupid question (why would she bother with an intelligent question). She asks ,,How did you get hurt?”. I’m like ,,Bitch, are you serious? Well let’s analyze the scene: big-ass bullet hole and a lot of blood coming out of them, I’m guessing… yeah it’s a verdict – he was tickled to death”. So they take him back to town and… how the fuck did they pick h… no I’m not bothering thinking too much on this. So they bandage him and I think they didn’t take out the bullets, that would be asking for too much, and suddenly the kid says ,,I have to save my teacher”. Ok…so she was kidnapped? Remember the general retreat, and how EVERYBODY got on their bikes and ran? Well turns out some unknown person had the courage to disobey the order, untie her, grab her, carry her on his bike and NOT get shot by the commando chick, and get to be seen by us. So the commando chick goes to their base and the kid brings leftover weapons for the villagers to go after them, to retaliate. But of course everybody here is a pussy, so they don’t go. And after all this drama, Jack, who was awake all this time says ,,I’ll go”. Why didn’t he say that from the beginning and spare us all this useless drama? The kid points out that he is too hurt to make a difference, and what if the fucking bandits use a magnet? He'll be fucked because of all the bullets he is carrying around with him. But he replies ,,Even if I’m Violence Jack?”. Now how cocky can this guy get? He expects for everyone to know him? But of course that’s what happens, cause everybody shit their pants when they heard this. Weren’t they convinced that he is Jack, or at least just as good from the fact that he is bigger than their houses and survived that barrage of bullets? Well now they put Jack on a truck and they go rescue the teacher. Then we see their base. The front gate is guarded by some thugs and… while I’m talking about these thugs, I want to point out that it can’t get more stereotypical than this. I know they are supposed to be cruel and barbaric Neanderthals but can’t they have a little bit more class? Seriously, it’s like they are so stupid they are like ,,Duhhhhh” and one of them says ,,That chick gives me a boner” then everybody laughs like it’s the best stand-up ever. So the commando chick comes but she gets captured, and they tie her. Some guy with a knife starts making little scars, but then a big-ass knife flies through his head and everybody say that this is Jacks knife. So the knife flies from behind then… WHY AFTER 3 SECONDS JACK COMES FROM THAT GUYS LEFT SIDE? And more importantly why does he come out of the ground? To look melodramatic? And how did he throw the knife then? So he starts killing these guys with ease, and I don’t know why they don’t shoot him like before, but a guy takes out a Stinger Missile Launcher and fires at Jack which sends him flying into a big airplane that has a lot of fuel. So not only does he withstand the missile but he also withstands the explosion, so… how come he was bothered by some fucking bullets. Well, anyway, he kills everybody, rescues both the teacher and the commando chick and then he goes his way and the women go with the kid. Jack makes some remark that the kid will grow into a fine hero of the land and that they will meet again as friends. As they depart the kid salutes Jack like he can perceive it and… oh my God, Jack actually senses it and smiles? This is one fucking coincidence or maybe Jack is a telepath, but this is sooooo cheesy.
So the movie finally ends but it ends like there is going to be a sequel. Well there isn’t and I thank God for that. I can’t imagine anything past this movie, which is the final, and it was released in 1990. So please don’t bother with it and rely a bit on my review. The only thing that bothers me is that there are people out there that liked it so much that they put amvs with this movie. Well don’t expect such things from me, it isn’t even worth my effort.

Violence Jack Evil Town




So like I promised, this is my first review of an anime from my,, Shitty anime” list. If watching drama is a test to prove Animenerdz’s nerdness, then this is my test. So… Violence Jack Evil Town. Wow… sounds original. Actually I can do a 2 word review – Shit Town. But that is no fun, you want to hear ( or read ) more of my thoughts on this, and since I love you all so much I will try and give it my best.
If you want to know what VJET ( the initials of the title, which of course sounds like shit when pronounced ) is then I will describe it like this… it’s a cross-breed between Hostel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and hentai. This movie was made for those that throw all shred of logic and decency aside. But it’s not just the excessive use of gore violence and sex that puts it in my ,,Retarded anime list”, but also everything that happens, which is supposed to have logic, cause and effect and all that stuff I’m expecting from an anime, but doesn’t. I don’t know why, but beyond the veil of blood and sex I expected logic. My wish puzzled me. I knew from the start that this was shit, why did I even bother expecting something. Guess it’s my naïve nature. In order for me to express my frustration and show you the retarded moments that would BEG logic in any other normal anime, I will do a retelling of the movie, like a summary. While some of you might say ,,Oh you shouldn’t bother with these so much” I’ll say ,,If this were any good I just might overlook some moments, but this is not the case”. And know, just because I’m not sane enough to keep away from this, I’m still sane enough to pursue logic in all. And no amount of re-watching this movie will change my opinion. Plus it’s so bad that the picture you see above is the only one that was opening. Now that is… BAD.
So let’s get started. It starts off with an earthquake destroying Tokyo, and then it shows survivors under after 6 months. Those, that lived underground, have named the new city Evil Town and it was divided in 3 zones, or groups. A zone which is all male and children represent the weak, B zone which is all thugs represent the strong, and C zone which is all female represent the women that were with A zone, but after some shit the males did, they run off and no one has had contact with them. B zone remind me a little of Mad Max, but I’ll talk about that in my next movie review. So the A zone tries to dig themselves to the surface and… WHY THE FUCK IF THEY TRY TO REACH UP, THEY ARE DIGGING DOWN? Is this Journey to the center of the Earth?
So as they dig they find an unearth Jack which was buried there for 6 months (please remember this fact). Jack is a 6 foot tall giant that looks like he crushes diamonds between his fingers. So as they dig him up B zone thugs come and Jack kicks the motorcycle of one of those thugs together with the thug, and they run off. Ok… then he goes to the A zone leader and he agrees to help them against the B zone. Ok… now we see the B zone. The leader is also a giant which has a second in command which I also think it’s his lover and… she… he… IT is a BIG fuck up. This character is the HOTTEST character in this movie, but… every time I see IT my brain is like ,,Dude… find a gun, load it, and put it in your mouth cause if you got the hots for a transsexual then all meaning and reason in this life, all which is Holy and Sacred, is gone for you”. But then like most of the characters here, she got naked and my brain said ,,Oh, dude it’s all good, she’s fine, we are safe”. Despite what you might read on wiki or other sources, which state she IS a transsexual, they were all probably thrown off, like I was, by her voice. Yes, she has the voice of a man (and it is the most annoying voice ever). What’s the deal? I thought that no woman wanted to do voice cast for this piece of shit, but no, there are women voice in the cast, for the ,,all exclusive” C zone. So what? Did they run out of women in all of Japan for this one character? Or was it this one guy who said ,,I’ll kill you all and then myself if you don’t give me this role” ? I don’t know, but that is a big minus. So anyway, back to the plot. This… thing, proposes that they have a market for A zone and C zone. Ok… what’s the point? Did they suddenly grow a heart? And everybody there is like ,,Yeah let’s do it. That is the most awesome thing I heard”. They react like dumb shits, which they actually are. So they do a market and guess who shows up? Jack. THAT WAS ONE WILD FUCKING GUESS! To propose a market and for that guy to show up. And they don’t even fight, it’s like they see each other and go ,,Oh, a fine day to you sir” ,,Yes thank you kind sir”. So if they lured him out, why didn’t they do anything? But now true stupidity arises. The secluded C zone comes out. A group of women come and immediately, one of them comes up and says ,,I want to buy you Jack”. Ok… how did she know about someone dug up only recently, in A zone, especially since they were in seclusion? Also… HOW THE FUCK DID SHE KNEW HIS NAME? He only said it to 3 or 4 members of A zone, so how come she knows his name? Not even B zone knew that, and the A zone didn’t mention it. I have to be really drunk to accept this as it is. So they say ,, Come with us, we will pay anything, we will even offer ourselves to you”. And this guy takes a long time to process that info. Guess it’s too much for one brain cell to handle. So after 63 second (yeah I counted) he says ,,Yeah sure” and he leaves those assholes from A zone. Now we get to see the C zone. And those that made this shit really put the women in a comfortable environment with clean water and shit. It’s like the earthquake never even happened here. But all these women are really naive. I mean this guy looks like he eats rhinoceros for breakfast, yet he walks in so casual and everybody accepts him so easily, like he is something not out of the ordinary. Ladies, I love you, I respect you, and I think you’re superior to me in many aspects, but… here you aren’t shown in a good light. Also I have to say that Venus must have lined up with a lot of cosmic shit, because all these women are… Fashion Models. If Heaven on Earth (or under it) exists, then this is it for this guy. Yet he doesn’t give a shit. On a scale of 1 to 10 my respect reached negative 2 for him. So all of a sudden he walks around and stops next to a RANDOM wall and… punches through a SOLID CONCRETE WALL. Question arises… WHAT HAS HE BEEN DOING FOR SIX MONTHS UNDER A SMALL PILE OF RUBBLE? And then he says… I can’t believe it got so stupid… he says ,, This hole leads to the exit, now go”. Are you shitting me? You motherfucker were buried for 6 months, now you walk up to a RANDOM wall, punch a hole through it and claim that this is the exit? Guess they were really running out of ideas here and just wanted to get this over with. And all the women are like ,,Yeah undoubtedly, this is it, thank you”. How trustful can a person get? If I were them I’d say ,,Are you for real you overgrown shaved ape? Why should I trust you? You look like Frankenstein, you’re eyes are glowing a lot and when you open your mouth you freak me out” So anyway, they start going, but instead of guarding the exit this guy goes to kick the shit out of the B zone group boss. What was he thinking? That the rest of the group will sit and watch? Actually the leader of the C zone told him to go, but she isn’t his boss. If he would have a good working brain (or at least if he had it) he would do the most rational thing and guard the exit. So of course the B zone catches up, after they horrifically murder all of the A zone (including the children, the sick bastards), and they proceed to rape the C zone. After Jack kicks the shit out of the boss, he doesn’t kill him, but goes after the rest. And then he rips, tears and cuts the entire B zone to pieces with his knife. Oh, back up. He has a knife? Why the fuck didn’t he use it before? Was it on a lock up timer? And also if this guy is so powerful, what was he waiting for? Some kind of invitation? I mean why didn’t he go from the start to B group, or at least at the market he could have went to the boss, and say ,,Yeah I know from the script I’m supposed to wait for you to kill and rape a lot, but since I have a conscience and more than one brain cell working, I’ll proceed to kill you now with my FUCKING KNIFE !” But that would be asking for too much and besides, the movie would’ve been too fucking short to be considered an OVA, let alone a movie. So eventually C zone goes to the surface and… OK, two possible scenarios: either the earthquake destroyed all of the Earth, or nobody gives 2 fucks about Japan and Tokyo. Where are other survivors? Where are rescue teams and aid centers? Where is all that stuff? Well who cares, the movie is over, and thank God.
So there are other disgusting and retarded moments, but you get the picture. I doubt that any of you will be interested to see it, but the fact that I found seeders for this piece of crap, and more importantly lechers, proves that this shit, which was made in 1988 by the way, still attracts curios minds to it. DON’T GET SUCKERED IN. Seriously. I know you might be thinking ,,This is your opinion”, but the fact that this is from the top 100 worst anime list means that there are others that share my opinion, just didn’t express it yet. Well I expressed it for all of us, and I say… FUCK IT. The rape scenes are disturbing enough, but in terms of gore Leather Face from Texas Chainsaw is a 4 year old chap in a sailor uniform compared to Jack. Jack will rip Leather Face’s asshole inside out. VJET you suck diarrhea through a straw.

So I hope you enjoyed my review and expect future ones like this.

Evangelion 2.0 - You Can (Not) Advance Trailers

Continuing where Evangelion 1.0 left off, the paramilitary organization NERV continues to defend the world from the return of the Angels. The somewhat pleasant life Shinji Ikari has found in Tokyo-3 is about to take a drastic turn when a new group of Evangelion pilots, including the fiery redhead Asuka Langley Shikinami, are brought in to assist him and Rei Ayanami in battle. Meanwhile, Misato Katsuragi faces a problem of her own as her old flame Ryoji Kaji is transferred to NERV, raising mixed feelings between them. As everyone tries to adjust to each other, and the war against the Angels takes its toll, a series of events will bring the coming end of mankind ever closer.
