Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Below Average story.
Review: The story involves a woman in which wherever she goes, men go wild in raping every woman in thier sights. She eventually comes across a town in which she is kidnapped and sold to a brothel. There you see the unusual things go on. The story is too disturbing to describe any further.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Definitely NOT a Saturday morning candidate!
Review: There was a time when anime aficionados were few and far between. If you had a reasonable knowledge of the genre, you were among the privileged few on the coveted fringe of geek society. But, thanks to the arrival and popularity of 'DragonBall Z', 'Sailor Moon', 'Pokemon' and the like, nowadays it seems like every two-bit part-time comic-shop patron and his mother are armchair 'otaku'.

If you still want to be considered somewhat unique and on-the-fringe in this 'post-saturation' era of anime in the US, you'll have to become a follower of the infamous hentai subgenre. Ya know... PORN 'TOONS! Of course, you'll need to somehow endure depictions of graphic sex, violence, and other disturbing imagery. You'll also have to be able to handle the stigma of being even more of a social outcast than the average geekin' fanboy... if such a thing is possible.

If you're wondering whether or not you have what it takes to make the cut, I'd recommend watching the first volume of 'Imma Youjo: The Erotic Temptress' as a start. Although it depicts plenty of explicit sex, its level of gore is significantly lower than its contemporaries ('La Blue Girl', for example). The animation isn't the best quality I've seen in this perverted genre, but is far from the worst.

Like all of the other 'Imma Youjo' eppies, the first one is rather tragic, and contains few light moments or humor. It involves some weird lust triangle (actually, it's more of a quadrangle) between the 'erotic temptress' herself, this weird cyber-monster who lives in a giant futuristic-looking tower, some other dude, and a sorta fem-lookin' manservant (who, judging from his reaction to certain, er, 'proceedings', really DOES dig chicks), set in a 'Road Warrior' type of future wasteland. If you can hack this show without too much trouble, then you should have few problems working your way up to the heavier stuff... like tentacles (yeesh, what some Japanese animators find, er, entertaining)...

Please note: I've discovered that a few copies of this particular volume were released without English subtitles a few years back. Apparently the 'Turn subtitles on/off' feature was on the fritz. 'Course, with the kinda sick proceedings goin' on here, it's not like I was payin' much attention to the subtitles in the first place...

'Late!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Terrible Anime
Review: This is by far the worst anime I have ever spent money on. The animation is terrible, the plot is threadbare, and the dub is terrible. And forget about extras, they dont exist. I had heard good things about this series, but it turned out lacking...

youve been warned...
