Synopsis

The overcrowding of Earth forced humanity to migrate to other planets and adapt accordingly. Spread across the solar system, the race continued to prosper—until Pluto was suddenly attacked by an unknown enemy. The complete annihilation of its population made clear the mysterious assailants' aim to destroy mankind. The invaders use their human victims' knowledge and energy to pilot giant mechanical bodies, and humanity has dubbed them Apocalypse out of fear.

In the year 2199, Second Lieutenant Jonathan Tyberius clears his screening tests and becomes qualified to undergo the most elite military training course—allowing him to develop the ability to pilot humanity’s own manned robots. Working through the tough military training, he gradually grows closer to his new roommate, Leonard Schteinberg.

Beneath the facade of a disciplined army base, corruption runs deep. With a tyrannical predator calling the shots, and long-forgotten memories returning to haunt them, Jonathan and Leonard begin to suspect that their greatest enemy might not actually be the Apocalypse.

Me and a good friend of mine did a movie night, as we occasionally do, and after watching the Movie (Makai Tensho, from 1981) i decided to show them the OVA also based on the same Novel (though taking much inspiration from the Ken Ishikawa manga).
As it happens, we got quite curious for the staff, as the intended punchline for the night was that the OVA ends without a conclusion - another dreaded "OVA cancelled early in its life" situation - but instead when clicking on the directors name we stumbled upon a name for an OVA that took us quite by surprise:

Hot Space Cowboys.

Mixed Feelings

I went into this with an open mind, and I tried not to get my expectations too high. After all, there are very, very few yaoi anime that I can consider a masterpiece(even considering the fact that this is recommended with Ai no Kusabi), and I didn't want to be unfair in my judgment. That being said, on to the rest of the review.

This anime was by no means terrible; at least, in my opinion, but neither was it great. The story is unique enough, especially for the yaoi genre, but didn't quite deliver the way it should have. I think the thing that hurts ...

Overview:

It's Valentine's Day! That means a day of romance and god awful hentai reviews! This year I've decided to try be more inclusive. That means finding the most hardcore gay hentai I could find. Leave your Yaoi hands at home, because it's BARA time! Oh, and this hardcore gay hentai is also a Star Trek parody for some reason. This is Legend of the Blue Wolves...released by Media Blasters as "Hot Space Cowboys".

Bara: The final frontier. Time to go where no Top 50 MAL critic has gone before! This is the genre of macho, manly sex that is created by gay men for gay ... men. I've already reviewed a Yaoi title when I looked at "Boku no Sexual Harassment". This is something VERY different. There is no "Seme" and "Uke" here. These men have body fat, muscle, and hairy chests. This some REAL gay shit!

Plot:

It is the distant future and Mankind has united to explore the stars. Unfortunately, this means we encounter a hostile alien race that acts as a hive mind and wants to assimilate all organic life in the universe. Yep, this anime features the Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It doesn't even try to hide this. Resistance is futile! Prepare to be assimilated!

To counter this threat, Starfleet has 2 brilliant young commanders. The first is Jonathan Tiberius, who is named after James Tiberius Kirk from the original Star Trek. The second is just named Leonard after Leonard Nemoy. These 2 quickly fall in love, but trouble strikes when their evil superior officer decides to accuse Tiberius of treason. He makes this accusation solely so he can brutally rape Tiberius. The superior officer is also a walking tub of lard, so I can't imagine these sex scenes are very appealing even for the intended audience. Leonard fights off the lardass and comforts Tiberius with passionate man love. For striking a suprior officer, Leonard is sent to the front lines and is assimilated by the Borg. After some truly nightmarish imagery, Tiberius must put the assimilated Leonard out of his misery and kill him. However, the final result of the conflict between Mankind and the Borg is left unknown. The end.

Art:

This was made the shortlived Phoenix Entertainment. They only made a few other anime including Legend of the Overfiend, Ninja Resurrection, Sin the Movie, and also that mediocore girls baseball anime called Princess Nine. I know about Princess Nine because ADV dubbed it and I was kind of an ADV fanboy at one point. I guess the art was...ok. I certainly wasn't in the target demographic, but the animation wasn't terrible for a 1 episode hentai from the mid 1990s.

Overall:

So...that was a thing that happened. I can't say I really enjoyed this experience, but I found the transparant Star Trek spoof to be amusing. Phoenix Entertainment made some...odd choices for adaptation. Ninja Resurrection gave us that fight between historical 17th century samurai, Jubei Yagyu, and Crystal Dragon Jesus. To be fair, I guess it was fairly progressive of them to adapt a Bara back in 1996 Japan. Kudos to them. It's too bad they've been out of business for over 10 years. Who knows what other utterly bizarre titles they could have given us. Happy Valentines Day to everyone! If you're single this year...like I am...remember that there is always next year!
