I can't possibly even begin to give this a score. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and no anime or other form of entertainment will top this

So that was the infamous Cipher. Meh, just some AMV promotion for the manga. Nice soundtrack though.

That voice acting... unease & awkward realism like the interviews.
beautiful osts, immersive NY scenery
Didn't know it's a love triangle BL incest.
greatness since 1986
What nostalgia of the towers in their glory days, the deep symbolism to the actor twins.

Hi, can we take a moment to admire the sub for the anime.
The terrible stereotyped dub voice acting and the terrible plot of this anime makes it a masterpiece of trash.

This could be a great concept. 80 style music and pop in one mash up but its horrendously boring and it's not if the much of the visuals and video match up in sync or so close in concept. They're kinda just pasted on to fit the mood as best as they could.

And Phil Collins is king but A) Should've used Genesis cause hella. B) You will not sway me with music like this.

As this show is being mentioned here and there, I decided to watch it.
Yeah, it makes no damn sense. Yeah, dubs are funny.
But I still don't get it why such a plain thing had become a meme

And now, for something completely different.

I at least liked that this anime was different from the typical anime. The English was even natural sounding though there was clearly a botched translation of Japanese into English in the script at places.

It's basically the ultimate city pop anime, a twenty minute music video set to American pop with a lot of recycled footage and a lot of shots of the Twin Towers for ultimate city pop effect.

That was certainly different.

The music was definitely good, and I've heard all those songs before. The English voices were mostly done by Japanese "Hafu," which is why the English pronunciation is pretty good.

Those two brothers seem awfully close, don't they? A bit strange, but they seem happy together nonetheless.

I'd read the Manga, but I don't think that anyone has scanlated it.

Wha...What was that? I only watched the first 26 minutes because the last 14 looked like nonsense, but I still have absolutely no idea what this was about. Was there even a plot? I think I figured out there was a teenage (?) celebrity talking about his movie? Was that it? And he had a boyfriend sleeping in his house? Did I miss something? The art was just as terrible. The main character, god only knows what his name was, was monstrously taller than everyone else around him. I think I saw it say he was only six foot two, but he looked like he was seven feet tall, so either that number is seriously wrong or everyone in New York City was a lot shorter in the 80s. Would recommend. 3/10

This was so enjoyable, I was not expecting a compilation music videos setting up the story in this OVA.
The music was so funky and made the anime fun, complementing it well.

Also, loved being able to see the process of the film and the scenes of 80s NY.

That was not an anime. That was more like an experience...

Just kidding, lol. Or maybe not: it was a bad experience after all. The only good things about this show were: good music and great scenes with New York from before terrorist attacks from 11th September 2001. Although it is not enough to make an anime, especially a short one, look good.

Rest was a mess and felt more like a random and sloppy AMV. I'm not familiar with manga, so I can't say what was the main topic of this short OVA, or rather what was going on there really, lol. English dubbing was hilarious as hell.

I really liked this, it had great atmosphere. Very 80s indeed. You just got to accept you won't understand the plot if you haven't read the manga, and from then on, it is really chill.

80's America, The Music Video.

Well, at least now I know why Mal listed this show as 26 mins and not 40 mins.

In regards to the show, it is one of the most boring things I've seen. Great music, but that's about it. It's weird to see that the original audio is in English. Understandable, since they wanted to get that American feel.

Overall, this shows gets a 2/10 (idk man).
