Virgin Fleet is conceptually hilarious, but in reality is mostly just boring and irritating. The background is amazing. A conservative group of Japanese parents wanted to finance an anime that would teach young people the value of sexual abstinence and maintaining purity. It's about a special army unit of virgin wizards that need to save Japan from the dastardly Russians. If a woman makes it to 20 or a guy makes it to 30 without having sex, they become a fucking wizard and can use powerful magic! The plot is so ludicrously stupid that it became a meme on Japan's 2chan and this eventually spread to 4chan. There are STILL anime making fun of Virgin Fleet! Interspecies Reviewers had a joke in the last episode where a lizard man who abstained from sex for the entire series became a wizard!

Maze is a short OVA that was meant to advertise and raise funding for a 26 episode anime. The actual anime isn't bad, but the OVA is absolutely terrible!

Ninja Resurrection is about a battle between the real life samurai Jubei Yagyu and Jesus Christ, who transforms into a crystal dragon. Then after Jesus is killed, he gets angry and resurrects as Satan. Sadly, it was cancelled after 2 episodes.

Plastic Little was a passion project by a master of smut art. It's a 40 minute OVA with a nonsensical plot but astonishingly high budget. It has quite possibly the best boobs of any anime ever made.

The highlight of my collection is probably my old school Evangelion box set from ADV. That's long out of print and ADV doesn't exist anymore, so they obviously don't have the license. Most anime that go out of print eventually get a reprint like Baccano, Berserk 97, Outlaw Star, etc. Overall, the price of anime DVDs has plummeted since the early 2000s when companies charged 50 dollars for a volume of maybe 4-6 episodes! I also live next to 2 used junk stores with pretty good prices. Getting all of Hellsing Ultimate on Bluray was my most expensive purchase of the last 4 years and that was only around 50 dollars.

Some of my bad anime highlights include: Angel Cop on Bluray, Dark Cat, Garzey's Wing, Virgin Fleet, Maze, Plastic Little, and Ninja Resurrection.

Around 50 DVDs.

I sadly don't own Geist!

Thank you. It's always nice to get feedback, knowing somebody cares for my blurb makes continuing worth while.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I own that shit on DVD and show it to as many people as possible!

My favorite "so bad it's good" anime is easily Mad Bull 34. Just be sure to watch the hilarious English dub. It's half of the experience!

Those are some good movies, haven't seen all of them, but heard good things. Do you have a letterboxd btw? This is mine.

I also made a list for my 2020 favourites https://letterboxd.com/stampede/list/favorites-of-2020/
Some standouts out those are Run, Palm Springs, WolfWalkers, Another Round, Devil all the Time and Beasts clawing at straws. I liked everything on that list tho.

Grats on Akira, it's a classic for a reason. Would really like to see the Taika Watiti film cover some of the things in the manga. Honestly it should just be a mini-series. Still need to watch LotGH... its been a long time since I wanted to, but just never got around. I pretty much only been watching seasons. I liked Great Pretender, Dorohedoro and Golden Kamuy. I agree Jugutsu Kaisen is awesome though, definitely one of the best this year.

I'm alright, I've been better, just trying to get my shit back together build some good habits and stuff...
Yeah man last year was rough AF. No gym definitely hit me the hardest. Working out was my therapy in a lot of ways, I've been doing so yoga and calisthenics.
You watch/read anything good lately?

Merry Christmas bro!
Haven't heard from you in a while, hope you're doing well.

hyouge mono, ping pong, real, sunny, kamigami no itadaki in favs, now thats what I call taste

Ok, maybe I start with the Akira manga after finishing YKK, and thanks for letting me to ask for recomendations.

It was Akira and some friends that suggested me to watch anime,
After that, I started watching the mainstream stuff, and slowly, I started watching less popular anime by recomendation from some YouTube channels.

Thanks for saying so!

Sry for the late reply, work and going out have been eating a lot of my time and sometimes it just feels like I don't have anything to add or say. I'd definitely be down for a Blade Runner anime by Watanabe. He did the short animation for the newest movie too and I would really like to see him return to his sci-fi and action roots... I mean slice or life and "music" based shows are fun, but dam I miss the old Watanabe. Very hyped for the Cyberpunk 2077 game, I don't even PC game though, so I might start just for that. Watanabe is really into music though, he helped produce the music for the Lupin III: Fujiko anime and he even did a music video for Flylo and Anderson Paak. Have you seen anything by David Lynch btw? He was in another Flylo music video.



Yeah I remember watching Cloud Atlas in theaters... it was a really strange movie, by the directors of Run Lola. I don't think they've really done anything since then, but it even had Tom Hanks in it, even though it was more of an indie movie. I been watching a lot of movies lately, I was just an Fantasia Film fest in Montreal and saw Ready or Not which was great. The directors and lead actress where there for the premiere of the movie. There were a few other movies, but nothing really memorable tbh. I feel like more of that author's work in general should be adapted. Lucifer and the Biscuit hammer is really good and definitely deserves an anime. I think the author just knows how to write satisfying conclusions. Anime is just like any other industry man, it will jump on trends to make money. Isekai is hot money maker right now and ppl are gonna take advantage of that.
