Mixed Feelings
I remember watching it back in 2000s when it first came out. I was hyped to see a oversexualized and gory anime. Then I watched it and remember being underwhelmed by it.

Recently, I gave it a rewatch and now I am not only doubly underwhelmed but also can see the clear reasons behind my initial hype and disappointment afterwards.

First of all the pacing is fucked as hell. It is stretched like a fuckn cheesy slice of pizza that never lets go. My initial bad view of this show clearly stems from that reason. It seems like it is targeted for brain damaged people that has cognitive problems. It is so much repetitive for no clear reason other than to fill the animation time without much effort.

Sex sells. That much is clear so I cannot say I am saddened by the amount of titties, thighs and sexual intercourses in the anime. But, alone they could not save the show. This is not a hentai after all. Were it a hentai with more gore, it might have been at least decent I guess. But sadly this is not the case.

Action is also on the level of non-action. We have to watch full two episodes just to see a fuckn tiny fight to unfold.

My biggest disappointment is in the director. After directing masterpiece OVAs like Angel Cop and Violence Jack, etc., Ichiro Itano seems to take a joke on us and direct this half baked show. Shame on you Itano-san, shame on you, not sugoi!!
