A great opportunity to either torture someone or get someone to watch and talk to you about your obscure favorites:

PROCESS

1) Force the poster above you to watch the first two episodes of any anime, though it has to be something you've already seen.

2) When the next poster challenges you with an anime, watch at least two episodes of it.

3) Write your thoughts on it. Edit this into your original post.


RULES

- You're free to challenge movies/1-episode OVAs or watch more than 2 before reviewing, of course.

- Be objective. Even if you're recommended Yaoi, give it a completely fair chance for at least the first two episodes.

- You can ONLY challenge anime that you yourself have already seen at least two episodes of.

Inferno Cop challenge: 13/13 eps completed
Verdict: 3/10
Thoughts:
  • Loved Inferno Cop's unique voice acting.
  • There’s no reason or need for multiple episodes. I would've enjoyed this a lot more if this continuous narrative was treated as such rather than chopping up the experience and spitting me out of its narrative every few minutes. As well, having to skip previews and the annoying ED blaring every 2-3 minutes got annoying fast.
  • Though over the top (definitely not a bad thing!), the comedy was just… tame for me. Nothing really stood out, and all pretty trite – nothing too original. Completely the opposite of the other studio director's Dead Leaves in this respect.
  • Though definitely nowhere near Dead Leaves's perfect pace, I liked the number of events that happened in its short span. But then again none of the events really had much substance. It's like reading a list rather than reading a chapter. It has breadth, but not depth.
  • Worst parts: all of episode 9, and the extended vomiting in episode 12.

I'll start then. Go ahead and watch Inferno Cop, faux. An episode is 3-4 min, so you can either watch the whole thing, which equals 2 episodes of another anime, or watch 2 episodes. You can find it on youtube.

Edit:
Studio 4°C it is, isn't it? Was able to tell from the animation style.

Anyway, watched Gala, the only word to describe it is Beautiful.
Moondrive was pretty Dead Leaves-esque, really fun as well.

Gonna continue them and watch the other collection. More works by Studio 4°C are always welcome.

Just saw the first two eps, and yeah, I’m definitely finishing it. Decided to do my writeup after I'm all done.

Awright Candy, since you gave me a short, I’ll be nice and give you a short too.
Genius Party Beyond: http://myanimelist.net/anime/6795/Genius_Party_Beyond
(get it here: http://bakabt.me/145591-genius-party-beyond-dvd-h264-ac3-bss.html)

It’s a collection of shorts by a bunch of acclaimed directors. I just enjoyed the whole experience so much because it literally feels like you're starting a new and completely different anime every few minutes. And if you like this, do Genius Party as well if you want: http://bakabt.me/146806-genius-party-bss.html. (The collection's divided into two entries because five directors were late on their submissions. So those five later submitted it separately to its own thing: Beyond.)

Oh and after you’re done, I’d be curious to see how you rank each one: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=386237

The Rapeman challenge verdict: 5/10
Thoughts:
Oh wow, this was a lot better than expected. I actually commented my journey through this in the club already, so here're my thoughts:
http://imgur.com/p5pXVos

Notably, the show wouldn't have been half as fun without MANLY-SUBS's perfect subbing. Like how they made the guy call his daughter an /a/tard, that "ROCKET PUNCH" when the boss punches that red-haired kid, and their random parenthesized TL notes ("COCK GOES HERE" afront a normal and unsuspecting =O-face).

The first episode was a lot better than the second. I actually don't think I've seen much hentai apart from Golden Boy... was that all? Can't remember. Anyway, that made Rapeman a pretty fresh experience for me, but I still can't say I enjoyed it as much as any of my 6s, so a solid 5 (which means 'alright' on my scale) and I'm actually left wanting more. So thanks, I had fun!

The Rapeman is only 2 episodes but damn it's amazing, definitely my favorite superhero of all time. I checked your list so you should jump on it.

Bondage Game

What I disliked:

Quality character designs
Utter Failure at Human Anatomy.
Blood could have looked better.
It got so ridiculous in the 2nd OVA that I loled. And that's always bad when it comes to porn.

What I liked:

NA

Overall was pretty fun to laugh at.

Bondage Game: Shinsou no Reijoutachi
It only has 2 episodes, so you'll have to watch it entirely.




Genocyber
Score: 1/10
This is easily one of the worst pieces of shit I've ever seen in my life. This is Mars of Destruction in 5 episodes.
The narration is appalling, the pieces just don't fall in place. The political background is pointless and discarded, the new background of the 3rd story is also pointless, nonsensical and lacking information, the continuity between the 3 stories is laughable, characters are either one-dimensional or zero-dimensional and they do stuff for no reason, dumb melodrama permeates all the episodes, the gore that was funny in the beginning becomes shit as it goes on, tons of questions are left unanswered, powers and abilities are all taken out of the ass, the starting device is all nonsensical technobabble, retarded shock effect with random scenes that don't even have a purpose to the story, the animation is awful and seems to be missing frames, the soundtrack has like what? 3 8-bit tunes?
This is awful beyond belief. I can't believe humanity was capable of degrading itself so low to the point of producing such a catastrophe of ass.

Anyway, Litrydow:

Genocyber



EDIT:


What I liked:

Good looking animation and decent sound.


What I didn't like:

It kept building up to one thing and then in the predictable ending it threw all of that away. And the way he grabbed the kid at the end of this felt silly.
It also felt a bit rushed.

What I liked:

Good atmosphere and good looking animation and music.

Good watch.

I haven't seen enough terrible shows to recommend them to you, Neane.

How about this this lovely 40 minute movie -
http://myanimelist.net/anime/10408/Hotarubi_no_Mori_e

LOL Jody. This is what would happen to RWBY if Monty Oum was 10.

The music was taken straight out of a menu screen of a 90s fantasy strategy game.
The sound effects were dreadful. The jeeps sounded like a kid tapping a radiator with a fork. And everything except their voices was so muffled, I thought there was something wrong with my speakers.
First time I've ever seen crap japanese voice acting.
Animation...if that was a youtube video, I'd say it's pretty bad.
Fight scenes were dumb as hell.
Airplane explodes > wings are perfectly intact > both of them fly towards scartits and nazi mum > THEY GRAB THEM AND FIGHT
The story was written by a 10-year-old. But I have to say, I didn't expect that epic plot twist at the end. I didn't really expect anything at that point, I was just enjoying the ride.

I lol'd multiple times, Jody. Thanks a lot.

Well Asap_ I welcome you to the Hall of Fame of bad anime, this is a 5 episode series made in 2002. Don't worry about length, each episode is only 5 minutes in and of itself.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/1102/Urda

The link to the first episode, see what you make of it from there.

@neane
I tend to reminisce about shows after I watch them so sorry for my late reply.

Oh boy where do I start?

Story 4/10, no no no 10/10

Well, this doesn't happen very often, I can't help but realise the absolute mediocrity of this movies story, but it is executed at such a mediocre level that I can't help but call it a masterpiece of bad cinema.
It's got everything from conspiracy, awesome action sequences, mnh, the not-so damzel in distress who becomes subjugated to some weird form of Stockholm Syndrome, a big macho fella who can't do anything right, the wheelchair man who wields shotguns!, and don't forget that great woman. and something about the devil thrown in, oh and best of all... VAMPIRES!! A lovey dovey one at that, but what this has say in comparison to other vampire love stories is quite inept because technically Twilight is shit and using this as a serious comparable piece of cinema to Twilight would be highly questionable.
This show encompasses some of the greatest dialogue EVER, the people who love this love to tell and not show, which can work in certain films but in this by the end of many scenes you have been so stuffed with information that all I could do was stand boogie-eyed at the screen wondering who on earth talks like that?????

sound 3/10

The sound, with the voice actors which across tje board weren't that spectacular I can say that at least I remember it, but the score, mmmhh, not so gimme more, a week after reminiscing about the series, I've completely forgotten about it, I don't know if anyone else considers this a heads up for overall quality, but it certainly defines something.

Art 6/10

Pretty good for its time, but I must say that it still pales in comparison to the only other major substantial sources that I have seen from the period and that is mostly world masterpiece theatre, which is a good comparison considering that this show clearly has influences in world masterpeice theatre, its not bad so naturally it reaches the staggering heights of basically okay.

Characters -/-

There is no possible way that I can effectively score the characters in this movie.

Enjoyment 6/10

What I liked about this movie was simply how good it managed to make bad look. Along a similar lines to say something like Inferno cop.

Jody,

Yami no Teio: Kyuuketsuki Dracula
http://myanimelist.net/anime/3801/Yami_no_Teio:_Kyuuketsuki_Dracula

EDIT:

What I liked:

I liked how well choreographed the dolls are (That's always tricky)
I liked how they were able to make characters out of the dolls by just movement
I liked the story and its messages.

What I didn't like:

The backgrounds could have been better
How the water looked when the dragon appeared.
Overall a fun short animation work that reminds me of what the Art Channel we have here in Washington State.
