I don't often post movie reviews, but I had to make an exception for Urotsukidouji. I followed my dream of a few days ago and rented it at Scarecrow on the recommendation of mamishka, who said it's among the most hen of hentai. It was more than enough for me. Much splatter. Much, uh, non-consensual sex. Many tentacles per minute. All the usual anime cliches were there: young love, two gaint monsters slugging it out, supernatural creatures, and plot as a wafer-thin substrate for over-the-top visuals, but all in the service of something kinda nasty. I can only conclude that while Japan might not have more than its fair share of sick minds, it does have more than its fair share of sick minds that know how to draw. Her Nibs asked me why I watched the whole thing, and I could only answer, "Morbid fascination."

Or *all five* of the Overfiend stories?

Did you get the Nazi girl-rape-machine-to-summon-demons sequence?

I only saw the first. I think I'll stop now.

oh, you missed the best parts. ;)

Well, if you ever get the hankering to see the whole nine yards, I have it on DVD. Uncut. Unfuzzed. Sometimes I'm proud I own this. Sometimes I am very very sorry.

It's on my bookshelf of things that get covered every time my Mother comes to visit. She only suspects I *might* go to hell. She doesn't need to know I *am*.
