boring.

If you've seen one tentacle-based ecchi, you've seen them all. While it's very common for blue anime to glamorize rape, this title has very little else of interest to make up for it. No plot and lackluster, highly typical animation values.

Rape scenes disguised as love scenes?!
akira62530 August 2006
I'm not exactly a fan of the "naughty tentacle" stuff that comes of of Japan, I got the videotape merely out of curiosity. It definitely was not money well spent. This series was made by Yorihisa Uchida, the guy who gave us "Guy". Like in Guy, there's plenty of non-consensual sex involving young nubile women and vile bad guys possessing no redeeming qualities whatsoever. In this video, the vile bad guys are aliens, who defile their victims with tentacle-like appendages. Thises aliens, led by Glode, lay waste scores of planets, not for conquest, not for colonization, but for the sole purpose of raping the female population. I don't know why these guys went through all that trouble, unless they're not getting any back home from the females of their species. The thing that really bothers me about the show is not merely the depictions of rape, it's that the notion I get that the people who worked on the show actually tried to make the rape scenes appear like *love* scenes for crying out loud! For example, in one scene during the first episode, Glode has his way with swords-woman Neris, and she is depicted as being aroused by the experience, as some soft piano and flute music plays on the soundtrack. Is this supposed to titillate the viewer somehow? Ick!

This video has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, save for one thing and one thing only: those squishy "naughty tentacle" sound-effects. I recorded from the video back in the mid-90's. I would later incorporate the sounds in a Doom WAD file.
