Otaku Evolution Episode 37 – Tenchi Muyo! OVA 1 (SERIOUSLY, THIS TIME)


Otaku Evolution 37 – Tenchi Muyo! OVA 1 by ellbell01

 

What do you get when you take a bland(ish) teen boy, an emotional wreck space pirate, a haughty princess, a precious little sweetheart (who may laugh at your impending doom), a ditzy officer, the Greatest Scientific Genius in the universe, a badass old man, a pervert dad, a cat-rabbit that transforms into a spaceship, and a bunch of magic computer trees?

 

Wait for me to catch my breath, here.

 

You get comedy, mystery, romance, tit shots, incest (shudder), light sabers, and a guy who looks like a spinster librarian who plays the pipe organ. In other words, you get Tenchi Muyo, the original OVA. read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 36 – The Vision of Escaflowne

IMMEDIATELY flagged for copyright violations! Thanks, Bandai, you greedy fuckers. Maybe one day Japan will have Fair Use laws, but I wouldn’t count on it, because entertainment execs there are even greedier than human tumors we have over here. The Fair Use law over here means exactly shit these days as it is. But the video is still up, so watch it.

 

Tarot card-reading high school girl Hitomi Kanzaki finds herself in a strange world of beast men, dragons, magic, swordsmen, and miracle machines that run on bullshit in this anime classic. Join me as I briefly examine The Vision of Escaflowne, a show touched by many a great number of talents. read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 33 – Megazone 23 Part I

Maybe the most 80s anime of all time, Megazone 23 has bizarre fashion styles, transforming robot motorcycles, and MTV VJs all in a hodgepodge of 80s sci-fi clusterwonder. So join me, friends, as Vic the Brick and Misato Katsuragi try their best in this world of conflict to have a McNice McDay. Guest cameo by a certain warm water penguin.

Otaku Evolution Episode 32 – Cipher

No one is to blame when you shook me all night long, because I was hungry like the wolf, but take me to Dr. Feelgood (it’s urgent) or when all is said and done, I just died in your arms tonight, time after time.

 

So yeah, this episode is about the 1980s.
