None yet, but I fully intend to get Cosplay Complex and Kekko Kamen.
(I already have the pre-classic releases of Dai-Guard, Ninja Resurrection and half of Burn Up Excess if that counts) |

Sorcerer Hunters is my only classic so far, but I'll probably get Cosplay Complex later in the year, and Kekko Kamen of course.

I got Burn Up Excess, mainly to save a bit of shelf space  like the BBFC tag-free reversable cover

Glad people are liking them and looking forward to the sexier ones coming up... I'm calling them in retail the One Night Stands series, since they're one-offs

I have none up to now but will be getting Kekko, obviously.
The original VHS dub was brilliant so I'm a bit apprehensive as how good the new one will be. |

I was going to get sorcerer Hunters, but that 18 certificate's got me worried. what's that all about? I dont remember the manga being that naughty.
PS - read the review, okay maybe all the groping and the nudity have merited it. LOL

The original dub has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
The musclebound gym instructor in episode 2 was done as Arnie Schwarzanegger and the samurai cameraman in episode 4 was done as Sean Connery from his Highlander role.
The acting was awful, deliberately camped up and over the top, but worked perfectly for what is a ridiculous but also hilarious anime.
Kekko Kamen is probably the ultimate 'marmite' anime. You either love it or hate it. The subject matter ensures that some will never see the funny side as it is very close to the edge of what is acceptable. Getting past the BBFC with no cuts in the current media climate is surprising if welcome. |
