I’ve been watching a bunch of weird shit lately so I figured I might as well go big or go home. I thought I if was going to watch something freaky and disgusting, I might as well finally take the plunge and check some Japanese hentai anime. I’ve heard Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend was pretty fucked up, and well… it didn’t disappoint. I’m not sure it made me a fan of hentai in general. I can’t say it was actually “good” either. What I can say is that yes, it is pretty fucked up.
Heck, I don’t claim to even know what was going on most of the time. Even though it had subtitles, the lore is so dense that it didn’t make a lick of sense half the time. People who are into this shit probably don’t need a plot, but this is how it all went down as near as I could figure it: Something something demon comes to Earth to bang chicks. Something something half demons comes to stop him. A virgin teen turns into a monster. His rival turns into another monster. They fight and after defeating him, our antihero bangs his girlfriend. In doing so, he inadvertently brings about the apocalypse. Or something like that.
Basically, all you have to know it’s mostly about monsters fighting and occasionally fucking virginal schoolgirls. In one gnarly scene a teacher turns into a tentacle monster and rapes a student. Later on, a demon dude rapes a morgue attendant and when he orgasms, he shoots light throughout her body until she explodes. Yes folks, there is truly some weird shit going on here, that’s for sure.
These highlights can’t exactly save the movie though. I guess it goes without saying that all of this is more than a tad uneven. The monster fights and superhero style battles aren’t nearly as crazy or as memorable as all the demon rape shit. And although it’s wild and crazy for a while, it eventually succumbs into overkill once the giant demon turns super huge and destroys the world.
There’s a bunch of sequels to this, including the awesomely titled Legend of the Demon Womb. I’m not exactly sure I’ll run out and watch it. Then again, stranger things have happened.
