This Review is part of an Animetion UK
experiment, wherein we will watch some older anime titles whilst completely
blasted on a variety of alcoholic beverages. The results may be
understandably incoherent...
Current Alcohol Level: 9 Cans of
Carlsberg (440ml) & 1 'Ronin' Cocktail (Saké, Vodka & Lemon Juice), Jack Daniels & ginger,
2 Sex on the Beach Cocktails
Brace yourself. Braced? Ok.
This isn't actually isn't that bad! Compared to Idol Of Darkness
this is Oscarworthy!
The plot is basically that a spaceshipful of women come across a ship with 'metarogria'
- an EVIL GHREEN SUBSTANCE!!! that causes it's victims to shag other other
victims heavily and then kill them! Why? Well I don't know but it
makes for a good film!!!
Opening with some actually quite good animation and the standard sci-fi
investigation of another ship, AOD introduces it's characters
surprisingly well by introducing the standard cliches of butch, leader, naive
and cute along with Ritsuko lookalikes with an action ferret!!!! Couple
that with the fact that practically all of the crew are LESBIANS !!! and you
have the makings of a classic anime.
Yep, lesbians. Lesbians. They pretty much make this film with
lesbianism they do. Lesbians they are. Lesbians. Sci-fi lesbians at
that. Sci-fi lesbians with ferrets? Do you dare argue with this??
I thought not !
So back to the film? Well it is enjoyable drunk and enjoyable sober (I
think) so you should like it!! Don't you? I admit it's an anime
rip-off of ALIEN (see Ric's review)
but it's still ok?!"!! Watch while hammered *+&Y enjoy !!!!
Best Bit:
LESBIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst bit: predictable as HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!! (but in a good way -
really) !
