    From what I remember, during the 80s, South Korea had very strict laws prohibiting importation of Japanese entertainment given a little something called World War II, hence these knockoffs were allowed to flourish. The problem is in 2021 where every anime you’ve heard of and several dozen you haven’t are one click away on websites legal and illegal, the facade falls apart rapidly.

      A little correction from a South Korean national: actually we never have such an explicit law to prohibit it. History was a little more complicated. Japan was once the former colonialist of the whole Korean peninsula. The peninsula was divided after the independence from which North and South Korea later emerged. While North Korea still doesn't have a diplomatic relationship with Japan, the latter had it with South Korea since 1965. The two signed a treaty which detailed which industry would be exchanged, however WITHOUT MENTIONING EXPLICITLY popular mass media entertainment (anime, pop music, manga, TV show, movie, etc.). The only exception was literature, so it was widely available in official Korean translations (even BEFORE the reconciliation treaty already). It was this loophole the authorities had used to SOCIALLY prohibit the introduction of Japanese pop culture (due to Korean nationalism based on anti-colonial (hence anti-Japanese) sentiment) while people clandestinely enjoyed its pirated versions or cunningly plagiarized ones.

    The fact that South Korea had tried to create their own animation studios to compete with Japanese Anime markets and there was a huge underground Manga Market from the 70s to 90s that existed largely because of the US Military bases there which sold Japanese Manga to Koreans. One of my former coworkers said they literally would fly a C-130 loaded with a pallet of Manga once a month to the Kunsan and Osan Air Force bases. They'd charge around 3 times the cost and was a completely legal scam that happened and the DoD literally turned a blind eye to it. Funny thing is that those South Korean Manga Fans turned into animators, directors, and writers of their own version of Korean Animation and have been taken a huge chuck of the Anime market from Japan with Digital Animation for companies like Netflix and even Disney has business dealings with those same nerds.

The only positive thing was when the President of the company offered to buy me a 16 year old hooker one evening, that I could take back to Canada to marry if I wished (I kindly declined).

It was confusing and made very little sense for the unprepared people despite there was a barrage of scenes I actually remember despite watching this movie once in my childhood.
