  • Fifteen years after Project A-ko, creator Katsuhiko Nishijima wishes to get back to his gag-driven roots by turning a pitch for a samurai drama into something more his speed. But can a story about wannabe Russian samurais that also have anemic ninja maidens and pantyshots actually be pulled off?

    I watched all of Agent Aika from a Latam animation channel called Locomotion, its crazy to think how much adult material they used to play there that i watched as a kid every day. Aika was always on reruns on that channel. Still remember watching Gits and Akira there when i was like 12 and it blew my mind.

    8:30 - there's an anime about the post-WWII Northern Territories/Southern Kuril handover. It's called Giovanni's Island, and is well worth a watch if you can find it.
    Also, MiG is pronounced as a word, not an acronym. Twig, pig, The Stig, etc.

      Some say that he can defeat any US fighter jet... in a MiG-15.
      Some say that his gender changes based on the country he is in.
      Some say that he is the real owner of the Kuril islands, with the squabble between Japan and Russia being mere show.
      All we know is, he's called the Stig.

    Lol I happened to come across this on DVD at a Goodwill earlier this year and had to check it out. I thought it was awful but I love seeing even stuff like this get coverage, you always do justice to even the most low brow and obscure anime out there and that's why I appreciate your work. Keep it up!

    17:30 When watching this OVA for the first time on Orbital Bacon's Saturday Night Anime recently, the moment when Kasumi throws herself onto a puddle just so her friend Natsu can step on her made me believe this was one Golden OVA treasure.
    And the rest of the OVA just lived up to that in spades as the episodes went on for the next 40 minutes.

    I definitely have watched this. Not back in the day, but rather not too long ago when I was looking for other old animes I haven't seen, and with fanservice. I know this is a release in 2000, but this still had a 90s design of it. This OVA series is rather interesting, known mainly by the late 90s-style fanservice.

I looked till I found the the name of it and found it on eBay for $10. I was so ecstatic to relive one of my childhood memories . Thank you for all your awesome work! I look forward to every video and I tend to rewatch my favorites all the time .

    Origa has to be my favourite Russian in anime, she might be best known for the Stand Alone Complex OP. Also the GitS manga had the Soviet Union as it was published in 1989. So if there's this many iterations to the "Pantyshot the Animation" thing, where is the current one, or when did it die?

    God, you have a very limited and tightly restrictive view of humor.
    You know, at least other reviewers TRY to explain that humor is actually subjective and that what's funny to other people might not be funny to you, or that what's funny to you might not be to other people.... but sitting here and actually watching you state that jokes that actually make me laugh are "absolutely not funny" as if your opinion is a fact, is extremely aggravating.
