I read your declaimer after watching the video. This video is too weird & disturbing. Absolutely nothing makes any sense. I'm sure it was made to scare someone :P |
| Wtf did I just watch. |
| I feel like a solid two minutes could've been cut from this um piece of "art". As with most of Mr.Tanaami's body of work I only understood a small part of what he was trying to convey, if there was anything to convey at all. |
Another masterpiece |
The dearer you hold a memory the more painful it becomes. |
| This is more of an insult to Elvis. :P Does the creator have a fetish for dicks and toilet sounds? Ugh.. |
2ego said: Well, that was gross and bad, literally the hell did I just watch? A literal masterpiece. |
2ego said: I'm watching everything from this list: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1501199 You should too, honestly Huh, I managed to discover and watch a lot of those independently. |
| I still don't get how this was related to Elvis? This guy only wanted to create a fap machine. |

| I think this should have ecchi or something for all those sex references |

| ... What on earth-? |
| Umm. Lovely. I swear watching these kind of shorts is ruining my taste in anime. Everything seems so average if it doesn't have flying phallic mushrooms. I think this was a commentary (and a rejection) of some things Tanaami considered American. There were some clever juxtapositions, like the torch of the Statue of Liberty replaced with bananas, mushrooms and some other phallic object. The bunny represented comic book heroes, and the Elvis cult was seen as a part of the same phenomenon. There was also "Mask Man" as a cartoon hero similarly leaping toward the viewer in an intrusive manner, wearing a gas mask as if he was actually just a soldier. So militarism was rejected as well. I think there was also a point about pop culture being unsubtle and intrusive since all these characters were leaping, driving or rushing toward the viewer repeatedly, in your face. The images of the masturbating woman with Elvis, Marlon Brando and other characters flashing in the background was probably about the sexual undertone of hero worship. Even when we often pretend otherwise, these celebrities are also treated as sex objects. With UFOs, Elvises and penises flying around the Empire State Building Tanaami was further elaborating on the obsession with sex which he probably sees to permeate the American culture. I don't really want to comment on whether it would be so, but I can imagine that from the viewpoint of a Japanese artist of his generation it's something to reject. It's quite a thought-provoking piece, and while the artist's method of criticism was as in your face as the things he criticized, or even more so, it was still interesting. |

| I think I got something from this, it is a criticism of American culture as a whole, the superheroes, the music, the sexualization. Possibly the director was trying to tell that american women were all consumerist sluts and that men are faggots. That said, this was clearly made in the 70s, amid the Vietnam war, the image of US in general was not pretty much the best. Now subjectively. As a piece for enjoyment, it's about as enjoyable as Aki no Puzzle or drinking a glass of orange juice mixed with toothpaste. EDIT: Ah, the same director as Aki no Puzzle, I got it now. |

| Out of all nationalistic forms of art, this one is definitely one of the weirdest I have ever seen. At least I interpret it as being radically anti-USA, because of USA's culture being different to the author's culture. The way it was presented, though, reminded me more of an angry brat's notebook notes done during a boring lesson in their middle school. Poor Elvis. He didn't deserve to be treated like this. |
