butter knife scrapped pungent molds cultivated from the numerous different sections of Rasputin's long, throbbing, ripe, uncircumcised, erected and veiny...Ukraine annihilator to be a more pleasant form of entertainment or watching an episode of Trash Taste. And this atrocious rape of human decency is the one and only....High Guardian Spice.
Kakugo no Susume is Ashi Production's Requiem in D Minor. After years of slaving away their wasted youth underneath the watchful eye of their Dickensque factory overlords Goldschem- Pro Media Blasters; cranking out forgettable shit like Neglected Pablo And The Aiwha vs. Raul Ortiz and Phoenix University Graduate Doctor Chichibuyama In... The Wrongful Death Lawsuit for one penny sterling and some porridge, leaving each fifteen hour shift in a state of hollowed, existential dread from yet another day of drawing fucking whales. Until one day, after years of Media Blasters metaphorically spreading their stinky, Nikocado Avocado-tier gaping assholes against the employer abused cartooners withered faces; a bolt of creative inspirational defiance came as Hirano Toshiki sluggishly walked the cold, concrete streets of Suginami when he held up his usually shoe-affixed gaze to be graced with a holy sight. A single volume of Manga took residence through the glass protected display of the local bookstore, Kakugo No Susume.
Spending his entire year's pay, Toshiki spent the entire night in his apartment complex reading the tome of knowlege. His once stoic expression blossomed into that of child-like joy; the first time happiness was ever introduced to his frail face muscles. He looked up from the finished magnum opus that laid on his crossed legs and into the great white moon through the foggy Tokyo sky. The birth of the new Ashi Production begun...
Kakugo No Susume is a highlight from the Golden Age of exploitive OVAs of the 80s' and 90s'. An era where companies like D.A.S.T. (Angel Cop, Violence Jack, Battle Royal High School), Arms (A Kite), and Magic Bus (Kizuoibito) were more interested in going the Dario Argento Italian Horror Faces of Death Grindhouse Straight to Video route regarding animation. Where story and character take a back seat towards how many times can we grotesquely rape, maim, and torture 2D pictures in creative and disgusting ways; and Kakugo No Susume is the peak of this mindset. The villians are these large, grotesque creatures that range from a the 1996 winner in a small town's annual Mama Cass lookalike contest LARPing as Divine to the love child of a rapey Albinauric and Master Roshi who's dick resembles the Dream Demons from A Final Nightmare. Within the first episode a girl is palm crushed like the butt of a Camel Crush, where a torrent of vomit, blood, and entrails spew out of every single orifice. A boy, tied to a bed, does his best Hisashi Ouchi impression after a passionate post-sex kiss. Another scene later on features a team building excercise of the sex variety ending prematurely when Vagina Nietzsche is the group coordinator. Kakugo No Susume knows that if she's got the Tongass between her legs, prepare to only see your kids on the weekend. Even after the destruction of 80% of mankind and the collapse of society its good to know that Japan still values the importance of the public education system, the benefits of water aerobics with your coaches, William Shatner and Robert Wagner and the dangers of individuality by still somehow being able to supply school uniforms. Despite the influx of grotesque monsters that Hajime Isayama must have "took inspiration from" when designing the antagonists of your Sonic obsessed, goggle-wearing Spectrum nephew's favorite show.
The italian dub voice actress for Hiroko looks like Wall Mila Kunis
The main character Kakugo is a stoic, but very relatable character to us 6'2, tobacco-smoking, Miller Time is 8:00 AM All The Time men. The type of man who falls for the trad Christian wife who gives your school desk a good wipe before you show up and knows how to cook a good steak, Tsumiko is pure and loyal...she'll never have to feel the full force of the Ike Turner Full Throttle that took me years to hone on Blak & Blu Ave....right next to the Battered Women Shelter (no correlation; just coincidence). Many of us have felt the existential irritance of pouring our cereal before realizing we have no milk. The only time Kakugo could relate to that pain of a weaker man was when he was met with the sight of his father getting Morrow'd by his own sister, Aladdin Sane; that Queen Bitch better watch that man, Kakugo. Fear him as she fears the use of any Gillette product.
The art is atrocious; like, holy fucking shit. Usually these old-school OVAs have some pretty fantastic art, especially when it comes to the gore aspects but..holy fucking shit. The characters are constantly off-model and anatomically incorrect its not even fucking funny; its on par with that eight second clip of InuYasha on that one skit of Robot Chicken. And there's no place more apparent of this awful animation then that of the eyes. The girl in Middle School who wore the cat ears and played clarinet in band with the damaged copy of Fruits Basket Vol. 1 and who constantly checked out the How to Draw Anime guide could draw better than this. The dub for this is a master class in bad dubbing, its as if they got the voice talent from every single notoriously bad voice acted Playstation 1 game, dragged them all to Chelmno and instead of gas decided to set up a sound booth, gave them the script, and told them to work.
This isn't a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination. If you're someone who views Demon Slayer as a masterpiece you're not going to enjoy what this has to offer. Mainly because you refuse to watch anything past 2015 and isn't on Crunchyroll. But if you enjoy schlock and the exploitative anime of old and the only thing that brings any form of happiness to your jaded existence is the mutilation of smaller life forms by bigger life forms then go for it.
