For the Japanese, Sakigake!! Otokojuku is a Cult Classic to the degree that any Japanese Otaku has either watched/read it or at least knows about it and can quote many of its memorable lines and the Memes it spawned(for example,"Minmei Publishing" is still quoted as the source of any outrageous statement about martial arts). It is popular to the degree that its manga's spinoffs are still going strong today,32 years after it started. For Western fans though, it is unfortunately a VERY underrated and underappreciated show that a lot more people imo should checkout.
So what is Sakigake!! Otokojuku? well, the 80s was the decade of
...
MANLINESS BATTLE Manga, with series such as Fist Of the North Star and JoJo's Bizarre Adventures being smash hits with tons and tons of fans. Sakigake!! Is an extremely over the top parody of everything battle manga. In this respect the closest modern equivalent would be One Punch Man, but that is where the similarities end as the approaches of the two series to the parody are completely different.
Sakigake is a school that teaches MANLINESS. the students(mostly composed of Japan's worst delinquents)do crazy hard tasks and training all for the sake of becoming more MANLY. the Headmaster is a World War 2 hero who REALLY loves to announce who he is loudly scaring EVERYONE with the strength of his voice, which is so strong that it can destroy the speakers of a helicopter. Your Main Protagonist, Tsurugi Momotaro, is always calm and serious no matter what happens. he is the guy that you know will win despite all the overwhelming odds. he is the head of Sakigake's First year students, and is gradually accompanied by more main characters during the series (who die more than once, by methods that include falling in a pit of sulfuric acid and falling off a mountain, only to be miraculously alive after. Because GUTS.)
The First half of the Anime is 100% Comedy and parody, and it is INCREDIBLE. i haven't laughed so hard in ages at an episode, let alone continuing to laugh that hard for all the first half!
The second half is the battle arcs. however, the battles are, surprisingly enough, enjoyable both as "Shounen anime battles" and as "Parodies of shounen anime battles". they have a ton of epicness in them, yet at the same time you can clearly feel and enjoy the underlying parody. It is an impressive concoction, and a very enjoyable one. The only annoying part is that the last few battles feel rushed, including 2 major battles only being shown in a summarized fashion, yet the final episode is mostly a recap. not sure why they did that, and it is the only reason i gave the anime a 9/10 instead of a 10/10
Overall, this anime is incredible, and I recommend it to everyone and hope it gets a lot more fans than it currently has :)

i am someone who have been watching anime for years and is a huge fan, and i picked this movie not knowing anything about it, and now that i watched it i have to say that this movie is, by far, the BEST anime movie I EVER saw. its art sets a new meaning to the word "Gorgeous", its story is truly incredible with many twists and turns that I honestly didn't see coming and was shocked, yet it all fits together and is a joy to watch. the (Japanese) voice acting is superb too. my only nitpick, and it is a small nitpick, is
...
how the girl convinced her friends to help her(I wont explain so I wont spoil it),but even that has logical explanations if you think about it. I am astonished, and would recommend this movie to anyone who likes great stories and gorgeous art, whether he is an anime fan or not. try it. you most certainly wont be disappointed :)

Just watched it. it is FAR more entertaining than Mars Of Destruction. technically speaking it is worse, but mars was just a bad anime. this is a very entertaining and hilarious bad anime ;)
one thing that is clear as day is that this was intended to be multiple episodes. all the cuts make sense in that case, such as when the girl was talking to the squid at the end, it is obvious that this was intended to be a long back and forth conversation, instead of a short one where the squid just makes one weird and annoying noise. the question though is why
...
it was made into one episode instead.
one thing that would have always been bad even if it was multiple episodes though is the 3D CG. i never liked 3D CG in general, but it is particularly ugly and dreadful here.
overall, if you want to watch one bad anime for the fun and lols, make it this one. you will enjoy how bad it is :)

Corpse party was originally a PC-98 game. then it got a remake on the PC, PSP, and 3DS. I played it and fell in love with it. it has one of the BEST stories i have ever seen. its horror is psychotic not cheap, its gore is mostly auditory not visual. I don't even like horror games yet i absolutely LOVE it.
so what does the anime do? It takes this great story and throws it out the window. it takes the awesome psychotic horror and makes it cheap, and it takes the auditory gore and, not only does it fully change it to visual gore,
...
it decides that the best way to do this masterpiece of a game (in)justice is to change it so it becomes one very gory death scene after one very gory death scene from the beginning until the end. story? what is that?! psychotic horror?? what is that?!! greatness??? never heard of it!!!!
It butchered the game and turned an amazing Mindf*** true horror story into a series of gruesome scenes one after another without anytime to build tension and fear with the only point being to kill everyone in the most gore filled way possible(which is, ironically, basically what all the haters think the game is about).
Stay far far away from this. play the game instead. you will not be disappointed there and you will be very disappointed here.
