4.0 out of 5 stars The Adventures of Kotetsu, December 5, 1999

This review is from: Adventures of Kotetsu [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Finding myself with the ever difficult decision of which video to buy, I chose the new release of 'The Adventures of Kotetsu', and I found it a great selection. Attracted by the reviews of a sword fighting plot with sexual humor and an adorable main character proved to be correct. I found this video to be highly enertaing, but a little too much nudity for my likings, though I found those scenes to be the most humorous! I recommend it to you if you love beautiful anime, detectives, and sword fights.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Bare Facts, February 23, 2000

This review is from: Adventures of Kotetsu [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Clearly most of the people who reviewed this OAV title before I had a chance to have both an X and a Y chromosome. So now I'll give this anime title a review from a lady's perspective. The story is obviously based on manga by some perverted, geek and with this being the case there is very little story presented, but plenty of time is focused on the female characters being undressed in a tasteless manner.

The first part to this tape is about an adolescent girl named Linn who runs way from her sensei's home in search of her older brother. Linn's search takes her to the city of Tokyo, specifically to the Kuon Detective Agency. While at this agency Linn meets a woman detective named Miho Kuon who decides to take Linn to her home. Little do the two know that Miho is being watched and followed by a pervert named Tetsuya Mikado. Tetsuya creates a clone of Miho who gets into the bathtub with Linn, makes advances towards her, and then tries to drown her. Linn ends up fighting the nude, Miho clone outside. Tetsuya is watching of course, and Linn ends up dropping her towel in front of him.

In the second part of the OAV, Linn and Miho decide to go to the Hot Springs. Naturally, Tetsuya just happens to be there to see Linn naked. Also an evil woman impersonating Linn decides to get in the Hot Spring nude with Tetsuya and proceeds to try and seduce him.

So if you enjoy anime that focuses on gratuitous female nudity, with a perverted male character playing the leading man, and enjoy anime that's littered with silliness than this is the movie for you.

This could be longer and with more examination of the charactors,but the drumming was superb and should have been used more in the fight scenes.
