Editorial Reviews

Often sexy soemtimes profane-but always provocative-Vermilion Pleasure Night is a variety show that stands out even by the offbeat standards of Japanese late night television. Directed by Yoshimasa Ishibashi the internationally acclaimed artist whose installations have greaced New York's MOMA and Lond's Tate Gallery Vermilion Pleasure Night is a melange of strange and sometimes disturbing vignettes that holds up a cracked mirror to contemporary culture. Required viewing for the Japanophile the sollege studen and teh urban hipster!System Requirements:Running Time 100 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Rating: NR UPC: 702727149023 Manufacturer No: DVP/001

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! SNL mixed with Modern Art!, June 19, 2006

You have to give a loud applaud to this series! Truely a work of art but highly entertaining and funny. Best way to describe it is like a Japanese take on SNL mixed with modern art! Sometimes very funny, but some skits a tad bit strange. If you love "The Fuccons", also released by ADV films, they also have new shorts that are only shown here on Vermillion Pleasure Night. Highlights inculde some fun claymation, an assassian chick, with another assassian living inside her (who then attacks by opening zippers on the first girls body and reaching her weapons out) and some shorts skits that are a mix of Monty Python meets the Blue Man Group. Basically I would recommend it to anyone to atleast watch once to see if they like it.

I love this DVD -- Some parts are still in Japanese w/ English Subtitles, even when you select English. The best part is to see The Fuccon, but it's subtitle, so it loses some of the effect if they spoke English. It takes awhile to get the Japanese viewpoint, but this is a great dvd to watch if you are having a party. Your friends will love the One Point English Lesson part of the show. I can't wait for Volume 2 to come out.

If you are a fan of random humor and the kind of colors that are meant to be viewed while inibriated, you will love this. It's not quite as erotic as the name implies, but it's fun to watch. Once or twice.
