2.0 out of 5 stars
Ummm... yeah., September 24, 2000
The box art and summary for this semi-obscure example of "Hentai" (adult's-obly) Japanese Anime promise something along the lines of a low-comedy/kinky-sex fantasy "epic," but it's only going to satisfy the least discriminating fans of the genre and those who don't mind spending close to ..... or more for a VERY short excercise in surrealistic sexy-mayhem. Set in the generic Anime medieval-fantasy world, our story follows a very un-knightly knight who is drafted by an all-female kingdom to rescue several beautiful warrior-maidens and some stolen magic crystals from the tower of the evil "Dragon Knights." As is necessary for the genre, the aforementioned maidens are all barely dressed and "imprisoned" in variations on lightweight "bondage," which prompts our hero to snap photographs of them sans-clothing with his polaroid camera (? ) before each rescue. The whole thing is, apparently, based on a popular adult-oriented computer game in Japan which, (if this film is any indication,) must be sort of a cross between Final Fantasy and Leisure Suit Larry. Yes, it's weird as can be and features lots of attentively-animated nudity, but in the end it's just an overly-breif, incredibly silly venture that really didn't do much for me.

This anime is set in a fantasy world that for the most part seems medieval-based, but with a few modern-day devices mixed in. (The hero has a poloroid camera with which he takes snap shots of every girl he rescues, and at one point he asks a girl for her phone number.) The story goes like this: a traveling knight with a libido comparable to that of Happosai, Ataru Moroboshi, or Man Maze, comes to the Strawberrie kingdom populated entierly by women, and soon learns that he must go to the castle inhabited by the Dragon Knights, (basically, inhuman monsters,) rescue several female warriors who were sent before to slay the dark lord but instead were captured, gather six jewls that will awaken a sleeping goddess, and put evil in it's place. He is accompanied by Luna, one of noble women of Strawberrie, and together they set out on the rescue mission. There's lots of action, lots of nudity, (of course,) some scens with women being tortured in an erotic way, (but no sex,) and LOADS of humor. Amoung the laughs are two lizard men who speak with lisp, the hero's own lust for the scantly clad babes, and the constant fights between our not-so-noble knight and Luna, usually over his insistance to take pictures of the captured gals and even fondle them a bit before releasing them. If you're a fan of hentai anime (hentai being japanese for,"pervert" or, in this case,"adults only"), this is a must see.
