Urotsuki (2002)
Beyond good and evil
Being celebrated as best sex fantasy epic of its kind (yeah, I really said that), I was intrigued. Haven't seen original, this direct-to-video title is commented upon on its own merits.
From start. There's story. Good one. Legend says, that near future omnipotent god (aka Chojin) will be reborn and link three existing realms - our human, of demons and of beasts into one. Yes, another story about adolescent man with secret powers will take place here. What makes this one different (aside from sex obviously) is that characters have some depth. Clashing between otherworld powers also helps, not to mention a nice twist about true identity and purpose of the god.
I was little disappointed with visuals though. This was supposed to be remake, but aside from digital effects. it's on par with run of the mill Saturday morning cartoon. Character design and at least sex scenes are done nicely though.
Content is where Urotsukidoji really shines. Throw all your morals out of window, it'd be obstruction here. Girls get raped, cities burned down and about everyone else vaporized by plasma-sperm. Everything in over-the-top rampage. Sex is somewhat important to plot. The act itself is by the way the very thing, that will awoke God.
I haven't seen anything like this.
