We see the occupying American soldiers at large in the city, including riding around in jeeps throwing gum and candy bars to the hungry kids. This sequel to BAREFOOT GEN (see #2) is set three years later (1948) and shows the continuing struggle of Gen, his mother and his adopted younger brother Ryuta to survive in the ruins of Hiroshima.

BAREFOOT GEN 2 (1986/Japan, 85 min., color, anime drama)ĭVD/in Japanese with English subs.

Keiichi and Belldandy and company never come to life.ĩ. You got to know those characters and care about them. “Tenchi Muyo” handled this kind of plot situation much, much better, with a more astute mix of high comedy and drama. This series is much more dramatic than comical. Somewhere along the line, a force comes along to pull Keiichi and Belldandy apart, causing emotional anguish to both. In these eps., more girls are pulled into Keiichi’s orbit, including Belldandy’s sisters-older, sexier Urd and younger, temperamental Skuld. Now that I’ve finally watched them, I can pull them off the shelf and move some DVDs in there. I only paid about $10 for all five tapes, used. I don’t like the series enough to upgrade. Would it have hurt to put them all on one tape? If they ever came out with a DVD containing the whole series on one disc, I wouldn't buy it. Okay, This is a five-part series, each part on a separate VHS tape from AnimEigo. MAGIC USER’S CLUB aka Maho Tsukaitai! (1996/Japan, color, magical fantasy-high school comedy anime/OAV) I prefer the original, even though I’m missing Volume 2.Ħ. Manga Entertainment later edited (butchered) the three volumes into one volume and released it in a dub-only version. Renditions, which I believe turned into ADV.

I distinctly remember the ads for it 20 years ago on the back of assorted fan magazines. This was one of the first anime releases to be distributed on VHS in the U.S. The credits on this production read like a Who’s Who of 1990s mecha anime: Koichi Ohata (Genocyber), Shoji Kawamori (Macross Plus), Masami Obari (Detonator Orgun), Hideaki Anno (Evangelion).

They were given amnesia and trained to pilot these fighting vehicles which combine into the monstrous “Dangaio,” but they retained enough of their memories to resist and rebel against the space pirates they were supposed to be working for. Classic 1980s OAV giant robot action, this time piloted by three hot babes and one dude.
