Super-deformed Double Feature4xvhssub,copy
superdeformedParody is beloved the world over, but the Japanese take it a step further. Rather than
wait for others to parody them, the creators of some of Japan's finest Anime go right
ahead and do it themselves, using an exaggerated, "Super Deformed" style. Prepare
yourself for an assault on your funny bone as Artmic, the creators of Bubblegum Crisis,
Gall Force, and Genesis Survivor Gaiarth heap up a double-dose of dementia. In 1O Little
Gall Force, they take you onto the set of the Gall Force movie, as the animated characters
flub their lines, the special effects guys screw up, and the director pops blood vessels.
Then in Scramble Wars, characters from all the famous Artmic series join together for a
twisted takeoff of the Whacky Races. Also includes live-action interviews with the creators
and voice actors, as well as special "making of the songs" segments.
WARNING: Contains ridiculous nudity, silly violence, and VERY bad puns.
Commentary
I enjoyed this title a lot. It was just a lot of fun. I used to have the subtitled VHS version. Sadly, at this point, it looks like AnimEigo probably won't be releasing this on DVD. It's an older title and even when it was new, the clerk on the other side of the counter looked at me with a mix of curiosity and confusion when he read the title on the tape I was about to pay good money to have. I took the time to transfer my VHS version to DVD.
