I've seen a lot of Japanese movies (anime, as well as live action films), and the one thing that's always fascinated me about Japanese filmmaking is that anything goes; they'll put anything they can imagine into a film. Well, in this fine piece of anime, everything goes. Overfiend is what they call Hentai anime, which roughly translates to Japanese cartoon porn. And this one has the rep of being the most hard-core around.
The plot revolves around a legend that every 3000 years, the Overfiend appears, and unites the three worlds of man-beasts, demons, and humans. But the plot is irrelevant, because it simply serves as something to do between incredibly gory fights and explicit rape scenes (having watched a lot of Japanese films, I've come to the conclusion that there is no consentual sex in Japan: it's all rape). And what amazes me is that Japan, which has very strict censorship laws, puts out movies this explicit that wouldn't even see the light of day in the US.
Whether you'll like this movie or not depends on your tolerance for brutal cartoon sex and violence. The movie itself is very well drawn, and is quite flashy and exciting (and confusing) at times. Perverts will really dig the sex scenes, which might even be titilating, if they didn't all end with the woman exploding. I also enjoy that **WARNING: Spoiler Ahead!** even though the world is destroyed in the end, it didn't prevent them from turning out a number of equally gut-blowing, clothes-ripping sequels. Even if you don't like anime, you should probably see it, just so you will have seen the worst of the lot.
