Movie 1: Aside from Happosai on a panty raid in the introductory sequence,
which can be safely skipped, this movie is almost totally clean.
You know one spongebob had them go on a panty raid... I still think theres some hidden stuff in sponge. But from what you've said it sounds pretty clean.

It's just that Happosai is typically over the top, even in this (for him, innocuous) sequence. Fortunately, it's of hardly any consequence to the remainder of the film.

Thanks again for your fantastic review, Shoo. :) I've seen the third OAV and loved that one. I couldn't stop laughing when Kuno was flying all over with that thing on his head. :lol: Is that a spoiler? Ah well, it made me cry I was laughing so hard. Thanks again.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Nah, I spoiled it already above :) (psst ... it's the third movie, but the ninth OAV ;) ).

Well, I now have the last major OAV -- my copy of Nettoo Utagessen (Hot Song Contest) on DVD arrived. It's region 2 ... but not anymore ;)

I'm thinking of trying my hand at fansubbing it, although it will have to be hard-subbed (not soft-subbed) since I don't have Apple DVD Studio or a big-name authoring package that supports subtitles. I'll just take off the MPEG-2 stream and hard subtitle it right on the video stream, and burn that separately. Fortunately, my CD of the OAV arrived too, so I have all the lyrics now -- I just need to figure out the dialogue. :sweat:

Having watched it, I can see why Viz declined to license this (even though it's hilarious, particularly Love Letter to China) -- it's all music, and it would have been obscenely difficult to translate and do right (translating the few OAV title tunes they did in the OAV box set alone must have been a tremendous effort).

*tips hat to Rev Doc* ありがとござします for getting me started on this! :thumb:
