It was just over ten years ago that the OFLC began
popping veins over a set of Japanese cartoons containing
extreme violent monster sex. Stimulated by the second
coming of the British video nasty and the James
Bulger case, RC & X classifications were tossed
around, and I do mean tossed around. Interestingly,
the main offender, Legend Of The Overfiend, which presents multiple brutal rape scenes, does
more than echo Evil Dead, in fact
it takes the notorious molesting tree scene to ludicrous
extremes. You might've passed on hardcore
anime but it shouldn't be hard to turn on
the Japanese cartoons of your minds childhood TV. I Love You has no aspects of horror
but plays like some lurid subtext of Space
Ace or Marine Boy, except
it's got graphic insertion shots that come in spurts,
in between a tale of love, lust and cloning.
Presented in two half hour episodes I
Love You hooks us up with Jun who wants
more than friends with benefits. "Fuck
me deep inside", is one of the first
lines of dialogue and away we go. He's soon
involved with three sisters but does he really
want the blind one? It all ends in tears and nipple
licking with the juiciest sex scene sounds that
you're likely to hear, and one close up
cum shot.
Part two is similarly paced but with serious
sci-fi undertones. |
| Video |
| I Love You is visually ordinary
at best and that's not even considering some
suss use of colour. |
| Audio |
| As previously mentioned the stereo re-production
of sex sounds in I Love You is
sensational. It's so good it's hard
to believe it was purposely created (by Tasha Burger
& Laura Palmer amongst other funny anglo-psuedonyms)
for I Love You. |
| Extra Features |
| Trailers for itself and fellow X-rated anime
titles Girl Next Door, Campus, Maiking and the recently released Endless Serenade. A slideshow
and outtakes. |
| The Verdict |
| Coming in just the right size doses the two bits
of I Love You, presumably now a
series, deliver the goods that would otherwise cop
an X-rating if they weren't cartoons. All
trash enthusiasts should devote time to viewing
large eye characters with dots for other facial
features humping each other silly. |
