Condom Battler Gorou: Revive
コンドームバトラー ゴロー Revive
Synopsis
Dark, realistic sequel to Condom Battler Gorou explores adult regrets and safe-sex themes in two-minute shorts.
Set five years and six months after Condom Battler Gorou and has a much more somber and realistic style. Although the shorts are presented in digest form, they are drawn from a hypothetical 5-6 hour long classic anime that doesn't actually exist. The new series comments on the legacy of the old-school Condom Battler Goro, as the protagonist struggles with the realities of adulthood and the feeling of being a "has-been." The series is split into two one-minute parts: The first has the theme "It's wrong to think that it's embarrassing to wear a condom." Meanwhile, the theme of the second part is "It's a big problem to not be able to say 'Wear a condom.'" (Source: ANN)
