Though I doubt any of you misguided bastards will notice, Bounty Dog: Getsumen no Ibu is pretty good. Not that it's that intelligent or subtle that you're missing something. Not at all. It's just that you're too used to seeing this stuff, done better. But the year is 1994 and anime had yet to fully crawl out of it's depression and start booming again. Then what exactly are you missing? I'm gonna be really vague and say I can't really tell you. Just the general spookyness and mindfuckery, the reason why we're all still watching Chinese cartoons as adults. There's something about this anime, a kindof vibe created by the combination of the sci-fi setting and the possibility of supernatural elements that I don't recall feeling in any earlier thing, but is present in later anime. Ergo Proxy comes to mind. I can't really put my finger on it.
Also any naked boobs are small, which is basically a sign of the makers' confidence in the story.

Come to think of it, this ova could've been either great or horrible. There's a lot of potential in the story for awesomeness, but also for a cheap, pulpy boobs-and-gore anime.
Thankfully the boobs were small and the bloody stuff was presented the way it should be, in moderation and at the right moment so it hits you in the gut. I guess the gut feeling is why I consider this underrated.

8/10 might be a bit much. It could have been better written. I was confused in a few instances I think I shouldn't have been confused. The animation was fairly cheap and bleak compared to other ova's of the time, although there were some nice character designs and movements on the freaky girl character. Also, due to its short running time, the characters never really got fleshed out apart from the focus on the main character's backstory. But it does deserve a hell of a lot more than the 5.whatever it's getting now. Which is basically the same score as your average early 90's hentai. Come on people, show some love.

Overall, it could've done with more action in the opening scenes and maybe some more episodes to spread out the action of the latter part and flesh out the characters, but I guess it's fine the way it is.

Final judgement on Bounty Dog: Getsumen no Ibu: better than you'll think it is.
