Hooligan · review
I've probably watched more than fifty 90s-hentai OVAs now, and I have to say, this is the most unhinged and batshit crazy one (so far). Also, it might be the most comedy-oriented one. Still, 40% of it consists of sex scenes, which somehow manage to be funny most of the time. There are countless references to Japanese culture, old anime, jokes and puns. You probably won't get most of them unless you are from Japan or just a hardcore otaku. This is obviously seldom pleasant, but personally, I still appreciate media specifically made for the JDM. This OVA was based on a H-PC-game, like many othersfrom this era, which makes it even more Japanese-y.
AND the ending theme is surprisingly good; very high quality for a hentai game. I wonder how the producers managed to convince the singer, who apparently is quite popular for his tokusatsu songs. Can this get even more Japanese?
Anyway, you know how it goes, the story is just whatever. Art is very representative of its era (2000-02), which is the beginning of computer-based graphics as opposed to the hand drawn art of the 90s. Sometimes the characters look deformed or "glitchy", which is a trait that you'll see on many low-budget titles of that period. I have to admit that it has a certain charm to it.
Overall, an incredibly unique H-comedy, in all of its aspects. Not particularly good, but unique nonetheless.
Before you watch it, I must warn you that the last 10~ minutes of the 2nd chapter don't have any subtitles; at the moment of writing this, I couldn't find any other English subs available. There are complete Spanish subtitles, though.
