Hanappe Bazooka...
A long time ago, when VCRs still stalked the Earth, I picked up the VHS version of Hanappe Bazooka...
As a fan of Go Nagai's work, I couldn't NOT watch Hanappe Bazooka which at its core is a fairly lighthearted romantic comedy that happens to deal with demons. There are no actual naughty bits, but, the themes expressed in Hanappe Bazooka are definitely not for the younger anime fans among us. Although some anime fans have indicated that Hanappe Bazooka is among the worst anime ever, I happen to disagree. Overall, it's not quite what you would expect, but, it's well worth tracking down. I gave Hanappe Bazooka a 3 out of 5.
According to the Anime Review...Hanappe isn't your average Japanese high school student. He doesn't study very hard; and when he's not fantasizing about girls, he spends most of his time hiding from the street gang whose favorite hobby is beating him up. All this changes one night when a pair of pan-dimensional beings step through his television set and proceed to turn Hanappe's life upside-down! The "demons" turn his house into a cross dimensional meeting ground and give Hanappe a very strange power... now his index finger is the most powerful digit on the planet, the Hanappe Bazooka!! Unfortunately, Hanappe's not very good at controlling it! Can two pseudo-demons in a flying saucer save him? The fate of the Earth may depend upon it in Go Nagai's wildest adventure yet!
When it comes right down to it, Hanappe Bazooka is pretty irredeemable. It combines fart gags, sexual perversity, and demonic creatures in a mix that just makes you want to get out the soap on a rope and start scrubbing. It isn't hentai, but it comes very close to the line... It's gross, it's disturbing, and it's perverted. I won't ever watch it again, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else watch it either.
