Here Is Greenwood...
In the not so early days on the U.S. anime industry, Software Sculptors released the VHS version of Here Is Greenwood...
Here Is Greenwood is strange, but, worth a peek. My favorite episode is Nagisa Hyper-Rhapsody. I used to have all three subtitled VHS volumes. I liked the series enough, that I repurchased it on DVD. There are no naughty bits or gore to speak of. Here Is Greenwood is more of a slice-of-life drama with comedic undertones. I gave Here Is Greenwood a 3 out of 5. If you look carefully at the cover art, you'll see the NOT MAINSTREAM mark in the lower-right corner of the box.
