6/10
The Most Controversial Violence Jack OVA.
14 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I'm sure Rape Town would probably would have not been a good title for this thing. Considering it happens a lot in it though. Hell Town's fine though.

The shocking second OVA in the adaptation of Go Nagai's rather grim series has Jack helping a group of models who live in a survivor community that is in three sections A,B,C. All of this underground. The first section is sort of civilized group of supposed normal men, but really they are just as evil as the 2nd section which is some kind of Road Warrior-esque gang that looks like they escaped from Fist of the North Star.

What comes next is a lot of disturbing stuff. But keep in mind this is suppose to be taking place during an apocalyptic earthquake that has leveled Tokyo. Grim stuff is going to happen.

And this OVA certainly is not going to shy away from even Child Murder in parts to show the grim reality of the situation.

The rape content is equally disturbing and there's even a added crop of cannibalism and necrophilia shoved in to make the OVA extra grim.

Which is of course why it was refused classification in Australia. And censored by Manga entertainment at first.

The most surprising thing about the acting of the whole thing, at least in the Japanese voice casting is the guy who played Jack in this one.

As usual the series of 3 OVAs cycled out Voice actors for Jack and this time didn't go with Tessho Genda who did it in Harem Bomber. But instead went with Kiyoshi Kobayashi. Now Kobayashi is actually more famous for playing Lupin the 3rd's famous right hand man Daisuke Jigen in Anime for years that it's kind of odd hearing his voice coming out of a ultra-brutal killer hulk of a monster like Jack.

Equally strange is the fact he would play the bad guy in the 3rd OVA not long after that.
