Quotes

Laser (English dub): Took your fucking time, didn't you Ken?
Kenichi: Sorry, I came as fast I possibly could.
Laser (English dub): But their safe, doesn't matter. You wouldn't have been any use if you were here.
Kenichi: Well, you could be right. But it doesn't look like you've done so fucking great without me. Considering your only after one guy.

Alternate Versions

The release from Manga, in the US and UK, was edited to remove the more offensive scenes of rape, cannibalism, violence and so on; this is in addition to the cuts made to the film by the BBFC for its UK release. Right Stuf sub-licensed it and released it uncut under their Critical Mass label.

My own Waterloo

My 1/10 mangaupdates review for the manga but the 3 OVA's are direct adaptations: This Slum King is well documented already and Bennett The Sage did not even review the equally abhorred ova which is banned in Australia/Germany when he reviewed in for real so you know what to expect. Just look at (my) categories and know that cannibalistic futanari rape (yes that is a sentence) is a thing and not the worst part of the manga. Dick slicing and then devouring, child rape and.. are in it too with no further meaning to back them up so this is basically gore porn only. The first few volumes were published as shonen so that is just lovely, the art is meh at best, the continuity and tone make no sense, the cameo's are a disgrace and i hate these characters already so let's stop. One day a group will unleash the entire thing on the world but i had my fill a decade ago. Till then you will have to imagine the fire or RUN FOR YOUR LIFE/SANITY. Berserk reigns supreme on the other end of the spectrum and only his Dante Shinkyoku (8,5/10) and to a lesser degree Mugen Utamaro (7/10) should be read but both are also adaptations. Amon - Devilman Mokushiroku (6/10) is the only part of the Devilman(4/10) mythos i can give to other people without fearing a lawsuit btw. Fun fact: Sho Aikawa wrote the ova's for V.J. and the ones for Urotsukidōji too. He also wrote most of the first FMA anime so that puts it's misguided gecko ending in perspective doesn't it?
