Crying Freeman is something else, it’s one of those shows that I went in thinking that I would love to death for specific reasons and although I was wrong I still came out of it thinking, ‘I really like this’. If you’re going into this thinking that you’re going to get a cute romance between a gangster and a regular girl, you’re dead wrong. I feel like all of the romance geeks that might come to watch this will actually be quite disappointed. Although there are little sprinkles of romance in this, it’s mostly violent crime syndicate battles and sex and not every sex scene or romantic moment is with the same woman even if it’s with the same man.
What Crying Freeman does best is it’s characters, sometimes the character development is a bit rough and I’m certain it’s because it was adapting…

What kind of man is Freeman? One that rages when, before his very eyes, they kill the high members of an organization he was brainwashed by and forced into and decides to do Tai-chi immediately after.
If you take into consideration the craziness and totally absurd setting of the late 80s and early 90s and regard this piece as an absolute parody work intended to express sexual fantasies just for the sake of it, then you're gonna have a splendid time laughing just like I did :)
When the OVAs first came out, they were considered very controversial and somewhat a masterpiece. This kind of bold and crazy plot with no real sense used to be acceptable back in the days much easier than it might be today. I chose to watch this because it was very prominent back in the 90s, it even spawned several l…

I absolutely loved crying freeman, I own all six episodes on VHS that I purchased off eBay, over eight years ago, this anime has plenty of action and fighting, as well as killing to keep anyone entertained for at least five hours. I recently watched this anime a couple months ago on my firestick after not seeing it it for about two years or so. It was a nice memory refresher on how much I actually enjoyed watching it, he, or should I say freeman, puts his feelings into everything he does, his love, honor, and deep feelings into everyday life, yes, that also includes eliminating his enemies.

Crying Freeman
Crying Freeman is a messy piece of work, which includes a very bad story, mediocre art style, mediocre sound, bad character development and the only enjoyment you can have is the laughs one can have when watching the absurd story and how nonsensical it is.
Story
The story is poor on this one, the first time i have watched something so bad that i couldn't take any possitivity from it, although the beginning can be deceiving because the first ep. did things almost right, if i have to score it just for that one ep. i would give it a 7 and it would deserve that for the fact that it was good, seeing this man crying because he has to kill and can't get out of this life style and then finding love in someone that he has to kill (after having consensual sex, both virgins too) and r…

Freeman is crying. Freeman does not want to kill but binded by a brainwashing force, Freeman leaves tears every time he must assassin someone. A 29 year old virgin witnessed Freeman assassinate the yakuza. Will Freeman shoot her too? She is completely innocent. Seeing the face of Freeman, the virgin knows a killer face that will shoot even if crying and she will die a virgin, The person in charge of Freeman left an order to shoot the virgin and the yakuza still at large also want to shoot Freeman. If the yakuza shoot Freeman, then they will shoot the virgin too. Freeman at the mercy of brain control can only cry and obey orders. The virgin is to die by his hands. Crying Freeman is not a law enforcement, but a yakuza assassin story. Freeman unlike his name is not free, but wishes to be free…

What do you get when you cross Sanctuary's setting, Hellsing's brutality, miscellaneous porn, and a storyline about as deep as Bleach? Crying Freeman.
Crying Freeman is a potter that apparently seemed skilled to the Chinese mafia "108 Dragons". Through the magic of acupuncture, he becomes their ultimate assassin slave. He's programmed to do their dirty work despite how it tears up him inside and makes him cry. However, he quite evidently does have free will and he exercises it regularly. He doesn't cry out of pity for his victims; he often CHOOSES to kill people entirely on his own, then he cries simply because that's the gimmick. In the first episode, he goes from slave to leader of 108 Dragons because... uh... because. Yep, by the end of the first episode, they've already ruined everyth…
