what I just saw XD. did it have a plot? I didn't consider it as a rating, but still, damn. the whole thing was so strange and a bit cliché. the only thing I liked about it and why I chose it was the year of the viewing, I wanted to watch something old and I really like the 4:3 format and I miss it. otherwise the artwork was cool, but the animation from the Toei studio was really weak. one of the OSTs reminded me of a song (MC Erik & Barbara - Sen) and I really liked the ED, but otherwise it's weak as a whole. only at your own risk, I can't guarantee that you'll like it.

I set out on a quest to watch some of the worst-rated anime on this site to find if they're so bad they're good, a misunderstood masterpiece, so bad it's bad, or an absolute dumpster fire. For this first entry, I'm for this saga is Psychic Wars. My Brothas and Sistas in Christ this is probably one of the worst and most boring anime I have seen to date!!! For the first 4 mins I was like "This could be good.", but after the one doctor got attacked by a chest-burster face hugger vigina lookin' ass thing, It quickly derails and kills everyone aboard the train, and the people waiting at the train depot. Two things that I can say are positive about this shit-show is that the OST is pretty good, Not gonna lie it was spooky yet groovy and the girl the homie was with was kinda cute and had some cak…

Wagwan! Alexandre desu.
It has everything an anime can have. Explosions, time travel, naked women, an unknown superpower, goblins or orcs, explosions again..
In a span of 5 minutes the main character goes from getting fooled by the smell of a dear, think it is an unknown beast, to get teleported 5000 years to the past in a psychedelic voyage, after thinking his girl got kidnapped, just to fight a horde of orcs without a reason.
I understand why people hate this movie. The story doesn't go from A to B, you don't have an idea what will happen next, and then you lose the though process on what happen before.. I mean, I had to go back several times to understand what did the MC get to that point. I really think the biggest problem is the lack of context and lore involved in the creation of…

In this story(?) an uncannily-handsome surgeon becomes shinto superman and punches his way through incomprehensible editing, unintentionally hilarious writing and awful sound mixing, among other challenges. Oh, and demons who "eat women for food". Unfortunately, he does not become the demons, like in the famous piece of fan literature, but the final plot twist is nearly as funny as that.
Honestly, I just found this OVA on MAL, near the very end of the all-time ranking and decided it would be a good thing to watch with my GF for the laughs. And what a wonderful choice it was – the bizarre shortcuts in animation, nonsensical story setup and stilted dialogue already made it pretty funny, but it's everything around the fight scenes that made my stomach hurt from laughing out loud. The anime i…

To all of you 80s/90s OVA fans!! You always heard that you had to sift through some shit in order to find the glorious OVAs from 80s90s right? Well, this OVA is one of that shit that you have to put aside in your journey to explore some great wacky anime from that era.
The story is dull, animation is boring, scenes with mutilation and blood look like they were drawn and painted in MS Paint (from 90s Windows??). I had to write this review to warn the prospective explorers of 80s/90s OVA, that this is not what you seek. It is shit.

So, here's how I imagine Toei decided to make this: (Warning: plot synopsis ahead)
Employee 1: "Sir, is there a need to call a reunion-"
Director: "Yes, there is! I had the best idea of my life!"
Employee 2: "And you needed to get drunk at 3 a.m. for that?"
Director: "I mean, there were other reason for that... But nonetheless! I have created our company's Magnum Opus!" Emp 1: "Ok sure, go ahead."
Director: "So, people are loving Dragon Ball Z right?"
Emp 2: "Uhm, yes? Why is that even a question?"
Director: "Wrong! Medics are hating it, so we're gonna make an anime for them with superpowers!"
Emp 1: "We can only afford making an OVA sir"
Director: "So be it, people will witness my genius either way"
Emp 2: "But you aren't saying what your idea was, sir"
Director: "Let's make an…

I really wanted to love Psychic Wars, I really did. I mean, this is a story where the main character turns into a super sayan to punch cancer IN THE FACE! And the MC is visually a weird mix between Clark Kent/Kenshiro and Ash from Evil Dead!
That's my kind of so bad it's good show! But sadly, Psychic Wars is too broken to be really enjoyable...
Now, I've seen my share of crap shows/movies, but outside of maybe Turkish Star Wars, I've rarely seen a story so badly told. Imagine this: for 15 seconds you see the MC talking with a friend, followed by 10 seconds of the MC talking in the street with his girlfriend where he explained that he needs to do his mission alone, then another 20 seconds of the talk with his friend, then 5 seconds of flashback to a previous battle, followed by a scene whe…

Famously known as one of the worst anime shows of ALL TIME!
For the first several minutes, I was like, this isn't SO bad. I mean, it's along the same level of quality as most of the sub-par OVAs in the eighties or early nineties, but nothing to write home about.
But then, Doctor Rambo comes along and punches a giant flying tumor with his fist. And I'm like hot damn, we're in for a wild ride!
Yeah, Psychic Wars is bad -- to the point that it falls within that coveted "Terribad" territory. Meaning, it is so awful in so many ways, that it transcends its awfulness and actually becomes entertaining, as you continue to watch just to see how bad it is (i.e. the 'MST3K Effect'). It's awful across-the-board, starting from the very concept itself, into the clunky storytelling, the stiff acting…

Let me start of by saying what a ride, Psychic Wars is the story of a young Doctor (About 46 or something) named Ukyo who gains "Super Sayian" like powers.
Now allow me to jump into the deeper parts of the plot as I deconstruct some of the symbolism that is in the movie.
-If you have been paying attention you would have noticed that I said Ukyo gained "Super Sayian" like powers however this isn't really true most of what happens in this movie is a dream however we don't need to dive into that plot point now.
To explain why his Ukyos powers aren't real we need to look at the movies second lead Fiyuko.
-Now Fiyuko in the dream is portrayed as a beautiful women whom Ukyo would like to "fuck" however with that said towards the end of the movie she takes on the form of the Demon Queen causi…

Have you ever witnessed a man punching cancer in the face? Me neither, until I watched Psychic Wars.
The above may sound like a scene mistakenly taken out of context, but do not be fooled: this is an anime that takes itself very seriously. It is an anime so atrociously bad on every level that solitary confinement may be considered a more pleasurable experience. Perhaps if I were not some kind of passive-aggressive masochist who finds amusement in dreadful anime, I would have attempted to hang myself in order to free my mind from this abomination. Welcome to Toei Animation's brilliant chef-d'oeuvre: Psychic Wars.
Writing a proper synopsis for this anime is about as difficult as writing a master's thesis, seeing as absolutely nothing in the story makes sense to begin with. It's after the…

Goddamn. I never thought I'd ever type the following sentence:
"This Movie is Worse than 'MD Geist II: The Death Force' "
A vacuous cast of cookie-cutter nobodies sleepwalk through a tissue-thin scrap of "plot". The animation wouldn't pass muster in an early 80s saturday morning cartoon. The dialogue is so dumb even Ed Wood, Jr. would've sent it back for a re-write. ...and the "big twist ending"....ye gods!
Even a brain-damaged chimp on Quaaludes could've guessed correctly who the shadowy "Queen of the Demons" was. Especially considering the movie only has three characters:
1) The Bland Marty Stu of a Hero.
2) His Bland Nobody of a Love Interest.
3) An Army of Orcs.
Gee, take 3 guesses who the secret "Queen of the Demons" is.
In the hands of a competent....anybody....the barely there…

Why was this ever made? Horrible story that is followed by a stupid lead character with no reason to exist. My God what were they thinking? Where was quality control when this idea was presented? If you like anime that is bad in every facet, this is for you. Cheesy eng dub that wasn't even funny. I think it was supposed to be like Vampire Wars, but that one at least was cool for 25 out of 50 minutes. I could only stomach about 10 minutes before I skimmed thru till end. I never found a good part to at least say "Well that was cool". Nothing. I cannot recommend this unless you seen every other anime in existence.

This was a surprising triumph over any desires for success or entertainment. The dialogue was stiff, the scene transitions were clumsy, the story was inane, the drama was laughable and the fights were silly at best.
I really wish I had more to say but it really was just that bad. The animation was maybe slightly above what you would see on Voltron, and yet, probably the best thing about this movie. Creating something this bad requires a dedicated team of sadists and misanthropists.
