    So this lil flick, according to what fellow flixsterer Johnlindsey289 says, is the origin of the modern tentacled demon rape hentai that swells the modern market.

    A very typical anime plot of worlds colliding with the rise of an ancient power and two opposed super-powered creatu...( read more)res fighting to either help or destroy it, except all the demons and people in this are sexually explicit. No explicit homo action, but is definitely implied by what some of the characters do.

    Character design on the demons and beast people is just stunning. Plenty of realistic poon shots, so I wish there were more realistic peen shots to contrast. Most of the peen is demon dick and can literally wrap around a neck several times.

    Totally absurd and offensive to the general populace; basically, the best time you can waste on anime.

    It doesn't really make a whole lotta sense but who cares? It's sometimes gory, sometimes erotic eye candy.

    mmm, memories, still sticks in my mind. Sometimes brutal but essential anime

    Tasteless and sensationalist anime that seems to think that rape is a form of entertainment. Some of the animation is also dodgily executed and the plot makes no sense. Trashy and offensive nonsense.

    Who Doesnt like the Urotsukidoji films? Better than Akira for all those who think they understand anime!

    A deeply sick, shocking, pornographic, outrageous, and epic excursion into some of the most macabre and demented human minds put on screen. As sick and as depraved as this is, so help me god, I highly recommend it.

    Mixed feelings went through my mind when I first finished watching this influential anime... influential in the sense of promoting extreme hentai perversion and tentacled-demons rape scenes. The animation is pretty much mindblowing and the intentionally dark subject matter offers...( read more) a decent plot. Accompain these elements with an awful soundtrack that seems taken out from bad SNES videogames and amusingly forced excuses for showing several tentacled sex scenes throughout. The result is a film to be worshipped only by gore, anime and/or hentai fans. I appreciate the film's technicallity and the story has an appropriate dose of originality, but overall, Legend of the Overfiend is a bad film that pushed the limits of the animation genre back in the 80's, especially after witnessing 147 minutes of pure gory and sexual glory through the 3 uncut OVA's, credits included, hehe...

    50/100

    My prayers were answered with this movie. Just read the synopsis and believe it. Gory and violent and inadvertently my first hentai.
  • April 29, 2009
    I've heard so many things about this "ultra violent" "tentacle porn" and I'm no hurry to feed my curiosity!

    The English dubbing was really, really bad...
