Countdown Continued
 
 

Reviewer: Rowena Lim Lei (5.5.2001)

Synopsis:
And yet another pair of short and sexually-charged episodes:

  • "Virgin Road " - Akemi and Kunihiko (yes, Chizuru's stepson from the first Countdown's "Alimony Hunter") are getting married. But a mysterious womans drops by right before the ceremony and causes quite a sensation with the couple -- especially with the bride.
  • "Famous Trick History Hooligan Boy" - A horny teenage boy genius uses a giant mechanized cat to kidnap lovely young ladies so he can have his way with them...

Review:
Countdown Continued brings you two more raunchy tales to tickle your fancy. "Virgin Road" features some of the previous installation's "Alimony Hunter" characters - namely Kunihiko and Countdown's resident she-male Ms. Jun. Chizuru also makes a cameo appearance. "Virgin Road" is obviously set some years after "Alimony Hunter" as Kunihiko, Ms. Jun, and Chizuru all look markedly older. Ms. Jun shows up minutes before Akemi and Kunihiko's wedding and proceeds to give Akemi a dose of pre-marital stimulation. It is not explained as to what Akemi and Ms. Jun's previous relationship is but Akemi keeps addressing Ms. Jun as "sensei". Anyhow, you don't need to have watched "Alimony Hunter" to appreciate "Virgin Road". I wouldn't call "Virgin Road" a story, it's more of a disturbing commentary on lust. Its implications are deeper than it lets on.

The second episode, "Famous Trick History Hooligan Boy" (phew! I'll stick with "FTHHB" next time), is a comical narrative about some very horny people. The heroine (whose name I can't remember) is involved with a pretty girl named Kaede (yes, they are in a lesbian relationship). But Kaede gets kidnapped by a boy genius. As our heroine tries to rescue her lady love, she gets herself captured too. As a result, they (Kaede, the heroine, and the genius) make up a happy and horny threesome. Oh there are a lot of other funny stuff that happen in between, but I won't elaborate on those anymore. The humor borders on the slapstick side, but since I'm not a fan of slapstick comedy, I can't really say that "FTHHB" made me laugh. Still, it's not such a bad skit and it's still way, way better than the likes of "Battle Team Lakers Ex" or "Erotic Torture Chamber".

The art and animation for both episodes are good, as is the case with the first Countdown. The sexual acts are portrayed clearly but not really given too much detail. Countdown Continued is a worthy follow-up but overall, I enjoyed the first Countdown more.

Miscellanies:
