Reviewer: Rowena Lim Lei (5.19.2001) Synopsis:
Review: The first three skits don't really have a plot of any form. "The Affair" consists of nothing but sexual activity. The dialogue is almost 100% moans and groans. The sex is really wild as the guy ends up giving the girl an enema for the grand finale. I also found it funny that there were a lot of slurpy and squishy sounds during their romp (especially during the blow job part). "Lust in Space" really pissed me off. The characters were so busy screaming at each other that I couldn't understand the situation they were in. All I know is that there's this girl caught in a bunch of tentacles and she's about to be raped. It was impossible to follow what was happening. They kept cutting from scene to scene without any explanation whatsoever. The art was horrible to boot. "S'extra Credit" is another confusing tale. Two girls confront each other about something -- don't ask me, I couldn't get the gist of what they were talking about. Then one girl taunts the other and they end up having some hot and steamy action. Shortly after, a man comes in (I get the impression he's the professor) and joins the fun. The last short, "The Naughty Professor", has markedly more dialogue than the previous eps, but also suffers from a bad case of sucky-ness. A student named Hino ends up turning Professor Momone into a sex attraction in school, and all the horny male students take turns man-handling and f*cking her. It all just seemed sick and ridiculous. Another thing that really made Twisted Tales of Tokyo the pits is the English dubbing. The voice actors / actresses are very stiff and robotic in their delivery of the lines. All the female voices made my eardrums hurt. They were just excruciating to listen to! They also had this annoying tendency to over-act during the moaning and groaning parts. It all sounded so fake. Then there's this strange echo-ey quality to the dubbing. Ugh! This is precisely why I never recommend English-dubbed hentai anime -- it almost always sucks like hell, but in Twisted Tales of Tokyo's case it's the only version available. The art and animation are generally okay, except for "Lust in Space". Sex is depicted in a very graphical and detailed manner, and absolutely nothing is left to the imagination. The language is also very vulgar. If all you care about is minute by minute of hardcore hentai action (that's the only thing Twisted Tales of Tokyo has going), maybe this'll float your boat. But it certainly sank mine. Miscellanies: Screenshots: Shopping - click on title to purchase:
