10/100Genuinely offensive levels of badContinue on AniListThere once was a man who went by the name "Justin Sevakis". No, he wasn't some legendary MAL user, instead he was one of the big guys over at Anime News Network. Justin used to write a series of articles called "Buried Garbage", in which he would dig up some god-awful OVAs & other anime from the past such as "Dark Cat", "Angel Cop", & "Mad Bull 34". Why do I bring this up you may ask? Because buried garbage sums up this pile of schlock perfectly. Yeah, I would usually try to save calling something bad or good for the actual review, but this piece of waste is so bad, I felt the need to warn you right out of the gate. Without further stalling, lets begin.
Story:
The story (or lack-there-of). Is just fucking creepy. It's about this perverted dog who wants to fuck his own owner. Yes, I wish I was kidding about that.
Do I even need to start on just how wrong this concept is. I can't believe somebody actually had the nerve to write something like this. This OVA is a pretty standard ecchi-fanservice fair, aside from the fact that a dog has putrid fantasies about fucking his own owner.
The structuring of this series is all over-the-place, & the pacing is really bad too. The story just flip-flops between locations on a dime, one second we're at Chiko's house, the next we're at her school, now we're in the middle of town, now we're at the beach, & finally, we're at some grave-yard.
As if the story couldn't get creepy enough, later on, we're introduced to Chiko's teacher, who gets the wrong idea that Chiko might be coming onto him. Instead of doing the responsible thing & trying to explain to Chiko why they shouldn't be together, NOPE! Motherfucker full out embraces this idea & wants her to come onto him, so that he may also partake in some "Hump Hump" (god I wanna blow my brains out for saying that). So, as if a dog wanting to fuck his own owner wasn't creepy enough, now we move onto a middle-aged school teacher. Fuck-Sake.
Characters:
I really don't have much to say regarding the characters. None of them see any character development, none of them go beyond 1-dimensional (maybe Chiko does but that's such a stretch). Chiko is the high-school girl character who's a bit klutzy. Her only notable character trait is that she beats up Rin Tin Tin whenever he tries to hump her, which is really satisfying for the record.
Right on fucking que, we have Rin Tin Tin. I fucking hate Rin Tin Tin, I didn't think it was possible, but this anime made me hate a fucking dog! I love dogs for the record, but Rin Tin Tin sure isn't one of them. Rin Tin Tin's only personality trait is that he's a horny bastard. Next we have the middle aged teacher. There isn't much to say here really, he's pretty much just a middle-aged-man version of Rin Tin Tin, so he's just as hate-able.
There are some side-characters, notably Chiko's friends, & a random bloke at a coffee shop who gets the wrong idea that Chiko is going to commit suicide. These 2 don't go beyond caricatures, & are forgotten about almost immediately
Art:
I hate to say it, but the art isn't the worst thing I've ever seen, it at least looks competent compared to Dark Cat & Sword For Truth. The animation is extremely lazy however, not as lazy as Dark Cat, but lazy never-the-less. I find it fitting that this OVA never saw pass VHS. Personally, a VHS release was too much for this turd.
Sound:
The sound is absolutely atrocious. The voice acting is worse than Dark Cat, I'm not kidding. It's either over-acted, or unbelievably dull. The audio quality itself is just as, if not more atrocious than the voice acting. Rin Tin Tin sounds like he recorded his lines in a tin-can. The audio mixing itself is also terrible, it will go from loud to quiet at the drop of a hat, sometimes I can barely hear the characters, other-times my ear-drums erupt.
Final Thoughts/Overall.
So that was Kennel Tokorozawa, it's just as painful as this review makes it out to be. DO NOT! Watch this OVA. It's atrocious in every sense of the word. It's not even funny bad either like Dark Cat or Mad Bull 34. It's just, BAD. Aside from the art, there's really nothing positive for me to say here at all. So for that, my final rating is going to be a 1/10. This shit sucks, and I feel ashamed of myself for giving this the time of day. Before anyone asks me if this is worse than Sword For Truth, yes, unfortunately, yes it is.
