23rd G-View: Arcade Gamer Fubuki

Hello and welcome to G-Views, where SoL reigns supreme, moe is respected and Dokuro-chan sucks poopie. What do you as a male video-gamer think about when you combine the words, female and video-games together? the answer, paradise. That’s what I was expecting when I jumped into this 4 episode OVA. What did I get for pumping myself up? A BIG SMACKDOWN IN MY FACE AND JAW DROPPING SENSELESSNESS THAT MADE MY BRAIN ROT AND QUESTION THE VERY FABRIC OF JAPANESE ANIMATION, PANTY POWER AND THE SEGA CORPORATION’S DESPERATION TO PROMOTE THEIR PRODUCTS!

However, the evil Gulasic Group is out to conquer the world through said tournament, and their gaming skills will prove to be a challenge. Fubuki must team up with the legendary Mr. Mystery to combat the four Gods of Gaming and make the world of arcade gaming safe for all.

There is so much wrong with this plot and the rest of the show that it makes me ask many questions. For example:
-HOW DO PANTIES HELP YOU EXCEL AT ARCADE GAMING?!
-WHY HAVE OVERGROWN MEN GET NOSEBLEEDS AT THE SIGHT OF EXPOSED UNDERWEAR WORN BY A MINOR?
-HOW CAN YOU PLAY AN ARCADE GAME WITH 2 ANALOG STICKS (1 FOR EACH PLAYER) TO CONTROL 1 PLAYER, BUTTON MASHING WHILE USING THE FOLLOWING METHODS: PLAYING WHILE WEARING BOXING GLOVES, HANDSTAND ON TOP OF THE ANALOG STICKS, WITH A TAIL, BASHING THE CONSOLE?
-HOW CAN YOU PLAY AN MMORPG GAME, THAT ARE USUALLY PLAYED ON PCs, IN AN ARCADE MACHINE?
-WHY DOES A MASKED WRESTLER IN PINK TIGHTS KNOW HOW TO CONTACT A PRETEEN GIRL AND HAVE A SPARE SET OF PASSION PANTIES FOR HER TO USE?
-WHY WOULD YOU, AS A SECRET ORGANIZATION, ANNOUNCE YOUR SECRET PLANS IN PUBLIC DURING A MEANINGLESS INTRODUCTION?
-WHY WOULD SEGA CHOOSE THIS METHOD TO PROMOTE THEIR OLD GAMES?
-WHY DIDN’T THEY PROMOTE OBSCURE GAMES INSTEAD OF SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, PHANTASY STAR AND ALEX KIDD?
-HOW DO SUPER PANTIES AND MASTERY OF ARCADE GAMING LEAD TO WORLD DOMINATION?
-WHY DUEL ON TOP OF ARCADE MACHINES, HANDSTAND ON THE ANALOG STICKS, WHILE RIDING GEYSERS?
-WHY HAVE A MAIN ANTAGONIST WHOSE FLASHBACK AND TRUE INTENTIONS MAKE NO SENSE WHATSOEVER?!

My word, even Excel Saga and Puni Puni Poemy made more sense than this piece of garbage. You know why this hurts even more than it should? It’s because it made me feel like I was watching “The Wizard” all over again, and that movie was also crap!
Why take two of men’s greatest guilty pleasures, women and gaming, and turn it into a steaming pile of clusterpoopie?! I feel raped. I honestly feel raped by these OVAs, they’re that retarded. Oh well, there’s a bright side: At least this series isn’t “Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan”!
And you know what the most shocking part is? there’s actually a twist ending that may surprise you. I couldn’t believe it. the ending was actually unexpected.

If anyone here does intend on watching these OVAs, then do yourself a favor and set yourself into “So bad, it’s good” mode. That was my mistake. I set my aspirations too high and it cost me dearly. A portion of my sanity was lost after watching these OVAs.

This is clearly not one of Shaft’s most memorable creations and thank goodness it isn’t.
