Synopsis | |
Review | The video opens with a rather nice depiction of a rundown and under-serviced suburb of Tokyo. From a secret genetic engineering lab escapes Ganbachi, half human and half cockroach, a towering ugly hunk who is looking for a research centre with the idea of causing some trouble. He meets a polite schoolgirl who directs him to her high school. Once there, Ganbachi volunteers for a job as teacher, with the idea of knocking the out-of-control students into line. He is opposed in this worthy aim by Hinako, beautiful gang leader and wearer of the 'Velvet Pussy' panties. There is a lot of underwear flaunting in this video as the opponents attempt to embarrass each other into submission! Much thuggery, innuendo and farce ensues. I found myself rather out of sympathy with this video, which was obviously made for Japanese schoolkids, and hoping that the side of Order as represented by Ganbachi would be victorious. ULTIMATE TEACHER isn't well known in anime fandom, but the director, Toyoo Ashida, also directed "Fist of the North Star" and "Vampire Hunter D". The jokes all go on rather too long, as though made for the slow-witted, and the animation is unexceptional though again the British dubbing is good. Verdict: most likely to be enjoyed by naughty schoolkids. |
