March 26th, 1997. The day anime changed forever
Not just anime, the very nature of society itself. Truly this was a work that changed the world.
Often overlooked compared with Agent Aika that came out the same year, it was truly a great achievement. Nothing really has come close since. I want a BD remaster.
God, I fapped to this so much in the early 2000s as kid with a giantess fetish going through puberty.
Burn-Up Excess also came out that year
Wonder why.
There honestly aren't enough enitrely jungle-themed anime. Chocolate Panic Picture Show, Haré+Guu, that one TV mecha series with the girls in Body Paint which the Studio lied about it in the Key Visual that I can't remember the name of right now, the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers Kikoutei Densetsu OVA. Anything else?
Neo Ranga? That was never jungle style even in the trailers. It was more Island style.
That's it, thank you. Maybe primitivism would have been a better adjective?
Even that's pretty vague.
I'd give anything for more episodes of Jungle de Ikou
Man the best part of the OVA era was how much stuff was made but the other side of the twin edge was that a lot of it only got a handful of episodes or served to act as a pilot.
That bungie jump scene was among my earliest anime boners
I feel you can make a lot of stories out of this short OVA
Wow I didn't know it had gotten a BD release recently until after this thread was made. Obviously, still based on only an upscaled SD Master but they used the R2J source so still a bump in image quality over the old Media Blasters DVDs.
Upscaled DVD screenshot for comparison. Finally no burnt-in ED subs.
There's a lot of episodic antics a mischievous jungle god or two could get up too. Them interacting with modern day Tokyo basically writes itself and then if you want you can explore the mythology. Get one or two cours out of that easy.
Really makes me wonder all of the things the goddesses can do with their powers.
Was it influential? Because it doesn't seem to be so popular
