Do It!! Yasuji's Pornorama

About This Movie

So, 'Do It!! Yasuji's Pornorama' feels like a wild dive into the bizarre corners of 70s anime, doesn't it? The animation style is rough yet expressive, matching the outrageous humor of Yasuji Tanioka's manga. Each chapter—Private Life, Experience, and Vertigo—offers a different flavor of absurdity, woven together with a thread of social commentary that’s just as irreverent as it is dark. The pacing is all over the place, which somehow adds to its charm, as it oscillates between laugh-out-loud moments and a disquieting atmosphere. You can sense the underlying tension, especially given the controversial nod to Yukio Mishima's suicide. It’s definitely a conversation starter, not just a film to watch.

This film is a rather elusive gem for collectors, often slipping under the radar. Its original release was met with a mix of intrigue and outrage, making it a quirky addition to any animation collection. Various formats have emerged over the years, but finding a good condition copy can be tricky. Its scarcity and the provocative themes ensure it garners interest, especially among those who appreciate obscure anime and the socio-political undertones of its era.
