I swear to god I’ll put an image here the minute photobucket stops being a total DOUCHE.

“Wow, 80s anime REALLY looked like crap”
“iie,iie, I’m telling you, it’s DB’s streams…”

(^ joke that won’t be funny until photobucket stops being a total DOUCHE)

Hikaruon is an OVA from the 80s that I’m surprised I found as easily as I did. It’s a transforming hero thing in the vein of The SoulTaker or Guyver. The plot can be summarized as badass kid goes to new school, beats up some bullies to save a girl, investigates suicides with his right-hand woman who is posing as a teacher, locates trans-dimentional monsters who are (somehow) causing suicides, and ends things with a final awesome fight. Throw in brief nipple, manly dialog, offscreen gang-rape, and JUSTICE BURAIDO, and we’ve got some short, great fun.

And that’s about it. You’ll either like it a lot or wonder why the hell you bothered. If any of the above made you say ‘nice’ then it’s a must watch, if not, don’t bother. I liked it, nothing was too obtrusive (though I’ve never been a fan of rape) and there were some great moments, especially in the trippy other dimension, plus the directing was all-around cool. The super-suit was definitely one of the cheesiest I’ve seen with the fucking blinking lights on it but it had some awesome attacks. My favorite line from the show was when the hero rescues a girl from being bullied and says “you were harassing a woman. If I didn’t do something, I could no longer be a man.” Nice.
