This Review is part of an Animetion UK
experiment, wherein we will watch some older anime titles whilst completely
blasted on a variety of alcoholic beverages. The results may be
understandably incoherent...
Current Alcohol Level: 9 Cans of
Carlsberg (440ml) & 1 'Ronin' Cocktail (Saké, Vodka & Lemon Juice), Jack Daniels & ginger,
Sex on the Beach Cocktail
What? Glowing green? I don't
know....this bizarre heavily edited makes no sense!! And enjoyable fun!!
Idol Of Darkness is rubbish but curiously rubbish. The plot, from
what can I ascertain, is this - jealous has-been actress wants revenge on new
good actress and can only do this from summoning a sex beast from some random
shrine! However she knows nothing of this shrine at all but she seems to
know all the rituals for some reason and then performs some ritual with her
Jonathan Ross lookalike manager by shagging him and becomes a demon! Ok,
but if you thought that was odd then what about the main character's boyfriend
who glows green at random intervals FOR NO REASON AT ALL???? It's never
explained!!!!!
THE BBFC SEEMs to have edited all the explanation stuff but why?
The sex stuff is left in! Oh well can't be helped so will have to make to
with what we've got which is rubbish!!! Viewing it drunk was bad enough
but you should not view it sober if it was this bad drunk!! Seeing an
anime lookalike of Jonathan Ross in the buff is bad enough but the lack of any
plot whatsoever is just shocking! Also the song sounds like the Maison
Ikkoku theme which is no bad thing but how did they get away with it???
Never mind.!!! Maybe with the bad plot it should be 'IDLE of darkness??'
Excuse the pun but still! An anime this bad deserves one???!
I don't want 2 watch this again - it's bad!!!!
Best Bit: Glowing GREEN!!!!!
Worst bit: Jonathan Ross get excited............... :(
