Hentai Doujinshi by Hideaki Anno?

[Xard]

I ignored it because my post was long enough and the title says it's a Kenji Tsuruta book anyway

What does he get credited for in that case?

Google says he edited it

edit a few months later:
I can't bump this but I wanted to share this picture which is the best we'll get until someone buys those Chousen Ame issues


from an issue of Animec (not Animage)

BUMP tiem as actual material was found! Good job Noriko!

I approve of this find. Has the man's unmistakable signature.

[Carl Horn]

Although Anno of course has a history in the doujinshi scene (and friends who were even more into it), I don't think his "public" work has ever suggested that fan service is somehow beneath him. From the Daicon IV bunny girl's bounce to Shikinami's plug suit--if he's going to put his foot down and say "I don't want this kind of thing debasing my anime," he'd better do it soon

You, guys, aware that Gainax produced at least one pornographic work?

you mean the early-90s game with Gunbuster cast?

[Allemann]

I mean Beat Shot!! And when it comes to computer software, Gainax also made a strip mahjong game with Eva characters.

I can't say I'm really aware of 'Beat Shot'. There's jack about it in Google, nothing about it any materials I've read aside from the occasional chronology mentioning it for 1989, no torrents, etc. This thread is literally 1 of 3 mentions on the entire evageeks domain - a chronology on the wiki, this, and your other mention of it (http://forum.evageeks.org/viewtopic.php?p=459503#459503).

people watch it so it must be avalaible somewhere

no idea why Allemann called it porn though

Did you really google it? There are DL links (on nihonomaru) as 5th result for me (I use Google.com in English). There's also a torrent on nyaa, it wasn't seeded but I'm seeding it right now (nihonomaru's DL matches the torrent) even though my bandwith is low so it could take some time if you want to download it via torrent.

no idea why Allemann called it porn though

Because there are two sex scenes.

Thanks to Allemann, I never heard of this OVA before.

Nihonomaru isn't a torrent site, and it's on the second page for me. As for Nyaa, I hadn't checked them but if I had, I would have ignored it for having zero seeds. (Speculatively grabbing torrents in the hopes that a seed might show up in the future has not worked out well in the past.)

[TehDonutKing]

I can't stand torrents.

I've added the underscore tag now.

And what did you check for torrents? It's also present in tokytosho, they're the first two sites that I'd check when I search an anime.

(Speculatively grabbing torrents in the hopes that a seed might show up in the future has not worked out well in the past.)

I've downloaded many torrents in this way, at times thanks to DHT (which isn't tracked by most sites), I wouldn't immediately give up just because Nyaa says "0 seeders", usually if I'm interested I leave the torrent opens at least for a week or so.

I can't stand torrents.

I can't stand the Internets, what can we do about it? I just deal with it. Anyway just like I mentioned there are DL (direct download) links as well for this anime.

Beat Shot was one out of 2 OVA releases by Gainax based on manga by Satoshi Ikezawa (the other was Circuit no Okami II). The original work was serialized in Weekly Playboy and not 18+ but the anime can probably be considered softcore pornography since the explicit sex scenes was its selling point. No Gainax staff was involved in making it and all the work was done at Magic Bus. Gainax had a contract with Bandai Visual and used the money received by them to pay Magic Bus to produce the work. This is the way all these obscure (pseudo-)Gainax productions from that time (Circuit.., Money Wars, Blazing Transfer Student) were done. Blazing Transfer Student was done by Studio Fantasia who also co-produced Gunbuster and Otaku no Video.

This has nothing to do with the thread topic but speaking of pseudo-Gainax productions. The four part Doomed Megalopolis OVA is a Toei production but directed by (Madhouse co-founder) Rintaro with Madhouse doing the animation production. But from the staff it's clear that it's something like a co-production with Gainax. Masayuki is the character designer, animation director and co-storyboard artist of 2 episodes. Mahiro Maeda is also a designer. Animators include those two as well as Honda, Anno, Tsurumaki, Katsuichi Nakayama, Shoichi Masuo and several others who would have been at Gainax at the time.

Thanks for the information. I've had difficulty finding out much about those OVAs and at some point I will probably be revamping my History of Gainax convention panel to include stuff like this. Do you have any good sources for this stuff?

That these OVA's were done more or less completely through subcontractors is mentioned in The Notenki Memoirs though it's rather confusingly told. That it was Magic Bus that did Beat Shot is from these notes from a event with Toshio Okada [url]http://d.hatena.ne.jp/eg_2/20080224[/url]. If they could be translated they would be a great complement to the Notenki Memoirs

That Studio Fantasia did Blazing Transfer Student is from Japanese Wikipedia and ANN who mentions them as co-producers. But unlike Gunbuster or Otaku No Video it looks like no one on the staff was from Gainax. The director's other work is all Fantasia-productions. Here's more detailed but maybe not complete staff list in Japanese which has no Gainax names besides Toshio Okada (planning and screenplay).

Thanks for the comment Noriko. I've added it to the relevant line in my TNM ebook (with some formatting and extra hyperlinks).

EDIT: Ran into discussion on the EML http://eva.onegeek.org/pipermail/oldeva/1999-September/031352.html

this is specifically for all the ML archivist-types who may have stumbled onto copies of a near-legedary doujin series edited by sonoda "gunsmith cats"
kenichi called "chosen ame." literally "korean candy," the dojin is supposedly a vanity publication of sorts--that very high-end anime and manga
creators contribute to regularly. anno and sadamoto have been contributing 2-4 page story bits since 1992, and so have the ff: takahasi rumiko, iida
fumio, tamaki hisao, utatane hiroyuki, saito tomoko, tsuruta kenjii, oba shohei, imai hiruzu etc...

adam warren, who is known chiefly as a US manga provocateur (gen13 "magical drama queen roxy) even has an EVA story in chosen ame #10 called "tenshitachi no kyoen/angel's crazy party." someone out there wanna PDF these pages for
the rest of us? maybe the anno and sadamoto EVA ones? the best parodies often come from the horses' mouths.

Didn't know Warren did Eva hentai (?).

EDITEDIT: Do we have a thread for Sadamoto? Ran into this nifty statement by Carl Horn http://eva.onegeek.org/pipermail/evangelion/2005-January/002297.html

Sadamoto painted it as the cover to one of the very first EVA doujinshi, one edited by Hiroyuki Utatane (the artist of SERAPHIC FEATHER) which was sold at the Winter 1995 Comic Market.

I believe he is discussing http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/262311

[Xard]

Didn't know Warren did Eva hentai (?).

it's not like all Chosen Ame bits (or even majority of them) were 18+ stuff. It's entirely possible all Anno, Warren etc. have done are short comedic vignettes or like that.

Well, OK, but how about http://web.archive.org/web/20051118214322/http://www.gainax.co.jp/news/index.html?year=2005&month=8 ?

Ebj described it as 'Collection of Eva naughty pictures 1999-2003' (http://eva.onegeek.org/pipermail/evangelion/2005-August/002868.html), and certainly that's how it reads in Google Translate.
