Quote:

"KURE KURE TAKORA" first appeared on the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation's JOCX-TV on October 1st, 1973. It was a new type of program for children. TAKORA, a central character coveted for everything saying "KURE! (I want it)" all the time. Every episode was absurd, strange, surreal, indescribable, and ran 3 minutes each. Brutallo.com is proud to offer the complete Kure Kure Takora in the form of 4 DVD-Rs, digitally transferred, and handsomely packaged! Each volume contains 63 to 67 episodes each, totalling 260 episodes in all! Kure Kure!

Quote:

Watching episode after episode of "Gimme Gimme Octopus" can give one the impression that these films cannot get crazier, and yet each one brings in a new level of insanity and nihilism. Characters shoot arrows into their own heads, drink and spit up alcohol, smoke cigars, pull guns and knives on each other, begin fights without provocation, wind up with broken limbs wrapped in plaster casts, and still have time to think up new ways to annoy those around them. Each "Gimme Gimme Octopus" episode is matched with an equally bizarre music track, which alternates between smooth cocktail jazz and a militaristic grunt-chant that suggests the cast is preparing to invade Manchuria.

It would be too easy to heap on the adjectives and superlatives here, but perhaps the best advice is the briefest: you must see "Gimme Gimme Octopus" for yourself, because you cannot possible believe anything so weird was ever put on film. I’ve watched this five times and I still cannot believe what I was watching. Film Threat

Eheh, not really... this was a real children show, so the violence is of the slapstick kind, no blood, no disembowlements etc... they do use arrows, guns, katanas etc... but nothing graphic. I don't want you to be disappointed! :wink:

Lol. Wish there were shows like that when I was a kid. Maybe I wouldn't have turned out so normal... :lol:

Gotta love the message it send out though.. :beerchug:
