This is a very rare movie, Kumiko Goto’s final starring role before retiring at 21. I could not find a single clip of it on the internet, not even a trailer, so I bought the VHS and uploaded it to the internet so others can see it in full. No subs, but at least it exists. archive.org/details/seey...

One big reason I love this show so much is they nailed the casting for every part. Nothing like this had ever aired on Japanese television before but a former boxer and novice actress crush it.

"adult content" smh...if this website doesn't want to die, they should consider not treating every user like they're a baby who needs to be protected from images that might be deemed slightly provocative

Just released Cult Epics 2k transfer of this wonderful film looks terrific without removing the charm from Obayashi’s trademark compositing and hand drawn special effects. DVD is light on extras but one cool thing they did is reprint the theatrical pamphlet as a booklet.

I'm warming up to Yui, and I know the nose rubbing is a popular shonen trait, but when she does it, why does it give cokehead vibes?
