Presumably it was originally made for the Japanese market though. I think I read that the hentai scenes were added because they needed to make their money off the perverts (and hentai wasn't censored). Same as all the fan service you get in anime now. I don't think it actually sells that well, which is why it's so expensive and pandering - they rely on the weirdos buying them

I remember reading Empire in the mid-nineties and it being full of ads for anime movies that either looked like they were full of violence or full of tits (or Legend of the Overfiend, which I seem to remember being full of both?)
On the subject of videogame nudity, there was a top-down cyberpunk-y adventure game on the Amiga, that I think might have been called Dreamweb or something? It leaned very heavily on being all grown-up and gritty. Anyway, that was the first game I played that had a pixelated tadger in it.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - 8/10
Really good, but slow in parts (like a lot of 1970s movies). The beginning and last third are great. Sutherland and Nimoy are brilliant too. Not seen this for over 30 years and it was a real treat.
Also That end seen is about as good as it gets š³

It's all Akira's fault, basically.
When that became a hit in the west it opened up the floodgates for adult animation from Japan. The most well known were heavy on violence and sex - Ninja Scroll, Wicked City, Devil Man, that sort of thing. It also brought over series that were basically full on Hentai, like Legend of Overfiend (albeit heavily edited).
Barring the Franch-Japanese animated collaborations like Dogtanian and the Muskahounds or Ulysses 31 in the 80s, the more family-based animation from Japan didn't really land properly in the west until the advent of Pokemon, which led to similar series like Yu-Gi-Oh getting picked up and Disney into buying the distribution rights to Studio Ghibli's films in the 2000s.

Weirdly I've never seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I think it's on Prime.

Yeah, they do various seminars, events and workshops over the year. This is a 10 week history of Sci-fi movies. Looking forward to finding some nuggets I've not seen too.
