RavenHawk Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I mentioned this in the current anime being watched thread, but as this isn't a current one, but a pretty old one, figured I'd start a new thread and make people who aren't aware of this... aware... Just watched Scramble Wars for the first time... all 26 minutes of it. Oh my lord... despite not understanding a single word of Japanese, except where the Genom-made racecar dirven by the Boomer was explained to be supercharged and have active suspension, I have to tell you this thing was AWESOME. It's like Wacky Races meets super-deformed ARTMIC characters! Knight Sabers and Priss and her motoslave and AD Police and Leon and a Boomer and the head of Genom from Bubblegum Crisis, Stick and his MOSPEADA from Genesis Climber MOSPEADA, the old school Garland from Megazone 23, the full cast of Gall Force: Eternal Story and Gall Force Rhea, and a whole bunch of characters I don't even know by name... they weren't kidding when they say in the opening "For ARTMIC Freaks!" Sylia gives Priss the finger as she passes her on her motoslave in the lingerie van... GENIUS Quote
danth Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I have to tell you this thing was AWESOME. I have this on VHS. I remember when it was listed for $80(!) on Amazon because it was so rare. Someone finally listed one cheap and I snagged it. I need to watch it again. I remember the races, but I also seem to remember something about Lufie trying to get people to work on animation cels or something. Anyway, yeah, Artmic rocks. Quote

The AVI I downloaded of it just has the race, but I love it. Quote
danth Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I remember now. Ten Little Gall Force was a super deformed parody of Gall Force, which included the scenes I mentioned. It was released with Scramble Wars on VHS as "Super Deformed Double Feature". Quote
