GUYS. AKIYUKI SHINBO MAY HAVE DIRECTED PORN
How’s that for one confused and badly designed graphic? 10 seconds in Photoshop!
Anyways, I gotta actually thank this motherfucker for bringing the mysterious “Juuhachi Minamizawa” to my attention, and specifically his work on “Unbalance.” This show really is just 30 minutes of porn with Soultaker-style shooting and colouring (NSFW), and it’s almost kind of amazing. I’m still open to the idea if it being the work of an imitator (this was made right after Soultaker) but it’s just copied so well that it may as well be Shinbo himself!
The Japanese internet has been talking about this since as late as 2005, and probably further back. I’ve found some blog entries about the two directors’ similar styles, but my Japanese has gotten far too rusty (need to practice) and there are just too many kanji! Can anyone with hot JLPT skills give me a rundown? (While you’re at it, you can take a stab at this, too)
It would be absolutely hilarious if Shinbo actually turned out to be Minamizawa, because honestly, he doesn’t hide the fact that he’s ONE OF US.
I still need to watch the other 2 eps of Unbalance. You should also check out Yuuwaku because while it isn’t as obvious shinbo, it’s the most I’ve ever been drawn into the actual plot of a porn and the ending really fucks with you.
digitalboy, do you mean “Yuuwaku Countdown”? I want to make sure before I download something I don’t want.
Also, when I look for Unbalance, all I find is that damn Genshiken spinoff…
