Call Me TonightSummary: > So there is this guy named Ryu Sugiura, and he has a problem. You see whenever he gets "excited" by a woman, there's this alien looking "monster" that comes out. Now you're probably thinking you've heard this before - like that guy down the street who got arrested for trying that line on a woman at a bus stop before exposing himself, but no this actually happens to Ryu! Meanwhile Natsuki is your average schoolgirl who works at a phone escort service after hours, which is obvious in that she tries to look trashy as possible. So what happens when these two decide to meet? Well it's even more crazy than you would think. You see Natsuki agrees to meet Ryu, and discovers for herself his condition. Yet instead of screaming in terror and running away, she is in fact intrigued by it. From there Natsuki seems to take enjoyment in getting Ryu excited to see the monster come out and people getting freaked out. This also draws attention of this crazy girl in a gang who decides she wants to have her way with Ryu. Will Natsuki be able to hold onto Ryu? Will Ryu ever be released from this curse? What in the hell is going to happen with the whole monster thing when Ryu is put into a situation where he might actually have sex? It's hard to believe all of this happens, and these questions are answered within half an hour. Thoughts: > I'm not sure why I picked up this title, but when I get the chance to watch older quirky anime titles I usually take it. It's actually something I sort of miss in anime, because it's become more and more of a rarity, to have odd short one off OVA titles. I will start off by pointing out that this isn't a hentai title, but there is nudity and obviously sexual situations (duh). The premise is sort of.. lack luster I guess. I mean this guy turns into a monster when he's aroused? So what? The interesting part happens with Natsuki's interest in Ryu. And you'd think that would be it, but then there is this entire thing with a gang getting involved, led by a girl who wants to get busy with Ryu for whatever reason. There's enough good twists and a decent storyline to carry this title quite well through its 30 minutes. Animation wise this is soooo dated. That stands out more in the character designs more than anything else. And the girl from the gang has the crazy poofy anime hair that some characters used to have. Funny thing is I never really got this until one day I realized that people in the 80's actually DID have hair like that. That actually scared me even more. But lets face it you're watching this title for the story, not the animation and in that respect this title is pretty good. Recommended as a light hearted watch, although the whole monster thing is probably not the cup of tea for many, and the more sexual orientation in general will probably exclude even more people. If you're not in either of these categories, you might want to give Call Me Tonight a shot. Quote: > Natsuki: Moron, you think I'm going to sleep with a monster? Ryu: Yeah, I guess not.. Natsuki: But I'm very... interested in you. Screen Caps: >
