Orphan presents the first English-subtitled version of the 1991-1992 two-episode OVA Ore no Sora (My Skies). Taken from a best-selling manga by Mitomiya Hiroshi, it tells the story of Yasuda Ippei, heir to the all-powerful Yasuda conglomerate. Rather than going into the family business, Ippei chooses to become a cop and use his immense resources to catch criminals and right wrongs.

In the first episode, he faces down the powerful Kasei yakuza group, which is corruptly intertwined with the ruling political party. In the second, he goes after a psychotic kidnapper who goes by the name Hundred Faces. Not one bit of it is believable, and some of it is really distasteful. (Yeah, that’s a nudity, sex, and violence warning.)

Laserdisc rip on the Domesday Duplicator. For more details, see this blog entry.
