  DVD Times - Urotsukidoji: Perfect Collection
Urotsukidoji is every bit an epic piece of animation which spans many years - a couple of generations in fact - but the longer it has continued the further downhill it has gone.
Urotsukidoji is clever in a sense that it does well to mask certain areas so as not to lessen the overall impact, while staying within censorship laws of the time.
Urotsukidoji appears to have been given a sizeable budget, it pulls off some spectacular feats during the action sequences, whereas for the more heavy dialogue based scenes the animation is a little bit weaker.

 AAW: Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend Review
Urotsukidoji is the story of Amano Jyaku from the world of the Jyujinkai and his three-hundred year quest to discover the Chojin.
Urotsukidoji itself looks down on the majority of other anime because, despite the massive amounts of mature material, it has a mature, brilliantly written and amazingly engaging plot.
Although I have already attempted to persuade you that Urotsukidoji is not a hentai, it is impossible to discuss Legend of the Overfiend without making at least some effort to discuss the adult material in it.

But this is UROTSUKIDOJI revamped: the animation isn't the 2D fare of that cinematic masterpiece, this is digital 3D with 5.1 Dolby Stereo Surround Sound echoing through your home cinema system.
However, some things are so central to the UROTSUKIDOJI formula that they never change - there's a still an army of extra nameless characters who make their entrance only for elongated sex scenes.

Quite possibly one of the most misunderstood and unjustly maligned anime titles ever, UROTSUKIDOJI is traditionally shunned by those who haven't seen it because of its reputation for singlehandedly inventing the erotic horror hentai that prominently features tentacle monsters.
While the UROTSUKIDOJI may put the emphasis on sex sometimes, it is really one of the most imaginative and terrifying series out there.
UROTSUKIDOJI IV is the conclusion to the series and it finds Amano trying to save his friends from certain death.

 AnimeNation News
Urotsukidoji part 3 does not contain overt, visual censoring because it's simply not graphic enough to need it, but all other Urotsukidoji animation is old enough that the censoring is not digital censoring laid over the animation but actually a part of the animation itself and therefore cannot be altered or removed.
Urotsukidoji was originally released in Japan as four series of individual OAV releases over a period of several years.
The only DVD releases of the third and fourth Urotsukidoji series are in their dubbed, combined and spliced together "movie" versions.

 AnimeOnDVD.com >> Disc Reviews >> Urotsukidoji IV: Inferno Road
“Urotsukidoji IV: Inferno Road” is the last of four major story arcs constituting the “Urotsukidoji” anime series by Toshio Maeda (who also did “Nightmare Campus,” “La Blue Girl” and various other animes, as well as the manga on which they’re based – all of which I like).
They wonder where three of their friends (again, from Urotsukidoji III) have gone, and speculate that, while the they in the tank will have to drive around the hole, their friends – on foot – may very well be taking the route they all planned to take, going straight ahead, and so through the hole.
The universe of Urotsukidoji is cyclical, rather than linear – an end is always a new beginning, in some way – but, insofar as the series could have an ending, it has one.

This DVD contains urotsukidoji 1 and 2, the first one is incredible and the second one is ok. Theses films have become pretty infamous due to the excessive violence and nudity in the film.
If you are a fan of urotsukidoji DONT BUY THIS, This version is badly butchered and censored and is missing the japanese voices, That would not be so bad if the dubbed voices were any good but they arent, I have never seen a subbed manga with voices this bad actually.
See Urotsukidoji if you must, but it's best to take it with a pinch of salt - it seems to be in existence to deliver gore and sex scenes, which kind of spoil a rather interesting plot.

I've made no bones about it over the years that I've found the original Urotsukidoji series, the five episode OVA show, to be one of the best hentai releases I'd seen and a show that early on that proved that even that genre can produce solid and engaging stories.
The original Urotsukidoji series made a huge impact on me back in the early 90's when it first came out.
Urotsukidoji: New Saga isn't problem free, both in technical and content, but after watching as much hentai as I have, this is one of the precious few that I will go back and rewatch over the next few years, just like the original.

 Urotsukidoji
Urotsukidoji is violent, brutal, and lurid, but it is also engaging and even exhilarating.
The animation used to give life to the various brutal occurrences depicted in Urotsukidoji is often helpful in arousing the feelings of terror, exhilaration, and disgust which dominate the film.
Although Urotsukidoji is never visually stunning, it does provide a number of dire and repulsive images able to evoke feelings of fear, ferocity, and revulsion in the viewer.

Urotsukidoji: Perfect Collection is the first half of an infamous pornographic venture by the renowned Toshio Maeda, and has been generating discussion since 1987.
Granted, the flashbacks to the 1940's are some of the most enjoyable parts Urotsukidoji (or would be if the producers of the DVD had not allowed the English subtitles to be placed directly on top of the Japanese subtitles for the German dialogue which made a big ugly mess.).
Urotsukidoji's got an epic feel to it, and the soundtrack is pretty decent too.

 2.06: Street Cred
The plot of Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend is basic, a simple engine to move the characters around: Every 3,000 years the Overfiend tries to unite the three cosmic dimensions: Humans, Man Beasts, and Demons.
Like much Japanese adult animation, Urotsukidoji is a party mix of images and ideas lifted from science fiction, fantasy, horror movies, and soft- core porn.
For the truly damaged, note that Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend is an English-language-dubbed, 90-minute version of a more elaborate telling of the Overfiend story that is more than six hours long (also available from Central Park Media).

 Topspins.net - Urotsukidoji: Perfect Collection on DVD review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
One of a number of japanese animations cited by the BBFC as "elevating misogyny into atrocity," Urotsukidoji is a dubious but entertaining blend of mystical mumbo jumbo, soppy teen romance, gore and hardcore sex.
Be warned that patience with the production values is required if the fairly heavily drawn lines, low-ish frame rate and 80s video game synth score (enlivened with the odd bit of kewl chanting) aren't to cripple the experience.
The BBFC have also cut Legend of the Demon Womb (episodes 4and5 on this set)by 3 mins 12 secs, but as the full version is pretty tame this could be the extent of the cuts.

 Tentacle rape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toshio Maeda's manga Urotsukidoji created what might be called the "modern paradigm" of tentacle porn, in which the elements of sexual assault are emphasized.
Maeda explained that he invented the practice to get around strict Japanese censorship regulations, which prohibit the depiction of the penis but apparently do not prohibit showing sexual penetration by a tentacle or similar (often robotic) appendage.
The Urotsukidoji Saga — Started in 1987, the Overfiend series is the most well-known title in the genre.
