The second Ujicha film I've seen. Not quite as good as Burning Buddha Man I'm afraid, even though the films are pretty similar. The biggest difference for me was that Violence Voyager takes a lot longer to get started and isn't quite as crazy or insane. Meaning that any reservations I had about Ujicha's Gekimation style are just more prevalent here.
The first half of the film is very basic. Ujicha's art style is decent, and the animation has its charm, but it's hardly revolutionary and not that suited to tell a simple story. Things definitely improve during the second half, when the creep and crazy finally surfaces, but by then it's a case of too little, too late. I'm a little surprised Violence Voyager is actually the newer of the two films, it certainly felt the other way around. It's still a cool film, just not as good as Burning Buddha Man.
