I have this new DVD box set... what the hell is it?

[Nikose Tyris]

So I went to chinatown with my fiance, and I've got the case in front of me now- It's all VCD's, the cover has 3 girls (Blue, Yellow, Pink) With butterfly themes, it's got Anime and CGI on the cover and there are two 'bad guys' on the cover, dressed in purple, with one having big hair. Like, Ganguro style hair. I'm trying to take a photo of it now and upload it to show you, but I'll edit that in.


we have no idea what this is called. The title is in... probably chinese? probably?

character names are written on the back- Sally, Maggie, Michelle, Lili and Luna.


Edit; There isn't really a tag for this. I'm putting TV. I considered putting it under RPG for no explicable reason.


Edit 2: Got it.

Hee. Hope it's NTSC and not PAL; otherwise you'll NEVER know what it is. XD Did you check that before you bought it?


No offense, but why'd you buy it if you don't know what it is?

[Kim]

It's Sailor Moon live action. I can say this because I know nothing about Sailor Moon.

[Nikose Tyris]

Fiance wanted it, not me. :P She's a bit of an oddball. It's a VCD so it'll play in pretty much anything.

It was bought because of the cover, honestly. It reminded her of Sailor Moon, so I conceded. for $8 for 5 VCD's it looked like a night of MST3K for the household.

[Kim]

It's probably porn.

[Nikose Tyris]

It's probably porn.

Best case scenario.

[Meister]

Put it in and watch it. See how much about the plot you got right afterwards if you can actually find any info about it.

[Nikose Tyris]

watching it atm isn't possible- just have access to my netbook which has no drive in it. I was just hoping someone here would have the knowledge on how to read that title.

[krogothwolf]

You can't post something like that then not be able to play it right away! That's evil and the suspense is killer.

[Bells]

It's not really porn, at least it doesn't follow what you usually get from Porn Cover in Japan / China also cause it's a multi disk

It's probably some sort of Sailor Moon/ Super Heroine knockoff and as far as i know, that text i certainly Chinese.

[Fifthfiend]

Best case scenario.

How confident are you those aren't dudes under those wigs?

[Krylo]

May I remind you that this is a Nikose thread?

I don't think those being dudes would change his opinion of the scenario at all.

The small font above the title? Yeah. That look Chinese to me.
The actual title? The curly bit? Could be Korean, or Thai.

But it could simply be a fancy font, akin to western cursive, or some other fancy font and turn out Chinese.

EDIT: Also, have you tried tineye.com already?
Who knows. It could work, right?

[Bells]

We demand results! Also, as punishment for making this thread without watching the Weird Secret Stuff, you must watch all of it regardless of how bad it is!

I... HAVE SPOKEN!! *thunder*

[Nikose Tyris]

Tineye didn't work, and we're watching the discs tonight.

[Yrcrazypa]

May whatever gods are watching have mercy on your souls.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

£10 Says Nikose is never the same again after tonight.

[The Sevenshot Kid]

£10 Says Nikose is never the same again after tonight.

I'll bet the American equivalent to whatever the hell it is you're betting with!

[Bells]

i'm the only one betting that i wish this to be some sort of really awkward and badly done Chinese COsplay Porn Series that Nik will watch all 5 disks of it and then get filled with a deep guilt and slightly aroused and more guilt for being aroused by that?

My Knowledge (Languages) check revealed nothing about your particular case of untranslatable oriental language. Japanese is about as much as I'm willing to learn (tried Chinese, it's really fucking complicated). I can safely say that your DVD is NOT Japanese in origin. Or at least the cover isn't Japanese.

EDIT: It looks more like Chinese. Even the weird loopy stuff. Japanese normally has hiragana amongst the kanji (because kanji is mainly used for verbs and nouns, while hiragana is usually used for most grammar, punctuation, and basic words that need no kanji).

[krogothwolf]

I bet its men cosplaying as sailor heroes gang banging each other. Nikose probably starred in it.

[Lost in Time]

Then that raises more questions! What made him forget that he was in this one? Did he really appear in so many homoerotic cosplay pornos that in his memory this one gets lost in the mix?

My mind, it is baffled. :(

[Sky Warrior Bob]

So apparently, this DVD must have contained some vile spirit that came out of his television set & brutally murdered Nikose. That, or the viewing experience was so traumatic that his entire mind was wiped.

Or he's just too embarrassed to tell us what the VCD was about.

SWB

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Either way I think it means Gunslinger owes me money!

[Nikose Tyris]

...it was horrifying.

There was some generic evil chick who broke into a castle and stole a magic crystal.

then my girlfriend got a headache. I'm ready to watch more tonight.

[Bells]

Hey... maybe a screencap or two for the crazy mob here?

Share your pain, it's our delight y'know?

[Nikose Tyris]

I will afterwards, and type up a bit of a summary of what I'm seeing.

I mean jesus what the hell guys.

[krogothwolf]

Man, you should totally stream it for us!
