OBSCURE O.V.A.S, *Dead Leaves

This was a one-shot OVA produced by Production IG(Ghost In The Shell), and created by Gainax who did FLCL and Gurren Lagann. It was an original anime not based on any manga.

Set in the distant future, two amensiac fugitives find themselves in the middle of the desert. After a quick crime spree, they’re caught and sentenced to a prison on what’s left of the moon. Once there, they team up with the other inmates to do the ultimate prison break. This leads to some amazingly cartoonish fight scenes. It’s literally like a cross between Tom & Jerry and Quinton Tarentino. It leads up to a big battle, an immature pregnancy, and lots of explosions and violence.

A censored version of Dead Leaves has been featured on Sci-Fi Channel’s Ani-Monday, and a few other cable TV screenngs. It’s a great sci-fi anime with quirky character designs, over-the-top action, and some serious reality-challenging physics!
