This is surely one of the most bizarre and mystery-shrouded anime features of the last decade: Midori. The name will probably not be familiar, but the comic on which the film was based has been released here under the title Mr. Arashi’s Amazing Freak Show. Yes, this film is an adaptation of a comic by the uncontested king of ero-guro, Maruo Suehiro. It’s remarkable enough that a Maruo Suehiro anime exists in the first place, but no less remarkable are the circumstances surrounding the film’s origin and presentation to the public.
Where to begin? First of all, Midori is a rather hard film to classify. It’s anime, but it’s not. Anime is known for being rather limited, but this film takes limited to a whole new level. It’s closer to a kami shibai or paper play, a type of one-man entertainment that was popular in pre-WWII Japan. Maruo’s original comic is in fact an adaptation of a kami shibai, so it’s an appropriate analogy. And the remarkable thing is that this anime version really is a one-man entertainment: every drawing you see in the 52 minute film was drawn by one person, thereby making it true to the spirit of the original – a modern kami shibai. Attempting such a thing is pretty much pure insanity. It wound up taking this person five years to make the film.
