## IT'S JUST BAD, Not much to see hare but some rare art!
This is most likely made using an old PC-98 or something like it. Not much power was used, low animation like badly made flash videos.
Best part of the video is the ending, vary funny and most likely done by the guys who make & sold this VHS.

Episode REI - Akagamido (赤紙堂) VHS [Lain32].mkv (208.1 MiB)
The amount of Evangelion Doujin VHS tapes is astonishing. This show opened the floodgates that led to a boom of animated doujin videos. The best ones being the Rayearth one, based off Ayashigedan's own doujinshi series, and the Human Rape Project, which is a miracle that a high quality parody was produced with cels. Though, it's Evangelion, so with its popularity at the time anything was possible. It's sad to see the market for parody based videos made by the fans for the fans being reduced to nothing. This all because of Konami filing a lawsuit against the team that made an animated parody based off Tokimeki Memorial called "Dogimagi Imagination どぎまぎイマジネーション', which the magazine FRIDAY published a piece on. This caught traction since Tokimeki Memorial was very popular, and Konami won the lawsuit and the tapes were ordered to be destroyed and payout for damages to be made. This killed off doujin animation in Japan, where only new ones came out very rarely (Zero no Tsukaima + Bakemonogatari in particular).
All these tapes are small part of history from that time and I wonder what other parodies could have been made and what aspiring animators would spend their free time creating for the love of it. We can at least see some of them in the live-action segments at the end of some of these tapes. If you ever come across Dogimagi Imagination, then that's a pretty rare tape you got. Can't remember if i'm allowed to link to external sites, but I know one that lists all this information along with a catalogue of Doujinshi VHS tapes for informative purposes.
@ProxyMan, I was reading that lawsuit, its very sad. I'm also trying to get a copy of Dogimagi Imagination that was not destroyed as ordered by Konami. I'll over pay for this one, just to make sure I get it. Also love to fine EPISODE: ASUKA and DELUSION, that may be all the Evangelion Doujin. Sadly one my Doujin VHS ended up being just a bootleg of Tales of Misbehavior. (A funny one, but not needed)
I own all the RANOMONTO VHS that have be seen online before in bad rips. I know of two more but can't fine any info on them online, suruga-ya has never sold them before.
Its S3 THEしゃわー & Princes KEDAMONO (so rare I only have half the VHS cover art) Almost as rare is the newer HD var. of Gekidora 2.2 & S2 THE Shower (I own the case for S2, sadly its missing the disc) You can't fine them online but it looks like Ranomonto does make Blu-rays as well. Looks like Akane Tendo has some CG Blu-rays, I have a ad for one of them from 2017.
I think I know the site your thinking of, I'm been using it so I know what to look for as it like only one of two sites I know that has pics of the VHS covers.
It funny, I now own 18 tapes that are listed on this site: www2.biglobe.ne.jp/~tell/DAR/ and it all started as I was looking to make a nice rip of Gekidora 2.2.
I'm working on 新造人間ストラグルバニー right now. Its more of a AMV Music then hentai, looks very good. Looks like the director of El Hazard, Pretty Sammy, Rayearth, Slayers, etc. made this one?
Hares a list of VHS I'm getting from Japan that I have won, just need to get them mailed to me.
Sentimental HEART (To Heart)
Virgin Revolution I - 処女革命 I
Iden Shinyousei - イデンシノヨウセイ
Tofuya Anime Vol.2 - とーふ屋アニメ 弐号
Sakura in full bloom - サクラ満開
GET YOUR LOVE (Most likely original)
Dogimagi Imagination - どぎまぎイマジネーション (Just looked and seen I won it)
@lain32, Yeah that is the site I use. Pretty extensive work as it is hard to find information on all this stuff. I remember when I first discovered what hentai was and found the evangelion parody and all those other bad parody rips. It kept me searching and wondering what other animated parodies were hiding out there
This might help you a bit as it turns out three of those VHS releases actually have an official download (purchase necessary) on dlsite. The releases by S.B.Project: 同人アニメ『新造人間ストラグルバニー/魔法少女ダイアナ/YAYOI 』can be bought in AVI format here in case you were curious:
https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ029219.html
I wonder what the quality is like on those compared to floating tapes.
If its the same as the 2001 CD I have, its very badly rip from the VHS. Maybe DLsite has a newer var. from a higher source, but I'll rip what I have for now as I paid less for both VHS & the CD var.
Edit: Looks like this is a pic from that var. of DLsite https://twitter.com/00paranoia00/status/1225782416519774209
If that's what the download looks like, my VHS looks better to my eyes.
