Crystal Triangle: The Forbidden Revelation (1987)

unhingedreligious pulp80s excess

Overview

AnimationActionDrama

In times of olde, God gave mankind the ten commandments, and a message that has been lost to the centuries. In the present, Koichiro Kamishiro is a modern day Indiana Jones who scours (and often destroys) ruins for hints of the past, until one day he runs across a box filled with two crystal triangles. Having inadvertently run across the key to God's lost message, Kamishiro suddenly has a lot to deal with including assassination attempts by the KGB and the CIA, aliens hell-bent on destroying the Earth and the love of several women!

Standout Aspects

Direction

Okuda throws EVERYTHING at the screen for 87 minutes straight.

Visual Effects

Alien designs that look like rejected Gundam sketches blessed by chaos.

Best for:Friends: Group watch with someone who can pause to explain the theology.·Solo: Late night when you're ready to question reality itself.
Heads up:Violence: Kamishiro casually destroys world heritage sites like it's a Tuesday.·Triggers: Wildly insensitive Cold War stereotypes of basically every nationality.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Released direct-to-video in Japan during the OVA boom, when studios could get away with absolutely unhinged religious plots.

Cultural

The crystal triangles borrow heavily from 1980s pseudo-archaeology like 'Chariots of the Gods,' which was bizarrely mainstream then.
