hakuro_honed★★★☆☆EP 1That scene where he is failing at everything until the android shows up makes the whole episode because she is so much more aggressive than he is
When a 19-year-old computer obsessive accidentally summons a futuristic android through his PC, she's determined to fix his love life using technology from the 22nd century. That's the setup for Visionary, a 5-episode OVA from 1995 that leans hard into absurd sci-fi comedy as its framing for adult content. The android, Doreimon, comes equipped with a bizarre entity called SM Snake and a toolkit of futuristic gadgets, all aimed at helping this hopeless guy pursue the woman he's into. The whole thing is adapted from U-jin's manga, and his character designs carry over intact, which is honestly part of the appeal if you're familiar with his work. The tone stays pretty light throughout. this isn't grim or intense. It's more like a raunchy comedy sketch that happens to involve time-displaced technology and romantic disasters. If you've seen Angel of Darkness or Another Lady Innocent and appreciated the retro 90s OVA aesthetic: hand-drawn, a little rough around the edges, clearly a product of its era, this fits that same space. It's got the same energy as Kenzen Robo Daimidaler in the sense that the sci-fi elements exist mostly as an excuse for comedic situations rather than any serious worldbuilding. Don't go in expecting a plot that takes itself seriously. It's a short, breezy watch that pairs a familiar wish-fulfillment premise with enough quirky details to keep it from feeling completely generic.

edward_elric_115★★★★☆EP 1Doreimon coming from the future just to help some frustrated kid score is such a weird setup and the gadget stuff is just bizarre
saphir★★★☆☆EP 1I was expecting something way more serious but the way Doreimon just pops out of the computer caught me off guard, and the transformation scenes were surprisingly well animated for an old OVA.
sasuke_shadow_62★★★☆☆EP 1Watching a nerd summon a futuristic android just to get a date is the most early nineties plot ever and the way she compensates for his issues is hilarious
pearl★★★★☆EP 1The whole idea of a future robot being sent back just to fix some guys sex life is the height of ridiculous nineties writing
croaa★★★☆☆EP 1I really did not think a Doraemon parody would go this far with the gadgets and the robot lady is actually kind of wild when she starts helping him out
saitama_smasher★★★★☆EP 1That summoning scene on the computer was so dated and funny and it really captures that old school nerd energy

luka_lyrical★★★☆☆EP 1I felt kind of bad for the girl he was trying to score with because that whole compensation plan was way too much
nekomata_ninja★★★★☆EP 1The parody of Doraemon is so blatant, but the way they turned it into a mature plot with an android is actually kind of funny

sakura_strength★★★★☆EP 1I really miss this specific style of retro sci-fi because the premise of a total loser summoning a futuristic android from his pc is just classic nonsense and the actual sm snake scene had me staring at my monitor in total disbelief since it went from zero to a hundred way faster than I expected for a first episode

menomaru★★★☆☆EP 1That Doreimon robot is such a wild parody and seeing her use 22nd century gadgets to help this loser get a girl was hilarious
