These comments are based on watching the UK DVD release from which most of the series' sexual violence has removed. This version was also dubbed into English with no option of watching in Japanese with subtitles.

After the Earth is struck by a comet Japan descends into lawlessness; most of the infrastructure is destroyed and the survivors become victims or oppressors. This series of three stories each feature the eponymous Violence Jack; a brutal giant of a man who uses his great strength to help the weak and brutalised. Whether it is under the wreckage of Tokyo or across the Kanto plain there will always be murderers and rapists for Jack to kill!

Given its title it is no surprise that these series is very violent at times and the sexual nature of some of that, even in the cut version, is somewhat disturbing. That said the stories are entertaining with lots of action. Violence Jack is an unusual protagonist; he doesn't say very much but grunts and growls during his many violent encounters. The villains are definitely evil so one feels no sympathy when they meet their ends. The animation is decent enough for a series of this age and the characters' design style suits the nature of the story. Overall I wouldn't call this a classic but if you like older, more violent anime then it is worth watching.

Violence Jack is personally one of my favourite animes because of the sheer rawness and that they have the balls to show such dark scenes but the Violence Jack Manga is a lot worse when it comes to the dark scenes it is more messed up Jack might not have all the personality of most anime heros but he makes up for it in sheer badassery anyway the plot is similar between the 3 episodes it is that a Earthquake known as the Hellquake and it is put Kanto Region of Japan and it has lead the strong to pray on the weak and Violence Jack is the only becon of hope for the Kanto Region I would give episode 1 a 8 out of 10 it is lower than the rest because of the animation then episode 2 a 10 out of 10 and episode 3 a 9 out of 10 so the final score is 10

This ova or show For anyone said anime for children and kids Because they see this like cartoon But i must admit not all cartoons and not all anime for children
