When I was young, a buddy of mine had a relative (don't remember, it was either an uncle or an older cousin) who had a bunch of bootleg anime OVAs on VHS. I found a clue recently that let me track down one of 'em, a four-episode OVA that apparently got a followup at some point. I can't speak to the rest, since I'm pretty sure I only ever saw the first episode. Anyway, it's even weirder than I remember, and definitely
very '80s.
Dream Hunter Rem is, in a phrase, Mahou Shoujo Loli Harry Dresden moonlighting as a one-character crossover between Scooby Doo and Yu Yu Hakusho, set in the universe of the Heavy Metal film.
As I recall it, the story of this OVA series is that it was originally intended to be made as a one-episode hentai OVA, but the premise generated enough excitement that the studio shifted gears and made a full, non-pornographic show out of it (at least "full" by the standards of 80s OVAs). That said, the apparent origin shows through from time to time.
Also it's magically fixed by the next shot. Continuity editor!
Yes, those two clips
are sequential.
...so that she can summon the power of Thundara.
Allusions to the original purpose of the work ain't all that's showing.
About two seconds later the monster talks about pumping her full of his "power".

Aaand I don't know what I expected.
That was about 18 minutes of the first episode, which is 45 minutes long. I won't spoil any more if anyone's intended to go dig it up. Good luck, incidentally; you'll likely either need to buy a VHS off someone or yar har har, 'cause
this ain't getting imported any time soon. What a goddamn trip, I'm so glad I found out what this was called.
