Send In The Eels: A Genki Diary

Even as Japan fights allegations of overfishing the delicious bluefin tuna, director Daichiki Amano employs its marine neighbors, such as eels, octopi, and the wriggly loach, in extreme porn that is truly tentacular. And Amano's casting couch isn't limited to the sea.

When last this site visited the girls of Genki Genki (and found it horrifying), its founder hadn't contributed a blog. Now readers can peak into the precise, perverted, and pescaphilic mind of Amano as he blithely describes sets awash in liquefied worms, vomit, and unexpected tenderness.

. . .

"Other porn films featuring cockroaches don't come anywhere close to this one..." drawls the auteur in "The hentai diary of genius director Daikichi Amano." The images on his site and in his movies are vivid and well-crafted and, unlike much fetish work, is not so arty as to be remote. One's own feeling about the content aside (and please don't tell PETA), the work is arresting.

"Around this time of the year, creatures tend to rot pretty quickly," Amano writes, making our own on-set adventures seem commonplace. "And the unbearable stench has a considerable effect on the resolve of our actresses and actors on set."

While his non-human work will undoubtedly raise the ire of animal rights activists, Amano has other irons in the fire, including strangulation, poo, and necrophilia. Regarding his workout regimen, Amano jokes (we think): "I'm hoping that one day, when I have really masculine body, I will be able to strangle an actress by lifting her up in the air by the neck with just one arm!"
