Vermillion Pleasure Night Vol 3 : 3 of 5

I'm guessing this is the final volume of this series, since there's actually only one episode of the TV show, but the rest of the DVD contains The Color of Life, which was a "greatest hits" collection of sketches from the show that was released as a movie in Japan. The movie has some of the best Oh! Mikey segments, but most of the other scenes are re-runs from the last two volumes (there are even sketches in the movie from the included episode, which feels like cheating to me!). Putting all that aside, this volume does contain some hilarious new stuff, including more Zombie Family episodes and a return to the Enka style version of Midnight Cooking, which is so great. There's also a final One Point English lesson to enjoy, featuring the raciest phrase yet - you'll have to watch to find out what it is! As a bonus feature, the DVD also includes a live show (which was an in-store promo for the soundtrack CD) that has some nice effects using projection on a scrim in front of the performers, and they even use the Fuccon mannequins on-stage! Overall, this is my least favorite volume of the series, but I'm glad I watched them all to enjoy some unusual culture and have a few bizarre laughs.
