Ziggy: Soreyuke RR Band follows Japanese rock Ziggy as they come to London for a recording session only to find themselves getting attacked by a group of men as the arrive at the hotel. The musicians barely escape with their lives but soon find out that their producer has been murdered and they are the suspects. Chased by the police and a mysterious organization who has murdered their producer they soon find shelter at a local rockers place. And that mysterious organization? The Nazis. Thats right the Nazis are back and want to take over over the world but this time they want to take over the world through popular music. I know that this is technically a spoiler but would you even be paying attention if not for the twist being that hilariously contrived? And to top it all off the anime has members of Ziggy working with a cop from Scotland Yard who pilots an old World War II plane to attack a Nazi zeppelin to save another member of the band and to try and stop the Nazis. Now to pull it back a bit so that I dont oversell this OVA you have to approach this with moderate expectations. As awesome as that premise is for something its still not as memorably crazy or overthetop as some other anime is like Angel Cop or Mad Bull 34 but Id argue that in some ways thats better. Sometimes being that over the top is tiring so seeing something like this being a lot more low key can be a bit more enjoyable to some extent. But considering that the animes plot is just an excuse to get the whole OVA going and the music being front and center of the whole thing its pretty obvious that this was meant to to push the soundtrack that was being heavily featured throughout the whole thing with the songs being features prominently in the credits. And thats because this was a promotional piece for the real world Japanese rock band Ziggy. But for those who arent in the know who exactly are Ziggy? Ziggy was and still kinda is more on that later a blues rock/hard rock band that was founded in Morishige Juichi in 1984. Throughout the years the bands lineup has been constantly changing with multiple members joining leaving and rejoining the band. In the year 2000 they changed their name to SNAKE HIP SHAKES and released a few albums under than name but they eventually changed it back to ZIGGY in 2003. In 2008 the band announced an indefinite hiatus and have only come back for short periods of time in 2010 and 2014 with 2014 being Ziggys 30th anniversary. The TLDR read version of it is that this 70 minute OVA was nothing but a promotional piece to put on store shelves to promote the band that it was designed around. The band members didnt even voice the characters in the anime but I suppose thats because either the band was touring at the time it would have been too expensive or the band members either couldnt be bothered to do the voices for the anime or knew that actors would have been a better choice. And this wasnt the only anime to feature the music of Ziggy with the longrunning anime Detective Conan/Case Closed featuring other songs by Ziggy including Happy End and Step by Step. Ziggy is an anime that not only could have been made in the 80s with its cheesy Take down the man with the power of heart and music plot and silly soundtrack but it could have only been made during the Japanese bubble economy where Japan was having an exponential economic growth which coincidentally would pop the year after the released of this anime. And while its nothing more than a way to sell people on the band it still enjoyed it. Dont get me wrong its not some hidden classic but it is a mildly amusing romp with a silly plot solely meant to get people to buy more CDs but it was fun seeing some random 80s band take down the Nazis.
