Image drawn by Dr Comet", "writing": "So as you may remember, I did a long review on Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature and as you can recall, I didn't really care for it. Sure, it may have been written and directed by one of the, if not THE most influencal manga artist out there but that didn't stop the movie being chaotic, nonsensical and not to mention not really that good. Sure it may have some nostalgic value for some older furry fans out there but you got to admit that not even nostalgia could save this movie even if you were blind. Wow, I sounded rather insulting just now, let me refraise that.\n“Bagi” had a lot of potential going on but due to a lot of reasons, Osamu Tezuka seemingly just did some mad lips and made up stuff as the movie went along. Again, maybe it was due to time restraints or just creative stubberness but because of instead of just taking time and develop the story more in details, maybe the movie wouldn't come out as a illogical and surreal mess that it ended up become. \nSo yeah, as you can tell from the title, I found myself wondering how I personally would do it better. Now I admit that I am not simply a better writer or storyteller so I was thinking on if I were born Japanese with a established career as a manga artist and anime director and how I would do a remake of “Bagi” on a possible “insert-year-here”-th anniversary for Tezuka where various creators would do a anime based on Tezuka's 600 mangas out there. So I went with that mind set for a possible scenario in a alternative universe... Or something, I don't know, just let me have this, alright? I am just trying to justify myself from not doing a bad fanfic or something~!\n\nWhat I would do, is to focus more on the motorcycle gang called Hell House where our main hero was a member off. From I could see from the various sequences, there were roughly about seven bikes with maybe two riding on one of them so I would have roughly about 6 major characters right there just to shorten the cast a bit. From there I would have a basic info about these characters and while I would of course name them, let's just for the sake of simplicity give them more western names in this version. \nRyo would be pretty much the same from the original anime except maybe not so idiotic, he is still pissed off that his mother is never around and seems to not care about him and his father being barely around with his job as a crime reporter especially when it is Ryo's fifteenth birthday which would be last straw for the young rebel and give up on life in general and become a deliquent. \nThe leader of the motorcycle gang would be nicknamed Scar due to his stitched scar on his cheek, but in reality he would have for him a rather embarrasing real name like Mervin or something like that and the true origins for his scar would be just as equally embarressing like maybe he simply tripped and cut his cheek on the floor and he would keep claiming that it was from a knife fight in order to make him look like a badass. He would be nilhilistic and crude yes but not as ruthless in the original anime and instead being a misguided senior student who feels he will loose his life if he would become a clerk or something like that with no real purpose in life.\nThe muscle bound dude with the jeans west that was killed in that shack in the original movie would be called Brick but in reality he is named Peter. He is acting like the typical dumb huge idiot but in reality he would be a actually canditate for pretetious colleges but like Scar, he feels like he has no real guidance or purpose in life and is with the gang solely because he feels like himself.\nThe other fat guy with the rockabilly look and pompadour hairstyle and the weird rodant nose who was killed of in the cabin, would be named Harry who would have a crush on one of the gang members who I will get to later but he is the stereotypical tough guy but turns out to be a way too nice guy and too much of a wuss who does what everyone tells him to until he would find his balls again later on.\nThe fat chick who was with the gang for a minute who Peter would a crush on, would be called Sis. She would be depicted as somewhat bitchy and rude mostly because she feels rejected and mocked by her class mates when in reality she isn't but in her mind she feels ridiculed and joined the gang solely to feel more apart from the norm. \nLastly we would have Monkey, due from what I saw from the anime he had the same design of a anime monkey when Sis was strangling him in panic before Bagi tore her off their bike. He would be a little of a literal butt monkey of the gang, kind of like how Krillin is treated in the Dragon Ball Abriged series. \n\nThen after that, if I would produce a remake of “Bagi”, I would simply focus on the first 40 minutes of the original anime and develop it from there cause in my mind, that part was where the anime had the most potential and a story that actually kind of made sense while the other part of the anime was just weird and insane. \nThe anime would start with the Hell House gang riding on their bikes one late night just minding their own business but getting bored of not doing anything fun like hanging out at the arcade or something like that until they see Bagi wearing her hooded coat from the overpass, but as they try to follow her just to scare her for laughs, Bagi would simply vanish but the gang would simply assume that she managed to run through the woods so the gang gives up for the night and rides off but not before Ryo seems to notice two glowing eyes staring after him between the dark trees.\nThe morning after, we would establish more character development from the gang like how Ryo doesn't pay attention in class and got into a fight without any real provocation when a class mate casually asks him about his parents, Scar skips school in general by just reading hentai at a book store without paying for it, Brick reading for a letter which turns out to be a acceptance noctice for a college much to his dismay but we the audience would assume that it is a rejection notice or something, Sis watches at her classmates giggling and angrily but incorrectly assume they are mocking her and Peter just fooling around with Monkey during test in school. \nThese would be essential to establish the young teenagers who are wtihout direction or guidance in life thus deciding to rebel the norm and fight for pitty reasons. Then the gang would join together skipping detention and ride of on their bikes at a construction site to just goof around and go mindless stunts with their bikes like making donuts or pulling office chairs with ropes tied on the back on the bikes until they are confronted by another gang of bikers. \nAfter a rather comedic fight scene unlike most gang fights where this one would be mostly slaps and calling each other names, they see the same red hooded figure again scavaging for rats, the gangs decides to chase her thinking that it is just a homeless person and thus it is okay to mock the less fortunate. \nCornered, Bagi would defend herself like in the original anime, tackling down the bikers and such except only pushing them and Scar would have his visor down so they would get scratched instead of his face which is equally as terrifying. Ryo would tumble and fall off his bike as he sees the figure standing in front of him before they hear the wailing of police cars and Bagi runs off on her four much to Ryo's confusion. \nRyo and the gang would get arrested and Ryo gets picked by his father who I will call Gerald drives him home and pulls the whole shame on you speech unto Ryo turns it around by scolding at his dad since it would be revealed that it is Ryo's birthday and Gerald could ever do is getting those really cheap ramen in bowls that you can cook in microwaves which can create dramatic tension between them. So after that rather sad yet comedic display with his dad regretfully gives Ryo a more expensive ramen in bowls that you need to cook in ovens, Ryo is called out by Scar and the gang through the window of his room and Ryo sneaks out to enjoy a more suitable feast for birthday boy. Just to show how significant and deep their friendships really are, despite that Scar just keeps claiming that he doesn't really care and that he only use the excuse to eat cake and such. \nThen after that party, the gang hangs out at a shack that Scar found where they decide to just hang out for the night and have their turn at a bottle of sake but suddenly they are confronted by the same gang from the construction site and unlike before they are really threatening due to their own drunken state so they start to really bash the place with rocks with the intention of brutally beating up Ryo and his friend. \nThen suddenly, Bagi bursts through the floor when the rival gang breaks into the house and really beats them up with cut and whips with her tail like a scene from a horror movie, making Ryo and his gang scatter in pure fright thinking that the monster is killing the gang. To make things worse, one of the rival gang members glomps Ryo with scars on his face crying “Heeeelp meeeeeee!!” before he is grabbed and thrown away by Bagi who was kept in the shadows before. The guy would not be dead, just in deep need of therapy and medical attention for months. Frightened to see a mysterious humanoid animal creature in front of him, Ryo falls on his butt and crawls back while Bagi tries to comfort him claiming that she never killed the gang but Ryo refuses to listen to him despite her calling his name and stating who she is. \nThen in a homage to a more moving scene from Prince of Egypt, Bagi would tearfully sing a lullaby song that only Ryo would know about, making him calm down for a moment and stare at Bagi who shares a hopeful smile while tears runs down on her cheek. But Ryo makes a run for it on his bike while he experiences a traumatic living nightmare where he remembers Bagi when he was only a child. He had only assumed that Bagi was a imaginary friend based on a pet he had once, like most person would assume shown in the same way in the original flashbacks where Bagi displayed the more not so normal abilities like standing on her hind legs like a person and able to read and stuff like that but behave like a normal cat when his father were around and then Ryo sings a lullaby to Bagi based on a made up song that his mother used to sing, stating that it is the only thing he really remembers about her. \nThen exhausted and bewildered, Ryo finds himself on the floor of his room while his father is out on a job where it turns out to be the exact cabin where the gang was attacked. Gerald would investigate the scene and chat with a police officer before some federal agent looking dudes arrives and demands to take over the investigation. The agents could be the same guys who recruited the adult Ryo in the original anime and Gerald finds a piece of pink fur which causes him to arise suspicions.\nMeanwhile Bagi has snuck into Ryo's room and tended to a mentally exhausted Ryo by putting him on bed and gently dapping his forehead with a cold wet napkin, just to demonstrate how caring this seemingly horrifying monster really is. I also would write Bagi the same way as well, except she wouldn't behave like a sexualized being towards Ryo but more like a true childhood friend who has developed feelings for him. She would be around the same age as Ryo as well, stating that she was a toddler like Ryo but ran away when she couldn't hide herself anymore in order to protect the only family and friend who truly cared for her. She always knew that she was the only one of her kind, but she never knew her origins so she had wandered around the country trying to find a new home for her to be alone but she always found herself returning to Tokyo until she was confronted by Ryo and his gang. \nDespite his initial fears for Bagi, Ryo slowly realizes that his imaginary friend was in fact real and hugs her in order to comfort her. Then in a comedic dealbreaker, Scar and his friends would burst into the room and then freak out when they see Bagi snuggling against Ryo thinking that it is doing a scene from The Blob or some other horror movie until Ryo manages to calm everybody down after several attempts.\nScar and the gang are reluctant, mostly that she kicked their asses to which she only pushed them off their bikes and only wanted to defend herself before realizing that they were with Ryo and it is confirmed by a news report on TV by Gerald that the rival gang survived the attack. While the gang refuses to help Ryo and Bagi, Ryo states that Bagi isn't different from them and that she is lost and with no purpose on life which in a comedic effect the gang just rides off refusing to help them yet. \nNext morning while Ryo is serving Gerald breakfast, he asks him about Bagi. Gerald honestly explains that he found the poor kitten that he assumed was dyed in pink color by cruel people at a animal shelter in a small town near where the research facility his mother worked investigating the sudden deaths of animals by gunfire. He would try to investigate it further but he was restricted by the authorities. \nRyo and bagi figure that maybe they could find some answers there and after she struggles to put on a biker suit and helmet, complaining about her tail kind of hurts, Scar and the gang shows up again. Scar claims still that he didn't want to help but the other insisted but the gang claims that Scar insisted as well. Moved by their sentimenality, Ryo lets them join his quest while they are stalked by the agents from the crime scene.\nThey ride on their bikes to the small town, where the gang fuels up and gets snacks while investigating about the incident that happened years ago. Only Ryo manages to get answers since the gang seems to be untrustworthy by the people there, just to demonstrate how shortsighted people can be at each other. Ryo listens about the incident that involved several animals escaping from the research facility that his mother works at before they were hunted down and killed by armed people. The gang figure that they must've done some horrific experiments there, so they decide to call the news paper where Gerald works at while they will try to break into the facility and get video proof with a video camera. While the gang is into it, Bagi wonders if she really wants to know, and questions Ryo's true intentions if he really wants to help her or use her as a way to take out revenge on his mother who never really cared about him but she follows them nonetheless since she wants to protect Ryo and thus his friends as well.\nSo the gang manages to break into the facility with the gang displaying impressive skills like cutting off the circuit to the electric fence without setting of the alarms, tricking the infrared cameras with the help from Bagi. Once inside, they discover the horrific display of animal heads being kept alive with tubes and wiring, the cyborg animals and so on while they get everything on camera. They are confronted by the security guards by Peter being the usual wuss displays his courage by tackling them down with his body weight impressing Sis immensily. \nThen Ryo is confronted by his mother wearing a gun pointed at Bagi who recognises her somewhat. The gang are captured and brought in for questioning but they just pull the deliquent act on them refusing to say anything and Ryo just yells at his mother for being so cruel towards animals. His mother rubs it off with ease, claiming that her research is beneficial for mankind and reveals that Bagi was the best results from DNA splicing with fusing in human DNA into a mountain lion and proceeded to artificially developing the experiment using multiple subjects and shows Ryo and Bagi a room of failed subject a la the clone scene in Alien Resurrection causes Bagi to cry out in dispair and demands that the professor to stop but to no avail.\n“All for the greater good of mankind” she only exclaims calmly though it sould be shown that there is conflict in her. Then suddenly, the agents breaks into the facility stating that they will be taking over now much to the professor's confusion and dismay. The lead agent explains with the chief of the facility that the true purpose of these experiments were not to create vaccines or treatment for diabetes by combining DNA and stuff like that but to create vaponized creations for the government for a upcoming war against terrorism while one of the gang manages to keep the camera going thus getting proof on audio. \nBagi starts to transform into a feral state due to the chock and trauma after learning the truth that she is just a test tube baby and angrily frees herself from her restraints and brutally mauls some of the security. The gang manages to escape, while Ryo's mother tries to get around her head that her research was all for nothing but as weapon for war, demonstrating that there are people who can claim to create science to benefit mankind but in the end they would be no better than the ones who would exploit the science, kind of like Einstein and the nuclear weapons. \nThe research facility is slowly destroyed by Bagi's anger, killing most of the animals from their agony while the agents and scientists are confronted by Gerald and police officers with the video camera given by the gang. Ryo tries to stop Bagi from killing his mother but he is forced to shoot at her after getting slashed in the face by her claw causing her to escape. The professor and the others are arrested while Ryo tries to forgive his mother for commiting such atrocities but he can so far not see her as a mother yet but he is willing to try reconciling if she is willing as well.\nYears later, after a epilogue explaining the states of the characters like Gerald and the professor has gotten back together but decided to get a divorse since she realized how bad of a wife and mother she was while Gerald becomes a high selling novelist, Scar following his dream to become a manga artist, Peter and Sis ended up getting married and Monkey becoming a popular canditate in politics, Ryo graduates from school and college and leaves Japan for South America following a trail of various odd sightings based on witnesses seeing a weird pink lion. It would be revealed that Bagi has entered into complete feral state and while she never harmed any humans, several farms with cattles has been suffering great losses and no one has ever managed to find her so he figures that he should try to put her out of her misery but he wonders if he truly can as he sits on the porch of his house in peace while we see glowing eyes sadly studying him from the jungle.\nAnd that's how I would end it, in a more ambigious way of whether or not Ryo would hunt and kill Bagi or would he just keep a eye on her just in case she would become normal again. That would create a much bigger impact, seeing that Ryo may or may not have caused Bagi to become the true monster everyone saw her at first, displaying the wrongs of DNA combination being exploited by the wrong people and how lives can be ruined by the even most biggest intentions and ambitions. \nOf course, this is just a draft and could be filled in better but you have to admit that it would be a better anime if it were like this. \nOr maybe it would suck even worse, one may never know.", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "So as you may remember, I did a long review on Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature  and as you can recall, I didn't really care for it.

Then after that party, the gang hangs out at a shack that Scar found where they decide to just hang out for the night and have their turn at a bottle of sake but suddenly they are confronted by the same gang from the construction site and unlike before they are really threatening due to their own drunken state so they start to really bash the place with rocks with the intention of brutally beating up Ryo and his friend.
Then suddenly, Bagi bursts through the floor when the rival gang breaks into the house and really beats them up with cut and whips with her tail like a scene from a horror movie, making Ryo and his gang scatter in pure fright thinking that the monster is killing the gang. To make things worse, one of the rival gang members glomps Ryo with scars on his face crying “Heeeelp meeeeeee!!” before he is grabbed and thrown away by Bagi who was kept in the shadows before. The guy would not be dead, just in deep need of therapy and medical attention for months. Frightened to see a mysterious humanoid animal creature in front of him, Ryo falls on his butt and crawls back while Bagi tries to comfort him claiming that she never killed the gang but Ryo refuses to listen to him despite her calling his name and stating who she is.
Then in a homage to a more moving scene from Prince of Egypt, Bagi would tearfully sing a lullaby song that only Ryo would know about, making him calm down for a moment and stare at Bagi who shares a hopeful smile while tears runs down on her cheek. But Ryo makes a run for it on his bike while he experiences a traumatic living nightmare where he remembers Bagi when he was only a child. He had only assumed that Bagi was a imaginary friend based on a pet he had once, like most person would assume shown in the same way in the original flashbacks where Bagi displayed the more not so normal abilities like standing on her hind legs like a person and able to read and stuff like that but behave like a normal cat when his father were around and then Ryo sings a lullaby to Bagi based on a made up song that his mother used to sing, stating that it is the only thing he really remembers about her.
Then exhausted and bewildered, Ryo finds himself on the floor of his room while his father is out on a job where it turns out to be the exact cabin where the gang was attacked. Gerald would investigate the scene and chat with a police officer before some federal agent looking dudes arrives and demands to take over the investigation. The agents could be the same guys who recruited the adult Ryo in the original anime and Gerald finds a piece of pink fur which causes him to arise suspicions.
Meanwhile Bagi has snuck into Ryo's room and tended to a mentally exhausted Ryo by putting him on bed and gently dapping his forehead with a cold wet napkin, just to demonstrate how caring this seemingly horrifying monster really is. I also would write Bagi the same way as well, except she wouldn't behave like a sexualized being towards Ryo but more like a true childhood friend who has developed feelings for him. She would be around the same age as Ryo as well, stating that she was a toddler like Ryo but ran away when she couldn't hide herself anymore in order to protect the only family and friend who truly cared for her. She always knew that she was the only one of her kind, but she never knew her origins so she had wandered around the country trying to find a new home for her to be alone but she always found herself returning to Tokyo until she was confronted by Ryo and his gang.
Despite his initial fears for Bagi, Ryo slowly realizes that his imaginary friend was in fact real and hugs her in order to comfort her. Then in a comedic dealbreaker, Scar and his friends would burst into the room and then freak out when they see Bagi snuggling against Ryo thinking that it is doing a scene from The Blob or some other horror movie until Ryo manages to calm everybody down after several attempts.
Scar and the gang are reluctant, mostly that she kicked their asses to which she only pushed them off their bikes and only wanted to defend herself before realizing that they were with Ryo and it is confirmed by a news report on TV by Gerald that the rival gang survived the attack. While the gang refuses to help Ryo and Bagi, Ryo states that Bagi isn't different from them and that she is lost and with no purpose on life which in a comedic effect the gang just rides off refusing to help them yet.
Next morning while Ryo is serving Gerald breakfast, he asks him about Bagi. Gerald honestly explains that he found the poor kitten that he assumed was dyed in pink color by cruel people at a animal shelter in a small town near where the research facility his mother worked investigating the sudden deaths of animals by gunfire. He would try to investigate it further but he was restricted by the authorities.
Ryo and bagi figure that maybe they could find some answers there and after she struggles to put on a biker suit and helmet, complaining about her tail kind of hurts, Scar and the gang shows up again. Scar claims still that he didn't want to help but the other insisted but the gang claims that Scar insisted as well. Moved by their sentimenality, Ryo lets them join his quest while they are stalked by the agents from the crime scene.
They ride on  their bikes to the small town, where the gang fuels up and gets snacks while investigating about the incident that happened years ago. Only Ryo manages to get answers since the gang seems to be untrustworthy by the people there, just to demonstrate how shortsighted people can be at each other. Ryo listens about the incident that involved several animals escaping from the research facility that his mother works at before they were hunted down and killed by armed people. The gang figure that they must've done some horrific experiments there, so they decide to call the news paper where Gerald works at while they will try to break into the facility and get video proof with a video camera. While the gang is into it, Bagi wonders if she really wants to know, and questions Ryo's true intentions if he really wants to help her or use her as a way to take out revenge on his mother who never really cared about him but she follows them nonetheless since she wants to protect Ryo and thus his friends as well.
So the gang manages to break into the facility with the gang displaying impressive skills like cutting off the circuit to the electric fence without setting of the alarms, tricking the infrared cameras with the help from Bagi. Once inside, they discover the horrific display of animal heads being kept alive with tubes and wiring, the cyborg animals and so on while they get everything on camera. They are confronted by the security guards by Peter being the usual wuss displays his courage by tackling them down with his body weight impressing Sis immensily.
Then Ryo is confronted by his mother wearing a gun pointed at Bagi who recognises her somewhat. The gang are captured and brought in for questioning but they just pull the deliquent act on them refusing to say anything and Ryo just yells at his mother for being so cruel towards animals. His mother rubs it off with ease, claiming that her research is beneficial for mankind and reveals that Bagi was the best results from DNA splicing with fusing in human DNA into a mountain lion and proceeded to artificially developing the experiment using multiple subjects and shows Ryo and Bagi a room of failed subject a la the clone scene in Alien Resurrection causes Bagi to cry out in dispair and demands that the professor to stop but to no avail.
“All for the greater good of mankind” she only exclaims calmly though it sould be shown that there is conflict in her. Then suddenly, the agents breaks into the facility stating that they will be taking over now much to the professor's confusion and dismay. The lead agent explains with the chief of the facility that the true purpose of  these experiments were not to create vaccines or treatment for diabetes by combining DNA and stuff like that but to create vaponized creations for the government for a upcoming war against terrorism while one of the gang manages to keep the camera going thus getting proof on audio.
Bagi starts to transform into a feral state due to the chock and trauma after learning the truth that she is just a test tube baby and angrily frees herself from her restraints and brutally mauls some of the security. The gang manages to escape, while Ryo's mother tries to get around her head that her research was all for nothing but as weapon for war, demonstrating that there are people who can claim to create science to benefit mankind but in the end they would be no better than the ones who would exploit the science, kind of like Einstein and the nuclear weapons.
The research facility is slowly destroyed by Bagi's anger, killing most of the animals from their agony while the agents and scientists are confronted by Gerald and police officers with the video camera given by the gang. Ryo tries to stop Bagi from killing his mother but he is forced to shoot at her after getting slashed in the face by her claw causing her to escape. The professor and the others are arrested while Ryo tries to forgive his mother for commiting such atrocities but he can so far not see her as a mother yet but he is willing to try reconciling if she is willing as well.
Years later, after a epilogue explaining the states of the characters like Gerald and the professor has gotten back together but decided to get a divorse since she realized how bad of a wife and mother she was while Gerald becomes a high selling novelist, Scar following his dream to become a manga artist, Peter and Sis ended up getting married and Monkey becoming a popular canditate in politics, Ryo graduates from school and college and leaves Japan for South America following a trail of various odd sightings based on witnesses seeing a weird pink lion. It would be revealed that Bagi has entered into complete feral state and while she never harmed any humans, several farms with cattles has been suffering great losses and no one has ever managed to find her so he figures that he should try to put her out of her misery but he wonders if he truly can as he sits on the porch of his house in peace while we see glowing eyes sadly studying him from the jungle.
And that's how I would end it, in a more ambigious way of whether or not Ryo would hunt and kill Bagi or would he just keep a eye on her just in case she would become normal again. That would create a much bigger impact, seeing that Ryo may or may not have caused Bagi to become the true monster everyone saw her at first, displaying the wrongs of DNA combination being exploited by the wrong people and how lives can be ruined by the even most biggest intentions and ambitions.
Of course, this is just a draft and could be filled in better but you have to admit that it would be a better anime if it were like this.
