What happens

Angel Guts (Japanese: 天使のはらわた, Hepburn: Tenshi no Harawata) is a six-film series of pink films produced between 1978 and 1994. Nikkatsu oversaw production of the majority of the series. In accordance with the "pink film" genre, the prevalent theme in the series is sex, but violence is also featured prominently in the films. Angel Guts is based on the manga series written by Takashi Ishii, who also directed the fifth and sixth films in the series. In a public comment on the series, director Noboru Tanaka pointed out the various directorial styles exhibited in the films: "...all five versions are different. Mine is very energetic and it looks like you could burn yourself if you touch it, whilst the others are calmer and gentler. I think the audience shouldn't be bored by this series of films."
