七福神
Along with "Office Lady Love Juice", the film became something of a symbol of the rift between the older "pinku shitenno" ("Four Heavenly Kings" or "Four Devils") group of "pink film" directors and the younger "shichifukujin" ("Seven Lucky Gods"). Yūji Tajiri's "Office Lady Love Juice" beat "Anarchy in Japansuke" for the top spot at the Pink Grand Prix. The older Zeze had been a vocal critic of the younger directors' films which avoided the experimentation and politically charged messages which characterize the work of the "shitenno". Calling the "shichifukujin"'s films "weak" and "light", Zeze engaged in a spat with Tajiri on the stage of the awards ceremony. Jasper Sharp writes that the scuffle was mainly a staged controversy for the benefit of the audience, as no real personal animosity exists between the two groups of directors. The younger group all gained their first film-making experiences by working on films of the older directors.
