Lost THX "Tex" Trailer: A Nippon Animation DVD Boxset

Do you believe that I am done talking about THX boxsets, since it's been a while? Unfortunately, not yet. There is another DVD boxset that I'd like to explain to you.

It involved an anime company known as Nippon Animation.

You see, it all started when I was at a restaurant known as The Old Spaghetti Factory with my dad and my 2 brothers. My meal included spaghetti topped with tomato sauce, a side of a chicken breast and a glass of water as my drink.

As soon as I finished my meal, I decided to head into the bathroom since I felt a bit stuffed and wanted to save my stomach for dessert.

Right before I entered the men's restroom, my foot stepped on something that felt like cardboard. I looked down and saw yet another THX boxset.

The cover consisted of the March sisters, Anne Shirley (As seen in the 1979 Anne of Green Gables show), the Robinson family and Mowgli in a brown background. The boxset was titled "Nippon Animation: The Ultimate THX Collection".

"Looks interesting, but what's up with TV shows being THX certified?" I questioned.

While the rest of my family were eating, I went outside of the restaurant and asked if anyone knows about this boxset. Luckily, I did get a response from a man who said that he found it in his office at work one day. But then he said I could take it for free.

I was happy to receive the boxset to add to my collection, but there was a problem. There is likely another lost trailer DVD stored in here.

Later that night when I got home, I brought the boxset to my room and placed it on my shelf. I figured I should check it out tomorrow just to see what this DVD boxset was about.

The next morning, my dad told me that he and my older brother would be going to his church to help out with decorating for Christmas. My little brother, on the other hand would be spending the day at my mom's place.

As soon as they left, I took out the DVD's that were in the boxset. Most of them were DVD's of the shows dubbed in English, and it seemed that most of the DVD's looked like they were re-released to be THX certified.

And then, I noticed yet another extra DVD inside the boxset. The cover is nothing special, as it just had just the THX logo and Nippon Animation logo. The DVD was titled "The Rare THX Trailer Made By Nippon Animation".

There was also an E rating, as in exempt from classification. And it rather baffled me, given that some of these shows should be centered around TV-Y.

But to get that silly rating issue out of my head, I proceeded to place the DVD into my DVD player. It didn't begin with any logos, likely cause there was never an opening logo for Nippon Animation.

It took me to a language menu. The options were rather similar to an image of a DVD menu I looked at a long time ago. The languages included English, French, Spanish, Japanese, German, Italian and Dutch.

I selected English and it displayed a montage of shows that were featured like Tales of Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, Swiss Family Robinson and The Jungle Book. As soon as the montage finished, it went to the menu.

It showed the characters including Tex in a green background while being in a line. The menu options included Play, Scene Selection, Set Up and Bonus Features, just like on all those other rare DVD's I came across.

I pressed play on the DVD menu and it took me to a warning once again. It read:

"This THX trailer was made to promote "As The Gods Will" despite it not being THX certified. It contains scenes of graphic nature, violence, murder and blood. It must not be viewed by children or people with mental issues. Watch this trailer at your own risk!"

"Great, just great!" I muttered.

The trailer first started with a shot of the March family home from Tales of Little Women. Just like with the Pixar THX trailer Rohan encountered, it panned into one of the rooms of the house.

Meg and Mary were watching Beth play the piano as Amy was drawing some pictures. Jo was walking up the stairs to inform her family about something.

Jo first walked in saying, “Mom, Meg, Beth, Amy? Can I state something?”

Meg then asked, “What’s the matter Jo?”

Jo said, “There’s a crazy psychopath lurking somewhere here in Gettysburg. So we must stay inside today and throughout the rest of the evening.”

Amy laughed and then she said, “Oh Jo, you’re so dumb, I don't think psychopaths have never existed.”

Jo angrily replied, “I’m not dumb Amy, one of my friends told me all about it. As a matter of fact, one of them was killed by it!”

All of a sudden, Beth asked, “Is something burning, or am I imagining?”

Just then, a portal opened up resembling hell. “Oh nooooo!” Beth shouted.

Jo gasped at the sight of Beth’s death and said “He’s here!”

Amy shouted, “He sure is! Look out the window over here!”

They looked at it and saw Tex. He then began to break the window with an axe and the March family screamed. Tex then began to point at Amy saying, “You there, yellow hair. Why did you burn Jo’s novel?”

Jo then interrupted by saying, “That doesn’t matter! What matters is for you to get out. You killed one of my friends. Now get out of here before I get super mad!”

Tex then said, “Well then, time for all of you to die!”

He then went over to Meg. Like in that lost episode of Caillou entitled “Family Secrets”, he stabbed Meg in the back and she had her spine ripped out.

As I could tell, Jo had run out of the room to hide somewhere to be safe from Tex.

Amy began to hide in her bedroom by hiding under her bed. Tex then knocked on the door and said, “Don’t bother locking your door and hiding under your bed, as I’m going to kill you!” Tex then took an axe and began chopping down the door.

He then said, “Amy, I’m home!”

All of a sudden, he took out a pipe bomb and put it under Amy’s bed. It exploded in the progress. Tex went on to kill Mary March by attacking her with a wooden spear.

After that, he decided to finally go after Jo March. He was carrying the same tools from the first lost THX trailer. Jo was in her room in tears worrying about how she was probably going to die. Only her tears looked like they were made with a sketchpad website.

She was hiding in her bedroom and she was being as quiet as she could. Just then, Tex appeared outside.

He tried to open the door which happened to be locked. Jo then ran over to the closet when she heard it and shut it tight.

Tex then got the idea of busting the door open with all his strength. Once he approached Jo, he said, "You can't hide nor run from me. Prepare to die!"

He pulled out a chainsaw, but before it could make contact with Jo, the screen cut to black while Jo screamed realistically almost as if her actor, Heidi Lenhart was being tortured badly.

But that wasn't the trailer just yet.

It then showed a shot of a lake from the 1979 Anne of Green Gables series. Anne Shirley was skipping some stones into the lake while humming.

She then got up and said, "Marilla and Matthew must be waiting for me back at home, and it's getting pretty late."

Before she could even walk away, an evil chuckle appeared out of nowhere as if it were Tex laughing.

"Um, Gilbert, if that's you, I don't think it's funny!" Anne called out.

Suddenly, Tex dropped down in front of her like a jumpscare. Anne Shirley gasped in shock seeing the red robot.

"Is-is th-that a robot?" Anne said while still feeling scared.

"Yes indeed, copycat Anne Shirley! I am a robot!" Tex replied.

"What? I am not a copycat. What do you mean by copycat?" Anne angrily said to Tex.

"Well, there was another person with your name that I killed a long time ago. And now I am in the mood to kill another one." Tex said.

Tex then pulled out a shotgun. Anne screamed when she saw it and began running away. Tex then chased after her. Soon, both Tex and Anne found themselves in a forest.

Before Anne could say her last words, a rock was thrown at Tex.

"Hey, you want to mess with her, you're gonna have to mess with me first!" Diana shouted.

"Diana, thank goodness you're here!" Anne said in a happy manner.

"Well now she won't be here once I do this!" Tex said, before stabbing Diana in the heart with a sword. Diana let out a blood curdling scream as this happened, but it was so loud that I covered my ears.

However, as soon as the scream ended and I uncovered my ears, I noticed that blood had come out of them.

I paused the trailer and went to the bathroom to clean myself up. When I came back, I played the rest of the trailer. At this point, Diana was officially killed by Tex as lots of blood came out.

During this scene, Anne cried in a realistic way as if the actor for her was having a really terrible day. Like with some other trailers I have seen, I felt really sorry for Anne Shirley.

Tex then walked up in front of her and said, "Stop crying about it! You shouldn't have even come out here in the first place."

He pulled out the same sword from earlier and said "Get ready for your circle of life to end, Shirley!"

When he said that, it sounded like it was copied and pasted from that Tex & Zurg trailer that Rohan encountered. Anyway, rather than stabbing Anne in the heart, he instead stabbed her through the mouth.

Anne and Diana were dead. Tex then flew away, but again, it wasn't over.

It then showed the ocean from The Swiss Family Robinson. Rebecca and Jack were busy rowing the boat before Ernest Robinson (The father of the family) decided to make an announcement.

"Okay family, listen up! We must protect ourselves today. Recently, it's been rumored that some psychopath has been going around killing a lot of people. But do not panic, we'll all stay together if it finds us!" Ernest remarked.

Just then, the Robinson family began hearing evil laughter. Rebecca got scared when she heard it.

"It's okay sweetheart, you're safe with us." Ernest said to Rebecca.

"Okay father!" Rebecca replied.

Not long after, the family saw Tex in front of them. Apparently he was carrying a pumpkin bomb and a hammer.

"Hey there castaways, I heard you're looking for a home! Well I'll give you one, it's all the way in hell!" Tex said.

"Get away from my family you red psychopath!" Ernest shouted.

"Rebecca, Jack, quick, get us out of here!" Anna (The mother of the family) shouted.

"Yes mother!" Rebecca replied.

However, before they could sail away, Tex grabbed Jack and took him into the sky.

"Oh no, the robot has our son!" Ernest shouted.

Rebecca thought of an idea. She proceeded to swim underwater to find a rock to throw at Tex. Once she rose back up and got back on the boat, she threw the rock at Tex. Tex's head span as this happened and Jack began falling out of his hands.

Anna was able to catch Jack in the process.

"Okay, that does it! Say your prayers castaways!" Tex shouted.

He then threw the bomb from earlier and the family became nothing but skeletons and the boat had been completely demolished.

The screen went to black for 3 seconds. And then it showed the jungle from The Jungle Book. Mowgli was telling about Baloo and Bagheera about the latest wolf pack meeting.

Then, out of the blue, Tex's laughter was heard.

"Did you hear that?" Baloo asked.

"Yep, I heard that noise. It sounds like evil laughter." Mowgli replied.

"What do you think it is?" Bagheera asked.

Tex then dropped down in front of Mowgli, Bagheera and Baloo as the main 3 gasped in shock.

"Hey there jungle friends! Prepare for the jungle to be demolished!" Tex said.

"Nobody will do any harm to this jungle!" Mowgli shouted.

Tex then pulled out a spear and stabbed Baloo and Bagheera through the neck. Meanwhile, Mowgli began to make a run for it, but Tex would soon notice him and began a chase sequence.

However, Mowgli was soon distracted by Tex chasing him, and he got hit by a tree.

Later on, Mowgli landed near some grass.

"Say hello to my little alligator friend!" Tex said.

The alligator then proceeded to eat Mowgli by every part of the human body. As soon as Mowgli was dead, the screen cut to black. And then the THX logo from the Moo Can trailer appeared.

The head of Fumio Kurokawa can be seen on the top of the THX logo while I could see that there were some blood stains seen on the floor. And then the screaming deep note came in like it would. The screams belonged to many characters like Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, Mary March, Anne Shirley, Diana Barry, Rebecca, Ernest and just about everyone who was featured in the trailer.

As soon as the deep note finished, Tex dropped down like a jumpscare. He went on to say his speech.

"Konichiwa Nippon Animation fans, the evil Sexy Texy has killed your favorite characters, and for a good reason. They have disrespected me and my company. I also took the head of their creator before I met these people. Now remember this TV viewers, if you ever fear me, my company, or what I have done to your favorite characters, the T-Man will find where you live. Pleasant dreams and to all a bad night!"

Tex proceeded to push the button on his chest and flew off into the sky laughing in an evil tone. The famous slogan came onto the screen and it said "The Audience Is Listening".

It then faded to a black screen for 10 seconds. I couldn't believe what I had seen. I proceeded to get up to eject the DVD, but right when I was about to, the trailer showed one last thing.

It showed a demented picture of Jo March from the Tales of Little Women episode "Skating On Thin Ice" where she was about to cry after hearing that Amy had burned her novel.

However, her eyes were red with purple dots and she had blood coming out of her eyes and mouth. It was accompanied by a slow and distorted version of a female's scream along with a slow version of the jumpscare sound from Five Nights At Wario's 3.

I fell back in shock seeing the terrifying jumpscare. It then took me back to the menu as soon as the jumpscare ended. I was shocked by the content on the DVD that I immediately took it out.

But before I thought about smashing the DVD, I put it back in the DVD player and took a few screenshots.

I had some thoughts of showing the DVD to my dad and older brother, but they wouldn't believe me in the beginning.

Well, I've got to get going, so the only thing I have to say is to never encounter a THX boxset or THX trailer DVD, as it is something that Kennington likely made.
