A lot of people knock this video, claiming it's one of the worst experiences you could have next to being water-boarded.
I completely disagree.
Yes, the animation is not up to otaku standards, but then again, if you're even considering this, you're probably not true otaku anyways.
Yes, it's incredibly bizarre, but in a cartoony Mad-Magazine-by-way-of-Penthouse kinda way. And that's not a bad thing.
Yes, the dialog is incredibly bad, but that's the entire point. It's just like a porno, just animated. Besides, how many movies do you get where the Doctor threatens to put something (remember, it's a hentai video, so you can guess what it was) into a patient's mouth, only to be reminded by his nurse that he already did that? Or the Doctor's landlord demanding he live up to his sex-for-rent arrangement and pay all 61 days in arrears in one night--and subsequently offering him the opportunity to pay the next month's "rent" in advance? Or a non-orgasmic patient lamenting that the only sexual practices left for her are those that are "legally prohibited?"
The sight gags alone are worth the price of admission. The Doctor crying and hugging his penis (which is also crying) when he can't get it up. Nurse Tatase braying like a horse, followed by a real horse with the Doctor's voice in a porno version of "Freaky Friday." A graphic illustration of the nurse's technique for bringing a patient to orgasm for the first time. The same patient finally achieving orgasm and yelling "Japanese Fireman"! (You have to know a little bit about Japanese firemen to get that last sight gag.) And my personal favorite, the Doctor and his nurse trying to help the aforementioned non-orgasmic patient using increasingly bizarre methods (including some of the previously mentioned "legally prohibited" practices, here wisely "censored.")
So, in short, I highly recommend "Ogenki Clinic Adventures." Just be aware that this is not a realistic depiction of sex.

This movie was my first introduction into the non-cute side of anime. Previous to that, I thought all anime was stuff like "Urusei Yatsura" and "Ranma." A lot of people have called this a bad "Alien" knock-off, but you know what? That's not such a bad thing to be. Besides, how can you basically tell the story well when you're limited to 45 minutes? If anything, if the producers were to make this a longer feature, it would definitely help.
I also found the "God-as-avenging-angel" aspect to be interesting, and I really wish they had gone into that angle more, but again, when you're limited to less than an hour, some things just have to go by the wayside.
I also would have liked to find out more about the private sins each character was hiding. We only had a vague idea in some cases (the station commander betrayed a friend, Norman left his friend behind to be eaten by some galactic space slug, etc.), but a little more information wouldn't hurt--especially when they didn't even go into why the creature spared Buzz.
Even so, with all its flaws, "Roots Search" is at worst an average anime feature, certainly not the "Ishtar" of anime that people make it out to be. There are live-action films with longer running times with even less thoughtfulness.
