''Cho Aniki'' ("Super Big Brother") is a series of side-scrolling ShootEmUps originally produced by Creator/{{NCS}} (although there was a later shift of designers). Gameplay is pretty conventional and a lot like ''VideoGame/{{Darius}}''. Really, the series only has one claim to fame:

* WidgetSeries: [[BeyondTheImpossible Whoooaaa Nelly.]]

''Cho Aniki'' ("Super Big Brother") is a series of side-scrolling ShootEmUps (mostly) made by Masaya and produced by NCS Corp (although there was a later shift of designers). Gameplay is pretty conventional and a lot like ''VideoGame/{{Darius}}''. Really, the series only has one claim to fame:

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Averted of all things. Benten is a fairly recurring character in the series, and has been playable along with Idaten in three of the shooters and the fighting game spinoff. The fighting game also has Mami, though she's a battleship carrying tiny naked men.

Still, for the love of God, read [[http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/sexual-games/10.php this]] and discover just how bizarre the whole thing is. You won't believe us if we just tell you. (Note, however, that there's a small error: what they call the first game is actually the second. The first featured similar imagery, but the leads were the more standard action-game hero type Idaten and the ''female'' Benten - Samson and Adon were [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch defecting aliens]] who served as option characters in the original game and went on to have bigger roles in subsequent games.)

* AscendedExtra: Adon and Samson zig-zag this, being option-type characters in some games (the first game) and the main characters in others (''Ai Cho Aniki'')

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Averted of all things–there are two female characters, although admittedly one is also a battleship carrying tiny naked men.

Playing ''Cho Aniki'' is a journey through a long, bizarre psychosexual dream, featuring the main character Samson, a musclebound bodybuilder with a hole in his head that he shoots bullets out of, and such recurring characters as Adam, a giant naked man in a saucer that looks like a moon.

''Cho Aniki'' ("Super Big Brother") is a series of side-scrolling ShootEmUps (mostly) made by Masaya and produced by NCS Corp (although there was a recent shift of designers). Gameplay is pretty conventional and a lot like ''VideoGame/{{Darius}}''. Really, the series only has one claim to fame:

* ''Cho Aniki: Kyuukyoku Muteki Ginga Saikyou Otoko'' (1995, Playstation/Saturn)

* ExcusePlot: Generally has to do with protein powder, although in ''Seinaru Protein Densetsu'', you're playing as a blob of unspecified protein...ThatCameOutWrong.
