    A true Manga Classic

    This is a true Manga Classic and when you watch now it seems amazing that this a purely hand animated movie made over 10 years ago. The story is excellent and the fight scenes are beautifully executed. People often think of Akira when talking about Manga classics, but this is an equally wonderful film. I feel that the animated sex scenes are unecessary but Manga animatord will be Manga animators.

    So see this timeless animated classic and enjoy animation as it should be.

    Trash Hentai

    Fine if you want animated porn. But why would anybody? Story ridiculous, artwork uninspired, ludicrous violence, characters have no depth - that's the better points. Some little boys will giggle and tell their friends all the gory details but those of us even remotely grown up are best giving it a wide bearth. Great anime is one of the finest things in the world. There has to be a bottom of the heap though and this is pretty near there.
