"Decadence-Anger-Conspiracy-Lust-Money-Crime-Innocence-Death"
Picked up a new Anime last night, devoured it, and was quite pleased :0
Supernatural upper class elitist deviants try to force a captured goddess to awaken their inner demons, a snarky war/tabloid photographer happens to get bestowed a sacred gift by accident, and gets involved trying to save the confused and helpless girl.
Includes Uber Kick ass Detective/Officer chickie all "Self Defense" Killing spree action cool, combined with awesome psychotic elastic Voldo-esque Villian makes for a neat quirky film....granted the camera of doom will take some getting used to....
Not for everyone, definite fan service on the directors 1st release box version. Art/Graphics are good, some sloppy stills with lips moving, but its becoming a norm in a lot of anime...
Worth a viddie: 4.75 out 5 (re-rated)
"To the one I love...Prepare to die."
Yet another treasure for the collection that leaves a mixed emotion...
Along the lines of Ninja Scroll.....and beyond; with the monstrous uber extreme Ninja Clan Fued to the Death....
Not as good as Scroll, but the art is crisp, colorful, however it must be listened to in Japanese otherwise the voiceovers are out of character....
Episode 1 is classic, rivalry to the very end
#1 Comes in a Limited Edition Wooden Storage case to add to its collector goodness....
Disk 1 start out strong at a 3.75, and ends flat:
I give this one a let down....
Gruesome Goodness
So Very glad to have found a collector's boxed version of Elfin Lied
for only $10 at Lizzy's last place of employ
Not for the squeamish!!
Considering that there is a decapitation or amputation
every other minute across each episode :)
Nothing like a high body count
and who could argue with a
cutie, schitzoid mutant catgirl
with telekinetic limbs of slaughter....
Worth a Definite Vidie 4.5 outta 5....
I'm not kidding, this ain't for everyone.....but Skippy you'll love it :)
