A folklore professor becomes unwittingly possessed by the ancient Japanese demons of Thunder and Lightning. But when The Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense dispatches a team of agents to investigate, a cursed samurai sword sends Hellboy to a supernatural dimension of ghosts, monsters, and feudal mayhem. Now while pyrokinetic Liz Sherman and fishboy Abe Sapien battle one very pissed-off dragon, a lost and cranky Hellboy must find his way home.

Hellboy Animated: Sword of Storms
I tried watching this like three times and even though it has the same art style as Spectacular Spider-Man which I love, it just wasn't enough for me to sit through more than five minutes of this without falling asleep. I really want to properly watch this but I just don't understand what is happening at all. Then again, maybe I should stop putting this on at midnight when I'm really tired. Is this a me problem? No. I'm blaming the film.

I have not read or watched any hellboy media in a while, so I thought it would be fun to revisit this character once again, since he is so darn peak.
This movie was ok, nothing really special...felt kinda long for some reason. I loved the animation style tho. the mid 2000's had so cool 2D animation styles.
I rate 7/10

I watched this because of Seth Cohen.

It was fairly entertaining. I really liked the Japanese monsters he faced but it did kinda get predictable and repetitive. Nonetheless I was entertained and it was fun - also I think I might like comic book adaptations.
