Manages to transform into variations of things like Hellraiser and A Matter of Life and Death, except anime.
The first greatest thing is the (eventual) protagonist, Kawamata, who has the biggest mf bug eyes I’ve ever seen and everyone acts like it’s normal.
One of the deaths administered by the proverbial anime cenobite results in a floating carcass wrapped in the American flag.
The bad ass defense attorney busts out a straight juice box, takes a sip, and then utters the line, “They’re the ten kings of the underworld.”
The aforementioned ten kings of the underworld receive individual names and images. Major props for that.
The pulse of this is dumb but they end up committing a surprising amount to the bit. The violence isn’t even extraordinarily memorable, but it’s still trying. Who knew I needed some kind of psychic battle of court arguments visualized by anime flair.
Not particularly good, but particularly fun.
