What a nothing burger this was. Here in the states, it was billed as “the next Ninja Scroll”, despite being released a few years prior (and in 1990 at that, right when Japan’s economic bubble burst) and fundamentally inferior on every front. More reliant on gratuitous sex and gore and less on the plot, and the plot threads it DOES bring up are never expanded upon. Oh, and the animation is choppy, too. It’s far too short and ends abruptly.
