Dudes will see this and just go, "hell yeah!"
This is like a hyper distilled work of Ninja Scroll. Turn Tessai (the stone immortal dude) into a Violence Jack-looking ninja killer and make the whole movie him versus ninjas. With no shortage of decapitations and severed limbs, you're guaranteed to cheer in the deluge of bloodshed. And just for good measure, sprinkle some absurd futurism a la Riki-Oh 2 with an introductory army of galactic guns, the main bad resurrected via alien tech, and make sure to show his Terminator skull at the end.
This is for those of us raised on vintage anime hyper violence and never tire of injecting that numbskull teenager testosterone into our veins. To think this actually came out a year prior to Ninja Scroll is kinda mind melting. Maybe it's just the overabundance of absurdity and lack of any real story that held this back from gaining any traction. But if you do like Ninja Scroll, I can't imagine this not being a hoot-hollering good time. Plus no problematic rape stuff which is always nice in my older age.
