Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 25 Average rating: 3.5 "Short but very sweet" ..With plenty of gore to boot! I like this film a lot, because its good anime, action packed and has a good plot. Anybody who likes Ghost In The Shell or Zieram will like this one. "Um, lets see, uh how should I put this?" Wait I know (it's no good). To some extent this is a fairly alright film. It's not even a full length film though. For crying out loud it's only 45 minutes, bairly qualifies as an animated short. The story for this feature revolves around 2 scientist who pursue, study and eventually exterminate specific specimines of this organism called the Demon Virus. Much like cancer it spreads throughout the body killing the host, however the tumors that they look like are these deformed looking faces that are very vicouse (as seen in the beggining). One fo the scientist however has the Demon Virus in him yet due to his incredibly powerful immune system he can control the virus and transform into this weird looking werewolf bug thingy. Eventually they hunt down a host who is to be the next prime minister and has a taste for beutiful young women flesh and liver. This is one of those animes that are for diehard fans only. If you are just starting to get into the stuff I recommend watching either Akira, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, or Vampire Hunter D. Hold off on this if you are just getting started. "Woth a Five" I like this anime quite a bit. If you like animes like Wicked City & Vampire Hunder D, (The serious, dark feeling kind) than I think you will find this anime to be quite pleasurable. It's slightly short (1 hour), but is long enouph to satisfy your yurning. Definitely worth owning. "Sweet Movie just a little short" Two men are trying to fight off a demon virus going around. The only thing is that one of them is infected with it, but this isn't a fault it is actually used to there advantage. This Movie has a good plot but the only fault and the reason i give this 4 stars if because of its length. This movie is only 45 minutes long. Oh and it is also made by the people who created ninja scroll and wicked city so you know it will be full of blood, gore, violence, and nudity. So be forewarned keep children away from this movie. Well Enjoy. "more like a strong 3.5 stars" Komada and Koshigaya are biologist battling with humans that are infected with a virus that turns them into demons. One cool twist is Komada is infected with the virus buts seems to be able to fight the virus off just enough to keep his human emotions intact when he sometimes transforms into a demon himself,this helps Koshigaya alot sence his just a scientist battling demons. Overall it was a pretty good idea with a simple plot.The picture quality was o.k. and the dolby 5.1 sounded more like pro logic 2.0 Go ahead pick this up you won't be dissapointed, but do notice the anime only last 60 min.
