Commentary

From the creator of "Vampire Hunter D" and "Demon City Shinjuku" comes the worst piece of @#$ to take a bite out of my wallet- 83 minutes of my life and $30 I won't ever see again.

It's a stylish production set in a similar future-past setting to "Vampire Hunter D" and with a leading character who looks a lot like D. Nothing really interesting happens and then its over. Painfully slow. But, in all fairness- the cover art on the box is really cool. In fact, the cover art was what sold me on this title.

I used to have this on subtitled VHS. Needless to say, but, I'll say it anyway. There's no way that I'll ever even think about having this title on DVD. It is interesting to note that CPM changed the cover art since I purchased this title on VHS.
