Shihaisha no Tasogare

The animation was weak for 1997, reminding of anime from the 70's, but the story itself was ridiculous. There are two factions, both working under the radar of ordinary humans, but employing them for their purposes. One uses demons, the other hunts them. In the end, the bosses of the two factions clash and one of them wins.

The entire thing lasts 45 minutes, way too little to call it a film and too much to call it an episode in some anime. The fact that the characters seemed to share some background and backstory only adds to the confusion of this rushed little animation experiment.

In other circumstances, I would have called this a good attempt, but decades have passed from a moment like that. For something from 1997, the animation was clunky, the story simplistic and there wasn't even enough violence or gore to justify the whole thing. A failure, I would say.

I found out about this movie when I watch the Ninja Scroll previews on vhs, the trailer looked amazing, so I spent $20 on it on eBay and was excited to watch it.

Some positives are the sound track and the dark late 90s tone to the movie, the animation is nice and sound effects were great.

But the story was so beyond rushed the character development wasn't there like you wanted to feel for the characters but couldn't no matter how hard you tried, and the fight scenes had so much potential and almost every fight was a huge let down all rushed and one fight was literally skipped completely. The movie could've easily been 2 hours or even a two part series. The movie itself felt like a huge trailer for the actual movie.

I'd still recommend it to people for the simple fact of the potential it had.

Twilight is an extremely well draw anime. It features great artwork and scenery(very reminscent of Blade Runner). Twilight does well with character development and plot advancement, even though it clocks in at only 53 mins. All in all a good solid anime.

The classic 90s animation feel, a pretty straight forward plot. The action scenes are a few but quite memorable. Also, one could correlate the hero's ability with this of Col. Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist, makes you wonder on the influence between the creators.

Interesting cyberpunk version of The Guyver, but where is the rest of the story?
