    Dark, Buzzzzzz

    Yes, this has the typical women-torn-in-twain ugliness. It is definitely NOT a kiddie-friendly romp. But it is a fine bit of adult japanimation. I was turned onto these three by the woman who ran the local family-owned video store. She highly recommended it, as do I.

    A profoundly creepy production. Dark. Full of foreboding.

    So, if you're looking for a thoughtful, creepy flick. This is it!

    This film is a lot of sensationalist and sexist shod. The animation is technically admirable, yet it fails to redeem the fact that the presence of any plot is merely an attempt to justify the depiction of absolute ruination of adolescent Japanese schoolgirls by beasts from the abyss, who all, incidentally, have multiple metropolis-wasting members.

    Straight up...

    This is one h*lluva bad*ss movie, if you are a fan of manga & love animated blood, gore & s*x - then all I gotta say is find this movie & watch it immediately...believe me when I say that your jaw will be on the ground well before the final credits role...

    one of the most entertaining movies ever.

    The first 3 Episodes, which the most people outside japan know as Urotsukidoji 1 Legend of the Overfiend, are together 1 movie like no other. It is mind blowing, and everybody who is blocked in his inner walls and morals will have very big difficulty in understanding the complete power of this movie. I love movies now already for years but this movie was bigger than everything I saw before. It is a modern art movie for me, of course the production was limited in view of financial affairs. It is sure not a quality made movie like big productions of disney or akira, ghost in the shell, but beside of this problem it is a epic movie which mixes nearly all genres. It is Horror, Action, Erotic, Hardcore Porn, Splatter,Fantasy, but also Drama and Tragedy. It is also very emotional and a Love Story with a end full of tragedy. All this happens inside a great Story in only about 2 hours +. It is sure not for children, and I understand if women have also a problem with this movie, but for open minded people it can be a experience like no other. The cut version which has a running time of 106 min., is not really worse than the uncut version, because the most missing parts are the hardcore porn parts, which are not that important. But anyway I recommend the uncut version. Unlimited Movie Entertainment.

    I love these movies!!!!

    I can only say one thing. I'm a big fan of these movies. The thing i like is the way how the director makes his movies. I like many animated movies because they are special from other movies i think.
