    Terrible

    I saw this with a friend and we were terribly disappointed when we saw this. The running time is an hour, felt like less though. The animation was decent. Its about a bunch of alien vampires that come to earth to perpetuate their species. Whatever you do, DO NOT get the dubbed version. If you're an avid anime fan, you know that sub is best. (not true for some, but for most). If your looking for the best interpretation than fan sub is the best way to go.

    Very good, but not great for an Anime

    Kimera is a fairly good piece of Anime, but a short one (It clocks in at just an hour). Without giving away to much of the plot line, it deals with alien vampires, and the men who love them (really, I kid you not). It also adds an interesting spin on the Roswell "incident". If you're an Anime fan, you will definatly want to check it out. It will probably keep you entertained, although it dosen't measure up to the Anime greats.

    It's a mess, but a somewhat enjoyable one

    Androgynous vampires from outer space. What more could you want?

    The first half is great. The second half makes no sense. I partly blame the horribly subtitled version I watched, but even with a better translation, it would still feel very rushed.

    But you know what? I still enjoyed this for what it is.
