      Utterly absurd

      Um, so another reviewer is describing the storyline of this movie as "fairly straightforward". Actually it is fairly ridiculous. The lead character is a doctor who randomly gets a prophecy that he is the Chosen One to fight off demons who have been sleeping (?) for 5,000 years. Then he goes back in the past 5,000 years to kill the demons who were around then too. When he comes back to the future, I guess he just missed some demons or something because they're still around. A lot of demon battles happen. The only notable scene in the movie is when he punches a demon in the nuts and it hops around hooting and hollering. However, this is the only joke in the entire OVA. The rest of the OVA is completely deadpan and horribly bad. I'm giving it 1 extra star because it has high camp value, but you probably have to get drunk first.

      Some good artwork

      One can hardly improve on Brian Camp's summary and analysis (the only one here of this writing), so here are just a few additional observations.

      This is the only tale in my experience with a physician as a superhero.

      The story is rather simple, tending toward the Saturday morning cartoon, limited no doubt by the short length of the work.

      The animation, too, is generally primitive by today's anime standards, but there are occasional flashes of brilliance, which alone make this worth watching.

      This was shown on American TV during the SciFi Channel's Monday night anime block in a one hour time slot with commercials, with a rating of TV-14-S,V.
