This
is possibly the most beautifully animated anime I've
seen to date. The backgrounds feature such
distinct detail and design that, at times, it looks like
a live action film. Adding to this illusion is the
way the film is "shot." The angles, segues
and style is that of a live action film.
Unfortunately, the all-to-short length of the film
coupled with its tendency to drag at some points sunk it
down a few points by my estimation.
The
film is about a seemingly young female vampire.
She is the last original vampire in the
world. She is an agent of a mysterious
organization sent to destroy the bestial vampires
terrorizing a U.S. Air Force base in Yokota Japan on the
brink of the Vietnam War.
All in all, the characters and plot are interesting
and offer the potential for a well-developed and
enthralling story, but instead we are given a 48 minute
glimpse into who these characters are and the danger
that they face. There is no character development,
barely a story arc, and yet it still manages to drag
whenever the action slows down.
I
hate to say it, but frankly this is not a very good
anime, but it's interesting characters and incredible
artwork makes it an anime masterpiece and a must see for
any anime fan. I still like the film, own it, and
watch it every few months or so and I do recommend it to
almost anyone who can handle the graphic, gory violence;
however the critic in me cannot give it any accolades it
doesn't deserve.
