__________________________________________

It's about a guy that pops a boner when he gets mad, flips out and kills shit, busts a nut, then calms back down, the end.

Oh yea, theres some conspiracies and secret organizations it seems also.

Story: ?

You aleady saw what i said about the main character. He's a teenager(late teens), who seems to have the mentality of a 6 year old.And sicne he has the mentality of a 6 year old, he doesnt know anything about masturbating i guess. Well, as luck would have it, he's also highly delusional and gets pissed off really easily, and to top it off he seems to be a martial arts master. There's some organization(of weirdos), that seems to want to recruit him to be an assassin, they didnt really get into much of that. But hell, if i ran some underground organization that needed assassins, retarded homicidal maniac sex fiends are exactly who i'd recruit.

Animation/Design: 7/10

The design is real nice, not trying to be some "new style" crap, rather some well detailed art work that makes the show feel really gritty and nasty, which is a very good thing. The animation is pretty damn good as well, cant say they could have done a better job of heads getting punched off and balls being sliced off. But... they have this strange habit of having the characters face being the only thing in frame while he's just screaming nonsense at the top of his lungs over and over. That right there is a real drag, and hopefully they lighten up on that crap later.

Music/Sound: 7/10

The music got kinda repetitive, the voice acting was fairly average, and the voices didnt seem too great. However, the sound effects during fights was top notch and prevented me from giving it a 6 for this.

Overall 6/10

Now i'm just guessing, but this show could kick a lot more ass if it wasnt for some flaws that seem like they may have even been 100% intentional. If the story turns into something other than just a crazy sex fiend on a killing spree, I'll probably bump it up another digit later on.

How many eps is it? Hawks only did one ep (or maybe it is a movie). I'm looking forward to it but seems no fansub groups doing it now. :(

yes you must watch the movie! you wont get much from the first ep...unless getting off from inflicting pain on others is your forte, then you will understand this just fine...;)

for the most part i dont like japanese live action movies, very rarely do i find one to watch that i didnt think was stupid. and i did get the movie, and flipped through it, and wasnt the slightest bit interested by what i saw.

and if they cant manage to convey any sort of story without making me watch the movie if any more of this show finally gets subbed, i'll give it a 5.
