Fun but weird fighting anime
alexfromhorn3 April 2015
This movie is about fighting. I can tell you that without spoiling anything, this movie mainly consists of 2 two fights in an arena. And guess what? In 45min minutes that is quite a good entertainment. The first fight is OK and has some surprises and the second one gets weird with strange techniques and stuff. The animation itself was well done. 45min is a short time for a story to develop so there isn't really much going on besides fighting. What bothered me was a bit the slight homo-erotic components and transgender looks of the second fighter, that made this anime kinda weird. But still it's enjoyable, if you're in the mood for a not so long anime and you like fighting-sports you can watch this.

Vicious fighting anime
guisreis17 March 2022
Amusing ultra-violent anime full of exaggerated character designs and scenes. A young talented martial artist comes from several victories with just one blow in a fighting tournament where everything is allowed. Then, he is selected by the event managers to fight a much taller and very arrogant adversary. Eventually, he will have a much worse challenge, in a deadly underground version of that tournament. In the end of the short TV film, there is the impression that it was just a TV episode, lacking a proper end.
