Reviews from Letterboxd
- Mantasumi — ★★½
“Grässliche Monster, derbe Action, übernatürliche Elemente, zähe Charaktere und coole 80er-Jahre-Vibes: Diese 3-teilige OVA hat eigentlich alles, was sich Genre-Fans wünschen … bis auf das Wichtigste: eine gute Story.” - mosquitodragon — ★★★★
“I think I have a real affinity for that old school anime style – the sort of stuff which looks a little jerky in comparison to the really high end stuff from the last 20 years or so, the Hayao Miyazakis and Satoshi Kons and so on.” - kreepykarly🩸 — ★★★★½
“Crazy body horror, vibrant reds and blues, gorgeous villain design, lots of blood and stringy saliva, and an overall very aesthetically pleasing art style!! What more could I ask for… I absolutely loved this! I need a physical copy of it so badly 🩸🥩” - TK NiRMAL — ★★★½
“This is a good reminder that animation can be absolutely ruthless. The personal drama gives the horror more weight than I expected. There is a great movie in here fighting with a rough one.” - PetersMovyLogs — ★★★½
“I had a pretty good time with this one 👍 It’s quite brutal and bloody, and it felt like a lot happened in a short amount of time. Good stuff!”
