OK, this series has been on my shit list for a long time. Its pretty bad, even for mid 90's animation. Its nothing but an orgy of ultra-violence and nudity, don't get me wrong I'm not against ultra-violence and nudity...this story just plain sucks. Apparently the manga was never finished so people must have detested it as well. This was part of the first wave of commercial anime in North America when the regional licensing companies were trying to grab anything that was edgy and adult orientated, feeling that their sales would fare better than if they directed their attention to the general market. This series came out fairly quick in America (according to info on Anime News Network the US got the OAV before Japan did). It was a staple in the mid 90's for any anime fan but it was less then inspiring. Put it along side Guyver and you have a festival of horrible action horror titles that should be buried and forgotten.
If you are interested in seeing what this series looks like and how people get brutally murdered, the DVD appears to be easily accessible.
