    It has above-average (well, above-Pokemon at least) action animation, with a pretty strong dose of demon sex/rape (typical in adult-oriented anime) and the standard "we-must-mate-to-save-humanity" plot (this line never worked for me).

    For something better. try "Ninja Scroll" (excellent action animation, interesting plot, really weird characters). I just wished that Manga would release anime in letterboxed format. This is particularly confusing in "Ninja Scroll", as a battle between Jubei (the hero) and a blind swordsman occupies more space than 4:3 aspect ratio can deliver.

      If you already seen Ninja Scroll you can try "Ninja Resurrection" It's not a sequel but it seems to have more of everything that was in "Ninja Scroll" It's a series also... my friends just finished watching episode 3.

      Interesting observation on the sword fight in "Ninja Scroll"
      I'll look for it in widescreen here, however, I don't know the
      original Japanese Title. The animations sections here in Japan
      are vast and asking the clerk "Do you have an animation videos with Samurais in them" doesn't help.

        Well, samurai movies are called "chanbara" movies because of the sound of clashing swords... I suppose you could call this chanbara anime. Liked the original Ninja Scroll better.

        Thanks for the rec for "Ninja Resurrection"; I've been wondering about it when I saw it listed as a new DVD release a few months ago. I think the Japanese title for "Scroll" is "Ninja Nimpocho" or "Jubei vs. the Eight Devils of Kimon".
