The worst anime I ever seen This is a God hater movie. The acting is bad, plot horrible and over all I wouldn't wish for anyone to waste their time watching this movie. This is the First DVD I have ever throw away in my life.
AVOID AT ALL COST In summary, during the 13th century's holy crusades, an innocent soldier finds himself betrayed and leaps to his death,vowing to return as a fallen angel and [so said so done] as he is reborn in the modern age as a female warrior. His feminine alter ego, the beautiful Aiko, rises to lead an army that unites the world and abolishes religion. But haunted by memories of a past life, she/he travels back in time [not sure how] and gets caught in a battle to save the future. In my humble opionon, do not waste your time on this horrible, horrible, horrible anime flim. I hardly ever watch anime, and don't know all that much about it. But even with that limited knowledge, I know that this one is bad. The plot is confusing and weak, the art is bad, the script is downright idiotic, and it can hardly qualify as hentai. The sex - give me a break! I've seen better on network television and soap operas! Terrible. There is nothing to recommend this film to anime fans or casual watchers. Don't bother.
Needs the first one What most people don't know about this, is that that is the second in a series! The first part of it is before the Restoration, and actually starts when Hans loses his wings. I haven't been able to find the original in a long time, but I've found that this DVD makes a lot less sense without the first VHS. I don't know why they released the second to DVD without remastering the first. I will admit, I didn't enjoy this one as much. I thought the first was much better. This one was a little more confusing.
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar, and altogether quite impossible to describe... O.K., so there's a woman warrior, who led a crusade of other women warriors, and women took over the world (as if they haven't already, ba-dump-bump). And then there's a time-traveling demon, a convenient "time tunnel" built into an ancient monastery, a transsexual/lesbian love affair in there somewhere, and...you know what? Forget it. No, really, forget it; forget that this movie ever existed and move on to more comprehensible fare, like "Urotsukidoji". My rating: 1/10.
It's just ok In the Post-Restoration world, Yuki recovers her memory and realizes that her lover, Daisuke, died in the World Restoration, which was led by Aiko and the female crusaders of St. Michaela's College. She decides to save Daisuke by preventing the WR, which means going back in time to kill the Christian Crusader's.
