Pas une critique!

Vu sur YouTube.

Une forte impression de visionnage en avance rapide sur toute la 1e partie post-prologue. On suit des bouchées d'action se suivant, sans un semblant de lien. Le roman est sûrement meilleur sur ce point, même avec une histoire très bateau.
The best part is when you realize that the action sequences are devoid of a real interest while they seem to be the only reason for this videotape to exist.

I don't like to use this word but it was BORING. As boring as watching noseless girls doing aimless things.
At least, it has its overall design (apocalyptic Shinjuku, Kawajiri's charadesign), drawings and animation going for it. Nice to have Hiromi Tsuru, but her role was.. underwhelming (funny thing: the end made the girl sound like a saviour).

It was hilarious to see the OAV trying so hard to sell Mephisto as the ultra-cool character when he seems to be promised to far greater deeds later (in the novel series?).

Enjoyment: 3/5
Score: 4/10

1. Is this really Kawajiri's doing?


2. I read critics comparing it to Escape from New York. A shame for Carpenter's film.


3. How did this end on ANN's "Other 100 best movies" ?

I wonder if the english edition of the novel and its sequel are still available.
