Product Description

Product Description

50 minute Japanimation DVD. As the demonic forces of the Shinma strive to obtain a foothold upon the mortal plane, spiritualist Himiko seeks the truth.

Amazon.com

Director Toshihiro Hirano (Magic Knight Rayearth) based this four-part OAV series on a horror manga by his wife, Narumi Kakinouchi, and the title has remained popular since it appeared in 1988-89. In "Unearthly Kyoto," the viewer meets Himiko Se, a self-described spiritualist, who has come to the ancient capital to perform an exorcism on a princess who has been in a coma for 60 days. The assignment brings her into conflict with the title character, who has dedicated her existence to destroying the Shinma, a race of demon-gods who attack humans. The two women square off again at a school where the students are inexplicably disappearing in "A Banquet of Marionettes." The skeptical, rational Himiko makes an effective foil for the powerful and sensual Miyu, who battles the Shinma with the aid of her redoubtable servant Larva, a creature with a face like a scarred carnival mask. Miyu resembles a cross between a traditional Japanese doll and an anime heroine. She is delicately beautiful, but self-assured and in command of formidable powers. And her beauty has a perverse edge: she remains a vampire who offers humans immortality in exchange for the blood she requires. Quite literally a femme fatale, Miyu recalls the beautiful but deadly heroines so popular in turn-of-the-century Western literature. Unrated; suitable for ages 13 and up for violence and grotesque imagery. --Charles Solomon

3.0 out of 5 stars It's pretty good
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2013

I gave this an average score because it's in Region 1 and I need Region 2, saying that, I could play it on my laptop, so it's not so much a problem, but still a little pain. On my laptop the animation is fairly standard considering it's not on a TV screen itself, though can be very slightly blurry in some scenes.
I love the OVA of this anime better than the TV series, for one thing, it's short and sweet, the animation is consistent in this and the 2 parts for this one (and the 2 parts for the other DVD) is pretty decent, quite thought-invoking and introduces you to a different culture without being overwhelming.
However, you never really know what year or day it's set in, but you just assume it's set in the 90's since no one really dresses like the characters any more.
Another thing that lets this down is the voice-acting for the dub, Miyu's voice-although childish-can be rather high-pitched and annoying at times and some of the other characters' voices just seem a little awkward at times.
Even so, it's a really good beginning to the 4 episode OVA and what's better is the air of mystery surrounding the 3 main characters and I found this-along with the fantasy and suspense worked well for this short series.
I'd recommend watching it on YouTube or streaming it first to form your own opinion of it that way, although it's a pretty decent price for such a hidden gem, I really do think watching it online first would be better as it's not to everyone's tastes.
However, I still prefer this to the TV series as it just focuses on the short plot rather than dragging in so many characters and getting side-tracked in attempting to build a storyline with filler.
The condition of this DVD was excellent, couldn't fault it, it was packaged securely and was pleased with how soon it arrived, I think I waited about a week or two-but then I was told when I ordered it, that it could be anything up to a month to arrive. Either way, I was pleased with it and still watch it every now and then on a rainy/quiet afternoon :)
