About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an older, adult-leaning anime with gothic horror, pulpy sci-fi, and plenty of violent monster fights; Not for you if you need polished animation or subtle storytelling like Wicked City.
Pros: gothic sci-fi mood; memorable monster action; cult-classic appeal | Cons: uneven pacing; very dark visuals; cheesy dialogue moments
