Review of Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma (1989) by Steve M — 07 Nov 2005

"Curse of the Yoma" is the tale of a ninja who undertakes a quest to slay a childhood friend gone bad. Along the way, he has a number of inexplicable encounters, including one that, near as I can tell, is an odd, unexplained time-warp.

The animation is nice, and there are some interesting plot elements, but those plot elements are just floating out there with no real thread to tie them together. I think someone forgot that even a cartoon needs a script.

If you want a viewing experience that makes you think (even if thinking involves going 'Huh? Did I miss something?') then I suppose 'Yoma' might be worth checking out. Otherwise, I think your time and money can be better spent elsewhere.
