Review of Kai Doh Maru (2001) by Ellie S — 09 Aug 2010

The animation was unique and really fit the story - the washed out colors of the boring and the vivid colors of fire and blood really brought a kind of surreal to this sadly short film...the story had potential, but it wasn't reached.

I never really understood what the 'Kai Doh Maru' was or what Kintoki was being attacked...i didn't quite get that she was a girl until 15 minutes into the movie...all in all if you know the story and you know what to expect it's pretty good, but if you just watch it not knowing what it's about I can guarantee that you won't get it.

the Animation is the saving grace of this movie, it was very pretty and reminiscent of the time period this movie was based in.
