Viewing Notes
Weird sequel in which the anime/art style is very different than the previous film. Crazy level of detail in this hand drawn cel animation. Super gory kills by the alien invaders. Very much anime created for adults (also features a fairly explicit sex scene).
The story takes place 6 months after the first film with the Shogo reunited with Yui and the punk biker gang. Doesn’t quite hit the same highs as the first film and lacks the charm. Doesn’t help that the primary characters look entirely different here.
