Viewing Notes

Daikaiju TV programmed a good lineup tonight.

Been wanting to see this for a while. It’s another title you’d often see at the video store but I never watched (maybe have a dub on VHS somewhere). Anyways this is some serious old school hyper violent anime. And I love it for that. The story is pretty basic: super soldiers created then deemed to powerful so they are retired yet one of them is unfrozen in the post-apocalypse and wants revenge, sort of. He really just wants back in the action. Meets some “Road Warrior” type punks in the wasteland that steer him towards the military who then want to use him for their own means.

It’s good. Bloody. Violent. Ridiculous. Now I need to track down the sequel.
