Viewing Notes

This is the anime sequel to Riki-Oh: The Wall of Hell, which was the basis for the live action Story of Riki. This continues the Riki Oh saga after he leaves the prison and goes on a search for his brother. Pretty straightforward yet still fun to see this character and all the extreme violence. Would’ve been cool had this also adapted this story into live action. Has some neat characters and wicked scenes.
