SynopsisThis story takes place during the Heian Period of Japan`s history, when evil spirits still resided in the forests, mountains and rivers. A girl, accompanied by her loved one, battles against these evil spirits, while she is disguised as man. This brave woman, aka "Kaidomaru", with a Chinese character "Flame" tatooed on her upper arm, was one of the "Four Devas". Kaidomaru fights for the honor of her lost love, Raikou Minamotono, who had sacrified his life in order to protect the capital Kyoto, from the evils deeds of a "princess" cursed by a malicious ogre. The princess, whom Kaidomaru used to play with as a child, has now become her ultimate enemy. (Source: AniDB) |

I watched this to kill 45 minutes and basically that is all this OVA is good for. The art is different than what most are used to, it uses a lot of crosshatching and pale colors but that is also because the setting is feudal Japan when they used a lot of pale colors in their art. The plot is really hard to "get" by just watching the anime, I suggest you find an outline like the one found on Wikipedia and reading along. Don't come in expecting a GREAT anime, its just minimally good for when you're really bored and have nothing better to do. read more

I absolutely hated this anime. There is nothing good to say about it. It felt as if I was watching a child playing with its toys that were made in the early bronze age in a room with rubber walls. It was a struggle to finish this anime from the start. I can honestly say, that I have had workouts that lasted an hour and a half that were less physically demanding than sitting through this anime.
Absolutely ridiculous. You can tell that incorporating CG was not something the company that produced this garbage was used to doing. The colors were horrible. Perhaps the art directors were trying to create a specific feel for it by choosing the colors that they did. If they were going for an amateur look that was intended to bore me to tears, then they succeeded well beyond their wildest dreams.
I have NOTHING good to say about this anime.
If anybody likes this anime, or even lists it in their top 1000 anime, then I most definitely do not want to be friends with that person.
Avoid at all costs. This isn't even one of those where you tell your friends "Hey, you gotta see this, this is SO bad that it's awesome." No, this anime is so bad that it can't even be used as a joke. It's so bad I can't think of any ways to make fun of it, because every second of this anime was insanely boring and there is nothing interesting that you can reference to. read more

Different story, but almost same characters. Parallel dimension or something like this.

It's pretty similar in many respects, including historical setting, intense violent action, and dramatic storyline.
