Synopsis

Hyoudo Riki is just an ordinary guy who likes to wear a tiger mask while Kung-Fu fighting, which means he fits in real well at BATTLE ROYAL HIGH SCHOOL!

Unfortunately for Riki, he's the doppleganger in our world of Byoudo, Master of the Dark Realm, and when a dimensional gate opens between the two worlds, the evil Fairy Master tricks Byoudo into making an attempt to conquer our beautiful, and better lit, world.

Now poor Riki is semi-possessed by his opposite number, and the minions of the Fairy Master are mutating his classmates into hideous lustful monsters. To make matters worse, all the inter-dimensional commotion has attracted the attention of a sword-happy exorcist and the heroic Zankan of the Space-Time Police!

Which all means that Riki is about to take one bitch of a mid-term. The course is survival, and forget "Pass/Fail". The test is graded "Live/Die".

Approx 1 minute 55 seconds into the movie, the karate dude who got beat up didn't have his shadows animated for a couple frames, and when he walks off screen he disappears before he reaches the edge of the frame 😭. However, I will give credit where it's due; the animation style is actually quite interesting, I haven't seen anything quite like it. It's also one of the first old OVAs that animates blinking, but it's not consistent.

In terms of adult content, I'm glad it's not overly sexual, just violence and action.

Confusing as the story may be, it sure is a fun watch. ...

Mixed Feelings

Does it have a ridiculous story? Why, sure does! Don't spend too much of your brain juice trying to logically following along with the plot. Because you'll only get frustrated.

Instead, just check your brain at the door and drink in all the action. Because there's plenty of it crammed into this short movie. And it wouldn't be an eighties OVA if they didn't throw in some ridiculously gory carnage to go along with it.

And unlike many of its contemporary counterparts, the quality of the artwork is actually pretty ...
