This is my first review so don't be harsh on me :P
This anime didn't suck at all; well, it could have sucked if I am stuck inside a romance bubble :P
The main character, Ryuuichi, is a modern demon that would do anything to reach the top. On his way he meets, not only girls that he wants to exploit to achieve his short-sighted goals, but also some allies as well. This anime shows in a direct way that society is, unfortunately, build and may be ruled, not by romance, but by heartless, ruthless people. Ryuuichi wants to become one of these - not ... because he chose too, but just because he feels this way.
It is very interesting to see how such a character perceives life. He is doing everything to reach his goals without any empathy at all, delving into his egoism and his own diminished ethics.

For me, this anime provides a life lesson, both for men and women.
For men, it is obvious that such characters do exist in real life and, if you consider yourselves one of the romantic, proud and ethical people, this is a good movie to think about how to face such characters. And "Ryuuichis" will appear throughout your lives and be prepared for that.
For women, this is also a life lesson; Ryuuichi impersonates those men that will use you. So, before falling rapidly in love with somebody, take your time to indeed understand his intentions; The good thing is that this movie showed that patience, in these kind of modern demons, has some limits; Ryuuichi will not wait for long to achieve his goals - he wants to live fast and exploit everyone around him, but in a short period of time.

Except from the extremely interesting plot and dialogues, art and music are (very) descent for the time that this anime was created (1989). And unfortunately, Blue Flames are increasingly felt in modern society, by men and women alike. Therefore, such a story is highly relevant and timeless.
I recommend this movie to all anime viewers since it provides something unique to think about.
