the storyline can be hard to follow, but the animation is outstanding

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2013)

it is a long movie, and you will probably get a lil bored about half-way through, until the end, and the characters are weak in their storyline. this is mainly an action movie, but it seems like they also want it to be about the story-line. it could have been a lot better at building up the great story concept, and adding some more action scenes, but for 1988, this movie deserves a 10+. i give it a 7 or 6 for what i'm used to now, but i feel this IS a milestone for its time and every anime lover should have a copy) so if you don't mind looking back towards the past and watching a decent anime, this one is for ya. also...the front cover has a pic of a dude and a motorcycle and a picture of a pill on the back of his shirt. his motorcycle is hardly in the movie, and the pill pretty much is never seen in the movie, so i don't know how they come up with that. like i said, the story line is weak, and put together quite badly, but hey, it is 1988, and the graphics still look GREAT today)
