This series is on par with HBO's Spawn:Animated series. The story is well told, the relationships of the characters are strong. The central mother/daughter theme is simple, powerful, and elegant. I enjoyed all the characters, and the changes they go through, because of a mother's love. For me, most anime is almost senseless, due to my ignorance of Asian culture. I don't care much for giant robots they crush cities and everybody seems to be fine with it. That silly mech. But the machines in this series are relevant, if cannon fodder. The fights were often anti- climatic, ending too soon in one way or another, but easily over-looked when taken into context. No sex, lots of bulbous bosoms (yay!), not much violence against humans and what little there is, is shown off screen or implied in some way. Anyway, worth watching.

Being a fan, this effort was embarrassing. But I am biased. Being a fan of the comic series, I was set up for a fall. The comics are beautiful. This title deserves the $100-150 million budget, and would spawn a trilogy, and 2 guaranteed spin-offs: Evil Ernie and Purgatori. And 3 one shot spin offs: Cremator, Bedlam, and the Dead King. If I won a huge $200 million dollar lottery, I'd pay to make these movies (as long as I get consulting rights on Evil Ernie so I could re-define zombie flicks). They'd be balls- to-the-wall and if they get an x-rating then whatever, who cares? Anyway, back to this little flick. It sucked, I've seen it about 4-5 times and liked it more each time, but that doesn't make it suck less, I just enjoyed it more. If and when this is given the proper treatment, it will be ART. Read the comics.
