I started off thinking that this was a sort of advertisement for the longer Demonbane TV series, but in fact this is a OVA which was released two years earlier. The amusing and interesting plot moves rapidly forward, which caused me to wonder if this was an amalgamation of the most critical scenes of the TV series while leaving a lot of other stuff out. The characters--like the bizarre 'Dr. West'--were colorful and fun. The artwork is a bit crude compared to that of the 2006 TV series. This half-hour OVA basically introduces us to the characters and premise without pretending to tell a complete story. It does a good job of that, however, as is evident from the fact that a much longer TV series was made two years later. The thought occurred to me that most anime don't have nearly as interesting and engaging a framework as Demonbane does. Thanks to the late Jan-Chan for providing me with this DVD.

In any case, it is a fun watch! Last updated Saturday, April 23 2005. Created Saturday, April 23 2005. |
This is a very short (30 minute long) high action and adrenaline driven OVA. If pressed, I might have to admit that this is kinda of a BATMAN type of story line, in which a reporter in chasing down a story lead, stumbles across a 3rd-rate private-eye, who has a secret that he does not want published. ||||||||
