In post-World
War III Japan, a secret military project turns a biker gang member
into a raging psionic psychopath. For his debut feature, Otomoto
reworks his own highly successful comic strip into a staggering
piece of animation, its complex plot being both imaginative and
serious.
"The film moves with such kinetic energy, you'll be hanging
on for dear life" Richard Harrington, Washington Post
