Movie Reviews of Tokko: The Complete Series, Vol. 1-3
Movie Review: Rock'em Sock'em Tokko
Summary: 5 Stars
From the imaginative mind of Tori Fujisawa comes Tokko to TV sets around the world.
Tokko takes viewers into the world of Shindou Ranmaru, a newly minted investigator from the Police Academy with a disturbing fantasy world. If it's not his prancing in her lingerie sister, the half naked dream girl, or the wave of mass murders that invades his dream life, he is one mal adjusted cop. As a young man, his family and an entire apartment complex was murdered in Machida, leaving one other witness. Haunting his dreams, the half-naked girl (Rokujo Sakura) turns up at head quarters as part of Tokko, the secret division of Tokki. Unlike regular cops, their weapons are swords with no mercy. Transferring his dream life to reality, he forges a friendship with her and begins to understand the forces that terminated thousands of people in Machida.
Tokko focuses on the appearance of mysterious bottomless holes that lead to murders and `possessions' that turn the victims into zombies that threated the whole city. That's where Tokko comes in. Their function is to battle the invaders from beneath, no matter what the cost.
I must say, Tokko is a fascinating look at the life of Shindou and the forces that pursue him during his life. `Awakening' is a first class episode that draws you into the next, and the next, and so on. Packed with adventure, interesting characters from the slacker rookies, the beautiful Rokujo Sakura, the explosive head of division one, Kurkida, his volupterous sister, and the Elite division, the Tokki. It is addicting, with 22 minute segments designed to run into one another as one continious production. Perhaps that is next.
Tokko is classy, from art to script. It has the mysterious, `buy me, watch me' factor that so many productions lack. Congratulations Manga.com, you have a winner.
Look for Tokko at your local video dealer, comic book store, or online at www.manga.com
