Movie Reviews of Tokyo Revelation
Movie Review: potential unfulfilled
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted so much to really like Tokyo Revelation. I liked the characters, the concept, the art style, the overall look. (Although I can understand some people not liking any of those) But it failed. It falls on it's face. Cerberus, the 3 headed dog of the underworld, lacks 2 of his heads... points like that grate on the nerves. The story is underdeveloped, the main characters have some development, but never seem to get anywhere because the story isn't fleshed out enough to give them room.The dialogue needs a lot of work and research.
It should have been done more slowly, and done as a longer series. Double the length or perhaps more. More fight scenes with all the otherworldly demons introduced. More conflict and confrontation between the human characters. More development on the identities of characters and their relationships. More internal conflict for the characters who have to accept changes in themselves and those around them.
It's not the worst anime I've seen, but it left me feeling like I'd been cheated out of something worthwhile.
Summary of Tokyo Revelation
This two-part 1995 OAV is a shoddy, violent attempt to mix a sword-and- sorcery and demon adventure with high-tech cyber-world effects. Akito, an effete teenager, believes he's an important player in the demonic conspiracy to raise the Satan figure President Ose, using the magnetite or life energy of humans. But Akito's plans founder when he encounters Kojiro, his only friend from elementary school (on whom he seems to nurture a crush). Kojiro is really the reincarnation of the guardian deity Masakado Taira, who can vanquish Ose. The disjointed story unfolds along predictable lines with lots of fights, blood, magical symbols, monsters from Western mythology, and screamed dialogue. Unrated; suitable for ages 17 and up: Nudity, violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, sexual content, including suggested homosexuality. --Charles SolomonAnimation DVD Video
