A 1000 Anime Crossover
Abstract Spectrum:
Psychotronic/Grotesque
Abstract Rating
(High/Medium/Low/None): None
Riki-Oh, a notorious tale of a man sent to prison who's martial
arts ability not only allows him to recover from life ending wounds easily but knock
a person's jaw off with one blow...and yet if I was devoting a blog entirely to
comic books, it would be the original manga by Tetsuya Saruwatari that would get on the Abstract List at with a
"High" rating. Instead I'm talking about the film adaptation which
has had a legacy since its release in the early nineties, one that only adapts
the first few chapters of the manga. They're pretty strange in themselves, but it's
more of a splatter martial arts movie than actually weird, a living cartoon
which is not as exaggerated and strange as the original source material gets,
as its only the prologue effectively which was adapted onto screen, and so is
more known in reputation for its full blown gore.
