A Night of a Thousand Horror (Movies) #245 / A 1000 Anime Crossover

 

There were a lot of straight-to-video anime made in the eighties and to a lesser extent the nineties, a lot of which we got (or at least the North America market) got in the West. How Maryuu Senki never was such an example baffles me, unless its curious history of the first episode coming from one anime studio, the other two from another, is a factor. Never was there a title which encapsulates "adult" Japanese anime from the time, but I really found a lot to enjoy about this supernatural horror work of three episodes.
