one of my fave Manga films ever. It's inspiration to cinema can't be denied.
Really good for an anime , great mystery with gore parts in it and I loved the story definitely very interesting. Worth watching.
an absolute fav
Excellent movie
I was probably too young when I first saw this one but damn it left a massive impression that really influenced my tastes in anime.
