Reviews
Doug
This is pretty blac, both thematically and literally. But I like the tension between the narrative about murder, vengence and redemption and the upbeat jazz score.
Heekun
Dark, Brouding and Bloody. Art style is well done, lots of detail.
Michael Eh?
This is a classic in literature and art no matter where you call home. This takes the Immortality to be more of a nightmare than a dream. The only problem is visually the first episode is dark as in hard to see. Thankfully, the animators crank the contrast up in the second episode.
