MY FINAL THOUGH AND SCORE
This is an excellent film as this is one of my more recenter buys, it has excellent action, with some brilliant fight scenes. The story is very good and the characters are fab, there is some humour in the film also. The animation is top notch even though this isn't a fully fledged japanes animated film, it lives up to the japanese style of action easily. With great animation and great backdrops.
