Biohunter
Synopsis
A strange virus, known as the Demon Virus, attacks the human genetic code, transforming people into monsters with demonic powers. One particular monster is terrorizing the streets of Tokyo, ripping open young women to devour their livers. A famed psychic holds the secret to the identity and purpose of this monster. Now it is up to two molecular biologists, self-proclaimed Bio Hunters Komada and Koshigaya, to reach the psychic and his beautiful grand daughter before it’s too late! The Demon Virus is out to conquer the world…
Review
Bio Hunter is probably one of the nastiest titles I have ever seen, nasty in a good way though. In the world of Bio Hunter, humans turn into monsters and crave to eat young women. Disgusted yet? If not, the animation sure will! At many times of the movie I would say, ‘Ewww,’ but at the same moment I cannot help but to like those scenes. They are not something you would see in every other Anime in its’ genre.
Anyways, the Bio Hunters, Komada and Koshigaya hunt for the monsters and eliminate them. As they fight, Komada (also a carrier of the virus) loses control of his virus powers. What will become of him is for you to find out (hehe). Bio Hunter’s action scenes were fast paced. I liked it. There are not many long boring dialogues, so action fans should be happy.
Overall, Bio Hunter has an interesting story, action, animation and characters. And the fact that Bio Hunter was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll, Wicked City), it automatically would receive much attention from Kawajiri-san fans.
The Breakdown
I really meant that at some parts, Bio Hunter can be really nasty. Keep that in mind.
