Harmagedon
(Collector's Series Edition)
Anime DVD Review
While many people may know that Katsuhiro Otomo and Rin Taro collaborated to make the recently released Metropolis, only the hardcore fans know that the two had worked together 20 years previous on a film named Harmagedon (Genma Tasien). One of the most groundbreaking anime films of all time, this pits Princess Luna and her team of Espers gathered from around the world to fight an evil bent of destroying the planet. This feature was so memorable; it was parodied years later in Project Ako.
 This classic anime is not for the timid - there's Earth-shattering (literally) destruction as major cities are leveled and millions killed. This may be the only movie where everyone dies and yet the good guys still win! With Rin Taro directing and Otomo providing the character designs, you can assure yourself that the action will be top notch!
