Has anyone seen this anime? Looks like it might be interesting. But, like Blood, it's short. American version is 45 mins, the international version is 60.

A description I found on the web

quote:
Heads Will Explode! The Controversial Anime Hit Of The Year is Finally on DVD!

Orphaned at a young age, her parents victims of a brutal double murder, Sawa was taken in by the detective assigned to her case. Not content to just watch as the imperfect justice system lets more and more criminals go loose every day, he decides to train her to be his instrument of justice. After all, who'd suspect a pretty college student of being a deadly vigilante!

Now she must decide between her allegiance to her guardian and her loyalty to her one and only friend, a fellow sword of justice.

Watch as this brutal story unfolds with stunning animation from the lethal mind of Yasuomi Umetsu, the character designer of such anime classics as MegaZone 23 Part 2, Robot Carnival (Presence), and the New Gatchaman (G-Force).


I read something somewhere comparing it to The Professional and La Femme Nakita (I'm hoping the mean the movie). Haven't seen The Profesional, but I liked La Femme Nakita.

It's okay. There's a few great action sequences in it, but apart from that it's not terribly remarkable.

BLOOD is certainly a lot better.
