Karas - The Revelation [DVD]

I have been an anime fan for years and I will have to say that Karas is easily one of the best anime movies to come from Mango since ninja scroll! I know that is bold and very strong talk, however, if you buy Karas you will understand. 1. Story - the story is pretty interesting for what it is. Demons and humans have a clash of sorts and Karas basically keeps the peace. The characters are interesting, the main character himself is especially mysterious and you can ally feel the characters feelings. 2. Animation - Beyond words! I cannot be more impressed. When I saw Final Fantasy XII I almost soiled myself, but Karas...In the words of Neo from the Matrix "Woah" The integration of 3d animation with 2d animation is nearly seemless, not to mention the combat in the series. I mean Newton, Einstein, and Boyle have to be rolling in their grave because of the physics defying action. The studio also brings in new concepts of speed and strength, and a new way to exemplify them. Overall this was an amazing anime and I DEMAND A SERIES OR ANOTHER MOVIE POST HASTE!!!

This is the second set of 3 of a 6 part ova dealing with otoha and his fight agains the mechanized demons. This has to be one of the best anime OVA series i have ever seen. A lot of the series seems like they sat down with a stack of money and said what can we do that will look cool? and then they did it while spinning it all together with a great story. The climatic ending of the series is just as good as the introduction fight of the series. Anyone who enjoys anime i suggest picking this complete set up. I even noticed they are selling a set that includes all six parts. buy it today.

I will be relative short with my review about the second part of Karas (but view spoilers will be included). To begin with, the series starts off exactly where the previous one stopped. Now, Otoha (the main protagonist - and the `good' Karas - is respectively stripped of his powers) and his cat-girl is imprisoned. On top of that, Eko - the bad Karas - has almost accomplished his plans. No matter the circumstances, Otoha will head out with his friend (the guy who is a daemon as well, I think Nue was his name) for their final stand so as to stop Eko and his foes. This will result to mind-blowing action scenes, flashbacks and therefore, more character development, both worlds (the spiritual and the material) will start to collide, the city will be annihilated during the fights, the new awakening of Karas and his cat-girl (something that you have to watch or otherwise I will give away the entire story), the Karas of the entire nation will come into the picture as well, protagonists/characters will die (well, unfortunately it will happen) but most of all it will lead to one of the best final and action packed battles of the anime series. One more thing (Spoiler!!!) In a scene, close to the final battle it is implied that the feelings of `master and servant/helper/warrior (or whatever you want to call it)', cat-girl and Karas (referring to the cat-girl and Otoha), are deeper than they may appear at first... Now, to the other details. The dub is done perfectly as it was done in the first part. The animation lives up to the expectations of the previous one. The story starts to kick off from the first minute; in addition most answers will be answered, answers that were raised during the first volume - not to mention the fact that it gets emotional too. The music is similar to the one people got used from the first Karas. As for the extras, it has nearly the typical stuffs like previews and a view shots when the actors did the dub. Well, all this been said Karas presents itself to be one of the best fantasy-action movies that came out recently and is definitely worth buying... To conclude, this one (Karas - The Prophecy) and its continuation, (Karas - The Revelation) are highly recommended!!!

Everything from animation to storyline is stunning and unforgettable.

2nd time buying it. Your Anime Fan. It’s a must see from Karas Prophecy 1 This is the sequel part 2. Nicely packaged unopened.

This is an epic conclusion to one of the most unique original video animes (OVA). Not only is the the first movie, The Prophecy, exciting and action packed, it's also extremely confusing. Part 2, The Revelation, fills in the story gaps thus making the overall plot much easier to understand. I'm not going to go into explaining the story since other people have already done that. What I will say, though, is that The Prophecy is epic story telling at its finest. It is true that the movie is a little slow at times since it is doing exposition that probably should've been told in The Prophecy. At times the animation is not as vibrant or fluid when compared to The Prophecy, but when taken as a whole, these are just minor issues that don't really detract from the thrilling epic story telling that is The Prophecy and The Revelation.

I love Karas ever since I played him in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom the video game. The 2 movies are so cool to watch and they fetaure some wonderful animation and sequences. The first part may be a little weak due to the story confusion, but this movie helps reveal many things and build up to a grand climax. One of my favorite films now.

This was an instant classic! Action packed story driven samurai demon slayer goodness. I liked it deep story and fast action. It will be exciting to see this franchise develop into a series or see some more movies like this! It's like power rangers done right!
