Idol Of Darkness

It is hentai and ineventibly the sex takes precedence over plot and character development. In its original form this film would probably have been ok as comic porn (3 stars max); however, some clumsy censorship has resulted in a very abrupt climax that just shows up the deficiencies in the other aspects of the film.

Despite the description, the film is actually in Japanese with English subtitles.

Firstly, this is less animation, more hentai. In fact, it is very explicit in certain scenes so watch with caution! (I had no idea it was actually Hentai until I started watching this rubbish....there are NO CLUES in the blurb on the back that this is explicit, which is what annoys me...at least they should warn people beforehand, then I wouldn't have bought it)
Animation= Very poorly drawn, not in the same league as other well known anime such as that from Miyazake's stable.
Plot= Not very exciting at all. The basic premis is that a young singer is so successfull, that a rival actress gets jealous of her and decides to take revenge by summoning up a demon to kill her. Meanwhile, this singer's boyfriend has developed super powers and uses them to defend her. In reality, this thin plot is only there to string together the various (tacky) sex scenes.
Soundtrack= Again not very good, nowhere near the quality of other animation out there.
Overall= Only one star because I can't give it zero.
Give this a miss, very tasteless stuff
