To really understand Karas, you need to buy the whole set and both movies should be watched together. Otherwise, it just won't make a lot of sense. There were many times that I felt that I was missing something important, but by the end of the set most of my questions were answered. Despite that, I really enjoyed watching these movies. The art work was an amazing and a beautiful blend of 3D and 2D. The English voice acting is superb. Also, the fight scenes are incredible. The series opens with one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen. It runs through the whole credits and really sets the tone of the two movies. You really get the feel that the Karas is otherworldly, not to mention really fast. There are times when the rest of the animation slows down and stops while the Karas is moving. It gives you the sense of immense speed and power.
This movie does contain adult language and a significant amount of blood. However, the gore level is not excessive and fits into the setting. Even when there was a lot of it, I got the feeling that it was supposed to be that way to add to the scene and not for the gross factor.
All in all, a good watch. Just pay attention to everything. Things will be unclear for a while, but eventually it makes sense...for the most part. |
