| Summary: |
In the 6th year of the Heisei period, according to the National Tax Administration, more than
two million companies are listed in Japan. They are categorized as Limited and Unlimited Partnerships, Joint-Stock Corporations,
and Limited Companies. However, there is only one business that does not belong to any type of company category. The company
is rumored to be a Ghost Company, Phantom Company, and a Mysterious Company... |
This company is owned by Ayaka Kisaragi, whose job is to exterminate evil spirits and various kinds of monsters. Many may consider this a most unusual business... This company is called "The Phantom Quest Corporation" (You-Gen-Kai-Sya).

short review: This film is an anime with four episodes, each one refering to another type of demon. Three of them are of no deeper interest for us (although they are quite entertaining), as they have nothing to do with vampires. But the first episode on the DVD - Kiss Of Fire - features a great, cruel and powerful master vampire and a young, friendly and helpful vampire forsworn to human blood. The plot shifts between action sequences and the (typical for that genre) comedy-parts. If you are willing to try something different from the usual stuff, do it - it's a nice diversion.  |
