There was a plot to this movie, but the point of this movie is not the plot, but rather the stunning animation (on par with Ninja Scroll) and well executed fight scenes. Baoh reminds me in some ways of "Guyver" in that he is an organic superhero with all sorts of fun abilities. It's somewhat mindless, and as I said before, quite light on the plot and character development, but surprisingly enjoyable anyway. An interesting touch is that Baoh apparently cannot speak when transformed, although they sometimes allow the audience to hear his thoughts. I found the voice acting average. Both Walken and the head of Doress overacted their parts terribly, especially the latter, but most of the rest were competent if not overwhelming. Music was also eminently forgettable, but appropriate for whatever scene it was in. Also somewhat lacking was character development. All the characters were pretty much stock for the genre, but I list that as a neutral factor. If they weren't riveting, at least they weren't boring or stupid. I said it before, and I'll say it again. As animation goes, it's one of the best I've ever seen. Good thing too, because it's all the movie has. - DB, 98.11.30
