Wow, this scores almost perfect in everything: Artwork, music, action, character design. A very super-hero type story line, reminiscent of American comic books, with a bit of mecha thrown in. Karas also has that typical Japanese complication and mysticism that you likely will need two viewings to unravel, but I don't think you'll mind, it's only six episodes and it is such a treat for the senses. I could have done with a touch more relationship and warmth between the characters, but I have no reservations about recommending this series. Check out the extensive Wikipedia entry for more story and production background.

YES!!! Amazing! I've seen 3 episodes so far, (because the other 3 haven't come out yet)and Karas is one of my favorite. fascinating and thought-provoking come to mind when I watched it for the first time. Not to mention the art and animation which exceed any I've ever seen in an anime. A+++ There will be 6 episodes total. I wish the other 3 would come out soon. But don't let that stop you from buying this one. It's a keeper.

(June 15th, 2005) The first episode is WOW!! Opening with the two Karas locked in a ten-minute battle in which they soar like combat aircraft, only to transform into armored samurai knights, this series relies on a LOT of beautiful and complicated computer-generated images. And then the story shifts to a police detective investigating the multiple murders in a public restroom. A lot of great scenes, a lot of strangeness, nothing explained clearly, but enough to make me look forward to the next episode. (November 15th, 2005) This series is will be released as a six episode OVA (two episodes per DVD). 2005-05-28 (Japanese DVD Volume 1 Release) Last updated Monday, November 14 2005. | ||||||||
