Plenty of kung fu hijinks abound but Armour of God never makes up for all of the crap you have to sit through.

I’ve heard many people describe this as a serious, “adult” anime, but I don’t buy it.

As a visual expression, it’s quite captivating and beautiful to behold.

I often describe this film as disturbing, but not for the normal reasons.

Compared to much of the anime coming out today, it seems pallid and stale.

It successfully combines high-tech action sequences with some interesting, if not moving human interest stories.

I find it very easy to get caught up in Miyazaki’s films, mainly because his films often resemble how I remember seeing the world as a child.
