For those of us raised in non-Japanese households, this is an unsual entry. Filled with very open portrayals of hyper-masculine same-sex desire, this anime is nevertheless odd from a western point-of-view.

The gay content is very much on the forefront, and would no doubt be minimized if not completely removed by a standard American release.

This films is a fun and unsual diversion from generalized american queer horror fare. Though this is done as a 'cartoon' and the characters do not react in ways that Americanaudiences would expect, the same sex desire is hot and obvious -- though the 'horror' content is minimal.
