Description:

Many of the sex scenes in the 1986 manga by Kazuo Koike and Ryoichi Ikegami that raised eyebrows in Japan were preserved in this six-part OAV (1989). Potter Yoh Hinamura was brainwashed and made a master assassin by the Chinese mafia, the 108 Dragons. During a hit, Yoh is seen by artist Emu Hino. When he comes to murder her, she seduces him and wins his heart; in defiance of gang law, he refuses to give her up. In the second episode, Emu and Yoh are given the new names Fu Chinran and Lon Tayan, and made the leaders of the 108 Dragons. But Yoh has a lot of old scores to settle--plus some new ones--that lead to an orgy of stabbings and shootings. Crying Freeman is not for the squeamish or prudish. (Rated 17 and older, but appropriate for 18 and older: graphic violence, torture, nudity, sexual situations) --Charles Solomon
