Description:

Director Akitaro Daichi belatedly develops some chemistry between the sake-swilling female samurai Tsukikage Ran and her chattering sidekick, Lady Meow. In "There Was No God in This World," Meow is initially taken in by the cult leader Rokkan but helps to defeat him once his corrupt practices have been exposed. Tsukikage attracts a would-be student: Stephanie, a Caucasian giantess who nurtures weird illusions about Japanese society, in "That European Girl Was Huge." She's strong as an ox, clingy as a tick--and difficult to get rid of. The story takes an oddly serious turn in "I Counted On an Enemy." Meow revisits a childhood friend, only to discover she's now a wealthy dealer in "dream incense," obviously a euphemism for opium. Tsukikage Ran aired on the Japanese satellite channel Wowow in 2000. (Rated 13 and older: violence, profanity, alcohol use, implied drug use) --Charles Solomon
