Philadelphia Inquirer
A genre pastiche that's fun to watch, although it's also frustrating. - 75
New York Daily News
Beautiful, witty and provocative, this is one genre film that ought to appeal to fans and non-fans alike. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
The animation is rich and densely detailed, the characters well defined. - 70
Washington Post
If you appreciate fine animation and edgy material, this blood's for you. - 67
Austin Chronicle
As usual with anime features, just because it's animated doesn't mean it's for kids; heads roll and blood spurts, so know that going in, mom and dad. For the older crowd, though, it's gory and gorgeous bliss. - 67
Portland Oregonian
Exciting, gory, funny and, like much of anime, a bit cheesy. - 60
The New York Times
Handsome, well-executed film that nonetheless feels a bit long at 111 minutes. Those who are already anime fans will certainly find it stimulating; but this may not be the one to convert the uninitiated. - 60
New Times (L.A.)
Doesn't quite scale the heights it could and should, often because of its inappropriate humor, which could be blamed on cultural mistranslation.
