A horrible virus is plaguing the land. Those infected become mindless corpses walking around trying to infect others by biting them. There is no cure, and what is worse, these walking corpses are immortal unless their heart is pierced. And said heart is protected by an organic steel cage making killing them almost impossible. Ikoma is a young man living peacefully in a small village. He's a bit of an inventor, working on a weapon that could pierce the heart of the corpses. When the village is attacked by the corpses and Ikoma himself is bitten he makes one last gamble. One of his inventions is supposed to stop the virus from infecting you. To his surprise, not only does it work, but it turns him into a hybrid. He has the strength of the corpses, but his mind is intact. He meets Mumei, a young girl who is extremely adept at killing the corpses. Together they set of on a journey with no real mission then to survive. It's the Zombie Apocalypse in Feudal Steampunk Japan! So, the first two movies are just a recap of the TV series with a couple of new scenes at the beginning and the end. Nothing revolutionary but it does have 5.1 sound. The third movie is the actual sequel to the TV series. I found the movie quite nice. The antagonist was much better then Biba, who was a little bitch to the end. All three movies look and sound great, of course. Hope they continue the franchise. **Series rating: 8/10** Subtitles are from Crunchyroll. https://anidb.net/anime/12246 https://anidb.net/anime/12654 Question: Did the operation to turn Mumei into a hybrid also age her body? Why would it do that? This part I never got. Mumei is supposed to be 12, but looks much older. But her being 12 doesn't matter at all in the story, so why include it?
