Meh

Warning: Spoilers
A programming student utilizes occult magic and computer technology to summon a demon into the physical world.

The whole thing felt very boring as hell. That I kept on tapping the screen just to check how long was the film.

The character development is hardly there Yumeko aside from being an apparent childhood friend of the protagonist has very little to no detail. Majority of the film she is dead from just using her powers and just being princess carried.

I will admit does have some good art style for it's time but yeah still boring.

A dazzlingly off-beat Satanic Manga gem!

I really love the trenchant weirdness of this colourfully off-beat 80s Manga gem! It plays out in an enjoyably lurid fashion, employing a sinisterly strange Lovecraftian take on cult horror classic 'Evilspeak' (1983). Creepy Computer kid invokes mythological demon, Loki, who then immediately runs bloodily amok, cue wildly psychedelic eruptions of pinkly tendrilled terror, gloopy oodles of perverse, pan dimensional devilry, and hyperbolically acrobatic good vs evil sky bound combat! While the plot is especially strong, Nishikubo's bedevilled manga includes some captivating artwork, engaging fantasy elements,and the righteously groovy synth-heavy score is monstrously ear-worming treat!
