The balance between these two dimensions has long been upheld by the city's guardian raven Karas and his masters. But that balance has been thrown into disarray as Eko a former Karas has attempted to seize power and bring order to the streets through force. The entity Yurine who represents the will of the people stands in his way with her newly risen Karas. Now an ageless battle stretching across both dimensions and killing humans and spirits alike is in progress between the two sides and their armies. Karas is humanity s last hope.

Karas: the Prophecy (2005) is the first installment in an OVA marking the 40th anniversary of Tatsunko Productions, the studio that made Speed Racer, Gatchaman, and Generator Gawl. Karas was obviously a big-budget production, and the English dub features Jay Hernandez, Matthew Lillard, and Piper Perabo. Karas ("The Crow") is the guardian spirit of Tokyo, but the city is thrown into disarray when Eko, a former Karas, returns and attempts to seize power. Yurine, an entity who embodies the will of the people, summons Nue, a sort of Karas-in-training, to defeat Eko. The two-part fantasy saga borrows from numerous animated and live-action sources, including Ghost in the Shell II, Demon City Shinjuku, Spider-Man, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Action fans may enjoy the aerial combats, sword fights between armored foes, 2-D/3-D transformations, explosions, monster attacks, and car chases, but director Keiichi Sato's nervous camerawork and choppy cutting rob what should be show-stopping scenes of their punch. Although highly anticipated, Karas is an overproduced mess. (Unrated, suitable for ages 17 and older: graphic violence, grotesque imagery, profanity, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

- If there is one contemporary anime film that is the equivalent of a summer blockbuster, it would have to be KarasKaras: The Prophecy is the first of two installments of this Tatsunoko Productions movie series (Gatchaman, Speed Racer), honoring their 40th anniversary. The Karas movies were created and directed by Keiichi Sato, who also contributed to several other anime works including Big O and Wolf's Rain. Overseas licensing was given to Manga Entertainment for distributing and voice-over dubbing. The English audio track features the vocal talents of Jay Hernandez (Hostel, World Trade Center), Matthew Lillard ... Read More

- No seizures please.Incredible fight scenes for a about 1/3 of the movie with an amazingly confusing storyline for the rest of it. The story is explained in "Karas: The Revelation", but that does not cut down on its intensity at all. If anything, I'd think you'd pay more attention to try to figure it out.
Movie opens and closed with a fight scene. The fights are mostly cgi incorperated into an animated backround. They take the animation seriously though, from animating cold foggy breath the the rainbow pixelization ... Read More

- Great animation and good fightsThis is one anime that can require several watches for alot of people. On the very first watch it can seem like a total incoherent mess. The truth is, no story is revealed until around the 40 minute mark. There is absolutely no character development. The saving grace is definitly the fight scenes and animation.
The story is a demon race had their bodies changed into some metallic form of demon. Karas is out to exterminate these demons. The movie can be very hard to follow and it does move pretty ... Read More
