Unless you are a hard core Anime fan, you might want to skip this one. I used to read the Lady Death & Evil Ernie Comics back in High School. and always hoped for a day when the pages were brought to life on the screen. Sadly, this was not the best effort, and left a bitter taste in my mouth. I guess Lady Death would have fared better now and 7 years later, but 2004 was right in the thick of the Anime craze and this felt totally rushed and choppy.
The story of Lady Death has the potential to get an audience otherwise not familiar with her. A Swedish girl in the 15th century is burned at the stake for being a witch. While roasting alive she is more or less forced to recite a chant that sends her to hell. Once there, she confronts her father the devil, and promptly rejects anything he has to offer. Not one to be rejected Lucifer casts his daughter into the pits of hell to think over her position a bit more.
It is there that LD runs into Cremator who shares the hate for Lucifer and will train LD to harness her powers in order to wage the ultimate fight with her dad. We the viewers are then strapped in for a plodding story and dull delivery. The blood and gore were nothing too graphic, and considering that LD and Cremator ARE in hell, you would expect more messed up thiungs to come along their way. Not the case at all. It felt like I was watching an adult version of an after school cartoon.
not everything was bad though. The 13 year old in me STILL to this date couldn't stop staring at Lady's massive boobs and firm badonkadonk. Yeah childish, but c'mon man, she's stacked and has no problem looking the part. Lady's figure and almost lack of clothes reminded me of the Heavy Metal character Taarna, but unlike Lady Death Taarna gave us quite a show at the in the bath at the temple. The most we see from Miss death is some funky lingerie, and nothing in the way of seductive at all.
Oh well. Maybe if the creators of the semi snooze fest did a little research and time into it, this could've been a higher ranked movie.
