Rating: - Trust me, you can do better. Didn't age well.
Okay, this is my 3rd and final try to review this title. Hopefully it sticks THIS time. I'll cut to the chase:
1) Harmagedon and Genma Wars are SEPARATE titles, as far as I can discern from available online resources... They follow different plot lines and characters, but may be derivative works from the same original Japanese novels? They share an antagonist named Genma. That's about it. This review pertains to Harmagedon, NOT Genma Wars.

Its real name is The Battle With Genma (or perhaps simply Genma Wars). This film was highly influential in Japan, especially for its realism, and it is considered a landmark among many ... Read More
Rating: - Possibly the worst anime I've ever seen
When I ordered Berserk, which is a spectacular anime, volumes five and six I recieved a demo disc along with them. On the disc were single episodes from five different animes. One of them was Genma Wars. This is quite possibly the worst anime I have ever seen. I'll admit that I've only seen one episode of the series and in most cases it's hard to make an accurate judgement based on that, but Genma Wars is in a completely awful class of it's own. The animation is terrible, the plot is so convoluted you'd ... Read More
