    The synopsis in the details section is somewhat misleading - it makes the movie sound interesting. The movie doesn't take itself seriously and mixes cornball antics with martial arts - its probably geared toward a younger audience. A lot of CG is involved but nothing extraordinary, and the movie has a made for TV feel to it. The plot is half-baked too with both the demon and Chiba's characters' being where they are because of an unnatural infatuation with their sisters. I had a hard time sitting through this movie hoping Chiba and Kurata might save it somehow - but no such luck. How they managed to be part of this is difficult to understand and it is safe to say that this can be skipped.
