User PxHC (Score: 8/10):
Thirteen scientists are the new apostles. They are creating a new race for the new world, and the revival of God. Our hero is the son of one of the apostles, and a failed experiment presumed destroyed, but he is now back for brutal, bloody, body-horror, vengeance. He ends up teaming up with some dumb kids, descendants of the Jesus’ clan, but he is just too badass to care about any of their shenanigans, and just bathes in the blood of his enemies. He also, somehow, pulls a cool badass sword out of nowhere, for no reason... what? Dumb violent and trash to the core, fora 1990 OVA there is a disturbingly low amount of nudity, and just in the last episode we get some weird furry tits. But we can overlook this fault by just how gruesome and weird everything is. How this masterpiece of B gore awesomeness went for so long without a review, or even a single forum comment, just shows the moral decadence of the anime community as a whole.nn10/10 would watch again.
