Synopsis

Two teens drown in a river, get rescued by a dragon, and learn they're dead. An old man offers to revive them if they explore the spirit world to find their purpose, leading them through hellish realms.

Moviegoers are saying

This anime film has achieved cult status as an unintentionally hilarious religious propaganda piece that features everything from animated 9/11 sequences to tennis ball-wielding judges determining which of multiple hells viewers deserve. Despite universally low ratings, audiences can't help but be fascinated by its bizarre blend of isekai fantasy, chainsaw-wielding mountain spirits, and an hour-long tour through various afterlife punishments that's so earnestly unsubtle it becomes oddly endearing.

There are some neat ideas and cool sequences here, but they couldn't quite tie it together successfully, Then, the whole thing was building up to two teenagers learning that God is real and they're going to go spread the word. AND THEN, it's also one of those "it was all a…

At a glance the film appears to be an otherwise typical isekai fantasy anime, and it sort of is, except it involves the main leads dying and progressing through various stages and variants of hell in order for them to understand the meaning of life, and only then do they…

Guys wtf was this movie. Weirdddd religious undertones that came out of nowhere. And also incestuous undertones too. The animation was really pretty tho to be fair but sometimes it was really funny too. I liked the guy that judged what hell you went to though. He was…
