Chimera: Angel of Death...
Way back when VCRs still stalked the Earth, I picked up the VHS version of Chimera: Angel of Death...
A turn of the century tale of evil and beauty! Her name is Rei. Her code name: Chimera. The dark wasteland of the underworld is her home. People call her many things, but she is always known as an angel of death. Where Rei treads, she leaves nothing but death and grief. An expert marksman, a silent assassin, and more woman then meets the eye, but her dark secret will soon be exposed. Is this her fate for all eternity? Trapped in her own private hell of death and destruction. Where did she come from? How much longer can she continue to kill, searching for the key that will free her from her mysterious past, and her unknown future. With stunning animation and plot twists that will keep your head turning, Chimera is certain to be an instant hit!Chimera revolves around a hit-woman with a difference. This is one of KITTY's few good releases. There's more than a little skin, a modest amount of blood (after all- people are being killed), a surprise flashback scene where we found out what makes this hit-woman different, and, ultimately, the suggestion of more to come. In the aftermath of the Ultimate Otaku Fall Cleanup, I decided not to keep it in my archive. I gave Chimera a 3 out of 5.
