Los Angeles, CA – Oct 21, 2019 –<\/strong> DARKCOAST <\/em>releases the most demented and brutal anime film of the year – ‘VIOLENCE VOYAGER’ – onto digital platforms today, Oct. 21:<\/em> https:\/\/amzn.to\/35LJTgy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“VIOLENCE VOYAGER<\/em> – a strange and yet incredibly interesting horror animation film,” wrote Animated Observations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the innovative and unique animation style of writer\/director Ujicha, who is best known for his first feature, The Burning Buddha Man<\/em>, which incorporates the unique 2-D animation technique of “Gekimation”, VIOLENCE VOYAGER<\/em> is his second feature employs the same technique with meticulous hand-painted paper cutouts, created in-camera effects with light and fluids.<\/p>\n

“The painted cutouts lend everything a storybook quality, and as that storybook descends into Cronenbergian madness — complete with paper cutouts bleeding and vomiting and… other stuff — the obvious power of the medium to tell this kind of viscerally unsettling story becomes apparent,” wrote Signal Horizon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Set in the present-day Japanese countryside, two friends, Bobby (Aoi Yûki) and Akkun (Shigeo Takahashi), set on an adventure to visit a friend on the other side of the mountain. Taking a shortcut, the friends soon stumble upon an amusement park called “Violence Voyager”. But when the friends are welcomed in the friendly owner, Koike, unsettling acts are unleashed. Consisting of Quentin Tarantino-esque blood squirts, acid attacks, and grotesque body dismemberment and mutation, the boys must work alongside the other children captured by the park to fend off a number of deadly attacks as they gradually learn the truth behind the facility.<\/p>\n

“Its unflinching gore and disturbing imagery this is unquestionably a beautifully animated film with the Gekimation style really only making the film stand out further as it looks like a comic book brought to life,” wrote Asian Cinema Film Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n
