Based on one of the most popular videogames available for the Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn, this nicely animated bit of fisticuffs is, as usual, low on appreciable plot and dialogue but sports fine graphics as various Toshinden characters square off against one another. We watched the "uncut version" which, naturally, featured a fair amount of blood and gore and brief female nudity. A "version for younger viewers" is also available. Those collecting quality Japanese anime will certainly want to add this one; others may want to try out the edited version which is sure to be massively popular with younger audiences. Aud: P.(R.
