Sage had a problem with the rapist character, because he was apparently one of the protagonists, but that character was not justified in his actions, as a matter of facts, his actions made him more despicable, we weren\\\'t supposed to be rooting for him all the way, plus he gets his comeuppance from his incest born daughter(maybe not the best way to resolve the issue, but issue resolved nontheless). Plus, this series is one with complicated Morality, ala Watchmen, Game of Thrones, and Legacy of Kain. The \\\"Good Guys\\\" aren\\\'t exactly all \\\"good guys\\\", what with the brother of the priestess being an incestual douchebag rapist, and the supposed Bad Guy, Yasunori Kato, is actually sympathetic is regards despite his evil demeanor, his black magic, and his desire to destroy Tokyo. Kato reasons for wanting to destroy Tokyo is because he was a decedent of the indigenous people of Japan who were wiped out by the Yamato Clan who laid the foundation for Tokyo. Since Kato is half Oni, he is able to live a long life span and possess dark powers. Kato wants to destroy Tokyo in order to avenge his people who were ruthlessly killed by the so called paragons of Truth and Justice that were the Yamato clan. Now that come to think about it, that ending where the priestess caresses Kato is probably the best possible ending because when you get down to it, Kato\\\'s the kind of character who needs a hug.
Rape as we know it, is the complete monster of crimes. As of which, it can\\\'t be played for comedy, at least not lighthearted high brow comedy, but it can be played for drama, it\\\'s just that using rape as drama too much can be seen as exploitative of the traumatic experience that is rape and the women who go through with it. Doing it this way too much has led people to call out writers for using this trope as quick, easy, and manipulative way to get tears flowing, pull heart strings, and justify roaring rampages of revenge.
Cutting and pasting this for now.
* \\\'\\\'Doomed Megalopolis\\\'\\\', a four-episode horror OVA from 1991 based on the novel \\\'\\\'Teito Monogatari\\\'\\\' by Hiroshi Aramata. While Vol 1. can be considered a thrilling horror action romp, the rest is a horrible mess due to its confusing logic, [[TheScrappy lack of likable characters]], several [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment dumb and pointless scenes that add nothing to the plot]], and a corny soundtrack.
The arguments for this series are starting to pile up and Sage\\\'s argument is not holding up as it used to do. Consider another anime salvation from the SBIH section, the search for horrible anime continues.
