story

"KINGDOM OF CHAOS -BORN TO KILL-" is a story set in a chaotic world, where the protagonist, a warrior, faces his own destiny and overcomes various challenges. As it is an original anime, one of its charms is the free development that is not bound by existing original works. Each episode depicts the growth and conflict of the protagonist as he fights different enemies.

character

The main character, a warrior, is portrayed as a character with a cold-hearted fighting style and a deep inner self. One of the highlights is the process in which his past and goals are gradually revealed. In addition, the enemy characters that appear in each episode are also unique, making it easy for viewers to keep watching.

Visuals and Music

Visually, the film is characterised by colours that emphasise a dark atmosphere and intense battle scenes. In particular, the battle scenes, which make extensive use of CG, were quite advanced for an OVA at the time. The music also plays a role in heightening the tension of the story, with excellent use of the background music selection and sound effects.

Directed and produced

Director Taisuke Kato has fully demonstrated his talent in this work. Combined with the production skills of Idea Factory, Inc., the result is a high-quality work. In particular, the attention to detail in the development of the story and the portrayal of the characters is highly praised.

Evaluation and Impressions

My personal assessment is that this work is of a very high level as an OVA. The depth of the story, the charm of the characters, the quality of the visuals and music, everything is satisfying. However, the only thing I'm not happy about is that it's only four episodes long. I think if it had been a longer series, I would have been able to enjoy a deeper worldview.

Recommended points

Here are some reasons why we recommend this work:

• Dark worldview and story : Stories set in a chaotic world have the power to draw viewers in.
• Unique characters : The charm of the characters, including the protagonist, adds excitement to the entire work.
• High-quality visuals and music : The visual technology was advanced for an OVA at the time, and the music that enhances the story is a perfect match.
• Director's commitment : The story development and character portrayal, which reflect Kato Taisuke's commitment, enhance the quality of the work.
