Karas tells the story of Otoha, a former yakuza, living in a fictional version of Shinjuku, Tokyo populated by humans and yōkai (Japanese spirits). He is one of the titular karas, humans appointed as superpowered agents of the land. Able to transform into a car, an aircraft, and an armored crusader; the skilled swordsman is to stop his corrupt predecessor, Eko, from taking over Tokyo. Supporting characters such as Eko's former henchman, Nue; the yōkai; and Homura, the karas of another city, help Otoha in his quest.
Karas was originally released as six episodes, and was later compiled into two feature length films. They featured extremely fast paced action, some incredible enemy design and gorgeous animations techniques that made viewers drool. It's a little light on the story, but that's okay, with visuals like these you can forgive a lot of things.
Genre: Action
