Some ask "why review something you don't like". The answer is: as a warning. There are plenty of things I dislike in anime. This one movie however is the only thing in the world I can think of that genuinely has absolutely no value to it. It is appalling. When I say this movie is worthless I genuinely mean that. I don't know how anyone involved in its production can be satisfied with themselves at all. Genuinely one of the top ten worst experiences of my life which is a feat in and of itself. This is an insult to batman fans. A disgrace to anime. And an abomination to the human race. I'm genuinely ashamed to be a part of the same species that created this and I feel like every time I am reminded of its existence that my day is ruined and my life worsens as a whole. Do not watch this garbage. There is nothing to gain from doing so. No comedic value in the "so bad it's good" kind of way. No fanservice in any sense of the word. Nothing. Everything this movie has to offer is simply a waste of time.

I regret ever having watched it. I would love to get to the review where I state everything bad about it but I want to say something good first and that is a seemingly impossible task. Imagine in your head for a moment something truly awful you remember experiencing. Be it some food that made you throw up, an extremely bad video game you spent 60+ dollars on. Just anything that you can think of that was pure regret from the moment it happened. That is this movie except it's stretched out to fill the length of a film. It is a genuinely horrid experience in which you witness some of the worst art style and animation I have ever seen coupled with voice over-acting with a lousy script that has a TERRIBLE plot and no substance whatsoever. I would've rather watched an hour and a half long commercial for batman toys than watch this because at least in the hypothetical commercial the goal would be to sell me something thereby giving it purpose. Here it is as if they didn't even try to do anything even remotely interesting with the characters they were given. As a long time batman fan I have read and seen countless stories that not only managed to make me think harder about the character and life in general but also feel for fictional characters. This film did the opposite, it is devoid of feeling and made me think my emotions were being drained by a black hole that left nothing but an empty husk that only knew surviving and not living.

I cannot imagine why or how the people that made this managed to fuck up a concept like samurai batman this badly but they did. All they had to do was copy the batman Manga verbatim and that would have been lazy but at least it would've been hundreds of thousands of times more enjoyable than this.

Stay away from this unless you'd like to torture someone by having them watch it on loop.

P.S. it didn't let me give it a 0. This shit is absolutely worthless which to me warrants a 0. The only 0 I'd ever give is this. Due to the nature of the site I am forced to give it a 1.
