“I think this film is based on an anime series. I donu0026#39;t know because Iu0026#39;m not into anime. However, I like Asian films and thought Iu0026#39;d give it a watch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is about a girl who watched her parents be murdered. I donu0026#39;t really know how she came to do this but in some way she was assumed dead but had actually sold her soul to the devil in return for her ability to seek revenge. Her family were wealthy due to a toy empire but they are also in service to the Queen as her watchdogs. Being as how a woman was not going to be allowed to run the family, the girl returns to her home posing as a boy and takes on the family empire and the responsibility of the Queenu0026#39;s watchdog while also seeking her revenge. She is guarded by a butler who happens to be a demon who, upon achieving her vengeance, will devour her soul. She has to figure out the cause of a series of murders that are in some way linked to the death of her parents. Thatu0026#39;s all Iu0026#39;m gonna say about the plot.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI thought the film was a bit overloaded with information but it ended up being a good watch for me. There are some decent action scenes and there is a fairly decent storyline. I think it wouldu0026#39;ve been better to have broke it up into two films so that everything could have been explained a bit better or with a bit more depth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot being a fan of anime, I didnu0026#39;t find this to be a bad film but it seems like fans of the anime story were disappointed. I dunno. I guess folks will have to draw their own conclusions. I found it to be interesting though.”
