He has to go on a secret mission, to find the notes of Viktor Frankenstein, who reanimated the first human corpse.

“While the Empire of Corpses is by far one of my most favorite films of all time, you have to be prepared to go full in when watching it. Itu0026#39;s not your typical anime movie, it deals with big problems, and stuffs so much into its 2 hour and 6 min run time, that I found myself watching it twice just to process it all. The animation is stunning, the characters believable and u0026#39;u0026#39;humanu0026#39;u0026#39; and the overarching question of what it means to have a soul really makes this film. The ending (as youu0026#39;ll find most people were unhappy with) is due to the writer passing away before finishing. After learning this I take it as creative liberty on the co-writeru0026#39;s behalf, as I believe weu0026#39;ll never know the true ending the writer was aiming for. To sum this up, I give this movie a 9/10, the 9 only because of the ending. Which I noted before I can look past.”
