I've got Devil May Cry and Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight waiting in the Gorilla Position, and I'm rather stoked for both of them, but for some reason I felt compelled to pop in Shuten Doji, part of a cheap Go Nagai two-pack along with Mazinkaiser that cost twenty, maybe twenty-five bucks.
I kind of like Go Nagai's style, and I kind of can't stand it. It's gory and over the top, but from what I've seen there usually isn't enough of a storyline to make it a worthwhile package. Shuten Doji doesn't seem to be too different.
Episode 1 was, to be fair, mostly set-up, and I get the impression the next three fifty-minute episodes will be moving a lot faster. Even so, the first episode seemed a little bland, and offered almost no hints towards where the story is going.
Oh, and the female love interest spent most of the episode completely naked, which just feels awkward when it's that gratuitous.
We'll see if and when I finish it. With DMC and RoLW ready to rock, I don't know how long my Go Nagai urgings will last.
