Set in a future world characterised by the conspicuous consumption
of all types of pleasures, Speed Grapher follows former
war photographer Saiga into an underground world of mysterious
power. After venturing into the Roppongi Club in volume one,
Saiga has uncovered his own power to make things spontaneously
combust, and now he's on the run with the mysterious woman
Kagura...
The
stink of corruption permeates every brick in the city, and
Saiga's eyesight continues to grow worse by the day. As the
truth is revealed through the lens of a microscope, the photographer
is left to wonder which battlefield from his past made him
a player in this deadly game. But the genetic puzzle must
be left for another day, for Saiga has a promise to keep.
Speed
Grapher is a gritty science-fantasy animated series for
mature viewers. A potent and provocative cocktail of forbidden
sex, blood-spattered violence, conspiracy and intrigue. Add
to that mix an ultra-cool anti-hero, a beautiful teenage Goddess,
a fetishistic female detective and an ever-expanding line-up
of genetically mutated super-assassins and you get a pretty
good idea what you are letting yourself in for.
Volume
Four contains
the episodes:
Ginza
the Lawless: Ginza takes Saiga to visit Dr. Ryogoku. An
expert in the field of DNA reveals that the results of samples
taken from from Saiga and Kagura sheds new light on the Euphoria
Syndrome. Meanwhile, Suitengu realises that the only way he
will still be able to seize power is by marrying Kagura.
The
Wedding Photographer: Suitengu and Kagura's wedding plans
are going smoothly. The bride is under Suitengu's influence
and only thing missing is a photographer. Hmm I wonder who
might turn up at short notice with a camera.
Hell
is a Wet Woman: After Saiga rescues Kagura, the two take
off on the run. But they haven't reckoned on the the intervention
of a mysterious woman with a strange past. Saiga must come
to the rescue of Kagura once again as they are threatened
by a monster from the deep.
Audit
the Wicked: The Tennozu Group set about preparing for
their semi-annual financial audit - cue a clips show of some
of the show's highlights to date.
Extras
on this collection include Saito Documentary: Part 1
(49 min featurette that looks at the auditions for
Kagura Tennozo); Character Cast Auditions
(9 mins audio featurette that deals with another handful of
auditions for the American cast);
Art Gallery; Textless Opening and Closing Titles;
and Trailers.
Apart
from Audit the Wicked, which is basically a rather
disappointing clips show, this DVD is another entertaining
release for anime fans.
