Lady Death: The Movie

Lady Death The Movie is a 2004 Americanproduced, Japanese animated film based on the comic book character Lady Death. This film was the first animation project produced by nowdefunct anime distributor A.D. Vision. It had premiered at the 2004 ComicCon convention.

Many of the events from the comics are altered in the animated film. Instead of summoning a demon with whom she bargains for her life, Hopes spell summons a pair of flying demons that carry her physically to Hell restoring her badly burned body in the process, dropping her in the court of her father, who intends for her to join him by his side. When she refuses, he casts her out, only for her to side with the master blacksmith Cremator, an escaped slave of his, and to lead an army of hellspawn creatures against him. In this continuity, her curse is to be trapped in Hell for as long as one of Lucifers allies remains alive. Unlike in the comic, Lady Death is presented as more of a heroine whose goal isnt to destroy all life on earth, but to liberate Hell from Lucifers tyranny.General reception has mostly been negative. Mike Dungan of Mania.com then known as AnimeOnDvd.com gave the film a C. Dungan states that the script limits the appeal of the movie. However, the animation and acting were fine in that this was a good first effort for ADV. ........
