you think you are prepared for a maeda anime and then the mandala of hell scene happens and you just want to look away from the screen for a minute

that monster design in the basement was absolutely disgusting and i love how they used the dark shadows to make the psychic visions look more grounded and creepy

Watching the psychic lady describe those murders made my skin crawl, but the art style in the Mandala of Hell sequence is actually impressive for an old OVA. I know Maeda is famous for the over-the-top stuff and this episode definitely delivers on that front. The way Koji transforms to fight that killer was a massive highlight because the body horror was so gross and detailed.
