Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation is a Japanese animation 25-minutes movie directed by Park Sung-hoo based on the anime by Eiichiro Oda.
A stolen dragon horn sparks off a mythical tale that warns of the impending arrival of dragons, with only the horn capable of controlling them.
No, we’re not in another prequel to “Game of Thrones”. This time, it’s Japanese animation based on Eiichiro Oda’s manga (One Piece), where once again, historical periods, mythology, and lots of comedy intertwine in a unique and whimsical 25-minute adventure.
“Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation” is just a short and incredibly amusing story that appears to be set in the American West. It features a samurai trying to woo a waitress, reminiscent of Cyrano de Bergerac, stubbornly – seemingly – determined to confront a dragon and a con artist who suspiciously reminds us of The Joker.
Another delightful adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga, which brings us back into the realm of this exceptional author and his humor-filled universes that skillfully blend different eras and environments to create new realities.
And yes, you’ll have to wait until the end to uncover the conclusion of this romance that, together with con artists and swordsmen, will surely entertain you.
Enjoy!
