Anime Movie - Legend of the Millennium Dragon (Onigamiden)

Onigamiden is in short a fight for the rights of underprivileged who were a nuisance to the privileged because they decided to fight back for their homes. At first it looked like the Oni were bad guys, scary killers without a reason, but it's amazing how fast things got turned around. I got a feeling that they purposely confused the audience to add that twist of surprise when things turn out differently than expected. The main character was kinda wimpy and out of place, but with amazing sense of justice and need to do the right thing. It even looked like they got the wrong guy, since this hero was pretty untypical. Despite all that Onigamiden was interesting, intense, compassionate anime movie where good beats evil and rights all wrongs. I must also add that I was disappointed with only one thing; the animation was lacking, it was simple and looked more like it was meant for those low level mass production weekend anime for kids. All in all, the justice emphasized story, the atypical hero and really beautiful scenery should be reason enough to give this movie a chance.
