But who is the real Runa? Fleeing from her pursuers, she hides by splitting herself into other Flickers. Each one helps Kyosuke uncover a sliver of the truth more unbelievable and suspicious than the last.

        The revelations pile up in this gothic psycho-adventure, as Kyosuke learns that he really is the son of scientist Tsubaki Tokisaka and hospital director Dr. Richard Vincent. He also learns that Shiro's sister, Yui Kirahara, who controls the all-powerful Kirahara Group, has been hunting Flickers to create the SoulAnubis. This composite monster is supposed to help her find Kyosuke's lost twin sister Runa and fulfill her contract with an unseen, Darth Vader-voiced creature. (Runa unconsciously created the Flickers as a self-defense mechanism.) The dramatic confrontation between Kyosuke and the SoulAnubis--who fights using a combination of violence and guilt trips--is awkwardly directed and hard to follow. Soul Hunter offers a staccato, state-of-the-art mixture of computer graphics, odd camera angles, flashbacks, monochromatic imagery, and still artwork, but the story feels like a retread. Rated 16 Up: Graphic violence, grotesque imagery, profanity, tobacco use. --Charles Solomon

          This dark fantasy-adventure borrows elements from Evangelion and Gasaraki and presents them in the style of Lain. Kyosuke Date's life becomes a waking nightmare as he discovers that his mother was murdered, he is a powerful mutant, and fragments of his sister's soul have become humanlike creatures called "Flickers." The Flickers are mercilessly hunted by the cruel vice president of an infinitely powerful conglomerate, the Kirihara Group. Kyosuke takes up with the sardonic Shiro Mibu, the sworn enemy of the Kirihara, and is soon battling giant robots and screeching maniacs. Series director Akiyuki Shinbo uses all the latest tricks: rapid-fire editing, weird colors (including blood-red frames), repeated close-ups of crosses and other objects, still frames juxtaposed with battle sequences, etc. But these flashy visuals can't disguise the slightness of the familiar story. Rated 16 Up: Considerable violence, grotesque imagery, profanity, alcohol and tobacco use. --Charles Solomon

                  Revelations continue to pile up--although they obscure as much as they reveal--as this gothic adventure reaches its conclusion. Kyosuke visits the Moon and encounters his grandfather Daigo's brain, floating in a tank. Daigo conducted the secret experiments with the drug Beta Applicon that turned humans into mutants: he got the drug from the last member of an alien race who hoped to produce a mate. Kyosuke and his twin sister Runa are the ultimate products of those experiments, and during their climactic battle, they debate whether they're human or alien. These last episodes borrow heavily from Akira and Evangelion, but lack the dramatic punch of their models. Director Akiyuki Shinbo bombards the viewer with still artwork, negative frames, simulated slow motion, and images that suggest stained glass, but the visual flash can't disguise the thinness of the story. Rated 16 Up: Graphic violence, grotesque imagery, profanity, brief nudity, tobacco use. --Charles Solomon

                    The cast of this 10-part TV series expands as more villains, "Flickers," and mutants, including Nakahara, whose cutesy design and manner clash with the overall gothic tone, join Kyosuke Date and the hard-bitten Shiro. In "Beyond the Human Realm," Kyosuke discovers he may not be the child of the parents who raised him, but the mutant offspring of scientist Tsubaki Tokisaka and the sinister director of the hospital, Dr. Richard Vincent. Kyosuke discusses these questions while battling enemies in both his human and monster forms. Director Akiyuki Shinbo throws in computer graphics, weird camera angles, dream sequences, monochromatic images, negative frames, crucifixes, and still artwork, but the story remains so minimal and the exposition so fragmented that each episode of Soultaker feels like more and more about less and less. Rated 16 Up: Graphic violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, profanity, tobacco use. --Charles Solomon
