You won't understand this film, unless you have played the Batonetta video game, from which it is derived. But then, if you have played the game, you won't need a film retelling you the story (or a semblance of it, thereof) that you already know with a few minor changes. This anime is a compilation of violence, blood (rivers of it), gunfire, trash-talking, and in case of its English version, profanity. The voice acting is poor and the animation is choppy.

Plot hole: Cereza compels Luka to take her glasses and put them on. The glasses enable Luka to see the otherwise invisible "ghosts"/Angels. For all intents and purposes, the glasses possess some magical properties. When Luka returns the glasses and asks "Your glasses, are they magic?", Cereza responds "No. They're not magic, silly. I can see the ghosts without them." This mistake is the outcome of the filmmakers having imported a lot of English dialog lines from the Bayonetta video game without proper regards to the context. In the video game, Cereza distinctly enchants the glasses before giving them to Luka, and from the context, it is clear that she means "the glasses ipso facto have no magic of their own." (00:50:30 - 00:53:30)

Trivia: This film was first made in Japanese, then dubbed to English. A significant change in the dubbing was the addition of profanity to Luka's speech.
