Synopsis

When Tanpei Kimokawa comes across a nearly naked girl injured in a railyard, he drops everything to administer first aid. Only afterward does he realize that she bears a stark resemblance to the girl tattooed on his back. Some time later, when he finds himself overwhelmed by thugs, that same girl returns to protect him.

He soon learns that the mysterious girl is Betty Valentine, a witch from the demon realm who has traveled to Earth in order to get revenge on the demon that killed her sister. Not caring about her origins, Tanpei accepts her, and they quickly fall in love. However, if Tanpei is to appease Betty's family, he will have to prove that their love is strong enough to overcome a series of trials.

It seems that the story is disjointed because they're trying to compress the manga into a 50 minute movie. There's no development of the characters and we can't understand their motivations at all. Why does Betty fall in love with the male lead and marry him within 3 minutes of their first meeting? Why does he immediately cheat on his "beloved" wife other than his being a stereotypical 80s dude? Even on the plot level nothing really makes sense. People are fighting each other because of... reasons?

This is interesting as a historical look at the art of its time, but not for anything else.

ok this anime is a complete mess were the characters are just fascinating enough that if done right there might be something there. with that said the time given while entertaining there is not much to the characters. the plot is a complete mess and less a plot and more a very messily told journey. the animation is average and really outside of the nudity there is nothing worth noting about it. really the main reason to watch this is for those looking for something so bad it is good. there were seven times i just stated what because of how rush ...
