When they discover that the prison also houses a top-secret cloning facility, the deadly duo leads the inmates and the mutated victims of the government's cruel genetic experiments on a bloody uprising that will shake Dead Leaves to its very core. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Anime about a man with a television for a head and a woman with mismatched eyes who wake up with amnesia, are imprisoned on the moon, have a baby and kill lots of things. It's hyperactively paced with animation styles that change every few seconds, and it has almost no comprehensible plot; watching it is like putting an ultraviolet manga into a blender and trying to read it as the pieces swirl around. The artwork is great but the whole experience is kind of tiring.

This was like an insane bastard child between Aeon Flux, Fooly Cooly, Tank Girl, and Invader Zim. The action was non stop, and the visuals were complete eye candy. Totally crazy from start to finish, and deserves to be watched even if just for its uniqueness. Stunning to behold and funny to boot. I really enjoyed watching it.
