If you're an anime fan, you already know to look past the mumbo jumbo plots and enjoy the visual scope of a battle between good and evil.

Religious mumbo-jumbo, turgid storytelling and lackluster animation drag down this anime fantasy.

The Mystical Laws is an (un)holy mess, a religious tract masquerading as a paint-by-numbers hero's journey.

"The Mystical Laws" works neither as a straightforward sci-fi anime nor as a recruitment and advancement tool for the beliefs of Happy Science.
