About Darkside Blues

Here is what Darkside Blues is about, retold in plain terms: a sci-fi, mystery and psychological anime by J.C.Staff (1994). The premise: The Persona Century Corporation has purchased nearly every parcel of land on earth. Dissension is not tolerated within the corporation's borders and those who oppose Persona are dealt with swiftly.

Beyond that: Of those few places not yet under Persona's control is the free town of Kabuki-cho, also known as "The Dark Side of Tokyo". Within the town, under the leadership of a woman named Mai, is a small resistance group called Messiah. Into this realm steps a man who takes the sobriquet of Kabuki-cho: Darkside.

As a sci-fi title, ideas, tech concepts and production design set it apart. It will appeal most to fans of futuristic settings and big-concept stories.
