Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
SoulTaker spawned from a 1999 OVA by the same director, who reportedly made this series after being told his style was 'too weird for TV.'
This predates the mid-2000s 'edgy protagonist with inner demon' anime boom—Kyosuke's angst and transformation DNA is visible in countless later series, though rarely this visually unhinged.
