Ningyo Sashichi: The Cat’s Golden Claws of Death has this curious blend of action and historical flair. The pacing's a bit uneven, but it really leans into the mood of Edo, with Sashichi—a charming, almost doll-like figure—at the center. His character is layered, juggling the role of a local boss while grappling with a string of murders in the community. The practical effects, particularly during the fight scenes, feel gritty and immersive, which adds to the tension. What stands out is the way it explores morality amidst chaos, and the performances are solid, grounding the sometimes wild narrative in a believable reality. It's a unique piece in the genre, albeit not without its flaws.
