Synopsis

Review JUDGE (dir. Hiroshi Negishi) (Manga Video), 50 mins,
cert 15, ｣8.99
JUDGE isn't well known in anime fandom. The story
begins in the offices of a large Japanese trading company,
some of whose executives have been dipping their fingers
in the till and dealing dirtily with those who might expose
them.
In the world of JUDGE, justice is ultimately dealt out,
when the ordinary legal system fails, by the Law of
Darkness. The dead seek retribution from the spirit world
for the crimes committed against them, and their pleas
are communicated through the Statute Book, a living
collection of judicial precedents recorded on human skin
and controlled by the merciless Judge of Darkness.
In the real world, the hero is Mr Nice Guy, clumsy,
passed over for promotion and treated with some
contempt by his colleagues, except for one girl who is
clearly fond of him. His secret identity is known to
nobody. He is an attractive character, but the name of
Clark Kent comes rather too quickly to mind. When he
stumbles on some clues rather by accident, the real action
begins.
JUDGE is a very black comedy. The animation is
nothing special, but the British dubbing is good and the
storyline holds one's attention sufficiently for the fifty
minutes to pass pleasantly enough.
