Product Description

On a mountaintop in Japan rests a giant stone statue. Evildoers beware, for whenevever the oppressed cry to the heavens for salvation and innocent lives are threatened the stone champion of justice will awaken and punish those who do not believe in his power. He is the spirit of vengeance, and the wrath of God given form.

4.0 out of 5 stars Daimajin returns, August 5, 2005

By	Alexander O. Teitz "femmusic" (Denver, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I was growing up in Worcester, MA I used to watch The Creature Double Feature and see the best films including Frankenstein, Dracula, Gamera, Godzilla, and many others. For many years I've been searching for Daimajin, without knowing its name. I always remembered it in black and white.
Seeing the first volume in color, and letterbox is a treat. Yes, it's a standard story of good vs. evil. Yes, the subtitles are not very sophicated. Even so, Daimajin ranks up there with the great monster films. It has its own style and flair.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much improved video, but audio is a problem, March 7, 2005

By	R. Fischer (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

ADV Films's 2005 release of Daimajin vol. 1 offers a sharper image with less print wear and deeper color saturation than their prior DVD edition, a packaged set of all three Daimajin films. This edition also contains the original Japanese opening credits, unlike ADV's prior DVD and VHS releases.

One annoying glitch: the sound is slightly out of synch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Squishin' The Badguys..., July 19, 2009

By	Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein "bigfootsalienbaby" (under the rubble) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

DAIMAJIN is a god trapped in a huge stone statue. His people cry out for his vengeance after being taken over and enslaved by eeeevil warlords. DAIMAJIN angrily obliges, destroying the samurai thugs like so many cockroaches under his thundering feet! His rampage is very well done, a satisfying start to the DAIMAJIN TRILOGY...
