This is great. Superficially similar in animation style to the MTV show CELEBRITY DEATH MATCH, it's deep and disturbing. An interloper disrupts the harmony of a cloistered couple, creating a rivalry that ends in confusion, loss, mutilation and death. There's a little gore, a touch of cannibilism, and some weird prosthetic action. It's very surprising to find this world-class work nesting here among the usual odds and ends.
