Have you seen this? want to / seen some / seen all

Alternative title:
Hi no Tori: Ho-o-hen (Japanese)
Phoenix: Karma Chapter
火の鳥 鳳凰編 (Japanese)
Themes: tragedy
Objectionable content: Significant
Plot Summary: This is an animation version of the most popular masterpieces of the Phoenix series. The characters are pictured quite differently from the way they are in the original Manga, and several arguments occurred over the production of this animated cartoon itself. However, the high quality direction by Rintaro added stability to the work. The story is about two characters, Akanemaru, a sculpture genius, and ex-burglar Gao whose only purpose in life is sculpting, and how they struggle with the fate to compete with each other over their capacity and talent.
