Has anyone on this board ever seen any of the anime films sponsored by Happy Science (a Japanese new religious movement based, loosely, on Buddhist teachings)? Several of their films including the latest, to be released later this year, are mentioned (here (http://www.animenation.net/blog/2009/08/13/happy-science-announces-new-anime-movie/))

I would love to hear from anyone who saw one of these. I remember reading somewhere that these things actually pick up a pretty good audience in Japan.

Here is a link (http://www.mania.com/hermes-winds-love_article_74255.html) to the AOD review (by Chris Beveridge [given the percentage of reviews he has done then and now] I would guess but currently uncredited) from 2002. A big bonus is there is quite a bit of additional material in the review that was researched and helps put the title into perspective.

I passed on the title when I saw it in a BB after reading the review as I felt there were other titles I would enjoy more.
