Set in the near future, Genocidal Organ centers on Clavis Shepherd, a member of an elite black ops team of neurologically enhanced super soldiers tasked with hunting down “John Paul,” the CEO of an international consulting firm linked to a string of conflicts and genocides that appear to follow him everywhere he has traveled. Ryotaro Makihara’s The Empire of Corpses is based on an unfinished Itoh story, and boy - does it sure feel like it, while Michael Arias and Takashi Nakamura’s Harmony is pretty decent all in all but can’t quite match Genocidal Organ’s sleek visual style and thematic gravitas. The third entry in a trilogy of anime feature adaptations of the late Japanese sci-fi author Satoshi “Project” Itoh’s novels, Genocidal Organ is far and away the best of the bunch.
