HELLBOY SWORD OF THE STORMS ANIMATION (DVD Rip)

Hellboy: Sword of Storms is the first of the Hellboy Animated series based on Mike Mignola's popular comic book series Hellboy and the live-action film of the same name.The film was produced by Starz Media's Film Roman and Revolution Pictures and co-produced, co-written, and directed by animation veteran Tad Stones. Stones is perhaps best-known as the creator of the popular Disney Afternoon series Darkwing Duck.

A Japanese professor of folklore named Professor Sakai opens a forbidden scroll and becomes possessed by the ancient Japanese demons of Thunder and Lightning, who seek to return and summon their brothers, the Dragons, to dominate the human world. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense is brought in after Sakai attacks one of his associates. Hellboy and a team of agents (including Kate Corrigan) investigate the possessed man's rampage, but when Hellboy picks up a mysterious, discarded samurai sword, he literally disappears into a weird wonderland of Japanese mythology. On his quest to return to our world, he encounters many monsters (yōkai) intend on taking the sword from him, including the kappa, a giant oni, a trio of rokurokubi, a Jorōgumo, and three restless ghosts. Hellboy also meets a group of nukekubi in a segment of the film that is adapted virtually verbatim from the comic book story, Heads.
