[Anime of the Week] Tokko (1/9-15/2010)

Well last feature was a fanservice anime, and well this one is in a way... but it's more like violence and more violence. It played on SyFy channel back when it was SciFi in the States. Back when SciFi had the best anime on mondays =( I miss those days.

Something interesting about this anime is it is based on a manga by the artist of GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka). :D That auta have sold you on wanting to watch this. Pfft.
