Nazca - Eternal Power (Vol. 4)

Amazon.com

Director Hiroko Tokita uses every computer-generated effect and every cinematographic trick at his disposal to bring this tale of Inca warriors reincarnated as Japanese high school students to its conclusion.

The flashbacks in episode 10 complete the backstory of kendo master Tate (who is also the Inca lord Yawaru) and his previous attempt to release the destructive power of the god Iriyatesse to "cleanse" Earth. The reincarnated Tate tries again in the present, while the supporting characters switch sides, sometimes inexplicably. Tormented by his conscience, Daimon allies himself with Kiyoji and Tate's fiancée, Yuka; faith healer Kariya suddenly abandons Tate for his own scheme, somehow transporting everyone back to 16th-century Peru.

Yuka, Kiyoji, and their friends strive to block the release of Iriyatesse; Yuka and Kiyoji are ready to sacrifice their own lives, but will not harm the others--on either side. The three-way relationship among Tate, Yuka, and Kiyoji has gotten so entangled it's impossible to resolve satisfactorily--especially when it's complicated by questions of how characters who have traveled to the past can affect their own futures. But these problems won't prevent anime fans who prefer snazzy special effects to coherent story lines from enjoying the Nazca series.

Rated 13 and older for violence, brief nudity, and profanity. --Charles Solomon

Description

The souls of ancient Inca warriors have been reincarnated in the modern world to do battle with each other. On one side is Tate, whose twisted ideal of creating a perfect world means the destruction of all humanity. On the other side is Kyoji, who must fight to save humanity by stopping Tate from unleashing the ancient power known as Iryatesse, a power capable of destroying the entire planet. Now, with the tide of battle clearly turning towards Tate, Kyoji and his friends make one last desperate gamble to stop him from releasing Iryatesse. But to stop Tate, somebody must be willing to make an ultimate sacrifice. The saga to Nazca comes to a dramatic conclusion in this climactic final chapter.

Nazca.......2007-04-03

Well at firest i loved the story of this anime which is the first time they did about nazca history and such , but once you watch the first episode you want to watch more and you cant stop yourseelfe XD haha i recomend for the otako like me who love Fantasy adventure anime .

::Crying softly:: The best anime ever!.......2002-07-10

Okay, if you like anime, and you're into Inca, Maya, Aztec, Olmec, et cetera, than you'll love Nazca.

Eternal Power is the conclusion to the four video series entitled Nazca. In this we see Tate (voice acted by Takehito Koyasu) beginning to call upon Iriyatesse. It's a beautiful conclusion to a fantastic anime.

I would whole-heartedly reccommend this video subtitled, rather than dubbed for many reasons. The masin of which is that Tate is voiced by Takehito Koyasu, the voice actor of such beauties as Zechs Merquis (Gundam Wing), Ayanojyo Aburatsubo (Magic Users Club), Mosquiton (Master of Mosquiton the Vampire), Tomahome (Fushigi Yugi), and also Kosaburo in Pokemon.

The animation is glorious, and the music, well, the music is something else. Fantastic and awe-inspiring. The opening theme, "Ai no fugue" is actually the Well Tempered Clavier Fugue by Bach. The singing and voicing of this song brought tears to my eyes. I reccommend this to all otakus of all ages, and also to any fans of the Latin American and Japanese cultures. There are some great Kendo fights in here.

Loved it!! :).......2000-09-10

The fourth tape in this very interesting series brings the story around in a surprising turn. The re-incarnated Incan warriors continue to fight for their own beliefs, and they still form the two opposing sides that fate has brought them to, for the second time. I won't tell you what happens... ~.^ That would ruin the story, but I will tell you that if you made it through the (relatively) boring first tape, then you won't regret continuing to purchase and watch this series. The fourth tape brings in the drama and suspense that we all love from a good anime series. If you liked the first three tapes, you'll love the fourth tape!!
