Unico
Dripping with Euro-kitsch, The Fantastic Adventure of Unico is an audio-visual summation of 'kawaii' (cute), with a stylistic leaning toward shojo manga (girls' comics).

Unico's accent on dizzying visual sensations is suggestive of the emotions and themes of Romantic and Gothic sources in this story of a baby unicorn befriended by a kitten, a young girl and her aging grandmother.

A handsome satanic prince is a menacing yet seductive force that propels the melodramatic throb of this darkly cute story.
