Synopsis
Anthology film with three segments: aliens searching for friends, girls competing in a battle royale, and vampires with infected survivors.
The film features three distinct segments, each with its own unique setting and premise, blending together into a single cohesive anthology. The first segment, titled Ellians, follows an alien girl who teams up with a space agency civil servant on a frantic search for friends. Following that is Yoroshiku★Shoujo, a chaotic battle royale narrative that centers on a group of girls competing in a fierce game known as "Queen of Butterfly." The final story, Nocturne ~In This Grotesque Night~, chronicles the journey of a pureblood vampire and three girls who managed to survive by becoming infected after she fed on them.
