Most people probably won't be put off by the quasi-anime style of the animation, but it brought nothing to the story for me. The same thing goes for the celebrity actors they employed for the voice-work. Most of Perlman's one-liners end up falling flat and the pointless action scenes seem to last forever. The inverse chronology of the storyline eventually pays off, but that's of little consequence as Hellboy tromps through whatever else is going on at the time. The logical inconsistencies will bother even the most accommodating viewers. Skip it.
