Yakuza Apocalypse

Ok, this is straight forward enough.  The yakuza are led by a nice boss, who takes care of his area's civilians and happens to be a vampire.  The story is told in the voice of a young henchman, hoping to rise in his boss's footsteps, but who must instead seek revenge when his boss is betrayed by his top lieutenants and murdered by the goblin and his crew.

But then the civilians start getting bitten, instantly turning them into yakuza vampires, and the lady has snot shooting out of her ears, and there's the frog ninja, and I know it was late and I was tired but the plot just stopped making sense.  I'm usually down with Japanese crazy but this time I was expecting more blood and less weird.
