![]() Overall, I would have to say that whether or not you've seen the first film, this is something interesting in its own right and it something well worth watching even with some of the issues that exist within it. The only problem I had was that story didn't fully explain some of the character details and I was sometimes left wondering about a particular part of certain characters' backgrounds. The main character really kind of reminds you in a lot of ways of Sawa from the first film. The stereo effects were really accurate and made listening to the movie through headphones much more enjoyable than through standard speakers.Ĭharacters: I felt you could empathise with the characters in the story quite well in a similar way as you could for the first movie albeit for different reasons. The themes worked well with the scenes throughout and the sound effects and timing were spot on. Sound: Another case of 'doing what it says on the tin'. Everything was well-rendered or accurately drawn and this component stood out justifyably, fully deserving the 10. The combination of computer graphics as well as more traditional constructions made it very pleasing on the eye. The story element is something that most people will have differing views on but I think 7 is a fair score for this component.Īrt: Well, I have to say that this was one of the standout features of the OVA. At least with Kite you could imagine the events happening in real life. In it's own right, the sci-fi plot is quite entertaining but I was disappointed with massive leap in terms of content from the gritty original to something completely fictional. Even though it is only an hour long in length, the way the plot is constructed makes it feel like a full-length movie. ![]() might say that the absence of sex scenes makes the anime not seem like a true sequel and I would have to agree to some extent, but I feel that to do a sequel too similar to the original would have inevitably not have been as good. Whilst the original focused on a gritty underworld story of corruption and violence (which featured nudity), Kite Liberator takes a completely different tact and focuses more on a kind of action-based sci-fi plot. ![]() Story: First off I'll start by saying that I thought it was very interesting that they made a non-hentai sequel to a hentai-pigeonholed movie. But as you can see from the ratings I'm part of the contingent that liked it. Well, this is a tricky one to review as it's something that most people will have mixed feelings about as the original Kite was a very interesting work in its own right. Overall, I would have to say that if you're looking for some proper hentai then look elsewhere, but if you want to see a good piece of quality anime then this is something I'd recommend :). A definite plus.Įnjoyment: As you would expect I enjoyed it quite a bite due to the reasons mentioned above and I wouldn't be against possibly watching it again. The characters developed well over the course of the anime and you empathise with the main characters and end up disgusted by the way some of the others treat them in such a way that you expect the director was aiming for. No particularly memorable themes or anything but the sound effects were exactly as you would expect.Ĭharacter: Without giving too much away. Sound: Does exactly what it says on the tin. ![]() The fight scenes were one of the highlights as the choreography was really well done and really got you into the scene. Everything looked smooth and sharp and the slightly more 'old-skool' style simply added to the grittiness of the content. even rate and I didn't feel bored at any point.Īnimation: Well, for a 10 year-old anime is was very well animated. Lots of bloody violence which is nicely balanced with the more emotional side of things (plus some nudity to add to the dimension of things). The synopsis pretty much sums it up and is essentially about a 'hit-girl' (as opposed to hitman).įor what is essentially and hour-long anime, it really packs a lot in there. It's more of an action-packed drama which happens to feature nudity which actually fits with main plot. To call it so would be a misrepresentation of the movie. This isn't a Hentai in the 'traditional' sense.
