For
the anime fan looking for a nonstop barrage of bloodshed and mayhem, Kite,
by Yasuomi Umetsu (Robot Carnival) is a cool little flick to check out.
Explodding bullets, an assession in a Catholic schoolgirl outfit, and
victims who piss themselves makes for a fun ride.
We
follow Sawa, a pretty young thang in catholic girl get ups (lotsa flashes
of white panties as she fights), who happens to be a lethal assassin.
Years earlier her parents were slayed in a brutal double homicide, leading
to the detective on the case taking her in. Angered by the justice system
the detective trains Sawa to be a cold-blooded vigilante, which she
excels at by taking her victims by surprise with her cute, girlish looks.
Sawa's
weapons of choice include a high tech gun with bullets that detonate
seconds after being lodged in the body, (A head shot victim will start
to shake than his head will blast apart), long spikes which protrude
from her wrists, and coin sized bombs that take out whole buildings.
The amazing centerpiece, a hit in the men's bathroom, is anime at its
chaotic finest as arms are blasted off, throw up flies from beaten persons,
victims piss themselves and arms and legs are mutilated.
I
recall a No Doubt video that recreated Kite's centerpiece with great
accuracy, with than Gwen gal playing the roll of Sawa. Give it a shot
if you get the chance.
