Yeah, I saw it thinking it was something different, like most posters on this board. Animation was good, storytelling was good....
I even noticed the "Warning" label saying that the girl portrayed is legal age (which is hard to believe since the girl is obviously drawn much much younger).
But when you see that guy tear up that girl, you'd think there is a particular taste to knowing what is going on.
I read that the sex scenes were only involved since the production company forced them to do so - if not the funding of the movie would have been cancelled.
I actually did not know that it contained real sex. I knew it contained nudity and erotic, but I didn't expect it that hardcore.
But despite that, I was kind of disappointed. The film noir story has so much potential which was not used at all. There is this morbid romance of the extreme violence, I cannot really explain it, but I have to admit I like it. Unfortunately, the plot is flat, the love story between the two was somehow too easy and profane, some scenes were just weird (e. g. the ending - I cannot believe Akai did not recognize Sawa)... There is no real storyline, the assassinations have nothing to do with the outgoing of the plot, etc. A pity in my opinion.
Nevertheless that's exactly the genre I'd like to see many more movies out of. Anybody can recommend me some? What about mezzo Forte? And it does not have to contain porn ;)
if you dont' like the implication of young sex its cut out and watered down in the rated (g)ay version
p.s get over your predujuice thoughts, its ok to watch people get blown apart but suddenly if someone you deem as too young its disgusting. Kid was old enough to blow people away......you're so too faced. People grow up its called the aging process
