Kite
Anime DVD Review
Warning: This anime is absolutely NOT for the kids!
Kite is one of the nastiest, grisly and gruesome tales ever done in anime. It explores some of the more disturbing aspects of the human psyche. With its La Femme Nikita-style story line, this film rivals the live-action works of Luc Besson and even John Woo.
 That said, the characters are flawlessly executed, with fantastic art and animation, along with it's darkly compelling plot. Like watching a car-crash, you just won't be able to turn away from the screen, despite the horrors being presented. Kite is simply excellent in every aspect.
