I do not watch anime nearly at all. Kite was a movie i found by accident, i heard it is gory and it was a exploitation anime film. I can tell you the animation is pretty well made. However, i wish we had a bit more depth on our characters, meaning the victims.
I wish we had more depth into Sawa and Oburi, their past, more depth to these victims you want to care about. Sawa and Oburi kinda remind me of Lucie and Ana from Martyrs, but in Martyrs i really feel just horrible for both of them, here i did not get the same effect. Why? Because none of them have high written depth.
However, the story is a fun one, and this is the truth: When you begin working in the crime sphere, someone will always have you on their RADAR, and this movie does that flawlessly. Voice acting to me seems to be solid enough.
I only got two negatives: I wish we had more depth to our two main victims, characters, and i wish the first half of this movie was a bit more interesting. The first half is kinda dull and prolonger not as interesting as the second half. The second half saves this movie.
In the end if you enjoyed Ichi the Killer, Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, Old Boy, Machine Girl best bet is to put this thing in the same boat.
