Kite is the story of an unlucky teenage orphan named Sawa who lives under the 'guardianship' of Akai, a corrupt policeman (and if you have noticed the quotation marks and are thinking dirty thoughts, you are probably on the right track). And in truth, the edited version of Yasoumi Umetsu's infamous Kite, an undeserving 'cult classic' remembered mainly for its copious amounts of graphic violence, wallows in the disturbing world of pornography as long as it can without being classified as such, dragging the unfortunate viewer along with it and sending her into a pit of despair that only the most exhaustive marathon of Ghibli movies could ever save her from.īefore I begin to lambast too many things at once, I must first tackle the plot. Yes, I will admit that I am exaggerating, but the synopsis really does read like that of a porno. Sawa's parents were murdered when she was young, and she was adopted by policeman Akai, who assigns her to dangerous missions.'Īnd I thought that Netflix said it didn't carry XXX films. 'College student by day, vigilante by night, Sawa protects the innocent and coldly kills criminals in this intense anime. I quote from the description provided by : Green Bunny, the studio that produced this anime, typically only creates pornographic titles this and Umetsu's later Mezzo Forte are the only mainstream titles it has worked on. This version also combines the two episodes into a single 'movie'. Notes: This OAV exists in two formats, the first being a 'director's cut' that includes several explicit sex scenes and the second being the edited version (which I have reviewed here).
