Maboroshi panti

A schoolgirl, nunsploitation, cowboys and Indians, super-hero musical with lots of bits that only Japanese would understand. Related to Kekko Kamen in that both are based on the manga of Go Nagai but I found this more difficult to enjoy. It made me smile a few time but wince a little more often. The musical numbers are fun but there is just too much here particular to Japanese culture and I feel all the satire and most of the jokes went over my head. Instead we are left with lots of young girls with crushes on each other and a less than convincing super-hero in leather bikini and a large weapon. To a westerner the best word to describe this unfortunately would be silly. But if you do think this silly stay for the trailers - wild and wacky and cold and chilling.
