    Huh...

    Well, this is pretty much identical to the original Kite and Merzzo Forte; violence, some great animation, perverted comedy, and an extremely dark tone. It's nice to see that the unneeded graphic sex was given up in favor of an actual plot (!) with somewhat fleshed-out characters, for once. The plot itself is pretty cliché and nothing we haven't seen a thousand times before, but I have to give them credit for trying.

    It's too bad, though, that despite all the style and some violence and an overall entertaining time, the whole thing just doesn't add up to... well... anything. It just kind of falls apart and ends. Extremely lazy and stupid and pointless ending will probably annoy almost every potential fan of this film.

    ...I'd rate this somewhere above Kite and Mezzo Forte, but it's still not that great.

    Terrible

    Did I seriously, just waste one hour of 2018 september watching this movie. I feel like a real idiot if anything I would have that one hour back.

    The only thing that was good was the art style and the unique animation it even looked realist in some scenes. Also, the voice acting from Xanthe Huyhe, Tara Platt, Grant George, Doug Erholtz and David Lodge was pretty spot on.

    Everything else like story and pacing was terrible but it had some good action and violent scenes. That's all I will be saying about this movie.

    More Kite than you can handle

    While a third part (well if you don't count the individual episodes but see them as one) might happen sometime, this is the second Kite movie we get. And while the live action one did have nothing on the original, this also is a bit tamer. Which is almost funny to say considering this is also filled with violence, but dials back on the sex stuff.

    Having said that the beginning is quite irritating, but we get back to the action and to what we came to see. A strong female assassin to root for. Nicely done and overall decent anime, though not the best I've seen either.

    Sorry, not as good as the first but Decent

    I love those kind of movies. Blood, Revenge, A Lot of Action, Very Dark, Cheesy and More. But this one doesn't deliver the genre that you might expect. When I saw Kite and Mezzo Forte before, I had fun watching those but why this one not? Kite Liberator is a decent anime and its not hardcore and don't even expect nudity in this movie.At least add some more action to entertain the audience. Even the drama wasn't that good. Well, I don't want to spoil the movie nor the plot.But I felt that Kite Liberator is a bit nerdy. So, without further to do. I don't recommend this movie to everyone but I recommend for the people who love decent and well directed anime.

    Smooth and hot, but flawed

    An average school girl has a part time job as a waitress and maintains an average life in an inner city home. However, what her friends and co-workers don't know is that she's also a cold blooded assassin. Nights she spends killing apparently evil men throughout the city. Her father works on a space station and longs to see her, also unaware of her moonlighting hobby.

    Kite Liberator is sort of a sequel to Yasuomi Umetsu's film Kite. The mood is decidedly less depressing and the theme material is handled much less gratuitously. Kite, was more or less a hentai with some nice action fight scenes thrown in. Kite Liberator is more of an action film, with some comedy throughout.

    The animation is quite smooth, the shootouts and chases are fast and the explosions are big. All this is good but the action never seems to reach the peak of it's potential. All the characters battling feel graceful and capable of prolonged conflict but none of the action scenes go on very long and even the climax at the end felt snubbed.

    Any number of ideas are presented and not a single one is carried to term. Character arcs are started and begin to be flushed out, when the movie is suddenly and confusingly halted. This annoyed me mostly because i actually was liking the characters i saw. Just as i was getting interested in them the credits began to roll. In general, Kite Liberator ends feeling very premature and half baked.

    See it of you like assassin's and some smooth action but don't have the time or desire to invest in layered characters or story.

    7/10
