This movie is not logical. This movie is not challenging your intellect. This movie does not want you to think too much about it. This movie gives you exactly what the title offers, nothing more.
I think it "borrowed" a lot from Kill Bill, for example certain fighting moves or villain character traits. (Actually, my first thought was Tarantino had seen this movie and decided to make a western, a little more serious version. Then I noticed this was the more recent production.) The story seems a little similar too. I'm not saying that there IS much of a story here. In fact, I expected the story to be nonsense, but not to be that incomplete. Still, it was fun to watch, and had me constantly ask myself whether is was entertaining because it was so creative or just because of its plain stupidity.
It is one of those movies I'm not able to judge by the standards of "good" or "bad". If you like goth style and anime-like over-the-top action sequences, you will be entertained. (I was.) Just don't expect anything else.

Gothic and Lolita Psycho (2010) is a black-and-comedic horror action film directed by Go Ohara this movie aired September 4, 2010 in japan. About Yuki an ordinary girl who lives with her mom and dad, they live in tokyo city, until one day on yuki's birthday, suddenly a group of gangs attack and enter Yuki's house. The gangs killed her mother. Yuki is hurt and starts to rise to take revenge against those who have destroyed his family, Yuki transformed into a strong girl and wore black clothes he was accompanied by a very sophisticated umbrella, the umbrella was equipped with a knife to a firearm. Yuki manages to kill one by one his mother vanishes and only one person lives for Yuki to wipe .. Will Yuki manage to take his revenge? This movie is so exciting that I who watch this movie do not want to miss a scene of sadistic Yuki fight and enemy enemy is so fun. The scene of action is so fond ... There is a lot of blood, gore and all the cruelty of this movie ...
Her beloved mother murdered by a vicious gang of assassins, young Yuki (2007 Best Buttocks Award-winner Akiyama) transforms herself into a Gothic lolita killing machine, wielding a lethal umbrella that can blast, slice, and chop her enemies into oblivion.
I have no idea what the "Best Buttocks Award" is, but Last Chance Lance of Rue Morgue sums up the film as "the perfect combo of glam and gore that'll please perverts and gorehounds alike." That is pretty close to the truth. Not sure about the "glam" (though the fashions are a nice throwback to the best of the 1990s). The gore is there, and with a weapon that puts the Penguin to shame.
And the filming style. Maybe I just have not seen enough Japanese films, but this felt like all the best parts of "Kill Bill" rolled up into a fun little package.

Slight exaggeration there, but I thoroughly enjoyed Yuki's (Rina Akiyama) fight scenes and crazy gadgets her father builds for her (plus her boots are amazing), all in her hell-bent quest to bring down every person in the gang responsible for killing her mother.
Psycho Gothic Lolita is real light on plot (I've already covered it above, and I don't even think they explain why all these characters wanted her mother dead... though she was some sort of a demon?), but real heavy on style and entertainment value. There was a whole wave of these crazy female-led Japanese gore movies, and while there are certainly better ones out there (Noboru Iguchi is a genius), I would still recommend this one.
Only in Japan. The array of wacky characters, clever action, and oddball turns of events are a few of the things that make these movies great. The array of out-there characters she has to terminate, and the gory fights that ensue make for an entertaining evening. I think my favorite character was the psychic professor, whose sole ability is... to blow up young ladies' skirts. Which he also pulls on Lolita herself. Again, only in Japan! Another showdown is her against this whole bizarre "Kamikaze" gang, who choreograph their name(!), and she rescues this poor hapless beating victim... Only it turns out she chased off the gang to get revenge on that guy.
If your into revenge flicks, with a thoroughly badass female protagonist, and don't mind a complete lack of plot or character development, I would consider this movie a blast.

Gothic And Lolita Psycho is a fun, comic book style action revenge film(sort of a low-rent Kill Bill without Tarantino's genius, of course; but if you feel like killing an hour and a half with a cute actress(Rina Akiyama-voted best butt in Japan a few years ago) this Japanese revenge blood and dismemberment fest is a thrill a minute.
After witnessing her mother's killing, Yuki(Akiyama) spends her time seeking revenge on the bad guys with well choreographed fight scenes and a cool black leather outfit. The only disappointment is no nudity, only much blood spouting from necks, arms & legs and every imaginable body part. Someone should have advised director Go Ohara of Ms. Akiyama,s best asset(pun intended); even so the ride is worth it.
