If you are looking for a film that has a lot of plot development, develops characters really well and has a story that makes you think then please skip this film. It does none of these things, what it does do is move by quickly from one fight to the next with a bit of back story here and there to fill in the blanks a bit. Not entirely as I was still clueless about a couple of things at the end of this one. The story is simple, a girl whose mother was killed by a strange quintet of people clad in black robes is out for revenge against said individuals. The thing that sets her apart from the normal revenge seeking girl is her choice of attire and weapon. She dresses in a Gothic Lolita outfit and uses various parasols as her weaponry. You get to see her do her thing right off the bat as she raids a gambling den and proceeds to really decimate all of those within seeking the strange mistress of the place. I was thinking at this point that we would get this scene then have a whole lot of flashbacks detailing her change to this psycho goth, but we only get a small picture and then she is off to a school to take care of her next target. Good action, I enjoyed the fight scenes better in this one than in other films of this type such as Vampire Girl versus Frankenstein Girl, Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police. The gore is about the same as those films, I still give the edge to this one cause it moved by so quickly was not crammed with a bunch of back story on her transformation and it did not have those strange bits of humor such as wrist cutting. While it does poke fun at things, the odd humor does not get placed front and center. My main complaints is that you really do not get enough of an idea why the girl's mother was killed in the first place. Also, while her outfit was cute I was hoping to see more outfits than just the one. Overall, I found it to be a nice bloody and fast moving revenge action/horror film.
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 ...
Not bad for a low budget movie. The best fight scene is the umbrella machine gun vs the duel-wield schoolgirl.
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.

Fun, but not mindblowing. The only really noteworthy villain of all is Elle, very tongue-in-cheek parody of anime girls/J-Pop idol culture which will make you laugh a lot. The ending is interesting too, with an unexpected twist with potentials in regards to its development. Other than that, the gore is very restricted and the fight scenes are at 50% of capacity of what you would expect from the aforementioned directors, especially Iguchi. That said, I don't get those that made connections with Kill Bill in the reviews. Only because of the Eyepatch of Elle? Really? Complete and utter nonsense. This has nothing to do with Kill Bill in the slightest. This is your typical revenge manga/anime thing with the protagonist fighting her way through different bosses, there's not an inch of Kill Bill here. Without mentioning Kill Bill was "inspired" by Japanese revenge flicks in the first place...
