Product Description

Kite -After her parents' brutal murder, young Sawa is orphaned. Now under the control of her detective guardians, Sawa becomes an assassin whose targets range from alleged rapists to corporate fat cats. Sawa eventually meets another assassin, a boy named Oburi, and they quickly become friends. They provide each other with emotional support, helping Sawa regain control of her own life. When Sawa's guardians learn of her new friend, revenge is sought and Sawa must fight to break free from the cycle of violence. The teenage assassin Sawa discovered the man behind her parents deaths was her own her foster father, the police detective Akai. She murdered him. Years later, her whereabouts are still unknown. Kite Liberator -The story of a new killer has begun to circulate around the city. She is called the Angel of Death. She eliminates her targets with grace and precision, and then vanishes without a trace into the darkness. By day, the Angel of Death wears a different face, the face of Monaka, an ordinary high school girl. But she seems so delicate and sensitive, can it really all be an act? Her past is tied with Akai, and her fate is a duel to the death with the one man who can protect her, the one she loves most. Which heart is real? The icy heart of the Angel of Death, or the kind heart of Monaka?

Good movies both of them. I am an admitted anime nut. Have tons of manga and anime. Good artwork and dialog and a solid story. Not the best I have ever seen from anime over the years but a very good set of movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheaper than buying them separate

UPDATE 11/27/2012
Watched the show. Dark and grim with definitely adult elements. The first "Kite Remastered" has a much more solid story. "Kite Liberator" seems to have just ended in the middle of the story. Also, it introduced a space virus thing. Which was weird.

MEDIA:
On a day of anime sales I bought both this "Kite Remasterd/Kite Liberator" (their spelling, not mine) and the separate "Kite Remastered" and "Kite Liberator" DVDs. The aforementioned combo is actually the box set of these other two DVDs. All that is different is that the two DVD cases are put into a box sleeve that has different art. All of the DVDs are the "16 and older" rating.
If you plan on getting both, this is the cheaper way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of Potential but it can be better
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2021

First off, the first scene in this movie was pretty fun. Detailed and bloody af. Yet, because this is the condense and censored version, the plot isn't as well drawn out. In addition, the visuals are good, yet many times it goes back to its VHS roots. Its fun to go back and see how these OVAs were done back in the 80s and 90s, but it would be great if it was cleaned up or touched up better.

Do not watch this and waste your money. To truly encapsulate the film- please watch the uncut, uncensored film somewhere else.

Amazon doesn’t even tell you that it is the censored version. What a load of garbage.

Both Movies are very much fun,
Mezzo forte a bit more then kite.
The quality is very good especially the explosions ooze of the screen.
Be advised this is the non-hentai version!
I personally don't mind at all since those scenes felt really out of place and even uncomfortable.
(Although it maybe would have been nice to have those scenes as a bonus or something)
Just know what you're buying.

El audio del DVD: japonés e italiano. subtítulos: no dispone. Lo compré porque con los subt se puede seguir más o menos la trama. por otro lado no he visto un anime más bestia que éste. Sangre y Sexo explícito a granel.

Tutti i film sono belli e interessanti ma - a parte Ocean's Eleven - gli altri due sono piuttosto impegnati e non sono semplici thriller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grande animazione, per un prodotto per adulti da riscoprire, realizzato da un bravo autore..
Reviewed in Italy on May 31, 2014
Verified Purchase
ATTENZIONE: prodotto solo per adulti.

Umetsu è davvero un grande e bravo autore.. un ottimo artigiano moderno di anime.. peccato che le sue opere non sempre arrivino qui da noi.. Anche perché i suoi progetti e la sua passione è per un cinema erotico, anzi spesso smaccatamente "forte", pornografico, sia per colorire i suoi lavori di nicchia, sia per motivi commerciali..
Ma è anche un grande autore mainstream, conosciuto in Italia anche per altre belle opere, alcune eccezionali come Hurricane Polymar Holy Blood altre meno riusciute come il remake dei Gatchman.. ma collaboratore di grandi autori di anime, come Otomo nel grandioso film ad episodi (purtroppo inedito da noi) Robot Carnival, o a semplici OAV come Megazone 23, da noi passato in silenzio, ma grande successo anni 80 in giappone..
Insomma uno cresiuto a pane e anime, che ha collaborato con importanti autori del settore..

Ultimamente ha deciso di dedicarsi a produzioni intereamente create da lui.. dalla sceneggiatura, al characters desing.. dalla regia alle animazioni.. Forse il suo titolo più famoso è inedito da noi, Mezzo Forte, ma questo A Kite è davvero interessante e ben rappresenta il suo stile..
Uno stile caratterizzato da un design molto moderno e pop dei personaggi.. ma sorretto da animazioni di primissima qualità, a partire da ottime e incredibili inquadrature.. fluido, morbido e dinamico.. patinato al punto giusto..
Con protagoniste forti, le classiche giovani ragazzine giapponesi con la pistola.. e storie che ricordano tanti polizieschi anni 70 e 80 americani.. ovviamente con tanti ammiccamenti erotici, sino a molte scene vere e proprie di sesso esplicito dal taglio pornografico..

Questo A Kite ne è un ottimo esempio..
Fedele ai cliché dell'autore, l'anime parla di una giovanissima killer, fredda e micidiale, coinvolta costretta ed "educata" al corrotto mondo degli assassini a pagamento da un sadico poliziotto, divenuto suo tutore (anche se sarebbe meglio dire protettore) dopo l'assassinio della sua famiglia a cui lei è miracolosamente scampata, assieme ad un socio altrettanto perverso.
La routine tra assassini e sesso costrittivo, la porta a lavorarae con un altro giovane killer, che dopo un paio di missioni, arriveranno a lottare per liberarsi dal gioco dei due aguzzini.
Originariamente uscito come due piccoli episodi OAV da 25 minuti cadauno in giappone ai tempi del vhs, è poi stato raccolto in un unico e continuo film con l'uscita del formato dvd, ed è l'edizione che qui ci viene riproposta da Yamato Video.
Il titolo ufficiale dell'anime non è Kite, ma bensì A Kite.
Spettacolare l'animazione, con scene adrenaliniche, supportate da un grande realismo nelle animazioni e di messa in scena.. ottimo tutto il reparto tecnico, il character's design, il mecha, i fondali e la musica.. Forse i colori hanno uno stile puramente anni 90, con alcune scene molto tenui ed altre con colori molto accesi..
Ottimo anche il doppiaggio, adulto e adatto al film.
La storia sicuramente non sarà per tutti.. ma se si tralasciano le 2/3 scene pornografiche, il film si gusta pienamente, e piacerà sicuramente a tutti gli amanti di anime e di film d'azione.. con una forte dose d'azione, nonostante la trama sia un classico del genere.

Buona l'edizione Yamato, che forse pecca in una luminosità eccessiva in alcune scene.. ma comunque non si riscontrano difetti in nessun comparto, ne audio ne video.. audio standard per un prodotto di nicchia, quindi non eccezzionale, anche se un paio di spari "colpiscono" bene lo spettatore, tutto è molto ovattato..
Buona la qualità video, pulita e nitida, senza apparenti difetti.
Nessun extra presente, se non una lunga presentazione della collana erotica Doki Doki, con l'elenco dei trailer relativi alle produzioni presentate, tra cui questo A Kite.

Consigliato quindi a tutti gli appassionati, ma ovviamente và ripetuto che si tratta di un prodotto per adulti, e quindi stona un pò visto che si tratta di un anime.. anche se un grandioso anime.
