I think Kite’s dedication to realism is another mark against it. This film is so tone death and this romance has no chemistry at all. Oburi doesn’t make it out of his assassin life alive, yet Sawa is able to kill her groomer and walk away? Or does she? Considering that Sawa is supposedly held at gun point and Kite cuts to black after that, we don’t know and that destroys some points from Kite’s story for me and pushes it into the realm of this film being about nothing yet again. Of course, this is noticeable to the point where Akai and Kanai give the two assassin the other assassin as their next target and nothing goes into place for them.

In movie time, they form some kind of bond by working together once and meeting together a couple of times to talk afterwards. Someone who is just as skilled as her, but is detached and wants out. (Or is it?) How? She meets an assassin boy named Oburi. Now, this is a movie about Sawa escaping her sexual grooming and assassin job. Don’t you think that subversive thing doesn’t mean anything anymore? This film gave her some agency in the opening moments and then decidedly took it away without a second thought with her getting some of it back before it doesn’t. Now you can see why this is rated R-18 as a hentai. She has also been sexually abused by Akai since she was little and Sawa is a college student now. Her job? Eliminating whatever targets Akai and Kanai want to get rid of to cull the world and police’s image. Sawa was an orphan girl taken in by corrupt police detectives by the name Akai and Kanie at a young age and has the blood of her parents in her earrings as keepsakes. Kite is a story that has police corruption and sexual grooming in it. This is movie with a horrible under current behind it. It’s a very Joss Whedon kind of subversion that thinks just making that a gender subversion is enough to carry a story.

It introduces the world of this show, gives us a cool female assassin lady with exploding bullets so we instantly know her job, and it breaks the usual narrative of what would happen quite a bit. Now, that intro is very cool and I like it a lot.

Surprise! Sawa turns out to be an assassin that has a special gun with exploding bullets and the TV Star is one of her targets.

A tv star goes on a date with a girl named Sawa and tries to make some big moves on her in a hallway. Kite starts out by trying to be somewhat cool and subversive. I think I might be out of my depth, but I’m going to try writing about Kite anyway. That is what the films that I have watched from Tarantino try to do and that is what Kite tries to do in an even worse way. I think I understand why I don’t like Tarantino’s films at all, because indulging in violence in a tone deaf way while attempting to say something just doesn’t work for me at all.

What about being confused about why something is considered a cult classic to a lot of people? Especially famous people like Samuel L.

Did you ever watch a series that made you open up the R-18 ranking on an anime listing website to show that you’ve watched it? Yeah, Kite made me do that because there is some bad sexual content in this film.
