Lot of blood and gore with some anime style cliché, isn't always good

There is nothing really special about this film, even with all the blood and gore that is in it. Basically it's like some anime like style with all the wackiness, which isn't really a bad thing but that is just about it. I did like how it had some bizarre humor it in which actually made me chuckle a few times. But the thing is the movie is about a hour and thirty minutes but felt a lot longer cause the gore got old after a while, and the cliché love triangle didn't really help as well. love triangle is alright in films for me, but it wasn't engaging or interesting in this. The acting is also really bad in this which is to be expected especially Takumi Saito, you can really tell he wasn't trying. The only one that actually seemed to be really trying was that Kabuki Mad Scientist, even if the acting is bad at least the guy tried. Takumi Saito on the other hand just acted like he was just too cool to be in a film like this. Sure the film is bizarre but even during the fight scenes it just isn't that creepy or intense, which some films of this type of style seems to pull off. On the plus side, I did enjoy the craziness of this film despite the failure at the director's stab at teen pop culture.
