On her sixteenth birthday, Rin (Yumi Sugimoto), a bullied, timid schoolgirl witnesses her parents killed by fearful, anti-mutant humans. Rins dormant mutant abilities are awakened and she is driven away from her hometown by an angry mob. She meets other mutants called 'Hiruko', and teams up with Rei (Yuko Takayama), a hardarse, rebellious type, and Yoshie (Suzuka Morita), a cute nurse who is conflicted about killing humans. Tak Sakaguchi plays Kasagari, an evil mutant who has an impotent sword growing out of his stomach. Originally trained by Kasagari, the three girls turn against him and his drive to turn Japan into a human-free zone and must fight him and his other loyal mutant minions. In the tradition of 'Machine Girl' and 'Tokyo Gore Police'. Written by kwedgwood@hotmail.com
As demonstrated by this mash-up of X-Men, Witchblade/The Darkness, Sandman (the main antagonist reminds of Morpheus from the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman) and...the Band Giuffria (the costumes of the girls in action)?! Ok, they're might not be comic book characters, but they're bonkers nonetheless. Add in the mix a lethal dose of usual meth crazyness from Japan and a bit too much of CGI blood (the only real downside I can find of this) and you have an interesting recipe, fun from start to finish. Recommended.
