Review So shockingly brilliant, so mind-blowingly beautiful in vision and rendering… Nothing like Kite has really ever been animated before, in Japan or elsewhere. --AnimeNewsNetwork.comThe art is every bit as beautiful as you'd expect in an Umetsu work, and the over-the-top action is downright spectacular. --animeworld.comThe art and animation are still among the best I've seen in a hentai feature… it is a film with character and substance. --animetric.com

Came on time and no damage
I haven't seen Kite or heard of it before, but I have watched the general release version of Mezzo Forte recently. Which is by the same director, Yasuomi Umetsu. I ordered the complete dvd version of Mezzo Forte and figured I'd order this too, since I saw it was by him as well. I haven't watched it yet, but it came in good condition. I'll probably give it a watch this Sunday.

Love the storyline.
Love the classic except the H scene is low quality. Other than that, is good storyline but slightly gory.

It's nice to have
This is the actual uncut version that was released on DVD (cover of Sawa jumping off a building). It contains the underaged sex scenes with Sawa and I haven't found anything cut. I decided to write that very direct, because people who're trying to add an uncensored version of Kite to their collection have to deal with tons of guess work and varying cuts of the film. Kite has been released many times in "uncut" formats only to still have edits. Rest assured, this is an actual uncut version of Kite.However, there's segments of the film that take a real drop in quality. One moment you're watching a Bluray, the next, you're watching a laser disc or vcd back in 1994. It's barely DVD quality. And coincidentally enough, those quality dips are around/during the sex scenes. Which are already sparse enough. So they're much more jarring and noticable, because your brain doesn't get a moment to grow accustomed to it before it's gone. It's just, bam! Welcome to 1994-- bam, you're back! "What just happened?!! why is my nose bleeding. Which one of y'all kicked me?" status.Extras are junk imo. The making is the same one that was released years ago, same quality as the dvd too. It's nice to have, but if you've seen it or own it already, there's no added value here.if you want a 98% Blu Ray upscale of an Uncut Kite, this is it! Other than that, great movie and I like the cover. Time for Mezzo Forte to have an uncut re-release.

Great anime film
57 minutes, a 90s classic and a adult film that a person who’s not 18 shouldn’t watch. This controversial film is one of the classics that I brought so that I can watch along with kite liberator to see the action and the drama unfold in both movies that is from the same director.

Magnificent Movie for My Movie-Buff Friend
This uncut version of Kite was a gift for my movie-buff friend, who suggested that I see this movie. I saw the edited version and noticed that Amazon offered the uncut version. I correctly guessed that my friend would appreciate the uncut Blue Ray version because he has the edited film. He raved about it; thus my 5-star rating!

Good Suspense.
I did not like the ending! Surprise.

Great Uncut Blu-ray.
Like the previous blu-ray there are some blurry shots that can't really be fixed, but it's still amazing and I greatly appreciate it. Very grateful for this release !Definitive uncut version. I've had the cover shot of Sawa tattooed on my leg since January 2000.

Trigger warning
This is a very violent graphically and sexually. It is stated that all people depicted are 19 and older and yeah that's a lie. If you can stomachs the depiction of a child being sexually abused you have a crazy action movie with highly kinetic gun fights. Now as for the uncut part I clearly remember maybe on phillacio scene with an unnamed minor that isn't missed by me. Some may say I'm being biased but I think the fact that the story itself has an undercurrent of the characters killing child molesters on the orders of child molesters for money is kind of a tongue in cheek poke at the audience. The action scenes are legendary but it really doesn't age well when you get to the sex scenes where you can see that the main character, Sawa, had a growth spurt in the flashback sex scene. It's not impossible for a 19 year old but the fact this is an anime it was a purposeful decision to depict her so short. I've included shots from the anime and let you be the judge of these character models look 19Spoiler/Trigger warningThe main character is clearly depicted as a child during a sex scene and another child is being depicted in a sex scene where she is bound, gagged and crying.
