This movie opens with a weather alert on someone’s phone warning them of a “Yakuza Hurricane” weather incident. I won’t spoil any more of the story, because it needs to be experienced in the moment.
Some genuinely killer character designs kick off this film and then Kazuki Nakashima’s scripting is unleashed for the rest of it, consistently surprising me every five minutes. God, there’s several artistic choices and segments in this that are just delightful. I’m tempted to just list them out, but I’ll hold myself back. This fucking rocked.
