    Lady Snowblood

    ★★★★

    Gotta be honest; it's hard to watch Kill Bill now without thinking some of the influences are a bit on the nose.

    Very cool and stylish film, aesthetically it seems like a lot of care was put into the colours to make the white and red really stand out. For all I know the voice acting is garbage, but I don't know since I'm not Japanese, so to me it just added to the aesthetic.

    Otherwise, lots o' killin, lots o' blood, but an otherwise very well told tale and a definite recommendation for peeps who want that cool Japan feel.

    The plot is a little convoluted and oddly paced, but that's probably because they…

    ★★★½

    Well clearly I didn't know what I was getting into when I said the 4th film had too much sex in it. This was borderline pornographic really.

    I mean it was still good; excellently but slightly differently animated, much better soundtrack than any of the other films. The story was more simple which was an improvement. This one just wasn't as memorable though. They reused older characters again, but only for a few seconds and they didn't really play any…
