this review of Azumi is critical but funny....from the Village Voice (NY)
---------------------------
Azumi, released in 2003, is a prime sample, a kind of Buffy the Warlord Slayer in which a petite, miniskirted assassin (Japanese pop starlet Aya Ueto) and her friends are commanded by the master to venture out into the CGI world to prevent war by taking down the warmongers. If you're considering the scenario via Japan's ubiquitous pedo-porn tendencies, you're too educated for this exhaustive, manga-based bloodbath, which trails after these angsty teenyboppers on a scorched-fake-earth path through hundreds of growling baddies of every genre size and type. Blood flies like water-park spray (or hangs in the air as animated bloblets), limbs hack off like chicken wings, pubescent thighs flash, and the characters weep sugar tears. If it wasn't for the gore, it could've been an ad for Claritin. As it is, Azumi is the world seen through the bloodshot eyes of Xbox zombies.
ROFLCOPTER :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I thought the bloodwork was less then Kill Bill.....but yea.
"Blood flies like water-park spray" <---- reminds me of the part where Azumi stabs dude and the blood sprays like 20ft in the air. Scene where they try to kill 2nd warlord.
