YMMV / Kite (1998)

Go To

  • Best Known for the Fanservice: Like Mezzo Forte, most people know about this anime for its sex scenes.
  • Catharsis Factor: After keeping Sawa as a sex slave, manipulating her into murder people, and being responsible for her parents' deaths, watching Sawa shoot Akai multiple times is incredibly satisfying.
  • Complete Monster: Akai raises orphaned girls to become his own personal assassins, preaching justice to them while really using them to wipe out criminals both to stroke his own ego or remove underworld competition for his own actions. Akai uses Sawa as little more than a weapon and sex toy, raping her as he pleases, gifts her earrings filled with her own parents' blood, and notably repeats the molestation on his other girls. His crimes dwarfing even those of his fellow rapist partner-in-crime, Akai is utterly disgusting.
  • Moral Event Horizon: If he hadn't crossed this already, Akai does when it is revealed that not only has he been raping and brainwashing Sawa since she was a young child, he was also responsible for the murder of her parents in the first place!
  • Narm: The English dub for some fans is a fine example of unintentional hilarity, with Sawa's voice actress pronouncing "Oburi" as "Ovary" and "Kanie" like "Kanye".
  • Nausea Fuel: The anime can get really graphic at times.
    • When Sawa kicks a man in the balls, it causes him to vomit...
    • The sex scenes between Sawa and Akai.
    • The gory violence for some.
