Kill Bill meets John Wick


Outright a blast of a show with fun comedy thrown in. You got the cute and funny Momomon (hidden you know what) to the bloody gore coming out of body orifices to the blackadder just slithering along minding its own business while finally addressing the macguffin we didn't deserve but needed, The Waterbottle. I like how everything was wrapped up in the end and tied altogether, how small the world is with these assassins coming from different situations, looking for almost the same thing, and driven all by one entity.

For some reason I found Lemon & Tangerine, Ladybug, and Yuichi Kimura slightly difficult to understand or parse their words (could be the speakers) but when Hiroyuki Sanada aka The Elder spoke English, it was clear as day and night. His English was phenomenal with every word spoken clear and concise. The White Death looked Asian at first until I found out he was some Slav (guess it should've been a given with the title given).

Lot of the music seems to have been taken from the West and then remixed with Japanese lyrics here or there if not replaced while keeping the tempo (all fine).

I am worried about my German friend. He is going to need subtitles to understand Tangerine.

I felt more a Smokin' Aces vibe...

Just to pick a nit, it wasn't a black adder, but a boomslang. (which has no effect on the quality or lack thereof of the movie. [I loved it, so I vote for quality])

Except in Kill Bill or John Wick the body count would have been an order of magnitude (or two) higher.
