First of all, although it's called a "sequel", Liberator is really an entirely different story from the first Kite, so there's very little to connect the two other than one character mentioning that the two characters from the first film disappeared. Also, some of the CGI (some, being the operative word) is nothing short of breathtaking.īut for all its aesthetic strengths, Liberator suffers from a few problems.
So it's definitely a visual feast for the eyes. As usual, the artwork was gorgeous and there was a sophisticated look to the film due to its muted palette. Before I criticize, let me say what was good about it. So imagine my disappointment when I saw Kite Liberator. When I heard he'd made a sequel to Kite, I couldn't have been more excited to indulge in more of Umetsu's style. When it comes to directors, he's definitely a maverick who flouts convention. Some people have compared his style to Tarantino I think that's an accurate comparison. Not only are his films beautifully animated, they're highly unconventional, gritty, adult, and feature some of the most wonderfully choreographed action scenes I've ever seen in either a live or animated feature film. "I love Umetsu, who I think is one of the best anime directors of all time.
