Overview
Years after the events that transpired in Kite, Sawa’s whereabouts are a mystery. During this time, rumors of a new killer have begun to circulate the city. They call her the Angel of Death, an unfeeling assassin who eliminates her targets with grace and precision, leaving only a flurry of feathers as her calling card. What the public is unaware of is the fact that this notorious hitman is a polite young lady named Monaka. Like her spiritual predecessor, Monaka has lost most of her family, and her father’s duty as an astronaut keeps him practically worlds apart. However, they are close despite the physical distances and Orudo promised his daughter that he would return. Until then, daily life for the timid and somewhat clumsy Monaka involves mostly school and her part time job as a waitress, but her nature completely changes once she receives an assignment.

Viewing Notes
This is a wild installment in an already wild franchise. I’ve only seen the original KITE film (and the lousy live action adaptation) so I was rather surprised how full-on crazy they go with the science fiction elements. The original is just a teenage assassin / vigilante mowing down criminals. This takes that to another level with a monster. There are some odd (problematic) issues too (just like the original). Also this ends on a cliffhanger so I’m guessing there’s a sequel? I hope there’s a sequel.

holy crap. I’ve logged this before in 2016 and seriously had zero recollection of *anything* that happens in this movie. Like not even huh maybe I’ve seen this or this seems familiar… nothing. Wow that’s scary.
