The only people who would get anything out of it, let alone watch it in the first place, would be fans of the original Kite, and I'm pretty sure all of them would be just as confused about the plot as the people coming into it blind. But considering that this came out the same year as The Sky Crawlers and Ponyo, I'm going to assume it had to do with the budget.However, I am still a big fan of Yasuomi Umetsu's art style.I can't really recommend Kite Liberator. Here, there's barely enough room to develop on the one idea that it did have.On a technical level, Kite Liberator incorporates a few shots of CGI, which is surprisingly solid, but in a few shots where it mixes the 2D and 3D animation, it is a bit awkward. Sure, it went for more of an episodic approach, but 12 episodes still had enough room to develop on what it was trying to do.

Kite Liberator is not especially long at less than an hour later, but the original Kite was around the same length too, and it still managed to have a conclusion, even if it was left a bit vague on what the ending was.Maybe this was supposed to be another episode after this one to resolve a lot of the dangling plot threads, but it probably didn't do well enough enough to warrant making another episode, which I personally find disappointing, because It would have loved to see what the writers would have written as the conclusion for this entry of Kite.And to top it all off, it's sister series Mezzo Forte, written by the creator of this and the original Kite, Yasuomi Umetsu, managed to get a 12-episode series in the form of Mezzo DSA. But having a alien/monster?To be fair, the anime does star on a space station orbiting Earth, do it doesn't completely come out of nowhere, but it's still a weird direction to take the series.But just as soon as it introduces all of it's plots, it ends just as quickly with a cliffhanger 50 minutes later. How does a sequel to Kite have aliens, or monsters, of all things? Maybe have a similar story to the first, or include a conspiracy or two, or even just have balls to the wall action. Yes, you read that right, Kite Liberator has aliens.Well, technically they're not aliens, and it is connected to the rest of the plot, but there is still a giant monster running around Japan destroying stuff. Several years later, Kite Liberator now follows Monoka, a girl working at a maid cafe who leads a double life as an assassin, much like Sawa.And then an alien shows up.

Jackson, but it still had a small cult following and it's not really really well known enough to inspire a sequel.While it isn't as explicit as the first Kite, it still features a few short scenes of characters doing creepy shit with underage girls, so if you're not into that, keep away.After the events of the first Kite, Sawa suddenly disappears after avenger her parents death with no trace of where she went.

1, along with having a few scenes from the anime being recreated for the music video for 'Ex-Girlfriend' by 'No Doubt', and even having a live action movie adaptation starring Samuel L. Surprisingly, Kite managed to get a sequel.I know that Kite holds some relative importance in the world of anime since Quinten Tarintino was inspired enough by it to give to actress Chiaki Kuriyama in preparation for her role as Gogo Uubari in Kill Bill Vol.
