There are a couple of different ways I tend to approach a film. Sometimes I see a random poster and I think; ''That looks kind of cool I want to watch that.''
Maybe somebody I respect brings up a film they're interested in and thus speaks my own interests.
Or maybe I looked at a random screenshot from someone's twitter depicting an adorable little pink haired guy who I just want to squeeze like an adorable oversized Teddy Bear.
This film Falls firmly in the third category. There's a character by the name of Nichol Hawking who might just be my favourite fictional Crush in any cartoon show.
He's not even all that important to the actual movie. At least no more so than any of the other secondary characters.
He has a massive crush on the lead character Tita (My God you'll certainly remember her name at the end of all this they must mention it about 50 freaking times).
There's this weird sub tone that implies that Tita is far more important to the cast than anyone's letting on.
I suspect her character was meant to be developed more if the show had ever been taken off the ground.
It seems like there was meant to be more to the story than just the 45 minutes we get here.
But since there isn't anything else (excluding a manga book.) we have to content ourselves with what we get here.
And it's a surprisingly basic and well-traded story.
A magical girl MacGuffin is being chased by a nefarious military organization for a dastardly plan. She ends up running into our protagonist and thus gets her embroiled in her problems.
Now MacGuffin girl and our protagonist Tita have to get away from the military, survive possible assassinations and find out just why the Army is so invested in this girl to begin with.
Oh and there's also some boobs from time to time.
We could use these moments to develop our characters, but that's clearly not what the film wants to dedicate its resources to.
It's kind of funny in a way as you could easily cut out porn sections and lose absolutely nothing in the film.
They're not even that prominent. Makes me wonder why they bothered in the first place.
Turns out our McGuffin girl is actually a DNA sequence key needed to activate a super weapon. The military wishes to acquire her DNA to get access to it. After all; ''A weapon unused is a useless weapon''.
Towards the end of the movie after our main crew has been assaulted a few times and the girls beating up like a frozen hunk of meat in a Rocky film.
They decide to take the fight to the military using their one specialized ship to literally infiltrate a large military installation and activate a self-destruct sequence.
They of course succeed in their plan and the evils of the military or stopped. In fact most of them are blown away by some sort of super weapon that happens to be housed within their One Singular ship. And it's surprisingly brutal. The ships are all exploding with heed and seismic energy and one of the crew members inside is literally shown to be obliterated. And the day is saved.The film itself is fine. You've seen this type of story done a hundred times before. It's been twice done in two different Sonic video games for god sakes.
The animation is decent it occasionally steps up its game when it needs to and there can be some really fun events, but there's nothing here that will blow you away.
If you just watching this movie for titillation; Well. You'll get it, but there's certainly better options out there.
Its environment is okay, it's nothing to fleshed-out. But I'd be interested to see more of it if any new material ever surfaced.
And as I stated originally the whole reason I watch this was just see more of the adorable pink Twinkie.
And there's certainly a decent amount of him.
