And Kite in all these respects feels very much a child of its time, especially knowing that certainly not all old OVAs were good. The animation itself with its roughness gives a nostalgic feeling, something distinct form that lighter computer-enhanced art nowadays. There’s a certain charm that 80s and 90s OVAs have – that of dark settings, lots of violence, and, in this case, girls with guns.
It’s plain to see why Kite managed to earn some fan-following.
Well, it depends on your view towards hentai, but that’s not the aspect I want to discuss now. Just for the record, as far as I know from little research, plotwise (not “plot”-wise) the shorter version is as good, and might even be better without mostly unnecessary 15 additional minutes. The shorter version somehow ended up being on Crunchyroll, and there’s where I watched it, so don’t expect me to talk anything about hentai stuff. Technically, it’s a hentai, but there exists a shorter version (approximately 45 min long compared to 60 min) that has all that risky stuff cut out. Western audiences seem to enjoy an OVA from 1998 called Kite.
