I watched this anime in elementary school, and it traumatized me so much I forgot about it until seeing clips a few years ago. You know what traumatized me? It wasn't the gore, or degenerate scenes, it was the ending where that punk-ass child shot that guy while he was bringing food to his cats. Seeing the cats waiting for food, not knowing that the guy will never come feed them, upset me so much I wiped the anime from my memory.

I literally watched the uncensored version of this when i was a child in the late 90's.

Kite was shown on German public TV in an era where censorship and banning of violent media in Germany was at its height. And I vividly remember how icky the abuse scene was. So this being banned comes to me as a surprise. I mean even No Doubt copied Kite for one of their music videos.

[@RH85X]

Geeze I watched it on german TV when I was around 14/15 on Vox. I even taped it on VHS back in the days. But it was like 10 years later, that I realized, that the TV Version had most of the sex scenes cut and that a uncut version even existed. So I was even more surprised, it was (though cut) even shown on TV.

[@TCSyd]

I've seen Kite and Mezzo Forte. I agree that the explicit content in Kite is pretty important to the story and provides meaningful context. Mezzo Forte's explicit content, on the other hand, is mostly just there for its own sake.

I fucking love old anime. Most of my top fav anime aired in or before 1999.

Not to mention the music selection of 80s pop or 90s jazz. I just wish others would give the forgotten old stuff a chance too :’(

[@Kakashigirl250]

I feel the opposite way (I’m 27) I can’t get into new anime. I’m not sure if it’s because anime in general isn’t as entertaining to me as much anymore or if it’s the art style.

[@kajina91]

nostalgia is strong with this one. I watched it 20 years ago in the middle of the night. only one channel showed those kind of anime after midnight in germany. I only knew and watched anime like dragonball, sailor moon, digimon etc. and I learned about a whole new world of anime at that time. Kite left a big impression on me as a teenager and I never forgot about it.

good old late night section on vox. I was lucky enough I could record now classics like Rei Lan, Midnight Panther Dragon Knight 4 ever and Kite on tape to watch later, as my mom considered it just kids cartoons, even though they ran in the middle of the night *cough* Still to this day some of my favorite Henti especially Kite

I have no idea how, but I came across A Kite on KZbin in several parts when I was 16. I fell in love with it for its grittiness.

It is legitimately amazingly good which put it on the radar of people who were not in the anime niche back in the 90's, and then the subject matter took it down. I can find H stuff before and after Kite came out that are FAR worse in cultured scenes and subject matter but because they are extremely obscure and did not get ported over to the rest of the world and their quality is what you would expect, they flew under the radar. Kite was just too good not to get noticed... and it was the 90's.

The cut movie version of this literally used to be on Netflix. When I was a kid my best friend and I watched it together at a sleepover and were, naturally, highly disturbed. While the 7 minutes have been cut out, there are still references to what happens scattered here and there in the film. Even to this day, that movie leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth just because of how I first experienced it.

[@user-oh2cg3on1e]

I remember watching this at around 1am on a random movie channel (that wasn’t always a movie channel?) on super basic basic cable around 1999/2000. Blew my mind. Fell in love. Very cool premise. I was 10. That following summer I was gifted bepop. Kite was my first real anime. Although i loved dragon ball(z), gundam, and ronin warriors; Tom and the toonami shows just never scratched that itch for me. teen assassins with exotic ammo fighting the worst of humanity on both sides of the law > magic beans, power levels, and namekians.

The No Doubt music vid to the song "Ex-Girlfriend" is almost a shot for shot of scenes from Kite. I kid you not. As for the Anime, it's on my self so I do own the Director's Cut. I actually didn't really consider it a "H" to begin with. I considered it a suspense crime, corrupt cops type thing. The "cut" section made the bad guys "worse" and made the ending more impactful.

This is why I love La Blue Girl... it is about ninjas who use sex to over-power ones opponent. It is hilarious, yet it is liberating both women and men. I find it very balanced. For a henti, it has a very interesting story-arch and the character development is nice... you grow to love the characters, especially the main ones.

Kite is a common name for several predator birds that are graceful, but can also be seen as ruthless and extremely deadly. I would assume this is where the name comes from, not a child's toy known to dive to the ground when you lose control of it :p I'll have to give this a go, as it certainly seems far less offensive than The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and that only received an R rating in the US despite having all of the same scenes.

[@carlvincent12]

So Joey holds two doctorates…Doctor of Jelly and Doctor of Henti. His mom must be so proud

[@caiocesar1504]

You know... Kite's content may be offensive but it's overall really grounded Are we really suposed to ignore the fact that we have gangs and mafias abusing vulnerable high-school girls? Recruiting, using and training the young and vulnerable to do their biding? And yes - Sex and sexual abuse is all a part of that. And we should not pretend that it isn't It tells a grounded and cohesive story. A fucked up one, for sure. But all fucked up elements happen in the real world and that said cursed content is actually usefull and helps with the story being told. Either estabilishing the dephts of depravity this world has or building characters Also, i really love the 90's anime style. Kinda wish we could bring it back

[@clu1632]

I fully agree with this statement.

[@dragonangel194]

I agree. Art can push boundaries, and anime is never afraid to do so. The beauty of horror, dark fantasy, etc is that is can explore themes like this does by hitting the viewer with it raw in the face. Another example is violence jack. It may be extremely offensive, but a LOT of what happened in the anime is what has happened in warzones after the complete and utter breakdown of a society, which is ultimately the point is it trying to get across.

As a young lad in the midwest of the united states, who would go into Blockbuster and purposely look at anime, take it off the shelf and try to find anything R...containing nudity and as much gore as I could, because teenage things. I rented many movies and series, many of them extremely fucked up or just bizarre. Ninja Scroll or course, Kimera, Key metal idol...as a few examples. Now this is when I really found that the rating system they had was entirely broken or so utterly lazy that it didn't matter. I rented full on R Anime, listed as "Full nudity and sexually explicit content.....only to find like 5 frames of boobs. Then I rented a movie with a cool cover listed as "brief nudity and violence" it was Kite.....and it had all sex scenes.

Yes, VCR stands for Videocassette Recorder. As in, the thing that records onto a videocassette. The videocassette does not record, the machine does. And, while, yes, VHS stands for Video Home System, VHS (produced by the brand JVC) is actually a format for videocassette tapes, the other major format being Betamax (produced by Sony). But because Betamax basically became obsolete, nearly all VCRs only play VHS tapes, and nearly all videocassettes are in the VHS format. Hence VHS becoming shorthand for videocassettes as a whole (sort of like how we call facial tissues Kleenex, even though they're not all actually Kleenex brand). This is also why VCRs are sometimes referred to as VHS players. So, no, VHS is not the machine. It is the tape/videocassette.

Another piece of media based on Kite Joey forgot to talk about was the music video of No Doubt for the song "Ex girlfriend". The video adapted the bathroom brawl and some other minor scenes from the OVA, keeping it, to this date, as a more faithful adaptation of the source than the actual live-action movie.

[@yung_bonsai]

Honestly, this video is mind blowing to me. I originally saw KITE without any of the sex scenes, and consider it one of my favorite anime "movies" (both episodes back to back) without ever knowing that there were any sex scenes. I will have to track that old version down now. I could see how these being included into the anime making it much better. I always noticed how the grooming and sexual nature being insinuated.
