Good choreography Good choreography. I watched it for that. And I wasn't disappointed.
I was surprised in the first half with the rather faithful depiction of life. The dojo girl is stupid and plan evil, ready to attack strangers simply because she doesn't get enough money as the students have left the dojo. And how she wraps it all in honor: it is for the dead father's memory, of course.
Or how the police is a violent gang where the privates are the equivalent of any other gang and the leadership equally uninterested in how many die as long as they are winning, just like any other gang leadership.
By half time, all the good parts have subsided. The government is good. Maybe there are a few bad apples, but overall they are the heaven sent. And they are pulled out of the story so they won't commit any atrocities on screen. The bad guy is not just any bad guy. He is a businessman. He is an evil Capitalist. With money. Who disregards honor. Strikes the women, who are weak by design. And worst of all: he is a drug dealer!
Oh yea, and the common backwards mentality exposed in any Manga I have seen so far: the girls are screaming weaklings, mere accessories to the manly boys doing all the saving.
Still, the sword ballet is good.
