Umetsu's Kite to Fly High on Hulu
(New York City) Media Blasters, Inc. proudly announces the newly restored, high-definition premiere of Yasuomi Umetsu's KITE and KITE LIBERATOR, the ground-breaking, cult classic anime now streaming on Hulu.com! Media Blasters has pain-stakingly gone back to the original 35mm and video elements to create a definitive HD edition to coincide with the release of the live-action motion picture starring India Eisley, Callan McAuliffe and Samuel L. Jackson. KITE and KITE LIBERATOR in HD are streaming now on Hulu, the premiere destination for premium content on any device, at anytime, anywhere!
KITE tells the saga of Sawa. She may be cute. She may be young. She may seem innocent and naïve but don't be fooled. She's a cold-blooded killer and if you're on the wrong side of the law, you may be her next target. After the brutal double murder of her parents, the young Sawa is orphaned and taken in by two detectives. Not content to watch the corrupt justice system let dangerous criminals go free every day, the detectives train Sawa to be his blunt instrument of justice.
KITE unfolds with stunning imagery and animation from the dark imagination of Yasuomi Umetsu, the character designer and animation director of such anime classics as MEGAZONE 23 PART 2, ROBOT CARNIVAL (PRESENCE) and the NEW GATCHAMAN (G-FORCE). A perverse cross between THE PROFESSIONAL and LA FEMME NIKITA, KITE is sure to shock and entertain every anime fan! KITE and the long-awaited sequel, KITE LIBERATOR will debut on blu-ray courtesy of the AnimeWorks label on November 25th.
