Meh

I guess you have to be into Anime to appreciate this. It was imaginative and had some cool makeup, but the special effects seemed cheesy and outdated. If this movie were a scientific experiment, it would prove that a lot of men will sit through anything if there is a reasonably hot girl taking her top off every 3 to 5 minutes. I watched it to the end.

So bad and so goooood

It's so trash that I couldn't keep my eyes off it.There's a lot of colour, it's imaginative, there's nudes, there's violence and gore, it's eye candy, it's like an adult anime with many references to old cartoons (the fist of the north star in particular) .Very often expensive productions with a lot of special effects lack this kind of imagination and passion.Please watch it, sustain this kind of movies, I am sure Quentin Tarantino would agree with me. In a way it reminds me of Grindhouse productions (with a big intellectual effort of course).The TV anchorman was so funny, like taken from an old 80's movie.

An Absolute Blast!

OK, mea culpa, I am not a huge anime or manga fan, so I can't tell how faithful this movie is to the source, but I can confirm that "Lion-Girl" is an absolute blast from start to finish.It starts out with a bang, one of the best movie openings in a long time and never really lets up for the entirety of its run time. The action takes place sometime in the future where a rain of meteors have not only wiped out most life on earth, but these meteors also exude radiation that will kill most people... and if it doesn't kill you, it turns you into monsters called "anorocs" that hunt humans. Only Tokyo has survived, and an evil overlord has taken power over the surviving humans imposing his will over everyone (his motto is "Don't live long, and die working.") Luckily, Lion-Girl exists, equipped with powers, to fight to save the people from both the anorocs and the evil overlords. And this movie is her story...Filled with violence, outrageous costumes and effects, and lots of nudity, "Lion-Girl" is great fun. It does have some social commentary, but it never gets preachy and it's all nicely integrated into the bizarre world. And even at a two-hour running time, the story never lets up or drags.Pretty highly recommended, haven't had this good a time watching a movie in a while.
