I think some movies are always going to be affected by the lens you watch them under. I'm a massive fan of a horror movie called "The Collector". About a jewel thief who breaks into a house only to be forced to battle a serial killer who's created elaborate traps to torture the family who was supposed to be on vacation. The movie has an amazing soundtrack, great writing and cinematography, but at the end of the day it's a gory horror, difficult appreciate for anyone excepting film makers and horror fans.
MFKZ is stuck in a similar position. Its a scifi neo jpop gangsta animation that both embraces thug culture aesthetic while at the same time pointing out how miserable it is and being an epileptic seizure inducing animated scifi comedy superhero film.
Whos the audience for that? Well I guess I am. I loved the refusal to adhere to a consistent animation technique. I loved the style and I cheered at the shoot outs.
I think its awesome in the same way "Into the spider-verse" is awesome. Its action filled, kinetic and as an artist, inspiring. If I had a complaint Id say some of it is a bit been there done that, as far as the story goes. If youve seen anything like Kill-La-Kill youve seen this before. Still, I personally loved it.
