Summary: anyone else get a heavily edited version?
Review: I got it as gift for a friend who's into "hardcore" anime. He's still mad about it - apparently the one I got has been heavily editted (according to him) because it only implies sex - it doesn't show it.

Summary: Speculative violence and expilicit rape scenes.
Review: I have only seen the uncut version of this film, and I must say it's really bad. The plot is virtually non-existant. This is anime exploitation filmmaking at its worst, and the reason a lot of people shun anime. I do however rate it 2 stars because it has some excellent animation (shadows correspond to characters' mouth movements etc.). This film is highly offensive and has little artistic value.

Summary: Good anime. I enjoyed it...
Review: In my opinion, it's not as good as "Kite" but it is very entertaining and it is definitely not for kids. The story, involving a bunch of happy-go-lucky mercenaries and violent gangsters starts off with a bang and keeps going until the last scene. Bullets, bombs, and blood fill the screen in between the car chases and fistfights. Perfect entertainment!

Summary: A Fun but Short Anime
Review: Most anime are fun little distractions, rather then serious works of film. With that in mind, I have to say I love Mezzo Forte, and I love Mikura.The main character of the show is the cute, spunky, and feisty Mikura. She's a badass fighter and really flexible, we never know why she got so good at fighting, but then who cares? She has a firebrand nature, and can be easily upset. Where her two partners are spineless to a point, she is afraid of very few things.
In the same Investigation agency she works for, there are two clowns, Harada a young mechanic of cyborgs, and Mr. Kurokawa, a ex-cop with money. The main story revolves around the trio kidnapping a mob-like owner of a baseball team, but then things go sour fast, and next thing you know there is fighting and explosions, and Mikura!!! The story is by no means great, as it feels as though the writer wanted alot more then an hours worth, but never got it. Secondly, this movie is the prelude to the TV series which is either running or will be running on Japanese TV, which means its more of an introduction to the team, rather then a complete "stand alone" movie. In the end the story is enjoyable for what it is. The animation in the movie is top notch, as it comes from the same guy who brought us the gritty movie "Kite". Mikura, for a cartoon is sexy cute, and all the other characters in the movie are graphically pleasing in their own ways. In the end this a fun little movie, not to be taken seriously, but to be enjoyed for the zanny characters and the excellent graphics.

Summary: A Fun Little Peice of Anime
Review: People expecting the next Kite should deffinatly not watch this. Mezzo Forte is much lighter than Kite (although still VERY violent) and takes everything with the tongue placed firmly in the cheek. Oh and just to make this clear, I saw the cut version of Mezzo Forte (sans all adult scenes). The dub for this release is also pretty well done. Some very familiar voices grace the screen, and not the usual Kitty actors (although I read at AnimeonDVD that the girl who Mikaru had a voice double for the more mature scenes). This is not for kids at all! There is plenty of nudity and some pretty strong sex related dialogue in the first few scenes. Also, even though this is a comedy, it is VERY violent. People are shot, impaled, exploded, and beaten with bats to name a few little things. A deffinate 16+ viewing experince (and the directors cut is deffinatly a 18+.)
