Kite Liberator

Watch Kite Liberator (2008) online on iFILM — a 57-minute anime OVA directed by Yasuomi Umetsu, who created the original Kite. By day, Monaka is an unremarkable college student: quiet, clumsy, waitressing to get by while her astronaut father remains worlds away on an orbital mission. After dark she becomes the Angel of Death — a hired assassin who eliminates targets with cold precision and leaves nothing behind except a scatter of feathers.

The OVA picks up years after the events of the first Kite, shifting the protagonist but keeping Umetsu's sharp visual style and his refusal to make things comfortable for his characters. Short, bleak and efficient. Stream Kite Liberator online on iFILM.
