RRH

Cliché as fuck but it looked good. That's the only reason to watch it.

It feels like an elongated episode of Derrick.
A handful of mild action scenes shoehorned into an otherwise entirely unmemorable (I assure you I can't remember it) goop of political intrigue and personal drama between characters who don't seem to give a shit about each other and have no reason to. And there's a very shallow Little Red Herring reference throughout it, to make it seem deeper than it is, as if the actual characters had anything in common with the fary tale's. So I'm kind of intrigued by it at first, I look for similarities, but it all falls flat on its face, people double cross each other, at the end the big guy is sad out of nowhere (don't tell me he had any chemistry with that girl) and the world sucks.

The most coherent idea you could get from it is "people don't realize they're people until it's too late", which is apparently present in other Oshii works, but it sure as hell isn't a compelling or well-expressed notion.

Tried way too hard to get the little red riding hood thing across even tho it was obvious since the start.

Visually pretty
Story was standard "post-90s Oshii" stuff

Would that old man really have shot her if she didn't make him pull the trigger?

I cried a little

Yes, the wolf needs to act like a wolf

So did the PROTAGONIST shoot Little Red Riding Hood at the end, or was it the other guy who had his gun sighted on them from a distance?

it was obviously him

Complete fucking garbage. The only good part was the sound of the MG42s.

It felt way too western and the character designs and voicing were terrible.

The wolf ate little red
