found this looking through Japanese titles on Netflix in an attempt to keep up on my Japanese skills.
This wasn't a good choice, since the dialogue is almost entirely rapped which made it even harder to follow. I was also unfamiliar with both the filmmaker and the manga source material so would have been pretty lost without the subtitles.
Still a pretty fascinating, if not necessarily good, flick (though I still need to watch the last :40 or so). Ridiculous. Fairly misogynistic, but it's hard to tell if that's just part of the ridiculousness.
Looks like critical reception has been pretty mixed, with several of the reviews I've found expressing the same mixture of responses I felt.
Curious about what the PTP film cognoscenti may have thought of this, if you've seen it. word of caution if you haven't: while the main 'good guy' crew's raps are generally pretty good, several of the villains are awful.

You can tell it’s the same story but man is the presentation different.
Basically, add rap for dialogue, boobs, a post-apocalyptic setting, huge dose of camp, martial arts, and turn it up to 11. (No death by anal rape in the movie, though.)
