A different approach in an average anime movie.
6 June 2006
This different from the other anime I know so far.

This takes place in Modern day Tokyo. The story is about 3 homeless people. One is a girl who ran away from home. The other is Gin, a drunk gambler who once had a family. And the other is Hana(Uncle Bag), a Transsexual.

These 3 UN predictable heroes find an abandon baby at the dump.

Hana finds this a great moment to have (Her) own child but the other 2 know that no one can be that heartless in abandoning a child.

So they must go on a quest in tracking down the baby's parents.

Only it won't be easy as Tokyo is one big city and there's danger where ever you look. Specially when it's Christmas time and every one else is at home enjoying their Christmas while our trio is risking their lives for one baby.

The movie isn't dubbed like other anime. Just Japanese and subtitles. Which is fine since that way people wouldn't argue about the differences between Dub and sub.

The humor in it is mild, there's violence, plenty of adult theme, and a couple of visible view of the female breast. So as you might already can tell it's an anime for mature audiences. So try to keep this away from 13 and under.

But I highly recommend it to die hard Anime and Japan fans. The story is different from what you'll experience and it does end with a somewhat happy ending in a way. Rent it and see it for yourself.
