Synopsis

Virtual reality. Murder. Werewolves. And teen girls! In a future where nothing is as it seems, can old legends come true? In the near future, humans will communicate almost exclusively through monitors, making real interaction a rarefied and weak occurrence for those living in a near totalitarian society. In this new world of communication, children are only allowed to interact personally on school grounds. So when a serial killer starts slaughtering junior high children the communication routes go under further surveillance. And despite all the safeguards put in place to avoid physical interaction, the killer's latest victim turns out to have been in contact with three young girls: Tsuzki Mio, a certified prodigy; Matsuno Hatsuki, a quiet but opinionated classmate; and Kouno Ayumi, her best friend. And as the girls get caught up in trying to quell curiosity under such terrorist scrutiny, Hatsuki learns that there is much more than meets the eye of their monitored communications.

izlude This awesome anime film is about a futuristic dystopia ruled by a technocracy. Children are the world's greatest asset and so they are closely monitored and made sure to grow up to what society sees fit. Physical contact is limited to control disease. Each individual carries a monitor that tracks via GPS and acts as smart phone and a plugin to a social database to interact with others. (Facebook/Google+ anyone?) Quick synopsis: Groups of friends are predetermined and setup by counselors. In this case, our main cast, Makino Hazuki, Kono Ayumi, Mio Tsuzuki, and Yuko Yabe. Yuko goes missing and was thought to have been a murder victim. With this, Mio breaks Makino out of the system with her Magic (hacking abilities) and they meet up with Kono in order to find out what has happened. You'll find out that the story is more about Kono, despite it being in the eyes of Makino.The art is quite cute. The cast is wonderful. The music and overall experience were enjoyable. It is not too hardcore (has a bit of violence) but appropriate enough for younger viewers.I'd give the move an 8/10 but I see there's a LOT of unfair votes putting this movie down to 5/10, so I'll gladly vote 10/10 for this one. If you want a "TRUE" and "FAIR" review of this movie, check this link:
viligeidiot I''m a large fan of good Anime , preferring the more 'adult' themed titles in general (NOT pornographic or fetish) and while this Anime did have an adult oriented theme running through it, it was mostly child based characters. This wasn't what detracted from the film though, it was the plot of a serial killer hunting girls that didn't have ANY cohesion to it whatsoever, a misleading title that means 'werewolf' in french but has nothing of the sort in the film and the most tenuous of connections to a 'lone wolf' that I've ever seen and characters that were boring bordering on inane. For example: the main 'boy' character's main feature was no character whatsoever... he was akin to an emotionless robot and the main 'girl' character... well she was annoying on multiple levels with he inability to communicate.. not that she couldn't, she has some kind of 'disorder' but the fact that over half of her utterances are just sighs, moans, 'ooohs' and 'ahhs' to the point that it almost seems like audio porn. Irritating and disgusting considering it's a 12 year old.All in all, the story refused to explain itself throughout and ended with such an anti-climax I wanted to smash the screen in rage. Just because it's an adult oriented Anime with mature themes and pretty artwork does NOT make it any more palatable than an episode of Teletubbies!Stay away from this one and save yourself an hour and a half of your time.
