Let’s face it. Oneechanbara: The Movie – Vortex caters to a specific target market. It is a movie that features a girl in just her underwear and a cowboy hat, draped with feather boa, and katanas as weapons in fighting zombies. And she has all the right assets to keep guys glued to the screen.
This genre is an acquired taste that one develops during his puberty stage. Some outgrow it while there are others like me who still enjoy watching this type of movie. It has zombies, sword fighting, blood and gore. What more can you ask for? Oh, did I mention that it has pretty girls as well?
Oneechanbara: The Movie – Vortex is a sequel. Well, I haven’t seen the first one yet but I read that the storylines of both movies are unrelated with each other and although the main characters are the same, the actresses that played them are different.
It is about Aya (Yu Tejima), a skillful swordswoman who has cursed blood of Imichi flowing through her veins. She roams the streets and fight zombies with the help of her sister Saki (Kumi Imura). The evil Himiko (Rika Kawamura) wants their blood so that she could remain young forever. Another eye candy in the movie is Aya’s old friend Reiko (Akina Ozawa), who is an expert with the long rifle.
Don’t expect the fight scenes of this movie to be innovative and fresh. But it is good enough to satisfy my craving for some action. And if you’re still wondering, the answer is no. It doesn’t have any full nudity of any sort nor does it have any sexual or perverse acts. It’s a plain old action flick with zombies, blood, and babes.
If you’re looking for mindless fun then check out Oneechanbara: The Movie – Vortex. The story might be sketchy but who gives a damn about the plot when you got hot chicks wielding swords on the screen fighting zombies. That’s good enough for me.
