Kick-Heart

The story had potential, but there are just too many loopholes for it to be actually good; it's just a 12-minute movie so it makes sense, but even so that doesn't mean I'm gonna rate it higher overall. However, for the story I'll give it a 7/10, which is more for the potential than the execution.

The story is about 2 pro wrestlers, a sadistic woman and a masochistic man, who have 2 matches and who happen to encounter each other outside the wrestling ring without knowing. Its main theme would be the power to resist temptations to protect what's really important; we get to understand ... that from the second match, in which the man participates wishing to use the money for an orphanage. Lady S, who is actually a nun at the said orphanage and knows the man and that he's a masochist, requested the match to test his resolve.

Which is all good; but then aside this we have a lot of question left unanswered. How did Julia, the nun, know that the man that visited the orphanage is her opponent? What happened in that scene with the "python" in the toilet? Why did the man and his wrestling partner, Chicken, have to run after the first match? Aside all the questions, there is also the development overall that could have been better.

The art was alright, but it isn't the kind that would get you amazed or that would make the anime better.

Well, overall it's not really such a waste since it's only 12 minutes long, but you won't lose anything if you don't watch it either.
