Wolf Girl and Black Prince is a lighter show compared to Itazura na Kiss, and doesn't go on for as long. But it has a nice pacing for 12 episodes and it still features -- you guessed it -- super sadistic guy, and a heroine who can't help but fall for him and get strung along.

The saga of Kill Bill Volume I begins. Goofs Texas Ranger Earl McGraw's deputy/son tells him there are 9 people dead in the Church, before they realized the bride was alive. Later, when Beatrix is narrating O'Ren's anime sequence assassinating the man in the limo, she says O'Ren played a part in killing 9 innocent people, including her unborn daughter, but she made one big mistake, she should have killed 10!

The deputy should have said that 10 people were dead, or even 11 if he had realized she was pregnant, though it appears it's his dad that notices her pregnancy. Sure it's outlandishly violent and bloody. Can anyone expect Tarantino's movie not to be a true mind-blowing, adrenaline-pumping shocker? Of course not! Gritty and slick, his first installment of KB rocks with moody western imagery, the '60s and '70s-era of Hong Kong martial arts-action, the influences of the ritualistic samurai swordsmanship, and Japanese anime. Like in all his films, Tarantino never fails to merge dark humor with terror. It's impossible not to smile over the Shaw Bros.'

Audio uroki gruzinskogo yazika. Iconic introduction ploy and the De Palma-esque split screens. Observe the `Carrie' blank-starry eyed image settled on The Bride's gory face as she's introduced to the audience. Perhaps, Uma Thurman in her yellow suit is a salute to the yellow-suited Bruce Lee in his last film, The Game of Death. Or is The Bride 'Just another little Western girl playing at being a samurai' - as O-Ren Ishii blatantly puts it?

This film's a sampling of the Tarantino 'fury,' short of the Tarantino customary fiery tongue. It celebrates the Tarantino trademark of avoiding the use of computer-generated CGI special effects. It's almost as if I'm watching a colorful and bloodied kabuki stage that's displaying a stunningly massive tournament of multi-layered kung-fu and female samura sword-fighting styles to dazzle the audience. It's examining how Tarantino catalogues the great stylistic elements of his favorite 'old-school' filmmakers and transforms them into a phenomenally creative and mesmerizing film. Yep, there's a great deal of captivatingly artistic boldness in this film. Powerfully portrayed and not to be easily forgotten. Violently brutal and gloriously gory without doubt, and yet so aesthetically operatic and astoundingly artful.
