Episode 354: Kamikaze Girls (2004)

Have you ever wondered how the co-hosts of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake ever met? Well, tonight's film, Tetsuya Nakashima's Kamikaze Girls (2004) sums it up pretty damn well! Picture it, Momoko Ryugasaki/Jonathan a young, jaded girl obsessed with a bygone era of hedonism and Rococo tendencies. On the opposite end of the spectrum, is Ichigo "Ichiko" Shirayuri/Dan as a renegade, trash talking, yanki biker chick taking the world by the balls. When these two uncanny friends meet, an action packed, comical journey begins. From looking for long lost ateliers, striking it rich in seedy pachinko parlors, and speeding down the highway at top speed on motorbikes, this one has got it all. Can Momoko and Ichiko learn from each other and develop longstanding connections? Dan and Jonathan have been at it for years, but maybe these blockheads still have a shot...
