Dead Leaves Review


Unfortunately, my projection was wrong and the pictures still aren’t working…but still, the show has to still go on anyways, right?
Today I want to talk about one of the greatest anime films of all time…Dead Leaves!

Now if you haven’t heard of it, Dead Leaves is this really trippy, yet absolutely awesome anime film made by the creators of Gurren Lagann. In it, a pair of extremely tough and powerful criminals (with no memory of who they are) get arrested and thrown into a lunar prison known as the DL Correctional facility.
The criminals are, Retro, a man with a retro television set for a head, and Pandy, a woman with a pink spot around her eye that makes her look like a panda bear…and a mysterious secret about her genes…
They break out with the all the inmates (who all have unique and bizarre appearances) and go through an incredibly violent breakout against giant robots, identical prison guards, a pair of psychotic genetically engineered maniacs named Triple Six and Triple Seven (the former being among my favorite anime villains), and the lady warden who desires revenge against the duo for mysterious reasons pertaining to their past.
This film contains a great array of characters, a badass plot, and some of the greatest and most badass stunts put to animation…seriously, can you think of even one movie where you can find someone Triple wield guns?

Now I bring this fantastic story up for a reason…I believe this anime film is much underrated by too. And it shouldn’t be, this film is a great work, if there were anything so cool your head would explode from witnessing it, it’d be this film.
Now don’t take it just from me, go see this film for yourselves. If you love awesome action stunts, hammy acting in a world gone absolutely mad, and men who can turn their body into tons of guns. Then you’ll love this movie.
Anyways, that’s my personal review of Dead Leaves, next week I’ll try to have a brand new theory ready for you.
Cheers!
