I can't wait to add this to my collection. I wonder what kind of slipcover it will have.

The Style of the slip is just like IronMan2's slip
At the New York ComicCon they were selling the Blu-ray early and I got a chance to hold it and that is exactly how the slip is, like IronMan2's slip.
It was sold out when I was going to buy a copy.

Anyone offer up a mini-review? How is it? Can someone give us a comparison movie?

I would welcome someone's opinion as well.

Probably won't get to watch it until this weekend, but it's the same genre as those other "over the top" japanese films coming out recently - Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police, Meatball Machine, Samurai Princess, Hard Revgne Milly, Stacy.

Definitely not for everyone - these are often silly, somewhat ridiculous movies (sort of like an Evil Dead movie). Storyline is often a bit stupid (the movie IS called Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl, afterall). Gore is usually way over the top (something like the crazy 88 fight in Kill Bill).

They're definitely not going to win any awards, but are a fun way to spend an hour or two.

Nice review. Thanks!

I enjoy Funimation's work, especially their slipcovers, but this title seems too cheesy for me...

[thunderforce]

What is this a horror , a comedy or a kung fu fighting movie?

[Zen_Amako]

It's a comedy with a lot of over the top gore effects.

Well, it's rated TV-MA, which is about the TV-equivalent of an "R"

Watched it tonight and had a lot of fun - you definitely need to be "into" these types of movies to enjoy it, but after seeing about 15 of these, this has been in the top as one of the most enjoyable.

Movie itself runs 78 minutes + credits. Frankenstein girl isn't introduced until the 60-minute mark, so the titles a bit odd. It doesnt seem to drag on like some of these do (some of these feel the need to be90 minutes or longer, when they really should be 45-60).

I found the mix of mediums to be a bit distracting (good "fake blood", poor "painted on" blood and some very-bad CGI). I really wish they'd stick to the oldschool effects and not feel the need to mix CGI in when they just can't get it right.

I'm glad they didn't try to use japanese Adult Video stars in this one, as those tend to be just disaster from what I've seen (usually very bad acting and filmed over a couple days).

Video quality is about a 3.5 on the blu. It's filmed on Video (not film) so little grain to be seen.. but saturation is all over the place (even from shot to shot), they also seem to have used different cameras (maybe even some SD cameras?) as the overall look changes within the same scene from shot-to-shot. Some annoying distractions in the video, but mostly from the cameras (not a fault of the blu). Brightness was a bit high - most blacks were a grey color.

Audio is either Japanese 2.0 or English 5.1. I listened to the dub and actually found it to be very well done (probably using Funi's anime voice actors) - comparable to something like Riki-Oh, making it fun to listen to.

Extras about 90 minutes total (mostly in SD).

Overall, I really liked it. You can't expect too much out of the Blu-Ray (Audio/Video-wise) as these really weren't meant for blu-ray. The fact we're getting the blu-ray with some noticeable improvements (and usually cheaper than the DVD) is fantastic. Definitely recommended, but you need to be "into" this genre.

Has anyone noticed a momentary freezing with this disc. On my Oppo BDP-93, the movie would freeze in 2 places. It was as if someone had paused the disc, but you could not resume playback by pressing play. I was able to fast forward couple seconds and resume playback.
