If you’ve noticed by now, Neko’s tastes in film tend to run towards horror movies, crazy Asian exploitation and generally weird stuff. But……
Every now and again, your Favorite Catgirl Princess likes to break out the tissues, curl up and watch a sweet, heart touching romance. Mind you, I usually like a ghost or two in the mix, but aliens and time travelers are OK too…. So what could be more perfect than a Japanese Cyborg girl from the future on a mission to protect a hapless but goodhearted geek here in the present?
Our synopsis for this one reads: “Lonely and hopeless geek, Jiro Kitamura (played by Keisuke Koide) always spends his birthdays alone, buying his own gift, and having the same spaghetti dinner every year. It’s his standard routine year after year, but in 2007, he happens upon a girl (played by Haruka Ayase) whom he sees shoplifting a dress from a departmental store, and who unexpectedly crashes his birthday dinner. This begins a wild inexplicable evening in which he starts to fall for her quirky charms just in time for her to leave him just as mysteriously as she came. What is her secret, and will they ever meet again?”
