[Live Action DVD] A Fist Full of Fuku Review

[Chris Beveridge]

Review by Chris Beveridge

Mania Grade: B-

In Summary:
Combat Beauty made me laugh as it showed us what a live action anime property would look and feel like. A Fist Full of Fuku made me laugh as it plays up the silliness to another level as they essentially skewer and make fun of the movie at the same time. I don’t know that this would work for everything Switchblade does, but it’s good to see some familiar names working in something like this. Monica Rial has a lot of fun as Yuki and special props to Rob Mungle for his performance as Hiawatha as he really seemed to relish the role. The musical number in this is worth the price of admission alone. I can’t really recommend this show as something to serious check out, but I can recommend it as a piece of comedy that you’ll want to show other people in that “hey, check this out!” unbelievable way.
