Mutafukaz is brimming with style and charm. It's not the best movie in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but it's worth the watch.
Mutafukaz's art is its best quality. Brimming with style and charm, every part of the artistic process is shined to near perfection. What stands out most to me is the environmental design--I really haven't quite seen anything like it in animation before. The movie captures the atmosphere so well. The character design is really cool too--weird and strange and not at all the polished perfection we're used to seeing in anime, but still really good and charming nonetheless. The studios and animators working on this captured Guillaume "Run" Renard's art style to a T. Seeing things move in this movie is masterful. My only gripe is that the action scenes…

This is one of those rare, totally unique, stand-alone productions that you see just once a decade. With incredible visuals and animation, I’d describe Mutafukaz as They Live meets GTA San Andreas, directed by David Leitch.
Based on a French comic, but taking place in a fictional Southern California city, and incorporating visual elements from cholo and black hip-hop culture, this film was made for the English dub, which is just fantastic. There is a lot going on in the story, but it’s not so much about focusing on that. What really shines is the insanely well-made action scenes, the funny dialogues and characters (I personally love the Shakespearean gangster), and the amazing atmosphere and visuals.
If you didn't get the references I made in the introduction: This is a very violent blac…

Honestly I don't know why I'm writing this review for a 2 year old movie at this point that probably gets less foot traffic then a dine in restaurant in this messed up Covid 19 world we live in, but with Netfilx adding Mutafukaz (or MFKZ) I was finally able to watch it after missing its small run in theaters. I doubt anyone will read this but if you do cool, I hope you like this review. Here's my thoughts on the movie.
The good, This has some of the best animation I've seen out of the world of anime in recent times. No it's not on par with things like A Silent Voice or other critically acclaimed "beautiful" anime but maybe that's because this movie isn't trying to be anime. It's almost hard to think that something like this could be made by an anime studio because it's so not anime. Yeah…

30 found no interest in the plot
30 couldn’t tell that there was a plot
10 thought the pacing was awful
10 didn’t really care for the quality of the animation
Mutafukaz is a Japanese-French collaboration project between Studio 4°C and Ankama. The former being responsible for projects such as the Berserk movie adaptations, a Batman miniseries, and a film adaptation of one of my favorite manga Kaijuu no Kodomo and the latter having made popular French cartoon series Wakfu. I had high hopes having enjoyed Wakfu a great deal, but those expectations fell woefully short. The production quality and pipeline of Studio 4°C seems to be something I just can’t acclimate too, but most importantly Mutafukaz is just not a cohesive film.
There’s some charm…

Do you know what the best anime movie of the last couple years is? I'll give you a hint: it's nothing by Makoto Shinkai, the Tyler Perry of anime. It's probably this one.
Let's talk about anime movies for a second. There are three kinds of original anime movies:
A. ghibli
B. Over-produced trashy teen romances for the lowest common denominator that could've been live action
C. The rare, totally stand-alone anime film that dares to take full advantage of the medium and delivers art, animation and story concepts that would've never been possible in a TV series format.
This movie, MFKZ, is solidly in group C. This is a Movie with a bold, capital M, and it's one of my biggest contenders for favorite movie of last year. Not just anime movie, not just animated movie, favorite Movie. It's bold…

Mutafukaz is a movie were I just don't know why no one talks about it, it has outstanding art and a soundtrack that feels fresh and not just fitting.
It has some neet ideas with gags that are actually funny, the whole gangster setting isn't something so commen in anime.
Story: 8 it's good but here and there it has it lengts and weird decisions.
Art: 10 the art is what makes this movie so great, everything has lots of details and is in this certain style from the comic.
Sound: 10 the soundtrack is filled with rap and techno just like what the charakters would listen to.
Charakters: they are cool but nothing more.
Enjoyment: 9 with humor and action and new ideas in every scene it never get's boring to watch.
Overall: 10
Conclusion: I had a great time with "Mutafukaz" and will probably rewat…

SS Review – Mutafukaz
(Short and Sour)
It’s hard to keep up with this film…no seriously like there is never a dull moment. The film is constantly flowing and the brief respites feel needed as both I and the main characters are out of breath trying to keep up with all.
The stories about two young boys who regard themselves as the dregs of society, they see themselves as the lowest of the low. Even knowing this they try to survive to the best of their ability, but that does not go to plan when they are suddenly targeted by an unknown organisation. What could they possibly want “we are nobodies”, this is what they tell themselves as they are being chased by this organisation. I won’t say much more than that on the story, it kind of devolves into madness along the way and the chaos just buil…

I see the movie in french, so my review is about the french version :
Not having been able to go to see it at the cinema because discovered too late and very few distributed, I saw it only recently.
This film is really innovative compared to what we used to see in the cinema especially on the side of French films with a surplus of French comedy in bad taste.
A real risk on the part of Run, but the game was worth the candle! The animation is incredible, the universe can seem basic but is sufficiently developed to allow a good understanding, as for the main characters they are really endearing! The choice of dubbing is very good, I think that Gringe and Orelsan managed to detach themselves from their image of the Breaker Flowers, to correctly embody their respective characters.
The film made…

'GTA San Andreas: The Anime'
This is an unbelievably stylish "rule of cool" film with a cast of exotic characters and a crazy story that doesn't make much sense. So turn your brain off, strap in and enjoy the crazy rollercoaster ride of super stylish action.
As with all action flicks the story is more of an afterthought than anything else. The opening scenario was great and the set up with a flashback as the cold open was well done. However the film never goes anywhere with any of this despite the very dramatic and tense opening. It feels like a bunch of storyboards or comic panels went missing during development. A deeper backstory is hinted at throughout and characters get dialogue that implies that there may be more going on but nothing ever comes of any of this By the end of the film…

Just watched the American premiere of MFKZ:
The first thing I'd have to point out about this movie is its striking stylistic identity. It's a Japanese adaptation of a French graphic novel with HELLA American influences. This is pretty much a signature of how the definition of "real anime" is has been blurred in the recent years.
The art and animation delivered this mashup of cultural identities so well that it definitely absorbs the viewer into this dilapidated anime L.A. universe. Background art is crisp and detailed as hell which makes an interesting blend with the abstract, fluidly off-model character animations.
The atmosphere of the entire piece felt solid and unique and was only strengthened by an outstanding soundtrack. The only thing holding the setting back from being what I woul…

This is my first review, so please don't kill me for any mistakes... ;)
Interesting that a quite niche-anime like Mutafukaz gets a two-days cinema screening in Germany thanks to Peppermint. There were just around 20 people in the movie when I was watching it, so financially it may not have been that good for the cinema. Still for me it was worth it.
Story (3/10):
For me, the only bad thing about the movie was the story. Without doing any spoilers, it's just senseless and hilarious, especially in the second half of the movie. It fits to the movie in general, but some things just happen randomly and you think "why the hell is this part of the movie?" or "what's going on here? that doesn't make sense". It's just hangling around from joke to joke without a proper point to reach at first, and…

This is a rare opportunity of a life time when you see a film releasing world wide or i mean all theaters in the US, such as imax etc. Overall shout out to gkids who distributed this film. when it to animation and character design in this film which first started from a comic series that i should probably check out but anyways the way 4c studio adapted so well and so beautiful i was blown away plus this contains veteran animator also other in-between animator as well. Watch the English version. its more proper to the story it take place
When it comes to the plot and narrative which i need to re-watch the film. I do believe the pacing is pretty good to an extent which i mean its somewhat fast past a well, also make the story less flesh out in some certain area such as character, agenda and…
