Story
Despite the use of the Youth Ordinance Bill to enforce curfews for minors and regulate the use of the internet, young people continue to fight for their own freedom through underground methods. One such group calls themselves SIRRUT. They have decided to take on Fumito Nanahara, a man who has great influence on the political world, and basically controls Tokyo with an iron fist. While using the internet as a weapon to discover more information about Fumito, they learn about "Tower", the secret organization behind Fumito which engages in human experimentation.
When members of Surat attempt to set up an ambush in the subway to expose the truth behind "Tower", mysterious creatures suddenly appear and attack the passengers. During this crisis, Saya appears - a young girl who uses a Japanese blade to slay the Old Ones. The same Saya who lost everything dear to her in that horrifying incident in Ukishima Province. What sort of "experiment" is Fumito and "Tower" trying to conduct using the Old Ones? And can Saya finally deliver vengeance to Fumito? -MAL
Quick thoughts: Well, at least this movie was more tolerable to watch than the TV anime. But it did have some great actions scenes and very smooth animation. But some of the new characters in this story were unnecessary and some plot points were a bit unclear. Although, I was kind of disappointed that the climax of the movie ended so easily. No matter what obstacles you throw in front of Saya, she manages to take care of it just like that. But overall, an okay film.
