Plot[edit]
A strange girl feels that she is out of place in her school. The people around her are also strange. The Russian military attacks the school and she kills them with an AK-74.

Reception[edit]
The film was panned by audiences, earning 2.43/5 stars on Yahoo Movies Japan and 2.5/5 stars on Eiga.com, with viewers citing the nonsensical story and bad acting as its biggest problems while praising its visuals.[2][3] ScreenAnarchy stated: "Once again, Oshii Mamoru has made a film which is mostly for himself, treading ground he has covered before in other (and sometimes better) films. But as his reality-addled puzzles go, this one is actually pretty straightforward, and not too hard to solve. Most fans of his work will probably be pleased."[4]
