Anyone here happen to remember this, or watch it recently? I was browsing about trying to decide what to watch and its art style caught my eye. No clue who was behind it or what was up with it, and finally got around to watching it, and it was absolutely worth it!

It's a scifi flick about a couple of amnesiacs waking up naked outside a city with no clue how they found themselves there, but they're hungry and want some clothing so they just raid the city for both and things spiral out from there. It's almost nonstop action with only some brief breathers throughout and it's uh, well, mature and immature simultaneously, so nothing you'd want to show your kids or more, ah, reserved sorts.

If you're down for an absolutely ridiculous, relentless animated action movie, I'd easily recommend this. Very much put me in the mind of Shoot'Em Up (2007).

If you liked the art style and direction of this movie, then what you liked was the signature style of Hiroyuki Imaishi, the main man at Studio TRIGGER. The plots weren't similar but the energy and art in DL is very similar to his other works Fooly Cooly (FLCL), Diebuster, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and Kill la Kill.

Man I love this film, it is one of those ones that I can safely presume most people haven't heard of. It is definitely weird!

Idk it was kind of too chaotic and slapstick weird for me to get into.
