Fantasia Film Festival 2014: NUIGULUMAR Z (GOTHIC LOLITA BATTLE BEAR) Review by Ous Zaim

Presented by the director himself the brilliant and flamboyant Mr. Noboru Iguchi, you just couldn't help but get into a pure KAWAI! mood from the start. And let me tell you, this shiny colorful on-screen gem will indeed keep a smile plastered on your face for its duration. Adorable, unbelievable and vibrant, BATTLE BEAR brings a bright new contender to the often grim world of the super-hero. Be warned, it starts and finishes with a manic pace that makes the time rocket into super-happy joyland. A must see.
