This film essentially begins with a cyborg known simply as "964 Pinocchio" (Haji Suzuki) being discarded by his owner because he was no longer able to function in a sexual manner. He then proceeds to aimlessly wander about the city until he meets a young female named "Himiko" (Onn-chan) who takes him to her place of abode. Once there she gradually teaches him how to speak and its at that point that he undergoes a series of dramatic changes which also affects Himiko--to the point that she becomes homicidal in nature and creates even more problems for everyone involved with him. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I had hoped to see a good science-fiction or horror movie possibly containing some elements of eroticism here and there. Unfortunately, beyond the cyper-punk environment, all I saw was a multitude of special effects combined with a lot of screaming and running around. I didn't find it "artistic" or in any way enjoyable for that matter, and I have rated it accordingly.
