Milo, a review by addicted2dvd

Milo
In a quiet suburban town, four young girls witness the demise of a classmate at the hands of Milo, a young boy who mysteriously disappears. Sixteen years later, the wedding of one of the four girls brings them all back to the place of their childhood trauma, only to have the horrifying nightmare of the demonic Milo return as well.

My Thoughts:
This is a movie that I bought several years ago when I used to buy off of Ebay. And is one of the reasons I stopped buying from Ebay sellers. As I have reason to believe my copy of this movie is a bootleg copy. I only watched this once when I first got it... and decided to watch it again today to decide if I enjoyed it enough to replace it with a proper release. After watching it... at least at this point I am undecided about it. As this movie is little better then an average horror movie. So I am not sure if I want to put more money to this particular title. It is a pretty good idea for a story... but the actual movie didn't come out as good as it should have. Sections of the movie was rather slow... being only mildly entertaining.

Plot:
On a warm, cloudy afternoon, Tomari bursts in on two girls from her class, Hazumu and Yasuna, sharing a tender first kiss. Her heart breaks ... from jealousy.

Hazumu was born a boy, but he certainly doesn't act it. He's sensitive, delicate, and loves gardening. Lucky for him, he grew up with the tomboy Tomari, who is always there to protect him. Despite her own feelings, she pushes Hazumu to confess his love to the elegant Yasuna. After Yasuna rejects him, he retreats into the mountains in despair. So begins the strange series of events that changes him into a her, and earns her the love of both Yasuna and Tomari.


Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl
1.01 The Young Boy's Life Changed That Day
Writer: Satoru Akahori (Original Material By), Yukimaru Katsura (Original Material By), Jukki Hanada (Screenwriter)
Director: Nobuaki Nakanishi
Cast: Kana Ueda (Hazumu Osaragi (voice)), Yui Horie (Yasuna Kamiizumi (voice)), Yukari Tamura (Tomari Kurusu (voice)), Masumi Asano (Ayuki Mar (voice)), Daisuke Ono (Asuta Soro (voice)), Yuko Mizutani (Namiko Tsuki (voice)), Makoto Yasumura (Hajime Osaragi (voice)), Yuko Nagashima (Kaoru Osaragi (voice)), Ryoko Shintani (Spaceship (voice)), Keiji Fujiwara (Alien (voice)), Asuka Nakase (Female Track Club Member (voice)), Michael Naishtut (Man A (voice)), John Wyckoff (Man B (voice))

An alien spaceship accidentily kills the main protagonist. But they are able to reconstruct him, but they switched the gender.
Now the boy is a girl caught in a love triangle with two other girls. Both of which were in love with him before and now have come to terms with him being a girl.
I really had enjoyed this series. It is well done and handles the matter surprisingly well considering it is a comedy. I also have read the manga and enjoyed that one as well.
