Takeshi's father implements a small Gatling gun for her as a prosthesis . Together with Takeshi's mother, she begins her campaign of revenge.
criticism
"Drill bras, chainsaws, and flying guillotines cut and grind their way through this kinetic killfest that will thrill fans of extreme horror"
"Minase Yashiro sources that pain a bit though. Not only because she's not too shabby to look at, but also because she plays Ami with 100% conviction - and that really helps sell some of the funny lines she has to deliver with a snarl. [...] The Machine Girl is an absolute bloodbath from start to finish and never pretends to be anything else but that. "
Trivia
