How long is a kite in anime?

Kite, known as A Kite in Japan, is a Japanese anime OVA written and directed by Yasuomi Umetsu. The original Japanese release ran for two 30-minute episodes. However, subsequent releases, including all three DVD releases in the United States, have edited the OVA into a 60-minute anime film.

Where can I watch kite OVAs?

The original Kite isn't available for streaming anymore as far as I remember, no one has the license, you can find Kite: Liberator which was the sequel OVA on Crunchyroll or VRV in the US. I'm watching it On VRV now.

Should I watch kite on Netflix?

You should watched this on a stream via internet. Netflix supposedly sensors the sex senes which are key in charactor/story development (even if they overdid it a tad). What to say about this one...? Kite is one of those anime that I want to like more than I do, but is impossible to do so as a critic.

Synopsis

After her parents were brutally murdered, school girl Sawa was taken into custody by Akai and Kanie, a pair of detectives assigned to her case. Corrupt and immoral, they train the girl to become a weapon, dangling the promise of vengeance in front of the hapless orphan.

Background

This OVA has been released in three versions: a censored version; a "director's cut," with an extra fifteen minutes of footage; and the original "uncut" version, which remains uncensored. The uncut version contains graphic sexuality and graphic nudity, which led to the OVA in its original state getting banned in many countries.
