It's Cinderella via geishas, robots, and gore. The plot is meant to be stupid, that's the whole point - it's a vehicle for absurdity, a satire of cinema from first principles, an assault on all good sense and reason. Which is why it's great! Japanese humour at its finest, or not far off it anyway. Still not as much fun as The Machine Girl, but well worth having in the collection.
