Plot: Hiromi Yoshii (Asumi Miwa) is an attractive high school student who's recently become interested in a new local trend known as "assisted dating." But as Hiromi soon discovers, the girls who get caught...( read more read more... ) up in this phenomenon are actually being used as prostitutes. A follow-up to the 1992 Japanese film Tokyo Decadence, this picture offers a softer, more subdued glimpse at Japan's modernized sex trade.

    The description for Love & Pop doesn't do the film justice. It's much more than a simple look at the "assisted dating" trend. You follow Hiromi through hanging with her friends to dealing with her emotional issues. This journey would seem fairly boring, but Hideaki Anno's directing style makes it more interesting than your typical story of a naive teenager. Much of the camerawork is very experimental and the aspect ratio changes thru-out. The ratio used thru most of the film bothered me at first but I grew accustomed to it fairly quickly.

    a story about some schoolgirls who liked to get some perv in order to get extra cash. the direction is very innovative, hey used a mini digital camera, and mounted it in some unusual places, like inside the bowl of food and inside the girl's skirt.

    Hideaki Anno live-action début does a great job transforming what would just be a film about bored schoolgirls trying to figure out what to do with the rest of their lives into something much more interesting. It's rather disturbing to think what some schoolgirls would bear just to earn some extra cash, such as going out with middle-aged perverts and stalkers they meet in the street or through mobile phone dating services. Of course, Hideaki Anno's visual trademarks (filmed in mini-digital camcorders) and recurring themes are all present.

    Interesting look at a group of friends trying to earn money by "dating". One girl finds herself in some "sticky" situations!
