It's not a classic but I enjoy it for what it is. Basically, I view the original as a fun little bit of 90s schlock with a great cast and fantastic practical effects. Let me preface this review by saying that I consider myself a fan of the original Species and have varying opinions on the sequels. They know how to put in the eroticism in the right way, and compared to their American counterpart, light years ahead in production quality. Japanese seems to have worked out the formula for these low budget direct to video erotic movies. Don't expect much content in this movie, but it's made very well considering its low budget. Aliens, girls, and serial killing, punctuated with sexual scenes is what this movie is about. Maria Ozawa has great looking thighs, so she was the right choice for this role. Two other girls who are co starring in the movie has their thighs prominently featured throughout the movie. Furthermore, she doesn't speak a word, and no one thinks that's suspicious. Only her thighs when she walks around indicates that it's "her". In the beginning, the girl's face isn't even shown. Thighs seems to be the visual theme of this movie. She's chasing the alien who took over the girl's body. Then a strange transfer student shows up at her class. She then starts to covertly kill victims using the tentacles that seem to come out of any parts of her body. She goes to school, and her classmates doesn't suspect what's going on either. She goes home, and nobody suspects what's going on. But somehow, all the dead corpses seems to be young girls which brings in the erotic angle to the movie. Tokyo Species, as the title may suggest is about an alien parasite taking over freshly dead corps of human beings.
