It was really good until ep 8. The mystery has some good layers and the slow burn was great, but I still guessed the plot and suspect early on. Would've loved to see more of Yu. Both the child version and adult version were both very compelling characters and talented.
This is a slight romance. It's areally interesting plot for the romance, with a high school backstory, but that was kind of thrown away. The story is focused on friendship, youth, and dreams. It's a cute show, but the romance was extremely lacking. Fumyia has amazing chemistry with every character, you can feel the love and desperation from him. Tsubasa...not so much. She typically plays the exact same character in every show, sometimes it works, this time it does not.
The show was good until ep 7 when it took a nosedive and the last episodes were utter nonsense with characters acting completely contrary to the rest of the story.
Ep 1-6 were a solid 8, minus the romance section. Ep 7-10 were a 6.
The best part about the movie is the directing. There isn't much plot, it's just 50% death scenes and 50% friendship. It's an oddly cute horror movie if you want something easy to watch. 7/10
Also Maeda looks as gorgeous as always so that's a plus.
The story feels like it'd play out better as an anime. It's a really interesting plot, but 50 min episodes where none of the actors really bring out the suspense aspect, makes a slow watch. I would've loved this as an anime, the only thing I really enjoyed about this was Ryusei because he is amazing as a subtle actor. Just watch his eyes and body language, the man is crazy talented even when the role is on the restrained side.
I saw this the page for it on viki, so I looked it up on mdl. I watched the trailer and was like "Ren?? From Nuest??" Throughout confused as to why this movie was made.
