Nice movie. I think I just expected something more? The title was just so interesting I felt it was going to be more than a youth romance story, but it was that.
Not a bad movie at all, but don't expect something "new". The acting is really the highlight of the movie, though.
(I only decided to go watch it after seeing the cast, the poster and the title, with no other information, now that I watch the trailer, it was obviously going to be a full romance XD)
It was surprisingly really fun? I was excepting the basic high school romance movie, with its cute moments, way too dramatic third part, and nonexistent secondary characters, but it was not.
It doesn't reinvent the genre or anything, it was just a really good-quality high-school romance. And it's an original story, so it does not feel rushed, and everything/everybody that gets introduced actually gets a spotlight and a conclusion.
I saw it was almost 2 hours only when we were in the theater, and I remember thinking "oh no... it's gonna be long", but no, it was fun until the end and passed fast.
Nogi Yusuke graduated from Colombia University and works at a Japanese company as a lower level manager?
In the first part of the first episode, it was already said he was pretty much bad at his job. (+ plus it's a very very big company, not just a random one)
Wait... Sagara? Did I miss something that makes it a certain theory? I do agree that it feels like it. Like he…
Watched it. Tbh, I don't think she's really a time traveller. I think it's just to trick us.
They'll make us believe she's a time traveller, then we'll learn that she is not and BAM reveal of the real time traveler.
Or something like that.
I think the kids just heard about her discussion with the singer student about the festival that would be cancelled because of an "incident". So they just deducted that the incident must have happened earlier thanks to their time traveler Sensei.

Definitely Okudaira Daiken. What is the point of having him in a drama if not for an important role.
He seems obsessed with "not being bored", so maybe he felt like she was at fault for him having a boring school life in the last timeline ? 🤣
Sagara also never said anything to him since he joined the group. He called the other traitors, menaced some of being the future victims, or smithing like that but we never see him do or say anything to Okudaira's character so maybe they're closer than what is presented ?
Natsuki Amakusa (Takahisa Masuda), an overconfident genius detective with extraordinary deduction skills, meets Yuya Shiki (Hiki Ukisho), a cool high school student who guessed the culprit at the scene of a suspected suicide. Yuuya possesses a special talent that allows him to see the shadows of murderers.
And drag his plot like they did with daiji in revice? thank god noAlso keiwa has been on breaking point since…
The thing is that it should have been a "cool" and "dark" arc for Keiwa but because he's being so obviously manipulated; it's not fun (to me, of course).
Because I'm usually easily entertained with KR, I don't care about plot holes or logic if at least it's fun. Michinaga was as unlogical as him in his motivations, but the reason it was kind of fun to watch for me is that he was still his own person, sometimes screwing Beroda's plan when he didn't like what she was acting. He was "cool" because he knew he was the bad guy but did it anyway because of his wish. Keiwa, though, is just following advice/orders, gets betrayed, takes advice/orders from the same guys who betrayed him, gets betrayed again, etc... It's so not in phase with the "cool" image that the show is trying to give us by giving him dark clothes and hair and Kaneki Ken finger cracks.
Keiwa is having the typical edge lord storyline with lots of egde and no lord. Maybe edge servant.
Other thing: I agree that it didn't come from nowhere. Though I do think that it's a mystery why, when Keiwa heard about the Goddess's secret; he didn't go directly to Ace and questioned him. Ace & Keiwa haven't had a single conversation since 15 episodes ago... Even though Keiwa should have like 100 questions for him? It's exactly like you said, he was isolated, but THAT felt so out of place. Like seriously? They were partners, the guy betrayed him, manipulated him and they go over their differences to become friends for Keiwa to just suddenly stop talking to him because he learns that the thing that the GDP uses to modify reality is in fact Ace's not conscious mother? We still haven't had a single scene of someone explaining the situation to Keiwa or him asking question about it so sometimes I even wonder if Keiwa knows everything that happened lol

I liked the first episode! I always enjoy fun dynamics in drama, especially when they decide to not follow the usual "the cold/crazy genius and his useless assistant".
Here, they are friends and partners, and each has their own field of work. Even the secondary female cop (she's like a third lead) is not the usual hardass "I don't trust them, but I always get manipulated into helping/letting them have info". She's strong-headed, but the fact she's treated as a friend as well changes the dynamics. Even if they banter, they are all on the same relationship level, which I like.
The case, though, was a little underwhelming. But that's also because I usually like the "why" better than the "how". And the reason was pretty obvious since the beginning, only the trick was a real mystery. It wasn't that much of a problem, though, as I enjoyed the first episode.

I think Sagara is a time traveler though.
And the boy played by Okudaira Daiken (the one with the camera who wants to do a movie) is the one who killed her.
I do agree that it feels like it. Like he knows that Kujo gets killed and is trying to make her leave.
The second, third, and fourth episodes were really fun. A lot more private, so a lot more powerful.
If you're talking about the RAW, then it has been upload on the internet
Only the first episode was especially long
