LORD HAVE MERCY.

Girl what the hell. One part of my brain is absolutely hating this, but the other part is thinking "I have seen worse" trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. But I am NOT gonna give it to it!

First of all, I wasn't originally a fan of the anime and manga due the sexual assault situation, but I do admit that there were things about the anime that I really liked how they were portrayed. This movie destroyed ALL OF IT and I was left quite disappointed and upset.

My favorite part about the anime was the commercial. I loved the drama, I loved the momentum, I loved the expectation, and I loved the magic of it all. I still remember clearly Izumi bursting through the chapel's doors to meet his groom; It was such a shoujo manga worthy scene that truly made it a highlight of the anime for me. Well, bitch, that was not the case here. Every single thing about this movie was so shallow and empty of all types of emotion. It was truly a disappointment.

We were quickly glossing over "important" moments from the story, leaving with little to no time to grow fond of any of the characters or scenes.

The acting was questionable. And I'm being nice here, okay? To be honest, I have seen way worse. Japan has a weird way of making comedy series and the acting has always been quite cringey on those that seem to be based off of manga. The acting on this one seems to be on the better side, in my opinion. Still messy as fuck, not gonna lie, but better. I did find it a little more natural while in other live actions it usually looks like that lady from Avatar the Last Airbender that always goes "there is no war in Ba Sing Se" with the creepy dead smile.

The pacing was pretty bad too, like, they cut so much out from the story that everything feels like it happens in the span of two days.

Sis, this show has everything: terrible cast, terrible editing, terrible acting, questionable fashion choices, lack of emotion, sexual assault, and so much more for your displeasure. I do not recommend watching this, and I also don't recommend watching the anime due to attempts of sexual assault and actual sexual assault... well, maybe watch the first couple of episodes just for the commercial. The only thing that I liked.
