Yeah the vibe I'm getting from the entire comment is that it's focusing more on Kurosawa's pain while diminishing Adachi's pain. The whole "the great Kurosawa" thing just really pushes and disregards what Adachi has been through. Idk, Kurosawa being perfect and directing all his positive energy to Adachi doesn't really change that Adachi still has his own internal conflicts.

Wait, are you implying Adachi is supposed to ignore (or get over) his issues and just be happy because the great Kurosawa likes him? I'm not getting the last statment saying Adachi needs to get slapped (Ik it's figure of speech) to realize he is the most fortunate person.

Last I heard about Higashide was he got married, that was around 4-ish 5 years ago. But damn, what a disappointment. To look him up now and see this news about affairs and divorces. Just a lot of smh over here. A 3 year affair? That's not even a mistake, that's a commitment.

I don't condone what they did but this always happens. When both does something wrong, it's usually the women that takes the harshest of the consequences. I feel like they're always judged the most in between the two. Shouldn't consequences be spread evenly among both of them? Kinda sad.

I don't usually look up actors/actresses personal life in general, but damn, sometimes it's necessary to do some research. I personally think judgment on an actor's acting ability and his/her personal life should never be mixed, and I don't think their marital status should limit them in their career, but this one hits close to home so it's super uncomfortable to ignore, furthermore if you're gonna continue to act despite already being a husband and father, at least know your place and learn some self awareness. If not then take the break needed. This whole thing just screams stupidity.

So far have only seen 2 of his works and they're both movies.....maybe I'll try to keep that number as low as possible from here on forth.

Kou is one depressing mf though, I gotta say lol this back and forth, I almost couldn't bare it when I watched the first time. Yoshioka really out here curing depression, bless her heart. The fact that she didn't just ditch his butt, that's love right there.

All the friend group are so lovely too. A much lighter version, compared to the manga, imo.

And THANK GOODNESS Narumi came through at the end. I was like this GIRL, your guilt tripping schemes are literally so unhealthy and you'll only end up hurting yourself in the end. Glad she woke up before it got too dangerous.

They skipped the Murao and Tanaka-sensei stuff entirely, wise choice imo. Their little arc is pretty pointless.

Finally, Kikuchi. Sigh. My son, he tried so hard. But he still lost. Some would say he's an opportunist taking advantage of Yoshioka's weakened heart, but I say strike when it's fresh. Let's imagine for a second Kou REALLY didn't like her and Kikuchi didn't attack, she would've been stuck with a unrequited love. Kikichu's attempt to mend her heart by filling in the spot, nice move imo.

Read the manga a while ago, am not even sure how it ended tbh lol. But the ending for the movie was alright. Comes full circle with the sunset thing.

Watched this years ago, back to rewatching cuz I feel like I didn't do this movie justice the first time. I was very young and I cringed at everything (still cringe easily at everything tbh ngl but I know to hold it in now). Now I am back with a new perspective. Imo, it's better to have already read the manga before watching this, because all this movie really does is summarize the manga and it's like a nice little bonus. Watching it alone can be rather tedious and confusing because not only were things moving quickly, but some meaning to particular moments may have been lost. Overall, still a pretty decent watch though. Makes me feel like a freaking high schooler again all giddy and stuff just from them looking at each other.

Forced angst I can see how it can be a turn off. Like who needs useless drama to forward a dragged plot. But with CM it actually makes sense. There's been build up, now we've reached the point of all those build up, the dots connect. Not sure where along the trail did some people lose their way.....

If the ratings goes down just because there was no kiss (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Wow, while I was over at Over Drive crying over Mackenyu and Higashide, and Machida's minor role, what happened here lolol On one hand it's understandable. These conflicts close to the ending don't usually mean well for a good ending seeing as things can seem rushed just to give a good resolution, but ya know what, I have high hopes, because CM has delivered again and again every episode. I'm not gonna stop now. Plus with the special episodes, I'm sure it will all conclude well.

It's Kamen Rider Build lol I think just a lil mix up

The music was great! It really adds to the emotional ride.

The girl agent aspect of the movie. Hmmm. It looked like they were hinting something? Idk, but maybe that's just my own demon. The wiping oil off the cheek, the way she looks at them, I usually interpret them as hints, but of course it can just as likely be interpreted as her being inspired by them. She did have her own little revolution.

I thought Masuda will get a character arc cuz he had so many scenes. But it kind of just fell flat. Not that I mind though, he wasn't that important of a character to begin with, just some dude with a dream. Though it looks like he finally came to term with being a mechanic, rather than design.

Naozumi and Atsuhiro's growth *chef's kiss*. The emotions, I felt it.

"I'll fix it right up," BIH i'm an emotional mess, I'm sorry! They use that phrase multiple times and it really complements their trust and relationship, not with just each other but with the rest of the crew too.

Really love the brotherhood. I'm such a sucker for good developed broship. Family love is love bih, it's LOVE.

Really like that Akira was a good sport. When they pulled the car out and fixed it, the dude was happy for them, despite knowing he's most likely gonna lose the race. For sure thought they were gonna write him off as those a-holes that act nice on the surface only. Thank goodness he wasn't.

MACKENYUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Machida!!!!!!

See ya! Gn

Notice how very few (Maybe none? I haven't spotted anyone yet) changed their profile gif/pic to the recent episode. Are people waiting for HD quaility or y'all too devastated to be reminded what happened this episode? lmao I'm the latter. There were some cute moments but ehhhhh I'll hold off on the profile change....(￣∇￣")

It's cute. Adachi is literally struggling to keep his head on Kurosawa's shoulder. He looks so smol and confused.

Yeah....I shouldn't have gone over to CM twitter. That was a big mistake. Edit: it's like depression over there.
Ah but spoiler ep 11
