Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san

Joelle Davidovich Pomponette, better known as simply "Pompo," is an extremely talented movie producer, having inherited her grandfather's connections and cinematic eye. Despite her promising outlook, Pompo refuses to produce anything other than trashy B-movies. That is, until she hands her assistant, Gene Fini, a script for an ambitious screenplay about the life of a composer and announces that he has earned his first directorial credit.

Determined to make the film shine, Gene throws himself completely into his work. However, with an overwhelming workload and a deadline only days away, the aspiring director struggles with what must be sacrificed in the name of creation.

This movie was just straight up dopamine. The pacing makes every scene go by at just the right speed, the soundtrack makes the moments emotional and exciting, the transitions are some of the most creative cuts I have ever seen, and the side characters steal the show everytime they are on screen. This movie is just 90 minutes long, and is the perfect film to watch on a rainy day where it seems like time slows to a standstill. It's a movie about making movies, and it did not disappoint!

Made by the same studio who brought summer tunnel: the exit of goodbyes.

Mixed Feelings

Eiga Daisuki Ponpon-san does not belittle hard work as some shows do. There are makes valid arguments as to why the main characters is qualified to occupy his position, and he works hard to get there.

The movie also doesn't shy away from subtly exposing Hollywood flaws. (While simultaneously being blind to others) The art direction and transitions are fantastic.

This is where the benefits of the show start to run short. Many characters are forced into pointlessness due to clumsy introduction and follow through, and this problem inflates and affects the main beats of the story itself. These flaws are not egregious but make the show ... is disorganized and directionless, which is painfully ironic for a show about a new movie director.

Story 5, Art 8, Sound 7, Character 5, Enjoyment 6.

I don't wanna sound rude, but this film is exactly the same quality as Pompo's films lol

It feels like the entire movie was made for portraying an irony

The story is so shallow, the characters are so bland even the Pompo herself, and i couldn't find what's so interesting about this movie other than the visualization, just like Pompo's films.

Visual wise, they're good but not that great, the animation, the design, and the colors in this movie. I really love the transitions they use. I love how they try to put movie-like effects in an animation which is kinda tricky, but they made it work.
That makes ... me think, maybe this movie is just an experiment project. But Clap makes great animation, so if this being an experiment project, it's very underwhelming compared to other Clap's anime. It's like this anime was a task for their interns lol

I only recommend this to people who watch anime for finding a desktop wallpaper.
