| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The worst nightmare for this movie. I love the DQ video game and the 5 got one of best story so far, but when you want make a movie with everything in less than 2 hours, it is impossible. The game take at least 40 hours to finish. So the relationships between characters are nonexistent since we don't have time to introduce us, especially with the father. |
| well i was about to say that the story was one hell of a rushed mess, but taking in consideration that ending, it makes sense. the ending especially gave me some dementia vibes up until the moment the protag decided to stay in that world, the creators basically saying "consume more, trade your life for our product". making this whole movie like one big commercial for DQ V one of the funniest takes on consumerism i've seen in anime, i must admit other than that, the animation was solid and filled with lively reactions, backgrounds and visual effects |

| Realy? Not for japanese people. There were many dissatisfied when they knew that the chara-desygn will not be that of Toriyama. People in Japan are already addicted to DQ and I can understand now their discontent. If you haven't played DQV, it's not worth watching the movie. No i would say don't watch the movie |
| I really enjoyed the movie and found some moments quite funny. The pacing did seem off, but the ending explained that quite well. It's probably the first time I've seen fast pacing used as part of the plot. The ending was very different, I liked it and personally my interpretation isn't quite as cynical. As a big fan of RPGs including a few DQ I like the message it gave, that the stories within the games can be loved, be a part of you and it's not a bad thing. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| lol that ending made me laugh my ass off. now i know why jpn hated it so much |
 |
| I guess I'm the only one who liked the ending |

Very excellent. I knew what the twist was going in, I've known for months, but now knowing the context of the twist and the message it presents, I absolutely adore it. It made me go "AWWWWWWWWWWWW" out loud. I don't understand why people hate on it. It's foreshadowed many times throughout the film. |

| Actually enjoyed it. Coming from a fan who plays every Dragon Quest games |
| I loved this! The animation, the action, the OST on point... But then came that twist in the end, and honestly I feel kind of conflicted. For a moment there I thought that the virus was going to prevail together with the message that "games are for losers, grow up." Thankfully it didn't. I mean, it's a movie of a game after all. To open up a bit, games are my favorite form of escapism/entertainment and, coincidentally, I finished another JRPG just yesterday. It might be fiction, but the emotions I felt were real. I laughed and cried with it, and it's hard to describe the fulfillment I felt after completing it. Those characters, their struggles, feelings and triumphs are going to stay with me. So I guess I'm thankful for the protagonist, since he felt pretty much the same and wasn't "punished" for it. It was somehow touching, but I don't know, it still ruined my immersion to a point. It was a bold twist that I didn't see coming though. I will give you that. |

| Fucking everything is Isekai nowday. |
I took this screencap of the Slime thinking it was funny. Now it's my overall experience with this movie. |
| This movie is a complete mess and a big insult! The game has enough content for 3 movies/ovas (1 per each phase of the protagonist's life) but they decided to squeeze it in a single movie and in a pretty bad way: - 2/3s of the kid's arc is told in first 3 minutes using game screenshots! (I came to watch a movie, not to read the whole TV) - The last 1/3 was rushed in 7 minutes with the dead of the father's protagonist in a tasteless way! This scene should be full of feelings, not a "oh ok" moment. - Damn that is 10 minutes for a whole arc!! Not even time to introduce the towns/cities!! Or at least give a small 3D scene with kid Bianca for the next arc. - Without the kid's arc developed, it felt all the marriage part out of place (and again tasteless) because is a decision between two characters with zero story/character-development! - Disney can do good/great love stories with same -or even less- amount of time! At the beginning of the third arc I was already wishing for this movie to be over... dead_inside.png The only things that I enjoyed where the music, that small segment where the protagonist was on his way to Mostroferrato and the final battle against the virus (that was pretty clever and unexpected but that scene alone doesn't save the whole movie). This is a big shame because this is my second favorite Dragon Quest game and the movie would attract people to play the game (since it is in the playstore the DS version to play it in your mobile). |
DancingTheBa said: RegalTheReaL said: I guess I'm the only one who liked the ending I personally thought the ending was pretty dope, definitely boosted my opinion of the movie a bunch. Totally agree. For me the movie is a 5-6, tho I rated it with 6, because its fine, im happy to have the world of DQ here, and my opinion got better for the ending. But it could be much better, and it deserves a new TV anime. In this movie, what I liked most was the music and having the world of QD. I didnt like too much the animation style, and the plot is very average, very predictable, easy. Thats why I liked the ending, because it is more mature intended and gives some deep to reflect, a little bit late. I prefer a more anime style rather than a "disney" style, talking about the animation. |

| I always thought it would be a daughter |
 |
| It is ok. I say Ni no Kuni movie is better out of the two |
| They really crammed a lot into one movie for sure and I understand the hate, but it was a nice watch. The visuals were great in 4k. |
 |
| Just finished it. As a long time DQ fan I loved it even despite that ending. I honestly just respect that they had the balls to even do something like that. |
| im an anime only i never played the game but it was very enjoyable the visuals are great like the facial expressions are so lively for a 3D animation and wow Bianca is beautiful and the story lol its all just a video game after all is so cliche but its great for me the message of the story is great too lol video games are not worthless or for losers since the emotions and experiences you get are all real escapism done right lol |
| i really can't understand why so many people hate the ending twist, i found it really good (maybe a little weird), but if it wasn't for that the movie just would be a condensed and rushed adaptation of one of the best DQ games, and i think that would be worst |
  |
| The movie was mediocre plotwise, until the genius plot twist, which redemeed the movie for me and I ended up liking it. If only the rest of the movie had some good characters and developments, good arguments, and less idiot or unnecessary explanation/exposition I would have 100% loved it. |
| They legit took one of the best DQ stories and butchered it. I was so disappointed especially with that hamfisted isekai ending. |
| This movie was fun. Nostalgic to see the characters come to life in this movie. Its cute how Gootrude followed the hero the whole movie and has a role! Learning that Dr. Argon was a Dragon also hilarious. Art of Bianca reminds me of Disney movies. Did not enjoy the ending sadly. |

| didn’t really like it until the ending, it was so absurd and out of nowhere it made me like it a bit |
| This was surprisingly decent. the artstyle made me think this was going to be a generic childish movie, but the movie kept subverting my expectations. first when the mc grows up quick, then when the romance and marriage stuff got done with in the middle of the movie (these usually keep dragging out until the ending and sometimes never resolved), and finally with the ending twist. It was a good experience. |
| The movie isn't bad. It's actually quite enjoyable but feels very rushed. The story should have been split into at least 2 or even 3 movies (one for every stage in lucas life). As someone who didnt play the game i barely got to know any of these characters except for luca, and the whole time travel quest felt a little unnecessary. Maybe the budget, time and ressources wasnt there for more than one movie? My biggest issue however was the ending. What could have been a simple fantasy film was somehow turned into another isekai in the worst way possible. |
