What the fuck did I just watch?
The Good:
The only redeeming qualities from this was the amazing art by MAPPA and the insert songs which is the only reason its not a 1. In my opinion I feel like this movie was just a side project for the animators to flex their skills and they just decided to tack on a story afterwards as a passing thought.
The Bad:
I think I got an aneurysm trying to understand the plot, this was more confusing then the last season of Attack on titan. The movie just tries to introduce way too many plot points, and there are also gaping
...
plot holes i.e where the town is getting food and gasoline when they are in an isolated bubble which was never explained in the movie mind you. All the relationships feel so forced and go through more fluctuation in the period of 2 hours then the amount of times I said "what the fuck is happening?" while watching this movie (I said it a lot). The characters are so bland and the father of the MC and his brother are basically indistinguishable as characters as well as most of the posse around the MC with the generic comedic relief and the serious guy as well as the annoying girls who hate being with "the boys" but still stick around them?
The Ugly:
Overall the plot is just so convoluted in a way that it just feels tacked together. The pacing is way off too, it is way too fast in the beginning and doesn't take time to explain anything and the ending feels slow. They try to pass on some generic "life is beautiful because you get hurt" and "our good and bad emotions should be embraced and accepted thing" but the only execution is just so horrible and again feels very forced. I was actually hyped for this when I saw the trailer and the amazing art but boy was this a let down, they managed to fumble such an amazing premise and world building and do absolutely fuck all with it.To preface I love shows where they don't tell you everything and are a little confusing such as Evangelion and Sonny Boy but this show was just on another level of stupidity. Complete waste of 2 hours I'm never getting back do not watch if you value your time!
