Good though frustrating because... FLAT.
I love feudal Japan centered storylines and settings.
The violenceand gore was solid, not overly excessive to the point that it's just hilarious.
Story was pretty basic and straightforward, not amazing since it kinda falls flat it some parts but the action makes up for it a little, it's a movie, here's guessing maybe a filler to the series?

The protagonist was semi decent, somewhat strong and somewhat crafty. The story for the movie rushed him a bit. He did have a few bad-arse moments that did make me crack a smile. So I do like that he has his moments.

Kagero ... had something interesting about her but it's not fully expanded on, understandable since there's only so much one can fit in a movie but, despite the trait being useful maybe twice it's ehhhh, mainly her interactions with the other characters being eh but also rushed.

The antagonists were so limited interaction wise, but again understandable to a degree... The main for the movie was also kinda limited but you're still able to get a general gist of him.

The action scenes and the artstyle were the only commendable things for me.

The last fight was good but the end itself was not satisfying. Maybe watching the series will help? No idea.

A solid movie I'd give a 7, it's good enough. Definitely rewatchable since you can just pickup watching it. However, personally I wouldn't rewatch it and be immersed, maybe background noise if anything...

A warning though, there are instances rape, and nudity so be warned when watching.

Also be careful with the flashing lights.
NOTE: I HAVE NOT WATCHED THE 13 EPISODE SERIES YET. THIS IS BASED OFF MY IMPRESSION OF THE MOVIE ONLY

Studio Ufotable really knocked this season out the park. The animation was IMMACULATE throughout. BUT here's what I didn't like. So much DIALOG that didn't carry much weight and insufficient exposition. It kinda killed my excitement at times. I'm not saying "there should be more fight scenes", no, rather there should just be more action that leads the audience to learn this and that or something more stimulating, do more instead of telling me this and that heavily. Just something, anything that keeps the audience somewhat engaged. Some episodes did feel like they were nothing but dialog heavy for a good ... chunk of the episode, it definitely made focusing hard.


The characters were good, some were definitely attractive * cough cough*

Overall: Good animation, premise was good. However, very dialog heavy not enough exposition

I cried. I knew I would. My friends said I would. My boyfriend (ex) understood why I did. Unless you're extremely particular, not a fan of the main series, or something gosh knows what, I think you won't like this movie like the few who haven't.
Personally, I liked it, the premise isn't an entirely out of left field plot or subplot. I liked how this movie is a small continuation of season 1 but with a lot and a little packed in. I feel like the move to make this story cinematic was the way to go instead of episodic, just because of all ... the action. One could say, however, it is splittable and to which I agree but only when we were focusing on the main character in the movies, then yes. That maybe would have left them to flesh out the story and Rengoku's backstory a bit more. We'll probably know of this in future seasons though, or through the manga of course.
Despite the story being of-- in basic non-spoilery fashion, Demon Slayer but on a train, it was good enough to make me teary-eyed and just cry to the point where I couldn't breathe, har har. It goes to show that even though it could have been pushed further in writing what was given was enough to evoke emotion, that is if you're the type to cry at 2D characters. Or better put fictional characters in general. The demons were interesting but also they made me like "but why though? I understand one but I still wanna know why though".
Would I watch this movie again? Yes but also no, I do love it and it's good in my opinion,

**This entire thing is but an opinion**

however, I'm not emotionally strong enough to watch it again anytime soon, lest I need a good cry or dull the impression I recently have on it, since I've been avoiding this movie since april and all the spoilers too. I am glad I finally got around to it though. It's a very good movie at least in my book.

This season was fine •_•
I did like the first season better. I also wish we had more of inkling as to the killer so we could have deduced it ourselves. Season 1 obviously didn't give us that, it just gave us a very very vague premise at the end, but I digress. Season 2 was fine, definitely rainy day binge type of anime overall. Don't get me wrong there's definitely some action. Plus more on the carnivore and herbivore dynamic. But it just felt fine at the end. It still evoked emotion here and there but it was fine. I ... liked seeing how they translated shaved Legoshi from the manga to the anime, it was interesting. Also good to see the security guard but I can understand it seems abrupt or rather random and then unsatisfying due to lack of any more appearances. Probably this would have been a better if they had season 2 longer than 12 episodes. Maybe if they had left us on a cliffhanger or something that would arouse curiosity like season 1 did. The ending for season 2 was meh, I wished it was longer. I understand animation is a very demanding business and people worked really hard on it and they're trying to establish their own pacing and breaks. I do appreciate their efforts, I just wished I liked this season a bit more or atleast I wish I was left on a curious/ what happens next kind of note. I'll still watch season 3 if it gets greenlit and possibly review it next year as well.

I really liked this story that's a good example of man vs society. All throughout I thought the dad was an asshole because of his ambitious nature, he was greedy. I pitied his mother, though should have at least tried to do more. Hyakkimaru, someone wronged by the greed of man only to be gaslighted for wanted what was his, wanting to live is just crazy but I kinda liked that they made him kinda an anti-hero. The ending is supposed to be a satisfying close but, I wish knew what happened beyond that. Probably the ... manga would be worth looking into. I feel like this could have been more gore-cenntric if they pushed it. There was character development but it wasn't really impactful or rather you don't really see the change, at least for Hyakkimaru it seems abrupt-ish. His brother atleast his kinda made sense as we saw it take place.
The overall story I liked, character's were good, and their development and violence could have been pushed a bit further. It's definitely worth the watch.

I’ve seen glimpses of the manga on my instagram and that truly caught my eye, so reading it will be my next objective, now that I heard it’s completed.

So based on season 1 **As of July 12, 2021, season 2 is not out**

I like the premise of the beings, the sorcerers and devils and hope there more expanded upon
I like but also hate that most show’s premise is that we know what’s going on but don’t know the full picture, this part I’m okay with, then season 1 ended abruptly, it was jarring to head straight into the ova.
The world building is interesting. I ... was hoping for more gore, it wasn’t as gorey as I hoped, I think I only flinched once.
I do wish at least once plot point was done so the ended would have been a bit more satisfying, heck, maybe ending it earlier where the audience discovers something, something is known “now what” it’s satisfying but also more enticing.
The series gave a me a few chuckles so that’s a plus.

Absolute fever dream focused with a plot about dreams. I really loved how seamless this movie hung from. Reality and dreamscape. I really couldn't tell at times and loved it. I do love Satoshi Kon's work. I will admit I liked Perfect Blue more because it fits more into the horror genre than this. Maybe this is more thriller kinda??? Nevertheless, I do enjoy the premise of it. At one point I was like , " Oops, the thing you created was actually evil..." Paprika is definitely good, it is unfortunate that this was ... Director Satoshi Kon's last film but I am grateful that he was the one who directed it, it's bittersweet. Plus having Madhouse animated this and Perfect Blue is always awesome.

I thought season 2 was good to fine at best. It definitely wasn't as impactful or as great animation wise as season 1 but eh. Saying such, I wish they could bring Madhouse back because that anime for season 1 was beautiful. The ending of this season felt abrupt because they weren't going page by page of the manga which kinda disappointed me. I still managed to laugh a bit but I don't see myself rewatching this season honestly. I did appreciate a the little bit of Saitama the showed but I kinda wish they was more to focus on him. I ... do appreciate that they don't always focus on him to further build the world and show other characters but still.

This movie was pretty good. While it shouldn’t be used as a generalization as to what happens in the idol industry, it does seem
to hold up in some ways. Celebrities like child stars and singers example, do have to portray a certain image and after some time whether it’s not working out or the person wants to spread their wings they must shed that portrayal and the association of it. The movie definitely got that. Another nice thing the movie got was how it paralleled with the subplot movie being shot. The movie also shows how keeping a certain image can be quite damming ... to the actual person, they’re expected to be their “ image persona ” all the time. Fan culture plays a role in this, the movie the fans only wanting their pure precious cutesy girl group idol, regardless of what the main character wanted to do with her career.
It does make me wonder if obsession manifested the image or pressure of the industry did and by having regrets and desires keep things the same... could that have manifested the “image”?

I also liked the movie kinda plays with the mind by making the viewer wonder what actually happened and what did not. It kinda made the movie more artistic by messing with the mind by dancing between the line of the movie’s fantasy and reality. Though because of this, I’m not sure what happened in the end but it does leave interpretation which is somewhat good because the viewer can speculate the answer without being told “ so and so” happened and that’s all.

I watched Mononoke and that is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE anime series. So I was surprised to hear it was actually a spin-off from this series. I was able to fine all the subbed episodes since the dubbed unfortunately didn’t sit well with me.
** I listen to both subbed anime and dubbed depending which sounds better**

So I watched everything with a friend. For the most part we were waiting for the medicine seller. The first story was pretty interesting especially since it is an adaptation of an actual story that even has a wikipedia and other sources. I do know ... a person’s wrath has no bounds. Ep. 1 -4

The second story was okay a bit bittersweet romantic for my taste all that star crossed lovers kinda thing. That was fine though I will admit the demons in the story were interesting I would have loved more lore. Ep. 5-8 I guess to sum it There’s a gaining of humanity but a loss if different ways.

The final story, oh that made me realize why Mononoke came to be the spinoff it came to be. The art style, the mystery, the slight humor, and the medicine vendor, loved it. Just loved it. It really does stand out on it’s own. Honestly, it could have been added to the spin-off or something. Ep. 9-11

I feel like the series as a whole was fine. Though, admittedly I might have had too much hope because, I watched Mononoke first. Probably if I had watched this first I wouldn’t have been a bit let down but I think I’d like Mononoke just the same, maybe I’d be less harsh in reviewing this series, not sure. Though I can truthfully say this isn’t a dire must watch series. Though it’s interesting, especially if you like folklore.
