This movie was a very enjoyable watch, though it comes with a few (but important problems). The world building was spectacular, but the character relationships were lacking.
Story: 7/10
The premise of the story was simple and easy to follow. Though the idea of a misunderstood and feared species is not exactly original. The story is character driven and focuses on romance. The romance was somewhat forced and there were little to no relationship development between the main characters. The ending may seem abrupt (though to me it was okay). The story of about the "fuse" was nice, nothing new, but I liked it.
Art: 10/10
The art was
...
easily the best part of the movie. Scenes felt very lively and the backgrounds very beautiful. The colours were vibrant and the style matched the atmosphere and music. The animation was also smooth and beautiful. The world building was also great. Honestly, my words could not do the movie justice.
Sound: 9/10
The music was memorable and fit the atmosphere of the loud and lively Sengoku period. The voices fit the characters very well. (I watched the Sub)
Character: 8/10
There were many great characters. The main characters were great. The female lead as very cute but could fight. The male lead's character was very realistic. His moral dilemma felt real and emotional.
The other characters had their own charm. The fuses also had good backstories, though some needed more development. I just wish that the romance between the leads was developed more.
Overall: 7.8/10
I wish I could give this movie a higher rating. The movie had great world building the story holds promise, but It was greatly lacking in character development that made me feel for the two main characters. I was somewhat invested in the romance, but it didn't quite hit the mark
If lack of character development bothers you, then this movie isn't for you. But If you want some eye candy and want to watch a beautiful movie, this movie is perfect. It's an enjoyable watch and I would recommend it for the art and atmosphere alone.
