This is the most BL movie of all BL movies. I went through so many emotions watching this. Yes, it is absolutely horrible. Yes, the animation is bad. Yes, the plotline makes no sense; not once did I was able to predict what happened next. Everything that happened after one another felt like a fever dream. But is it the best thing I've seen all week. It's on the level of "its so bad it's good" quality. This is a great movie to watch if you don't want to think and have a good laugh with some friends.

The soundtrack is 10/10. Its a bop. ... Everything else is dogshi

If you want to experience a series/movie about pausing time, skip over this one. This if over an hour long of nothingness. Any other series you watch about time will be 100 times better than this.

The animation put me off at first, but I can look past poor animation if there's good plot. The problem with this is that the plot isn't really there. It's the most bare-bone plot line there is. The characters aren't memorable, so it makes all the little jankines of the animation shine like crazy. There's so much little movements that's not necessary and I keep staring them down. I ... think its from how the CGI is when they made the movie, but its jarring and feels TOO expressive (even with how little emotions the faces show)

The ending doesn't answer a lot of questions either. They leave it kind of open for interpretation but I think that's more of a cop out.

It gets a 4 because an attempt was made. There were people behind the scenes that probably cared about this project, but clearly not enough for something like this.

I came into this anime with some expectations. I wasn't expecting something really good like Haikyuu but for it to be good. A feel good watch after a long day. It did the job but the MC is annoyingly unbearable. The other characters that isn't Kei are great. They're all distinct from each other and are likeable. The MC (Kei) got on my nerves every episode with his attempts at humour and aloof-ness.

The story itself is average. It is your typical small team making it big plot-line every sports anime have. The thing with OB is that it took them about 7-8 episodes before ... Kei regain his memories. It would've been different if he never regained his memory and relearns baseball and got back his passion. But him regaining his memory made the first half of the anime useless. Like I watched them go through all the learning for nothing because he regained it all back.

The art is amazing. It's expected of MAPPA at this point. Intense scenes are paced perfectly and draws you in. It doesn't shy away from extreme points of perspective. But with MAPPA's reputation of overworked employees and tight deadlines, there are a few errors here and there.

This anime is if Bullet Train and the Old West had a child. The only difference is that it has way less gore and not that memorable. In this specific instance, I watched it dubbed. The dubbing isn't great. It falls flat with emotions and accents. The rich girl and southern girl has very stereotypical accents that define their archetype. It takes me out of the emersion sometimes with how poorly the lines were delivered.

The main characters aren't very memorable. The girls are archetypes that's made to interact with each other. Their thought process are pretty simple and do not have a lot of depth ... to their character. This makes it a no-brainer watch. It makes the plot fairly simple to follow and a feel-good movie. It took the characters 2/3rd of the movie for them to introduce themselves to one another. It's long overdue; it should've happen at least 10 minutes into the movie when everyone meets. I am pretty horrible with names, so having characters say each other's names usually helps me. But the characters never really refer to each other by name.

I do enjoy the soundtrack. Each song goes well with the mood it is trying to portray. It has the energy of early 2000s video games (well, the ones I have played). The animation is pretty good to how lesser-known this movie is. There are frames moving every few seconds. Stills don't stay still for long. There's always something happening.

I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this again. But if someone where to put this on as background noise, I wouldn't mind it.

For a RPG adaptation, I usually do not expect much. This is a pretty decent story with good animation and a plot line that is understandable. This is not comparable to good anime like FMA or anything, but it is at the top of my list if I am only judging RPG adaptations.

The story itself is not unique. There's nothing new to the table on what's been done. The thing that makes it stand out is how well it is executed. The plotline has me invested in the characters. The style draws me in, too. Most RPG adaptations I have seen in the past have ... this off-putting feeling about the animation. This one has clean animation with a dark vibe to it. None of the characters or enemies feel out of place. The characters are also well integrated into the painted backgrounds.
