Apart from one side actor’s over-acting, I think the movie was pretty good.
It was a pleasant movie that probably won’t take you for an emotional roller coaster ride, but was still interesting.
The artwork was all very pretty and the movie does a good job of making you interested in suibokuga and appreciating the art form.

Gold Kingdom and Water Kingdom, 2022 – ★★½
For most of the movie, I kept thinking, “This would have been better as a TV series.”
I felt like the relationship between the two leads would have benefitted from more screen time. Also, the scope of the story could have been much larger and deeper.
As it is, I felt like the story was too rushed and the resolution a little too simple.
Now, I went into this movie knowing nothing about the background of the story. I didn’t know this was originally a manga series.
Therefore, my opinion above is as a person who is coming to the movie new, and not as an existing fan of the IP. I also could not comment on whether the movie accurately represented the original material.
Mondays: See You ‘This’ Week!, 2022 – ★★★½
A funny movie that depicts the slog of office life in a humorous way.
Who hasn’t felt the work week seems to go on forever?
This is like Groundhog Day, except the loop lasts for a week, and more and more of the office workers are noticing the repeat.
It’s not all just silly antics though; at its core there’s a tender message.
This is well worth a watch.
Blue Beetle, 2023 – ★
This was so bad… the plot is so dated. It would have been considered dated 10 years ago, much less now.
I got free tickets to see it and I felt like it was a waste of time. I wouldn’t recommend anyone pay to see this.
