Baban Baban Ban Vampire (2025)

When fantasy meets comedy!

This movie is GREAT.

It's hilarious, touching, funny, aesthetically pleasing, cute and again....very cringy in the bestest way. I loved every seconds of it and it had been a while since I genuinely laughed like that. I'm definitely the target audience to such quirky jpn comedic show (+ it's about vampires and i'm kinda a connoisseur when it comes to that) so babanbabanban vampire is to me, the perfect match between fantastic ghotic horror and comedy.

There is a main plot that starts the entire movie and until the end of it, the goal remains the same. However, the focus isn't really on that aim that much but rather on how to maintain the possibility of it becoming reality and here comes all the horrendous situations, the peak comical misunderstandings, the touching deeper moments, the slice of life, the family, the friends, the past knocking back against the surface. This is the movie, all of these scenes and dialogues and of course, it is SUPER funny and unserious but there are mutliple scenes that hits deeper, that brings up more significant topics whereas it's about the humans or the vampires. In that, there is some sort of balance, like you will be able to catch up some instances that definitely makes the characters way more 4D, although 90% of the movie is still pure good vibes and funny moments. It reminded me of a series I watched in the past named "what we do in the shadows", definitely has the same energy!

It's easy to watch, the acting is superb, also super interesting to learn about the vampire lore they chose or not to use, that was a treat to me hehe. Either way, this film is very good and I highly recommend it if you search for a good easy time. Also, I've got to say, I absolutely LOVED the music bits, like what a way to introduce your character and life in a quirky, fun and memorable manner. I was obsessed with those songs bits ngl.... Genuinely such a nice and unique idea!

Babanbabanban vampire! Go for it 🧛

Comedy Fever Dream

This movie was one of the weirdest experiences I've had in recent years, and the weirdest part of all was that the movie worked. It was funny and touching, despite being absolutely bonkers and way over the top in a way that usually would just annoy me. I guess if you are going to go over the top at all, it's best to commit and go all in.

Without spoiling, I have to give the actors credit. They all nailed the assignment and were fully committed to their insane roles. One hundred percent sincerity. The direction was great too. It all worked together amazingly well. I can tell I'm going to rewatch this whenever I need a laugh. What a great comedy for the week before Halloween, though!
