Saint☆Oniisan the Movie: Holy Men vs Akuma Gundan (2024)

Lets make a (Sentai) Gundam show..?

I will be the first to admit I wanted to see this for only ONE actor, Fujiwara Tatsuya. Matsuyama Kenichi is a close second, and one of the main cast.

This has a lot of humor and silliness I expect from Matsuyama (maybe more of his older films…?) so I knew it was going to end up with some crazy scenes- and it did. It had some moments that I found cute or amusing, but most of it was a struggle for me to watch (I am still learning Japanese, and it has no subs as far as I know)

I will just say if you want to see this movie for the same reason as I did (Fujiwara) you might be disappointed. He is in it, he does steal the whole show, but he's not in it enough to truly save the movie (but he is the reason I will be rewatching that scene over and over)

I would say if you are a fan of the manga, live action show, or anime and just want more from the series this might be for you but for those that never watched or read it (like me) it's really going to confuse you.

I was able to watch this on iTunes Japan for those that are curious on where to get it. Again, it's not bad, if it had subs and/or I could understand it better I would find it more enjoyable but even as it is... Fujiwara really did steal the show (movie? Gundam?)
