This could've been a movie. A bad one but at least shorter
This entire show was extremely underwhelming. I gave it a 1 cuz that's the lowest I can give.
Script:
•I'll start with what was the worst part for me. The lines didn't sound like how normal ppl talk. It just didn't sound correct. I had to check if the script writer was Japanese cuz it felt super unnatural.
•Fire scene: I didn't care for Ryu enough as to be like "No! Don't kill yourself!". There was no foundation for that scene or character. I couldn't care less. We didn't see him being loved and cared for or caring towards others. He was just a dude within a team. To the point that until the story focused on him, I didn’t even realize he was the main character.
•There's a stupid useless naked scene for no reason whatsoever.
•They should've cut the military scenes. It didn't add anything to the plot and we would've miss seeing Johan and understood Ryu's feelings better. At least if we got to like Johan which I feel like we didn't really.
The characters don't have a character. That's how I can explain this entire mess in a sentence
•Arata saying he was prepared for the response was such a stupid line. He can say he thought he was prepared but prepared? How was he prepared? He tried to kill himself cuz he couldn't handle it ffs! Also, that storyline was wrapped up way too quickly, and he was far too casual about it. They’re trying to make it seem realistic, but it doesn’t feel real. In real life, someone in his situation would likely struggle much longer, maybe even attempt again, or blame themselves much more harshly than what was shown. He seemed way too positive for someone who hasn’t mentally recovered and is now also physically unwell.
•Also why tf is everything so random? Like what is the point of this show? Life is shit? Is that what it is?
Acting and directing:
•The characters spoke too slowly throughout the show. So when they actually needed to slow down to convey emotional weight, it didn’t feel meaningful. Also, why does everyone keep repeating the beginnings of their sentences? There’s so much stuttering that it loses its impact instead of adding depth.
•Seiichi and Sumiko have less chemistry than Sumiko and SuA.
It ruins the entire experience of the loss cuz I don't feel like she loved him that much as to not go out and try to meet some friends and a new man.
Editing:
Editing is a mess. Welp... This is 1/3 editing, 1/3 directing, 1/3 script writing. You don't know how much time has passed and you get lost.
I’m so frustrated that if I don’t stop myself, this review could go on forever about how bad this show is.
Don’t watch it. It’s a waste of time.
