What I liked about this movie : Their friendship felt so genuine. The scene where everyone told Kakeru he didn’t have to carry the burden alone — and he finally let go — was so powerful, like a weight had truly been lifted off his shoulders. I think Kakeru’s character, with his family background and childhood trauma, was a broken soul. They’ll probably still face struggles, but what matters is that they gave him hope to live again. The film beautifully shows how important it is to pay more attention to the people around us.
What I didn’t like: I couldn’t quite connect with the main female lead; she felt a bit too slow-paced. Once she realized everything written in the letter was coming true, she could’ve reacted faster or with more urgency. Honestly, Suwa had a stronger impact on the story than she did. Also, regarding Kakeru’s family — his father’s abuse and his loneliness in Tokyo — I wish the movie had explained those parts earlier. It would’ve helped me understand his behavior and pain sooner.
I just finished it, and honestly, I still like the movie way more than this. I'm definitely looking forward to the next part though. I originally started it for Kento, but Ogata totally became my favorite character 😍❤️🔥. And after he teamed up with Sugimoto’s group, I really started enjoying their whole vibe together. But yeah… I still couldn’t get into the random, over-the-top comedy they kept throwing in.Every time it switched to that cringy comedy stuff, it was a total turn-off for me. Overall, I’d give it 7/10
I’ve watched up to episode five, and honestly, so far I liked the movie more. The movie was more exciting and had well-placed comedy, but the series feels like just a drama with annoying humor. I didn’t like episodes one and two at all, and I even thought about dropping it. Episodes three and four managed to bring back some of that earlier excitement, but episode five was off again, so mehh.... I don’t have a problem with mixing comedy into a series, but the kind of comedy they’re doing just isn’t funny. I also don’t get why the show keeps insisting on showing disgusting food in detail and zooming in on it—it just doesn’t make sense to me. anyway i continue it for kento
To be honest, I think the series started out great, but the closer I got to the end, the less interested I became. There was something off about the storytelling and script that made it hard to stay engaged. For example, in one episode they’d say a certain samurai had been killed and that they were sure to be attacked next — then in the following episode, that plot point was just forgotten and no attack ever happened. The reason behind the war never clicked for me as a viewer from the start. On top of that, the English man is portrayed in a very positive light about his country, even though England was one of the greatest colonial empires in history... and What was the point of adding a romance subplot between him and a married woman on top of all that? Still, the series was very well-made.
