I think the movie would have been better if the director filmed the facial expressions of the characters closely throughout the film instead of keeping us at a distant shot of their surroundings. It made for an opportunity to connect with the characters, witness their chemistry and personal development, lost in distracting locations. All you hear is script-reading at critical moments.
This is one of those rare dramas that are so good even after a thorough second watch and still, it leaves you wondering what else to watch that is remotely similar. As a rookie fiction writer, I say the storytelling is excellent—in theme, character development, and plot. The pacing and presentation are excellent. The whole cast is on another level as everyone breathes life into their characters. I almost don't know what to do with my life after this. At some point, I'll come back to watch it again, but nevertheless, I anticipate any future projects from all the cast members. (10/10)
She is so diverse in her acting! She goes from a dense, unpopular idol in "Mr. Nietzsche in the Convenience Store" to an extreme otaku with a gruff voice in "KurageHime". Absolutely love her.
Nope, my mother (who I'm watching it with) and I are finding it the same way. I'm liking the majority of it, but…
After reading your comment, I realize I do favor faster plots and more consistent dialogue that shows more interaction and conflict between the characters. Thank you for relating with me. :)
May I ask, is this show boring to anyone? Even in the first episode I have paused it so many times and put it off for days, doubting I would even get back to it... I'm not sure if it will be worth picking back up.
