WOW!! This drama really took me by surprise. I started this without much expectation and then ended up binge watching in one sitting. Awesome drama from start to end; tho I do wish it had more eps. Personally I totally love it and rate it 10/10.
Tbh I started watching this becuz of the cast, but now I'm really enjoying this. The pacing is a little slow at first. But then the chemistry between chrs slowly and steadily improved as each ep went by, much like in real life, and also the growth of chrs is nice to watch.
Damn! This drama is such an intense and enjoyable ride. So far every eps is so thrilling to watch that there's almost no time for a break, both for MER team and also for audience.
Honestly this is a mess. It's like they're trying to do too much in one film, and then ended up failing to properly execute them. The ending feels like somewhat stupid and anticlimatic since the build up is not strong enough and the plot seems scattered all over.
Tbh I like this film more than the trilogy and the final. May be becuz this arc is my fav arc;it's same case also in anime. I think they've done well. Not to mention satoh takeru is absolute perfection as kenshin like always and arimura kasumi as tomoe is nice choice. This film doesn't have a particular villain or super cool one-on-one fight scenes like other movies since it explores more abt kenshin as a person and his relationship with tomoe, and that's exactly why I love this film over others.
