My favorite part from the whole movie is in the last dialogs between Anri (Sugisaki Hana) and Satoshi (Takasugi Mahiro). To me "that suggestion" by Anri is the strongest part of the whole writings and because of that i rate it 8/10
Caution: This movie is dialogs heavy! So it might not suit everyone...but as I watched it with a relatively good subtitle, i can say that it's not as bad as what some of the reviews were telling...although it's not psychological and the message is rather straight forward, the characters interactions are the highlight of this movie...i think this is the type of movie that is more suitable to watch alone at home at night than in theater with someone
Not a bad drama, but definitely not for me. The slice of life feel was just right with spot on instrumental background musics used for opening and as insert song. However I think this type of story would resonate more on female viewers than it would for a guy. A bit boring at the beginning when the focus was only on "physical relationship" but the drama picked up after episode 4 or 5 when more stories from surrounding people got involved in the plot.
As like with most jdramas, you can't judge by reading the synopses. This one has a MEH synopsis, but they execute the story well with realistic characters. You will get POV from different levels of people, idols, otakus, normal person...so it's easy to relate no matter if you're into "that" culture or not.
And then during the first few episodes, they experimented with all type of cameras they could have from gopro to 360 to the handheld camera...LOL...this created a unique vibe and while viewers were wondering on the genre or story direction they would already hooked into the drama without realizing it.
As a non-otaku, i leaned many things from this drama. Highly recommended! 8.5/10
Yeayy...finally finished! But to be honest the only drive to watch the episodes in this season is curiosity to know the culprit...feel a bit less impactful (and draggy at some places) than the 1st season IMO....still a good drama to watch though! 8.5/10
Not so bad if you love business theme especially Ikeido Jun's. The sport tag might mislead people into thinking the usual sport drama, but this show is something else as the story is told from the management (not team manager/coach) point of view. So less sport heartwarming stuffs here, but more into harsh reality and a bit of business politics.
But the subtitle is not the best....if you're not familiar with basic Japanese sentence, you might get lost in translation...haha...however I must say I'm thankful to the subber because without him/her I wouldn't be able to watch this.
In a good movie, you're technically not supposed to notice these things consciously, but subconsciously. They…
Never have the opportunity yet (read: no budget LoL)....The temperature is usually around 30-35 celcius here...but could raise to 38-40 in some areas during elnino. I guess it's still an okay temperature...but with global warming it's a bit hot at night.

Sorry for the late reply...i have received the notification mail but couldn't find free time to logon to MDL... To answer your question, I live in Malaysia, so it's summer throughout the year.. xD

Okay nice to know that..i will still watch it nonetheless!
On a slightly off-topic note: It's not that I watch many movies, but I observed some J directors like to use that when there are time skips in the story...yes just like you said, if the present time is summer..then you'll have a quick frame transition of autumn, snows then the sakura bloom...to indicate a year has passed (example jmovie "sweet bean")...this is sometimes happening very quickly so for a person who are not living in 4 seasons area, it's a bit hard to get the feeling of time passes...it's like my mind understand but takes a while to digest it...LOL...i haven't seen this style in hollywood or even korean though...

Thanks for the explanations!
About the movie, I will put it on my PTW now (no more in mind)...haha....
Actually I prefer if it could be longer like drama though than 3 movies....as with japanese style, their film tend to time-skipped with very hard to notice ques like seasonal change and summer clothing (as i don't experience the 4 seasons my self)
Non usual topic but very informative....I am the type who don't usually notice on these things as long as I could impressed with the writing/plot....so it's nice to learn about new stuffs and thank you for writing the article!
On a different note, I haven't yet watch any of the kenshin movies. It's always on my imaginary PTW list, but in the end I always prioritize to watch dramas...lol (which is what usually happened to me when I want to watch any movies, west and asian)
The effort for making this drama is deserving some compliments. But with 1 hour plus duration, nothing much could be squeezed in.
Overall it feels more of a tribute than a solid drama. The writer chose to sensationalized the meeting between Matsuura and Ainu's woman, Rise and therefore lose the focus on the exploration (adventure and discoveries) part of the story.
At the end of the drama, there is a quick history facts trivia (like NHK taiga drama) where you would see the actual books written by Matsuura as well as the unpublished/banned title(s). Unfortunately there's no subtitle for that...haha!
Overall a good watch but don't expect anything amazing either. If you're a fan of Sawamura Ikki or Takimoto Miori or both, this drama will not disappoint you! 8/10
