Apple juice looks different depending on where you are in the world. In Asia it mostly looks the way it looks in the drama (at least in Korea/Japan). In Europe it's more brown/dark orange-ish and see through.
In some weird twist, he could be both. Student of his father who somehow got to know mom and got close to her,…
Definitely, but I also feel this is a series where anything is possible at this point so I'd not even be surprised if they'd go there 😂 they most likely will have a more tame explanation though, we'll have to wait and see.
i think kurokawa is misunderstanding and maybe the chairman is his father's student? rather than his father himself.…
In some weird twist, he could be both. Student of his father who somehow got to know mom and got close to her, then mom got pregnant and when teacher husband finds out the kid is not his, he just tries to get himself + baby killed in a "mom doesn't deserve shit" moment.
Also yes, I've watched too many drama/mystery shows, but this could be a farfetched storyline if they'd want it to be 😂
I haven't seen the anime but I really LOVED the first episode of this
The movie is suppose to be a recut of the first three episodes of the drama (+some extra scenes) as far as I'm aware from Japanese articles once it was announced.
I notice a lot of people saying Nagata just went on with his life without any form of regret but honestly, as far as I can see the whole fact he gave their story a different ending in his theater run shows his regret and was a way to show how he knows it was all wrong and she deserved more. It was his way of showing remorse. (too late, of course, but it is there)
The character was very self-aware from start to finish, and definitely did loads of things wrong, but things aren't black and white irl. It's obvious he was stuck in a heavy twisted regret with no real way out for him. She also clearly hoped it would all change as long as she'd go about it lightly, and kept up appearances it was all alright because of her hope of it all being perfect eventually as society expects from people their age.
What I also noticed was how little Nagata apologized, but when you think about it, it all makes perfect sense. He, at the start, said something to the likes of "if a sorry would negate everything that came before, I could tell you the worst stuff and then say sorry afterwards and you'd not be able to be angry with me". He doesn't apologize because he knows it's not enough.
None of this negates the fact that he was an asshole to her a lot of times, but it gives you insight in how he isn't inherently bad either. People aren't black and white, and are often stuck in their thoughts unable to really explain, likely because they don't fully get it themselves. Him being self-aware is a great point of that, but him continuously derailing also shows that strong emotions can pull you any side whether you want them to or not.
It was a theater show start to finish. From keeping up appearances - acting/faking that all is fine, to struggling through the reality, and eventually the realization of it all. It's the theater of life.
It had been a while since I'd watched anything with this much of an indie vibe - it's really one of those raw, slow festival films - so I needed a moment to get into it. Ended up really enjoying it! The directing, acting, it all fell right into place. Both Kaneko Daichi and Ishikawa Ruka put on a great performance as leads. Took me a bit to recognize Yanagi Shuntaro since I'd completely forgotten he was going to be in it.
In general the movie revolves around "lies", with a variety of storylines coming together, as well as some raw performances of our lead duo.
I'd definitely watch it again, but I'd not recommend if you can't handle a regular slow indie though!
It's an amusing watch, if anything, but I can not for the life of me comprehend why the musical bits were in it. They pulled apart the flow and made what little story made it into the movie even less than it could have been. Wotakoi is better than this.
I kind of feel like the idea behind this adaptation was "well, it's about otaku so let's show the weird stuff well" while there was no need to overdo it (the musical parts didn't feel like they added anything + I'm not sure Kaku Kento's new LA only character was really needed.)
Characterwise, Kento and Mitsuki were perfect fits. Really enjoyed both of them. Nanao as well, though she didn't even appear enough to be called a sub-character. Saito Takumi as Kabakura remains the biggest casting mistake I've seen in a while though :/

Ryu Deokhwan does appear in Brown Eyed Girls' Sign MV though!
Personally also enjoyed it though I can understand it's not everyone's fave type of thing.
