i don't remember how i found this movie but i quite enjoyed it. don't believe the 'horror' in the genres, there's nothing horror about it. don't watch it as a pinku film to satisfy your needs and don't take it too serious either. the premise is nothing new (it's a bit like Split (2017)) and it's just a low-budget movie but it was entertaining enough for me. tbh i started watching it because i was interested in the 'lesbian' mentioned in the synopsis, and she didn't disappoint. i rated it 7.5/10. oh and maybe i'm wrong but i don't think men would like this movie lol
This movie is like the Japanese version of My Fair Lady (1964) with a lot of Japanese traditional and cultural elements. I got a chance to see it in the Japan Festival Movie Week in my country, it was a fun watch and Mone was truly the light of the movie.
I'd add 'musical' to the genres since there's quite a lot of singing. If you're interested in Japanese culture and language, give this movie a chance. I recommend watching 'Shall We Dance?' (1996, same director) before this one though (but not necessarily) because there's a few cute references of Shall We Dance that they put in Lady Maiko.
are you the user that put up the request on avistaz? i'm trying to gather more bonus points to vote up that request…
yeah it was me that fulfilled the request. i got the permission from the subber themselves to reupload the subs on avistaz and i used all the reward points (and some of mine) to get an avistaz invitation for the subber as a thank you ^^
I like AmeKoi so much that I've read the manga and watched both the anime and the LA. No words can describe how happy i was when i heard that Nana Komatsu was going to be Tachibana. I love her and I like her version of Tachibana a lot, though I have to say that Nana gives off a different vibe from the character from manga and anime.
This live-action , in my opinion, is fairly faithful to the original, a little more faithful to the anime i think (because the manga version of Kondo is a really lousy old man at home lol). I was afraid the movie would feel a bit rushed because some parts were omitted to fit a movie duration, which is understandable. But I'm glad everyone here still thinks it's chill and slow paced, that's how it's supposed to be.
As for the ending, all 3 endings from manga, anime and movie are the same if anyone's wondering about that. In all 3, Tachibana and Kondo gave each other the courage to follow their dreams. But each ending is slightly different in term of how close Tachibana and Kondo's relationship will be in future. The anime ending might be the most beautiful one (visually and metaphorically) but the movie one gives us a ray of hope, which is why I like the movie's ending a little bit more than the other 2.
If you like the movie, i highly recommend checking out the anime :)
a very good psychological thriller, i found it fascinating even.
just one tiny rant tho, i still don't understand the dog's necessity in the movie. i just wish the dog didn't exist at all because honestly **that final part** was the most off-putting scene in the whole movie for me.
