She is one hell of an interesting young actress. For an idoru actress at her age, she is suprisingly versatile and possesses such an unusual skill set compared to her peers (i.e. roles with physical prowess, exotic looks, charisma and vibe, as well as propensity to perform better in dark roles). Under a better management than what she's now (LDH has always been absolutely terrible in managing their female actresses, just look at Mizuno Erina), she could actually develop into really good actress.
Dammit, the pilot episode is surprisingly good and well-handled. If it's really only 5 episodes they can keep the pace just as needed and much less likely to be draggy. Glad to see Yuina back on track again.
Looks like they will turn it into Yuusha-like movie. The casting of Oguri makes sense since he is a close friend of Yuichi Fukuda. He also appeared as guest in Yuusha as well.
Kubota is good and Fumika is surprisingly promising actress but I don't buy this idea. Japan simply don't have flair to execute a movie like this. Moreover they even use noob director who haven't even anything under his belt as movie chief director.
Can't wait for Yuusha 3, I wonder whether they will make Yuusha able to see Hotoke without the stupid glasses and moreover, how he will ressurect Yuusha et al. from their graves lol.
And of course who are the actors who will play as guests, they must be Yamada's colleagues anyway.
The thing I like the most is that Okada's character is so well-layered and relatable to the situation. Most of the CG is good except for some few scenes (like when some fighter planes land on an aircraft carrier). The first half, especially when it comes to Miyabe's character development, is quite good but the second half turns into a snoozefest. They should've write the aftermath shorter and leave the conclusion up to the audience, rather than telling it straightforwardly.
