Watched this yesterday! (yes I realise I'm still behind on a shit ton).




I went with my friend who is a Terra Formars manga reader, but me not having done any homework (for once) went in with the expectations of:
- lots of action
- episodic fighting missions
- something similar to GANTZ in terms of fights, violence and relationships between the characters.
I'd like to say I was half proven right ^_^

Overall: I was entertained and I really enjoyed what I saw but it wasn't enough; it felt like one big introduction to this world and I need a part 2 asap! This was a VERY highly produced product (yet another big budget movie from Japan!) and it was visually pleasing and the CG was great and the end song is so catchy! I was very impressed by the English in this too. Didn't need to read the subtitles for most of that time they spoke English but of course there were a few dodgy pronouncing parts xD second movie please?
Rating: 6.5/10

And there's the first five! I seemed to have a mix of complete disappointment and complete love in this review... how about you?

I watched this on Monday!



I don't really have much to say so no point having a cut for this post:

I think this would've been better as a second season rather than a movie. I feel the fact we only had 2 hours really forced the drama to lose all the charm it had in the drama and it didn't have enough time to build suspense. Also, cos it got delayed for like a YEAR, a lot of my interesting and hype in the product was pretty much gone by the time it FINALLY came out and (going back to it being a movie) we kinda lost and/or forgot all the characters and their charms in the movie and there was like no development. Also, I felt like the ending was very, very predictable (both character deaths were predictable to the exact detail in my mind) so I was a tad disappointed. The switching of roles (see me trying not to spoil anything) was very obvious too! There was definitely not enough Tsune-chan. I wish we'd been shown more of his school-life too. There were a few dodgy edits which is concerning =/ I wanted 'Chike' to show up at the end too!

On a positive: The comedy parts were great (but stopped being a comedy after the first 30minutes or so ='[) It had a very beautiful opening shot once they finished with the 'this is what happened in the dorama' catch up. I also really liked the locations used (like the place with the giant tree! and I'm always a sucker for old looking Japanese places/houses) as well as the music (the music has always been amazing though!) which I now have playing in my head xD OH! There's also the costumes! Holy CRAP the costumes!! I seriously just want Nobunaga and Hideyoshi's outfits to lounge in at home cos they look freaking comfy as fuuuu!! I did shed a tear at the end scene with the video. The cute little Nobunaga and Chike figures were so cute too!!

But yes astetically it was beautiful but the story and development and climaz of the story were disappointing =[ I did feel unsatisfied at the end.

Rating: 5/10
