🔥🔥🔥 Extremely good, felt like the show was back, except with some of the best animation I’ve seen in an anime. Choreography went crazy, hype moments made you hyped, and it gave every character their time to shine, just like the main show (except my girl Dorothy 😭😭 please she needs more screen time please) Will very easily watch again, we’ll see if rating goes up or down on rewatch. Also, I’m the one who made most of the edits for the letterboxd page for this movie so I’m proud of that 😎 Overall, 9/10, but that's coming from someone who loves the seriesas well.

Having watched the series before and cancelled my Crunchyroll subscription some time ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find this movie on Netflix. I wanted something to kill time with, and thought this would be perfect. Well, it was okay, but certainly not perfect. The okay bits: got to see/hear the familiar cast, even if some supporting characters only appeared on screen for a split second. Also, the battle scenes were okay (even great, according to some reviewers). Now onto the not-so-good stuff. At first, I felt like the CGI fit this anime kinda awkwardly. For example, the arena where the initial tournament happens just felt out of place, because it felt too 3D-ish (or perhaps too clean/too detailed) compared to most other stuff. Then later, I figured the story was a total cliché. The villain was that super typical "misguided" dude who has a somewhat sad backstory (which is very shortly summarized in passing) and wants to create a utopia world where "everybody respects each other and laughs with each other" at the (very miniscule) expense of killing off whoever opposes him on the way. So dumb, so shallow, so déjà vu. But I'd say even that wasn't executed very well, because in some scenes he seems to enjoy just wreaking havoc and/or inflicting pain on others a little too much (which seems rather out of character for someone so dedicated to the idea of universal love and respect). Of course, the good guys win at the end, and the villain gets some "character development" in the form of realizing how mistaken he was at the very end. That's just... dull. So again, I'd say this film is okay to watch, but it's far from masterpiece.

  • Nazi Town, USA
    Nazi Town, USA
    2024-01-23
    In February 1939, more than 20,000 Americans filled Madison Square Garden for an event billed as a “Pro-American Rally.” Images of George Washington hung next to swastikas and speakers railed against the “Jewish controlled media” and called for a return to a racially “pure” America. The keynote speaker was Fritz Kuhn, head of the German American Bund. Nazi Town, USA tells the largely unknown story of the Bund, which had scores of chapters in suburbs and big cities across the country and represented what many believe was a real threat of fascist subversion in the United States. The Bund held joint rallies with the Ku Klux Klan and ran dozens of summer camps for children centered around Nazi ideology and imagery. Its melding of patriotic values with virulent anti-Semitism raised thorny issues that we continue to wrestle with today.

Just like in 2010 and 2011, the animation labor group received 214.5 million yen (US$2.65 million) from the Japanese government's Agency for Cultural Affairs, and it distributed most of those funds to studios who train young animators on-the-job. An old and a young man find themselves in a mysterious bar where they have to play a game of billiard. The bet: their lives.
