- I entered the movie as a devoted fan of the original anime series and expected a grand conclusion Kill Bill style, only to leave feeling utterly disappointed.

- Naoyoshi Shiotani's directing style makes this look like Psycho-Pass prequel and fails to capture any essence of Blood - C. The movie lacked the gritty, visceral feel that made the original series so captivating.

- Rather than building upon the rich lore and character development of the original material, the movie choose to focus on a generic authoritarian regime with heavy-handed messages about internet security and free speech. It felt like a missed opportunity to delve ...

I have to admit, I found myself enjoying this show more than I expected. While the opening and ending may suggest it's just another typical harem series, it's a well-balanced blend of romance and slice-of-life elements. The characters genuinely feel like friends when they hang out, and the female lead isn't just a token for male fantasy fulfillment. Although it serves as a promotional project for Hokkaido, the storytelling effectively highlights the region's best features.
