Mai Demon: Our Personal Hell (2024)
Makes 0 sense
Ok this episode makes 0 sense to me. She knows he's a demon before falling in love with him. Like what do you expect from a demon? He has been honest with her at the beginning that he makes contracts and collect souls. It's like "Omg you told me you're a baker and you're actually baking for a living?" scenario. I know this is a drama and things have to be dramatic. I enjoyed everything so far, but this episode where Do Hee reacted negatively like this when he collected soul from a contract is ridiculous.
Also, she has been in the clock room before. All the names are so obvious, unless you're super blind. Like girl, doesn't even care to ask "why do you have so many clocks?", "what are those names? Who are these people?"
Castlevania: Nocturne (2023)
Unexpected elements
There are lots of surprising elements throughout the season. With characters inspired by real life historical people and each story linked perfectly together. There are differences between the ancestors vs the current characters in terms of power, skills and abilities. Some back stories are quite touching. There is not really a feeling that there was only 1 main character, and the story revolving this person only, but there were many. The season also brought a lot of moral and faith questions which make you realized there is light in darkness and there is darkness in light.
There is no doubt that this will be a success after the first Castlevania. If you're a huge fan, do watch this.
Suzume no Tojimari (2022)
Bad plot, bad character development and waste of time
I'm talking mainly about the plot and the character development that I dislike.
The girl had some childhood trauma that she never healed and it showed because throughout the movie, she was just being overacted, overflowed with unstable emotions, too extra and just in a hysterical state all the time. Her actions were being carried out with zero thoughts. Is this how people view teenage girls nowadays? Headless and unstable?
She is ungrateful and self centered. This was showed between her and her aunt interactions. She was unconsidered to the people who care about her (her aunt and the white cat Daijin) and only think about herself. She then implicitly sacrificed the cat who cared about her, to get what she wanted (the guy, Souta, who she fell in love with literally just over 3 days (?)). At the end...he then left her.
Yes, the cats (both Daijin and his brother) died at the end. How do we know this? Through Souta's memory. He said that he doesn't want to die and want to live, aka not become a keystone.
No, she never apologized to her aunt. She just said "thank you" and that was it. It was her aunt who apologized to her. Like you have the audacity to leave the house, stayed with a random stranger overnight while being underage and didn't care to apologized to your guardian who cared and worried about you? In Western cultures this might be taken lightly but here in Asia we call them uneducated children (it's a heavy insult to be called uneducated in Asia) and followed by some punishments.
If any adult in real life encountered someone like her, they most likely going to suggest her to get some mental helps.
I know there are many people who also dislike the ending. This movie literally has a plot where there exists a running and talking chair, yet they couldnt write an ending in which the cat is also alive??
Yes, you can have 1-2 amazing movies, but not all of your movies will be good. This one in particular is a disaster.
