Night is long, walk on girl

[soundofwonder]

Girl who likes drinking goes on a trip around Kyoto, while guy who likes her tries to get a date with her.

A surreal little movie but another good one from Masaaki Yuasa. Liked this more than Lu over the Wall, which felt a little disjointed. It's been months since I watched that so I can't really remember the exact details, but I do remember being a little unsatisfied with it.

It's based on Tomihiki Morimi's work of the same name, and as usual he set it in Kyoto. 80% of why I love Kyoto is because due to Uchouten Kazoku which is also written by him so I'm just inherently biased, but it's a really enjoyable movie about...romance? I guess?

One should go in being just prepared for whatever the movie throws at them, and they will have a good time. Certainly not a realistic movie, but that's the beauty of animation.

Also there was a reference to Uchoten Kazoku which is the most important part of the movie imo...I really have to read Tomihiko Morimi's works some time.

The poster is giving me serious Tatami Galaxy vibes, which I love!

Not surprising, seeing that both are written by the same author and animated by the same director ;)

I saw a trailer for this and I really, really want to see this. A lot of that has to do with the title, I'll confess *g*

Take the chance to see it if you can! I somewhat regret not watching it a second time.

There's also uchoten kazoku by the same writer (and possibly the same universe) if you want something more accessible!

ngl I'm just shilling this series because I love it
