Bright: Alma de samurái

I loved the Movie BRITE . I was hoping for a series , but I'm sure Will Smith made that a buzz kill on the budget. I was glad to see a new version on it. I like anime. This turned out better than I thought it was going to be. I wanted more. Several aspects of older stories mixed with the Brite characters, but Still I was entertained. Please make more.

Decent animation, good action, and a simple but effective story. Like the original movie, the growing bond between the human hero (a Samurai in this case) and an orc is interesting. And their protection of a young elf girl is heartwarming :-)

The story had good potential, but the voice acting, specially of Sonya is beyond terrible. It really throw off all the good that could come from this animation.

Anime should have been a bit longer to establish some backstories, some motivations were unclear but the action and art style were good but the score was terrible.

This could have been good.

But honestly it just wasn't developed enough. I get the themes, the goals, where they were trying to go with it but just not enough dev. The animation could have been great but it needed editing, refining. Script could have been great but it needed-again, refining. It felt like SO much content was missing. Why make a movie that has a story that should be 1h40m into 1h20m?

It just felt incomplete. I get the push to be good enough and get content out fast but this movie was definitely a failed by-product of that philosophy.

Netflix serving up raw cake and expect us to be excited about it.
