Hotto Gimikku: Gâru Mîtsu Bôi

Except it isn't. What a mess of a movie. I don't know the manga so I have no clue what's the story here. It goes very quickly from one scene to another and a lot of pausing is involved. At some point I just gave up and watched it like it's a music video. It became somewhat enjoyable then.

There is no way that anyone, let alone young girls should be watching this and think that it's normal. Why writing something so awfully harmful and beyond all else abusive!!? This is not love. This is not romance. This is just low level behavior in people that you should not be around let alone tolerate. Would've given it minus 10 if it was possible. Big NO!

This movie was a whole mess and quite frankly the editing and the storyline made it uncomfortable to watch. I almost gave up watching it halfway and honestly wish I would have.

I was expecting this movie for a long time, and it's not worth it. First, about the characters' appearances. It really bugs me that the hair of the characters keep the face of the actors hidden. It's really hard to see their expression with that kind of hairstyle. Besides, they do not look good in this movie as they do in real life. Make up artists should really do something about that. Second, about the way they shoot the movie. It's really confusing to me who have no idea about the manga and just saw this for the first time. It's really rush and the conversations seem disconnected. Some scenes just make me feel dizzy. I really don't like the way they shoot the movie. Also, it feels like some unprofessional people do this because the resolution of the film is very low. I thought my internet connection was bad, but it wasn't. Ok, finally, about the actors. They seem to be inexperienced and not be able to pull this character off.

As someone who loved the manga, all I want to say is; read the manga instead. The cameracrew must have smelling their socks while filming, the cutting is horrible, and the plot is only thinly displayed, could've used more meat. The acting and lines are either horribly translated or just poorly written. If they had made it into a series, they still would have to change most of the actors for it to be decent. BUT and it's a big but, it gets more true to the manga at the middle, and that really lifts it a bit. Not enough to be good, because there is so much missing in between the changes.
