4/11/2023 0 Comments Doremi motto folge 1![]() The closing song was nice, which I think is original.ĭespite all my criticism, I liked this, likely because I really enjoy the Doremi series, and it being very aesthetically on-point. The soundtrack is mostly the same as the show. There's a segment where everyone's enjoying dinner, Aiko is now feeling comfortable with Doremi's grandfather and suddenly it's revealed he will die soon, and everyone bursts into tears. One great thing about the Doremi series is it's ability to transition between comedy and drama basically seamlessly, but they did not pull that off in this film. When Aiko explains her memories that caused her to be scared of the grandfather and feels better after simply telling Momoko this, I actually thought this was because she didn't want them to worry about her, and this was hinting at a further plot point because of the exaggeration of her relief, but nope, she's fine now. Everyone was so excited to despite the fact they barely new Doremi and Pop's grandfather. The whole thing with the girls wanting to sit on the grandfather's lap was weird. And this plot is not particularly memorble compared to the show, it's like the show knows the plot isn't super significant. Some scenes feel weird and focused on for too long, yet major plot points are Structure wise the film is a bit of a mess. That said, the presentation is the most significant element here. ![]() And honestly this film is pretty much an excuse to see the Doremi cast well-animated, in a pretty environment, and in HD. There's an occasion wonky 3D environment, but it looks mostly great, even for Doremi standards. ![]() Some of the visual elements remind me of Casshern Sins. To my tastes, this film is extremely pretty, much more so than the previous Sharp film. I would really like to know about the production history of this one, because it feels like it was supposed to be a much longer movie, but was then cut short to fit a normal episode's length and it just feels unbelievably wrong. Maybe there was something wrong with the version of the movie I saw, but the frame always felt cluttered and claustrophobic, needlessly zoomed in, the camera almost hit those characters in the face on multiple occasions and the many instances of these 2D-characters just standing out against a weird CG-background. Then there's the visual presentation which also is incredibly off-putting. Like, I could imagine if they wanted to after spending a week or so with the grandparents, but definitely not upon the first time they really get to talk. Aforementioned Hadzuki and Onpu especially seem weird doing this. Or Aiko, who right after remembering a very painful - and for some reason unbelievably exaggerated - event with her granddad, just kiind of immediately gets over it for no reason at all other than "I'm so glad I remembered this"?Īnd then all of a sudden, Doremi's grandpa is like "oy I might be dying soon you know" out of nowhere and everyone breaks into tears? Or how everyone is super eager to sit on his lap for no concernable reason at all? Like I would understand for Doremi or especially Pop to want that, but everyone else kinda treats it like a slide in the backyard they are eager to ride. In the show you'd get a very good feeling how each of the girls thinks and acts, how they have different ways of processing things, whereas here, everyone is acting out of character or doesn't really show a character at all, like Hadzuki, Pop or Onpu, who don't have anything to do at all. And likewise, the characters make no sense too. Character motivations are hard to comprehend and don't make sense at all. Plot points are mentioned kinda off-handedly. Not a single quiet moment the show had so many of, necessary to allow its world and characters to breathe. There is no buildup to anything, it's constantly loud and annoying. The first big noticeable flaw this movie has is its pacing. Tragically died and whose tears made it rain a lot, and the story of a painful memory about her own grandpa Aiko has to confront while spending time with Doremi and Pop's grandparents. You have basically two stories alongside each other The story of a stone in the mountains that resembles a frog, modeled after a frog that bemourned a young girl that Other than a couple fun expressions and little animations, this has basically nothing in common with the show, its tone or characters.Īnd the thing is, the base story and character exploration as it happens is a good idea that could've easily worked as a movie of 60, or even just 45 minutes. So the movie has no director according to MAL, and while I don't know if that's true or not, it definitely feels like it.
