The music they use really adds up to the feels of the movie it makes such scenes epic and those battles engaging. Visuals in this movie is so damn fine as slow motion in those karuta battle works so damn well, it gives those scenes so much impact, also give kudos to editing. ![]() He's an actor's director, the one who makes his actors looks better and probably the reason why Suzu Hirose looks so fine here. The other thing is that he is great in showing the emotions of his characters, even an angle where only back of a person is seen. He is great creating meaningful scenes for the reason that cinematography is one of his strongest points especially long shots, people who saw taiyou no uta know what I mean. Fan or not this is a must watch as karuta as a game is so fascinating to begin with, it's part of Japanese culture and its poems are somewhat the foundation of Japanese morals and just like as they flick those cards in slow motion, its lessons will approach you straight to your face.īefore watching this I already knew that the director is Norihiro Koizumi, the same guy who directed Taiyou no uta(movie) and the liar and his lover so I am confident that this would be a good adaptation when I first heard about it and I am not wrong. There's a bit of romance hinted here but that's not the main focus in the story, it's more about friendship and their conflicts. First verse created the dynamics between characters well that it felt more natural in the second verse. ![]() ![]() The first verse is a great set up for the awesome second verse as its theme is somewhat connected with the second verse. Rewatch Value 10 A very nice example of live action done right as this one didn't suffer from that thing that most live actions have, this time the story is not rushed but without removing important elements and events in the anime.
