Date A Live Movie: Mayuri Judgment

Wow, what a movie that was.

First off, as a fan of Date a Live who only started the show in 2022, this movie was not what I expected. After catching up to season 4, this movie hits differently. I enjoyed how this movie was going for a story that reminisces what made the first season great. If your looking for more Date a Live after catching up with the anime, this movie is a must-watch.

Story
Solid, I enjoyed the date scenes as we get to see some funny moments in them. Also, I like how it built up to who Mayuri is. The more dates Shido ... went on, the questions arose who is this Mayuri girl? Then you get to Shido and Mayuri finally in a conversation, the final battle begins, and man that was epic. It's such a simple plot but it works well for such a short-length film. I wish Mayuri got more screen time but it makes sense why she doesn't. I hope Mayuri returns in Date a Live but that seems unlikely.

Animation
I love how they were going toward the season 1 animation to take viewers to the early days. It gave me nostalgia for when I started the show. Seeing this again was a breath of fresh air.

Flaws: I wished the movie went into more backstory on Mayuri and Shido spending more time with her. Because she has such a cool design and I feel like she could have so much potential. At least the viewer has to imagine the characters will Mayuri in their hearts. Solid movie for DAL fans.

This review contains very tiny spoilers.

I honestly was hyped. A movie? For my favourite harem series? Incredible. But after watching this movie, it seems so much smaller. Time for a review.

We'll start with the pros. The art(8), as usual, is good like the rest of the Date A Live anime series. The sound(7) was mediocre for the movie, it wasn't the specialty of the movie or bad; just normal. That's closest to any praise I can give.

Cons: The CHARACTERS(5). All the characters who weren't mains were normal. But, the character that the movie is literally named after(Mayuri) was barely featured until the end. All ... she did was look at Shido and his girlfriends walk around until the end, which was almost as bad. Which brings us to the story(6). It's basically the same thing; they go on dates. For about 3/4 of the entire movie. The story weird and confusing to understand when it reaches the end of the movie, but before the ending 1/4 part kicks in, you have no clue why the movie is named Mayuri Judgement. It tries explaining the huge chunk that viewers don't understand in about 20 minutes or more.

Enjoyment: 6 cause I didn't enjoy it as much as the first season. Or the second season. Or the third season. Or the specials.

Overall: 6. Cause reasons. Mostly 6s and the average rounded to nearest ones is 6.

You can choose whether to watch this movie or not, I wouldn't recommend doing so, but who knows? Maybe you might like movies that make you wonder what the hell is going on or rushed endings when you want to see a main character take part more in a movie.

Well, where do I even begin with the masterpiece that is Date A Live Movie: Mayuri Judgment? The story is an absolute tour de force, weaving together complex themes of love, fate, and the nature of reality itself in a way that will leave you breathless. The two to three main characters are simply unforgettable, with their nuanced personalities and intricate relationships driving the narrative forward with the force of a freight train.

And let's talk about the music. Oh, the music! It's a symphony of sound that will take you on an emotional journey you'll never forget. From the hauntingly ... beautiful melodies to the heart-pumping beats, it's a true feast for the ears.

As for my enjoyment experience... well, let's just say I spent the entire movie on the edge of my seat, completely enthralled by the stunning visuals and expertly crafted storytelling. It was an experience like no other, and I can't recommend it enough.

But honestly, who am I kidding? This anime is a steaming pile of garbage. The story is a convoluted mess, the characters are paper-thin and forgettable, the music is forgettable at best and grating at worst, and the entire thing feels like a cheap cash-grab aimed at gullible otaku with more money than sense. Save your time and your money, and avoid this hot mess like the plague.

Nah, bagaimana saya harus memulai untuk membahas film masterpiece yang disebut Date A Live Movie: Mayuri Judgment ini? Ceritanya luar biasa dan kompleks, menggabungkan tema-tema cinta, takdir, dan sifat realitas itu sendiri dengan cara yang akan membuat Anda terpukau. Dua atau tiga karakter utama yang ada sangatlah tak terlupakan, dengan kepribadian mereka yang rumit dan hubungan yang rumit mendorong narasi maju dengan kekuatan kereta barang.

Dan mari kita bicara tentang musiknya. Oh, musiknya! Ini adalah sebuah simfoni suara yang akan membawa Anda dalam perjalanan emosional yang tidak akan pernah terlupakan. Dari melodi yang indah hingga dentuman-dentuman jantung, ini adalah sebuah persembahan yang benar-benar memanjakan telinga.

Sebagai pengalaman menontonnya, saya menghabiskan seluruh film dalam keadaan tegang dan benar-benar terpesona oleh visual yang memukau dan kisah yang dibuat secara ahli. Ini adalah pengalaman yang tidak terlupakan dan saya sangat merekomendasikannya.

Tapi jujur saja, siapa yang saya tipu? Anime ini adalah tumpukan sampah yang membusuk. Ceritanya berantakan, karakternya tipis dan mudah dilupakan, musiknya hanya sedikit yang dapat diingat dan pada beberapa saat terdengar menjengkelkan. Dan seluruhnya terasa seperti upaya murahan untuk menarik uang dari penggemar otaku yang mudah tertipu. Hematlah waktu dan uang Anda dan hindari anime ini
