Strong characters

The movie is very interesting. The main characters are very well crafted, both in personality and appearance. The beginning of the movie is very good, and captures the attention of the audience in an instant.
The camera angles and clips are all very well done, and the acting is well delivered.

The movie is R15, but I think it would have been better to make it R18. I hate to say it, but the recorded rape scene wasn’t gruesome nor graphic enough. I also think that the movie deserves a sex scene (without rape in it).

All in all, it was a good movie and I would watch it again.

Disturbing at first

Most people would probably find this movie extremely disturbing and traumatising to watch, and at first it might be that way, but as the story progresses, everything slowly falls into place, even the scenes that were hard to watch.
This is a good movie with an important message, but it's definitely not for everyone.

The acting was phenomenal, considering the number of uncomfortable scenes in the movie. Both leads did a really good job.

The camerawork is great, and there's an interesting use of horror elements in the scenes that were shot in "the room", although the lighting could have been better in some of those scenes. Certain scenes could have been constructed better, in terms of music and so on.

The movie also failed to include some important lines from the manga, such as: "Look at the people below" in the suicide scene. But despite this, I still found the script to be well written, and it takes up the theme of suicide without directly addressing it.
The ending was beautiful and perfect.

Overall, it was a great movie, and I would rewatch it again

A slight awkwardness

I truly enjoyed watching this movie. The script was good, and there were no unnecessary scenes. All the actors did great, but Kakihara Rinka in particular, did an excellent job portraying Tomo's strong and unique character.

Some of the scenes were a bit weird, such as the boob-touching scene. The direction could've also been better. Numbers of scenes with Rinko and Tomo were awkward, in terms of body language and physical contact. This could also be cue to the lack of effort that was put into Rinko’s character.

Ending was superb.

It was a beautiful and educational movie, that is very much enjoyable if we look past the awkwardness.

A movie with important topics

The contents of the movie is a bit questionable. All the kinks and fetishes distorted the message, resulting in a roundabout way of storytelling. The fetishes were an important part of the movie, but it got a bit too much at the end.

The message of the movie is good, and it takes up various important topics, such as prostitution and humans sexual desire. I also liked the story progression, despite the scenes that made me think “Oh Lord, me eyes,” or “What the F is going on here.”

The cinematography is definitely on the advanced side. The cold and dark themed atmosphere resonated really well with the plot and setting. I also really enjoyed the way they played with the lighting in the darker scenes. The acting was very good, but the ending was just 100% questionable, mostly in terms of editing.

Absolutely stunning

The OST is absolutely stunning, and captures the meaning of the series so well. The scenery and settings are all beautiful, and I love both the plot and script. The cinematography is high quality, which is very visible in the crisp and accurate shots. The acting is very good, and I like that it’s not all about the couple, but about the characters they meet on the way as well. Everyone got a character development, and made each other stronger for it.

The explicit scenes were very unexpected from a Japanese BL, and were well executed. The only downside is that it totally ruined the mood at the end. It was great for the start of the series, but they should've made it less graphic to preserve the special atmosphere that they had going on in the final episode.

Now, let’s talk about the ending… I don’t know what to say, except that it was super frustrating and unsatisfactory. Although I believe this was the best way to end the series, it still felt incomplete. The reason for this is most likely because there were a number of things that were left unsolved, not including the meteor situation. An example of this is Yuma's "powers". This phenomenon should have been explained before we reached the end of the series.
Nevertheless, it was so worth my time, and I will definitely rewatch it in the future.

Heavenly blend of cute and fluff

This series is so cute and FLUFFY, and the ship is absolutely adorable. The plot is very fun, and I loved each and every episode of it.
The sex scene was very unexpected from a Japanese BL, and was executed exceptionally! The character dynamics and development is also very good (we love you Masayan <3).

There were many unnecessary lines, in the sense that they often pointed out things that were obvious, or had already been resolved in the previous lines. Many lines also ruined the mood of the scene, and could easily be solved with body language. There were also a tad too many flashbacks and repeated scenes. Some scenes were shown up to five times throughout the series, which is just unnecessary.
