YOLO

You know all those little stories in 'Guardian: The Lonely and Great Gong Yoo' about the lives and deaths of strangers? They all carried the concise poignancy that made viewers weep and the Grim Reaper momentarily stop thinking about that fried chicken place. They were beautiful, potent, and thoughtful about death.

Similarly, 'Move to Heaven' uses episodic vignettes that cover the life and death of the eponymous company's clients, with a focus on a particular loose end or regret (think Mystic Pop-Up Bar, but with maggots). Each story touches on a meditative nuance about death that really pokes at that existential ulcer in your being. It's kind of like watching the first ten minutes of Pixar's 'Up' over and over again. You know, like, fun stuff.

Therefore, our protagonists feel dutifully obliged to provide closure. These stories form under a larger story arc of trauma cleaners that arrange a person's "final move" after their death that encapsulates underground MMA matches, cinematic trips to the aquarium, and lots of Na-Mu's mom throwing trash onto the street.

'Move to Heaven' will make you want to hug your loved ones a little tighter while your own mortality bristles at its firming.
