Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes their monsters enormous and manga readers. The scale is huge: humanity is very much the underdog. Sits nicely alongside Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Made in the anime tradition: bold, emotional and willing to go dark.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 6 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
The date: 2015 AD. The Angels’ assaults on Tokyo-3 have increased in its ferocity. In this city, three young girls upload their latest song onto Nico Nico Douga.
