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
- Aimed squarely at anyone curious about anime and anyone looking to switch off and smile. It's anime, with all the big emotions and big action that comes with it. Same wavelength as Ghost in the Shell.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Moves at a clip, at 46 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 prefer quiet, talky stories.
Aired after Episode 174 - It is the last performance of a great actor and playwright, but several actors suddenly quit. Luckily, the Straw Hats offer to take their place. However, the quitting actors turns out to be more than a coincidence when they meet a Marine with a grudge against the playwright.
