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
- Made for people who like their sci-fi with a brain-teaser in it and people who love a good growing-up story. Pay attention early: the time-bending pays off later. If you loved Jujutsu Kaisen 0, start here. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young.
- The mood
- Tense, mind-bending.
- The pace
- Fast-moving, at 1 hr 56 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
Students, including Aoi Nishino, take part in class and sports activity at a prestigious high school. Aoi Nishino is a member of the school's archery club. He practices archery studiously and doesn't socialize much with the other students. His childhood friend Haruka Seno is also a member of the archery club, but she worries about Aoi Nishino. One day, thunder strikes the school grounds. After that, the ordinary lives of the students changes drastically. Many samurai descend on the school grounds. It appears that the entire school has traveled back in time to the Sengoku period. Making things worse, they realize that they are in the time right before the Battle of Okehazama takes place.
