I finally saw the film last night with some friends, and we were all very happy with it. I think this time they captured the feeling I got from reading the manga this time (season one dropped the ball at some pretty significant moments, and the comedy didn't seem to work either). The animation was great, obviously. Reze's voice surprised me at first but I thought her VA was a perfect fit in the end. The part where she sang in Russian wasn't cringe, which is probably the most surprising thing about the whole film. The music was exceptionally good. There was something I noticed with the piano theme that played at some point during one of their dates; when Reze revealed her powers and the music builds up, the same piano is playing but with a load of heavy distortion over the top of it. I really liked that. There were lots of moments of great sound design. I had it in my head that the scene where Beam rescues Denji and runs away would have a techno track playing and thats more or less what I got. I've seen some people in other threads complaining about a lack of creativity and glazing the DRAGON for season one's approach, but the panelling and fight choreography in the Reze fight is probably some of the best Fuji has ever done so I'm glad the stuck close to the source material. The only specific panel I was dissapointed not to see was pic rel. A couple other things I loved were the freeze frames during the Typhoon kill that had the same colour scheme as the volume covers, and the slowmo stand rush beatdown Reze did to Beam for no reason whatsoever, that was funny. The slapstick quality of the manga and the comedy in general was done well. My only real complaint is that the fight against Typhoon was a bit incomprehensible, but that was always going to be case I think. I also didn't care for the intro song. But yeah, it was KINO
