A ★★½ review of Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (2026) Japanuary'26 - #15 As messy as overloaded. Feels like someone thought about a lot of certain scenes, but didn't care about how to bring them cohesively together. Telling the tale of Princess Kaguya in...

"Dracula: A Love Tale" by Luc Besson.

Is there a way to sort it by new additions? I dont mean year or release date.. just would like to see what you added last.

A ★★★ review of Dear Stranger (2025) Was very intrigued at first when I saw the cast consists of Hidetoshi Nishijima (Drive My Car) and Gwen Lu-Mei (Black Coal, Thin Ice; Wild Goose Lake) living together as a married couple in New York. ...

Watched Toei's first English-language live-action "Dear Stranger" with Hidetoshi Nishijima that will hit theaters soon.

Bottom line is there wasn't really a need to let it take place in New York. But what else do you choose to depict a crime-rotten place?

Like Baby Assassins a lot and other titles from Sakamoto's little universe

I didn't tbh. Only now since the accouncement of Monster was shared. That's why I am curious.

Hope no AI upscaling or translation-wise was involved

Anything new you are working on right now?
