Another masterpiece by Master Yuasa. As a big fan of Yuasas work and the Tatami Galaxy series I could not have been happier with the announcement of the adaptation of another book by Morimi Tomihiko. Both books did not have as much appeal as their adaptations. Personally I believe that the Tatami Galaxy book is incomparable to its adaptation. Yoru wa Mijikashi falls in the same scenario. For those with hype for the production being basically the same from Tatami Galaxy you will not be disappointed. The film is filled with references to the previous work and although the repeated characters are not the same characters they have the same essence. The character of Watashi is this time Senpai. Unlike his version of ideologist of the 4 and a half tatami he has much less participation in this work being the focus of the plot in Akashisan the Blackhaired Girl. The dynamics speed of the beginning of the film with magnificent colors and movements made me feel inside the whale of Mind Game. This movie is chaotic as usual from Yuasas works. The soundtrack is the same godtier level as Tatami and some scenes made me feel like I was listening to those old tracks. The Asian KungFu Generation theme song is only played on the ending credits and its pretty disappointing as it does not fits as well as Maigo Inu to Ame no Beat fits Tatami. Those who are not acquainted with the previous Yuasas works might as well appreciate this movie even though they will probably lose some of the jokes. The pacing is perfect It uses the old style of fast and dynamic dialogues from Tatami but with much more charismatic characters and eccentric dances. I had the opportunity to watch the debut and I promise that you all should eagerly wait for the BluRay because its a mustsee.
