Dororo

The beginning was promising, interesting, I thought I really hit the mark in choosing this movie. But then – I don't know why – I was disappointed by the dancers in the "historical bar", but even with that feeling I kept watching with gusto, because there was Tsumabuki, the reason I turned it on in the first place, so I put on a satisfied face and moved on. But some manga should remain manga (or at most, can be remade into anime) because they look terrible on the silver screen – I'm talking about the monsters at the moment, dear Lord; I'm also talking about the rushed yet unfinished story that says if you want to know how it turns out, and if you want to enjoy it more, open the manga; I'm talking about those slow-swimming blades that don't cut anyone except to gouge out an eye. But again, it wasn't that bad a movie, I was just expecting something more, something "hmm, hmm" (you know what I mean by that...?). For my part, my disappointment is reflected in the rating.
