Hakuouki Movie 1: Kyoto Ranbu Review

MY BISHIES ARE BACK!!!


Enough with the shrieking.
Beautiful art, though perhaps not as good as the game's.
What I really liked about the art in this one is how the background's colors change when Oni/Rasetsu are fighting.
It gives off an air of fantasy/supernatural stuff/Asian legends/traditional Japanese art.

Moving/touching theme song (Yoshioka Aika's Kurenai no Ito) also is a good thing.

But... Let's just say that, before seeing the trailer,
I had a teeeeeny tiiiiiiiny eeny meeny miny moe pinch of hope
That the movie would be done on Souji's route. Oh well.
That goes down the drain. At least Hijikata's my second favorite.

Okita-san.
Okita-san Okita-san Okita-san Okita-san


Sorry. Well, the movie was satisfactory, with cool music and all.
I especially liked how they remade the scene where Chizuru first meets Hijikata.
The sound of that shinobue...........................mmm..................

Anyways, this movie's more like a tribute to Hijikata's route.
Some minor changes to the original plot are made to make Hijikata's route more prominent.
So fans of other routes should not expect their fave bishie to come up more or anything...

I must also say, I like how, during battles, the bishies' costumes were altered to make the battles seem more realistic (adding armor, using pants *coughSaitocough*, leg bandages, etc.)
