Jmovie: Battle league Horumo(2009)


ホルモー!

Rating: 5/6
Freshman Akira Abe(Yamada Takayuki) at Kyoto University falls in love with classmate Kyoko(Ashina Sei), and this makes him join a weird club Kyoto University Azure Dragons. Eventually, it turns out the club is actually a club that forms a team of oni(small spirits) to fight against other teams.
But everything doesn't go as planned, and the spirit gods(or something) are unpleased.



So you have the drama of love and friendship, the action of fighting with oni, and you fill it with some sillyness. You can tell just by looking at (some of) the characters, it's one of those moviesXD

Well, it's a good movie:D The characters are good, and the oni-fighting is also good, though you can see it is animated:P But I still feel the movie lacks the little extra something to take it from good to great.
It might be that the oni-fighting is kind of distanced from the movie, concentrating more on the people. Even though there are lots of oni, you don't really get... involved?
But it's not that big of a deal, and it doesn't ruin the movie or anything:P

I like it^^
