i watched inu-oh because of marchon yesterday so i'm going to put my thoughts here. there are spoilers for the ending of the movie

man. man. i didn't know what to expect going into this movie. i'd heard about it a while back and thouhgt it was a series about yokai?

then i realized it was a movie because march was talking about it, and so i looked it up

didn't spoil myself on anything, just saw that it was a rock opera set in the past and was like. oh okay

it was a wild, intense ride. and i enjoyed it for the most part. i think my favorite part was the performance at the shogun's pa... lace?

i loved the glam rock Tomona a whole lot

spoilery bits here

i didn't really like the ending. like it left me wholly unsatisfied. i figured it would be a tragedy just because it seemed like it was going so hard, and then there were the curses and stuff

but what really made me sad was that Tomona's blindness was not restored, while Inu-oh got a human body back

and yes Tomona was still very capable as a blind man, but the kicker was that he suffered. he was brutally killed and inu-oh got to live

i'm sure inu oh lived a very lonely life, only performing scripted stories for the shogun, so i guess he did suffer too?

idk. their souls found each other again in the end, so that was nice

but i went away feeling sad, like things were unresolved

and i guess that's how it's supposed to be

still good movie

made me have a lot of feelings

thank you, march

SO FRUSTRATING... yes, though I did enjoy it
