Running Time: 1:39
Nominated for: Animated Feature, Best Original Song
How I watched: Netflix
When it had me: Cute characters
When it lost me: Honmoon?
What systems does it challenge: Demonology
This movie dives right in and gets down to business. I appreciate that it doesn't waste any time on complex exposition. Even so, I didn't know what in the world a honmoon was or what they were saying or what it meant until I looked it up only moments ago.
The main characters are so adorable and relatable. They are serious about their jobs, both as popstars and demon hunters, but they also value their snacks and couch rotting time. They are attracted to cute boys and also know a red flag when they see one.
The music is catchy and fun and it rolls right along to a conclusion that was maybe a bit too easy to pull off. I like the message that our own scars and dark thoughts are a bigger threat to us than others who are fighting their own battles with shame.
The costumes of the demons are pretty great and I genuinely fell in love with the bird and the tiger! All in all, much better than I expected.
