Aooni the Movie

FireEmblemIke24★ 10

Monsters only appear if you believe them - Nakano, best boy (2017-2017) Story (10/10) The movie story is very original, much better than the game as it only relies on shock value. This movie has no plot holes and has excellent foreshadowing to boot. Art (6/10) I did not like the CG used in this, it reminded me of SIMS. It was ok but it could have been hand drawn instead.Sound (8/10) The music was not that good. It was nice for a horror game anime. It was forgettable at best. Characters (10/10) Instead of the GOAT cast of Takeshi and co, we have Manabe and co who are much better and feel more real. I actually cared about them this time, well fleshed out as well. Enjoyment (10/10) I hated spamming the control button in the game just to exit the door. The anime is better in that regard. I would recommend this show as I loved it. Contender for best animu of 2017!

Many fans would love to see a good horror-movie based on the game 'Ao Oni' but instead they get this... Sadly, it has very little to do with the game. It has the monster, the chase music, and they talk about 'Ao Oni' being a video-game. That's basically all it has in common with the source material. The plot isn't terrible but the execution is very poor. The pacing is slow and awkward. Every scene feels like it was slowed down. The characters aren't likeable or interesting. They had plenty of time to make them likeable before the threat comes into play but nope. The charactersare very forgettable. It's 3D animated and looks very cheap. It's very choppy making it unpleasant to look at. Most of the time it has an average of about seven frames per second. In most 3D animation software, tweening is very easy and automatic. They must have decided to render it out with a lower frame-rate to make it appear more like traditional 2D animation. The animation itself is awkward and looks very unnatural. The characters move like robots. With this kind of animation and choppiness, you would fail a 3D animation course. The music isn't good except for the music during the end-credits which is actually alright. Overall, it's awkward, cheap-looking, and boring. I don't recommend this to anyone. If you're an Ao Oni fan and you're really curious, then maybe watch it.
