8/10
Japanese animation
11 June 2021
A girl wants to explore the world of drinking away from her elders. A boy has been obsessed with the girl for a long time. The movie follows the two young people on their individual journeys through the night in the city.

This is an alternative Japanese animation. I love the first half. The only change I would make is to give the girl an age. I can't tell if she's a teenager or in her late twenties. I don't know the drinking age in Japan. Giving her a specific age would help specify her. I love when the girl is barhopping. I love the old drunk guys in the bar. I get lost as if I'm joining the bar tour. The story does lose the narrative thread during the play. The story gets chaotic although I put some of it on the characters' drunkenness. I would make the girl act more drunk. She had enough to be drunk. I like the movie falling more into the surrealist animation style as the movie reaches its conclusion. All in all, I really like animation style and the pub crawl.
