Right so when I first watched the trailer of this movie, I was pretty stoked to see an anime film attempting to resemble a well known fairytale for a change. It just looked so eye catching and pretty much very colourful on my rear view. Also the music from Nakamura Kaho was like a breath of fresh air. I mean I'm so surprised that she never been often more anime roles seriously. Characters were meh but you do get the urge to see what's happening because you are wanting to hear more music. To conclude, I did enjoy the movie overall again with its music as well as animation but the problem is that there were just so many missed gaps in the plot that did frustrate me. These will come into spoiler territory as it will be mostly the ending based-
1. The beast himself- I felt that he wasn't given much of a screen time like we only see him saving Belle, dance with her and him roaring at her to get away from him. We hardly get at least a glimpse of his backstory like the whole thing makes you think it's Belle childhood friend but a kid and his brother getting abused by their father.
2. Belles identity - I really thought the whole idea of Belle was that she was going to reveal herself in the end but instead, she was all of sudden was found out by her classmates and the old ladies from the choir. I mean it seemed like they knew before they went to the old skool eh? Confusing tbh.
