Otakus in Love (2004)

Rating: 8/10

The Good:

-This film is based on a manga, and the evidence is there: eccentric young otakus falling in love. What more could you want? There's a point in the movie where the main male lead (Ryuhei Matsuda) rolls himself into a ball and rolls down a hill, I mean how amazing is that?
-Many bright colours, always good in my book, and of course extravagant characters and even a manga cult (complete with their own chant and everything) seriously though, this film is amazing, artistically especially, but the actors are great as well.

The Sucketh:

-Ok I admit, to some this film may seem a bit "weird" and eccentric. The story is fairly fast paced as well, so perhaps not the best pick if you've just come home from a long day at work/school and just want to relax.

My tastes can be pretty strange sometimes, but for whatever reason I really liked this movie, again, if you don't mind slightly bizarre, eccentric characters, definately worth the watch.
