Doomtomylo
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Based on what a few people who had seen it told me, I expected to suffer through this and dismiss it, but it turned out to be an onion story, a story where you peel back one layer to find another layer below it, and as you go through the layers you realize they are both the same and very, very different. If you casually watch you might well dismiss a quirky aside in one episode, but if you pay attention that quirky moment turns out to be key to what happens two episodes later, and the story changes and inverts, alters, and morphs as it progresses-- and that is part of the story. I subjected one of the people who had dismissed it to watching again, and noting to her to remember this moment, or that action. A couple of episodes later she slugged my arm and muttered a few things I suspect I did not really want to hear, but then she went back and watched it again, from square one, noting the "things out of place" and connecting another story, hidden below the several stories above it. She's still angry with me, but part of that is that is because she loved the underneath story at the same time she felt the outside story was bland, but as a third story actually liked the changes and morphing that took place. You want to find out, you need to watch, and remember the things that seem out of place. There is a story hidden there.

This slice of life anime follows Touko Fukami whose family runs a glass blowing factory is a coastal town. During the summer of her final summer at high school she meets transfer student Kakeru Okikura who claims to hear voices that tell him the future.Perhaps this is one of those series that is best watched over a short period… I watched one episode a week and found it confusing and rather forgettable. Apart from the main two characters the cast aren't particularly interesting. This is all very disappointing as the series looks great and could have been so much better if the story had been told in a less confusing way.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
