Odoru daisósasen: The movie 3

I watched this movie again after a long time and I liked it. Yes, it's long; yes, it's chaotic (anything from the series once called The Spirited Criminal Investigative Network couldn't have been otherwise); yes, it’s length may not ultimately have given it the impact it deserved, but it just made sense to me, even if others haven't seen it or were disappointed with it. I had fun with them again. They weren't different after all these years; even though they have different ranks they are still the same, their characters, the traits and goals of those characters are the same, they still hold to the same principles and tenets, and I think that’s great. It's not that the characters don't evolve and shift, they just evolve within their set values. Anyway, it was a mess that they eventually cleaned up with a broom and dustpan. But it's a mess whose effects will reach into the next episode. A weaker 4 stars. Not to mention that it really is the perfect movie to revisit after a long time. It definitely won't stand out if you watch it right after the other one – I’ve tried that. (26.08.2021)
