I was expecting Shedaba

Just wanted to comment on the cast and filmmaking.

It's really creative to find Aoi Yugi. I heard that she herself does not like this challenge, and many people also say that it violates the harmony. In fact, I think it can be done. The Mori girl's tender face is not to blame, and the interpretation of her voice and behavior is very different from her previous roles, plus makeup.

The male protagonist who heard rave reviews before did not disappoint me. I heard that he is like Kamenashi Kazuya, but his face is actually much more realistic than that. And the unexpected is the performance of the young and old, which is in line with Kenshin. I chose him because of his calm aura and his sometimes heartwarming and sometimes fierce acting skills, not his appearance. The figure that can be pushed down by reaching out, and the action scenes are not ambiguous, so hard work!

Kaoru's appearance, the Japanese people still love bun-faced girls and deserve respect. Maybe she was chosen because of her two strong eyebrows, which gave her round face some recognition.

The kitchen is very engaged in the part of eating meat, and it jumps out of rigid expectations.

The OST is very powerful and makes the story believable. The action scenes in the front deserve the most credit, and the last few scenes were solid, fast, and sharp. As a big country of martial arts films, of course we can do it, but we don't have such a high-level soundtrack.

Judging from the emotional intelligence of the production team's casting, I was looking forward to Shedaba's appearance. However, Zhi Zhixiong and other characters in the back are also curious about how to balance the crew.
