The title is actually my biggest feeling hahaha, but I still have to analyze it in a serious way~

In fact, the film is still passable in all aspects: the
structure is reversed. At the beginning, it shows the identity of the male protagonist and the ending of the game, and uses some small details such as comic characters and scene clues to lead the whole story. Generally speaking, there is no innovation in the structure, but it is quite stable.
The characters are also full. The protagonist of wise man has been brainwashed into an otaku who suffers from a strange disease that cannot leave the town, and the heroine who is full of CP with the male protagonist and has been reluctant to speak. The female boss protects the cubs, the male boss of the female boss is a villain, and their big boss is wise and foolish. The little ones (take Crane and Crazy Laughter for example) are full of personality, one is paralyzed and the other is laughing wildly. However, after reading the whole article, I still think that the role of the former subordinate of the female boss is the most outstanding. This character appears at the beginning of the chapter, and the several choices made after that affect the development of the plot. Through his micro-expressions and some details, you can see The great wisdom of small people.
The fighting scenes are quite enjoyable. It's just that the effect and amount of R-level plasma are still weaker. Some of the special effects of the shots are psychedelic, and the bullet that forcibly bends reminds me of Tear Devils... Several shooting scenes wanted to show slow motion, but the processing was not obvious. There is a feel that depends entirely on performance.

The first half and the second half have an echoing "tree" metaphor, which in my opinion is extremely embarrassing.
The psychedelic fluorescent room scene in the middle is good, and it is really eye-catching when watching it~
The most impressive is the last fireworks. Although it can be expected, it still feels really dazzling!

The overall viewing experience is still good, and I got a lot of stalks. By the way, I wish the mainland version not to be deleted beyond recognition.
Another brain hole, if Mike and Phoebe switch roles, it is a textbook for a warm man and a woman. (wit as me)
