This movie tells a simple yet deeply relatable story, especially for anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one. Beyond portraying the pain of grief, it offers meaningful lessons on healing teaching us about forgiveness, love, understanding, and the importance of strengthening family bonds rather than holding onto grudges, even in the face of loss and betrayal.

What I especially appreciated was that the film didn't rely on overly dramatic dialogue. Instead, the subtle and authentic interactions among the family members were powerful enough to move me. Their quiet, heartfelt moments felt genuine and left a strong emotional impact. I found myself in tears more than once.

I give this movie a solid 10, not only for its emotional depth and storytelling but also for the outstanding performances by the three actors who portrayed the siblings. They brought their roles to life with such sincerity and nuance.

I watched this movie because I'm a fan of Masaki Suda. I've always considered him a great actor-even when he's in some offbeat or silly films, he still manages to bring depth and authenticity to his characters. In this movie, he delivers once again.

That said, there are quite a few scenes that just don't make much sense. They're executed well, and the cinematography is beautiful-as is often the case with Japanese films-but there was one particular moment (without giving anything away) that honestly had me thinking, "How the hell did that happen?"

Still, as the title of this review suggests, I stuck with it until the end. Despite its confusing parts, the film has enough compelling moments to keep you watching.

Episode 1 started a bit weird for me and there are things in Episode that I hope will be revealed as the story goes. So far the stories and mysteries about demons that the Jinta is solving episode after episode are very interesting for me. The background stories speak of human relationships and human emotions such as greed, love, greed, etc., and how such strong emotions can turn anyone into a demon of their own.

Writing is creative and imaginative as its finest and I always look forward to the next episode.

The drawing and animation are top notch for me. I just wished there's an English dub though.
