Ya Boy Kongming! Road to Summer Sonia

I love both the manga and the anime for Paripi Koumei, but this was... not good imo. I understand that cuts and changes have to be made to fit a 12-episode show into a 2-hour runtime, but some of the cuts are nonsensical. I mean both that they left things that are just filler for the scene, but then either condense entire episodes into a 10-sec montage (and then STILL leave out scenes! the entierty of Kongming+Owner talking to Jet Jacket from episode 3 is just... gone. not even really touched upon in the short montage), or cut it entirely. Not only that, I also meanit literally. Ther were several places where they edited the shot in ways that don't make sense, like cutting from Koumei making one expressions, doing a very badly cut to what's clearly a different scene, and then show him making another expression. They removed a lot of things that add depth to all the characters, or gloss over them in a way that it just feels rushed. So yeah... I can't recommend it. If you have already watched the show, there is nothing in there (other than the tv-ending being played with new animation with the characters on stage), and if you haven't, you're way better off watching the show. This is 2 hours I will never get back.
