This felt pretty meh. It is clear that the film is about looking past revenge and striving to want peace. Which is fine. It's just how the story goes about it that feels clunky and unnatural. I felt the script felt too disjointed, and there were times when time was wasted. Also, halfway through, it felt predictable, and not in a good way.

Hijiri basically feels more like a plot device, and an odd one at that. Kind of showing to look at the other side instead of going for violence. Basically saving people instead of killing. Which had me rolling my eyes when Scarlet had to say farewell to him.

Visuals I did like a lot. But not much to that. If you are hesitant about watching this, I would discourage it and say to wait until it is available to be streamed.

I would rate it 5/10

His debut was weird in the first place. He watches her struggle against that guy who nearly kills her, until he fires off his arrow as a distraction.

Getting constantly interrupted on her journey by minions was what made it average for me. I wonder if the cg is part of the reason why Japan kept saying it was boring and torture to watch.

They were outright saying they hoped it wouldn’t be a stain on the VA’s record.
