Unmasked Noise (2017)

You know what I loved about this movie? Besides Shison Jun who was mah-rvelous again, of course? That there weren't any villains in this. There was no backstabbing, no hidden agenda, no spite. They were all honest to gosh good people, a sight rarely seen!

Even though Mio loved Yuzu, she helped Alice and taught her how to sing. Even though Haruyoshi loved Mio, he wasn't jealous of Yuzu, he wasn't angry at Yuzu for Mio's lack of interest. Even though Yuzu's writer's block was hindering the band's breakthrough, his friends did not pressure him. And Yuzu and Momo, your usual rivals in a love triangle and yet, when Yuzu found out who Momo was, he wasn't angry at him and when he realized how much Momo cared for Alice, then despite loving her himself, Yuzu tried to make her dream come true and get Momo to acknowledge her! And then, when Alice confessed to Momo that in the meantime, while he was gone from her life, she fell in love with Yuzu? Momo stepped back with no drama and no pressure. That was so lovely and actually mature!

What a feel-good movie! It made me feel all mushy and fuzzy on the inside. Exactly what I needed tonight!

Although I've seen quite a lot of negative comments I personally really liked this movie. I haven't seen the anime or read the manga so I don't have anything to compare it with, if I had watched the anime before watching this maybe I wouldn't think this version is that good. I've actually rewatched it twice already, it's become my comfort movie honestly. The acting was pretty good overall I'd say, I thought that the actors played their roles rather well. If you're looking for a nice relaxing watch this is a good movie for it. The story is simple but enjoyable. Overall I really liked it :)
