Dust Watched: Bakuten!! Movie

Genres: Sports (Men’s Rhythmic Gymnastics), SoL // 1 movie (1h30m) // S01 (x) 

A redemption. We love to see it.

✧  story  ✧

I was, I believe, one of the few people who actually didn’t like the original “Bakuten!!” anime very much. So I was more than ecstatic watching this movie, as basically all of my complaints have been remedied and we got a really nice finale(?) for the show.

The story picks up where the last one left off, a bit before the Inter High Championship. There’s some training and goofing around but red flags are popping up all over the place. Sure enough, when the group was about to give its performance at the Inter High, I checked the time and we were only 20 minutes into the movie. Oof.

A domino falls, and many more follow. The anime’s mood goes into a slow uncomfortable, tense, and depressing downward spiral as nothing seems to be going right. An emotional confrontation where everything just comes to the surface, kickstarts the events that stop our descent into Depression Valley and we get to enjoy the journey of the ascent; the characters finally coming to terms with their situation and feelings, ending us off with a fun final performance. Great pacing all in all.

✧  characters  ✧

I complained a lot about the characters of the senpais due to them feeling like one-gag characters who couldn’t get a second to be *actual* fully fleshed out characters because they had to upkeep a quota of saying a joke X times an episode. And while their goofy ahh designs I’m still not a fan of, this movie GREATLY dialed back the gags which helped a lot. This was essential too, with how character-centric this movie was. The greatest character development obviously goes to Watari, who has the seniority and becomes the new captain with the 3 eldest leaving to start studying for their Entrance Exams. He has no idea what to do and feels horrible about it. Futaba is conflicted and scared while Misato is just silently bottling up his emotions, leading to an incredibly stressful environment. Misato actually barely talks for the first half of the movie so I was kinda concerned that now that his talent isn’t in the spotlight, the story won’t know what to do with him but I was wrong- He is great in the secon half.

And of course, the BasedTM Shiro High members make their (pretty important) appearance too, which was my favourite part from the original season to begin with, so I was happy beyond words.

✧  art  ✧

The movie carries the same quality as the original although with a few... interesting artistic liberties taken. I only wish they had fewer cuts during the performances cause I couldn’t keep track of what was going on.

✧  sound ✧

Again, the music is not my style but goes well with the show and I don’t remember what my problem was with Futaba’s VA in S01 but he must’ve worked it out cause all the VA’s did a great job.

✧  overview ✧

While I quite enjoyed this movie, there was something more that I wanted to congratulate it on. In one scene, Futaba mentions what a shame it is that there’s “no future in Men’s Rhythmic Gymnastics” as you can’t go pro or to the Olympics. This prompted me to look up some info on the sport and read an article that gave me a much greater understanding on the goal of this show.

Not only is what Futaba says true, the sport basically only exists in Japan where it has some ties to Martial Arts.

All sports anime have those “oh no, the senpais are going to College/University, and they might not continue doing the sport” arc but in this case, it hurts more because they don’t quite have a choice. And yet the ending of the anime feels hopeful. That even ifnot in this generation, or the next, but someday, kids will be able to look at Men’s Rhythmic Gymnastics as a viable career.

This show is a love letter to the sport. And I’m sure the creators are hoping for a future in reality the like of what they’ve set-up in the movie. 

My Rating: 8/10

Futaba thinking of Misato before jumping

Again

Shotoro was frozen in place. He felt as if his heart had stopped but blood was still running through his veins at extreme speeds. He's never experienced anything like this in his life. Team after team, lost hobby after hobby, not a single activity has evoked this type of emotion out of him. It feels bigger than him in a way.

The dark haired boy to his right gets up and follows his counterpart down the rows of seats. They share one last look before he's gone. Shotoro never got his name. He doesn't feel too disappointed, they won't see other again.

(just a WIP canon divergent bakuten fic I may or may not finish :))

Ryoya Misato: 

You two were on the terrace of the residence looking at the stars

He was hugging you from behind, while his head rested on your shoulder

“The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?”

 "It is the most beautiful thing that I have seen in all my life"

 You thought that maybe he did not know what that phrase meant, but what you did not know was that his eyes had never left your face since they had arrived at that place

Keisuke Tsukidate: 

You two were in the park at night

You both decided to have a sweet date under the stars so you two could have some time alone outside the hustle and bustle of the city and well sometimes your friends. 

“The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?“ 

“I love you too, honey" 

"of where came that nickname?”

 "Your eyes kinda look like honey under the light of the moon”

“how-“ 

"just- I love you, now accept the compliment and look at the sky because that stars looks like a cat-” 

Shotaro Futaba: 

You two were cuddling in his room watching some videos on YouTube 

when you were almost asleep, you decide to say the words to see shotaro’s reaction

“the moon is beautiful, isn’t it?" 

“eh, what? Oh, that’s how you say "I love you” in other words, right?“ 

"mmhm” you say, almost asleep but curious for what shotaro have to say

 "oh well … I love you too”

Nagayoshi Onagawa: 

You two were listening to music and doing homework in your room, just hanging out when you decided to see his reaction

"The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"

He was wearing his headphones, so you weren't expecting a response from him, so you continued doing your homework.

But when night came, and you were in his arms you could hear a little "I love you too" before falling asleep in the arms of your lover

Kotaro Watari:

You were about to call your boyfriend when you got a call from him instead 

"hello kotaro?"

 "Oh, thank god you're fine"

 "Why shouldn't it be?" 

"I just had a nightmare"

 "Do not worry, I'm fine"

 "I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"

 "I was actually going to call you, but you did it first" 

"Oh! And why?"

 "I just want to ask you if the moon is beautiful, right?" 

"Huh? Wait!! You're saying I love you, right?!"

 you laugh a bit before answering, "yes, I'm saying I love you" 

"I love you too!!"

Masamune Shichigahama:

It was two in the morning, and you couldn't sleep, so you thought, "why don't I call my boyfriend?"

 "Hello, are you ok?" he asked you, a little worried why you were calling him so late?

"Hey hama ... the moon is beautiful, right?"

 "What do you mean? Are you okay?" 

"Yes, don't worry hama, I just wanted to ask you if you think the moon is beautiful, don't worry" 

"Oh well ... yes, it's really beautiful, not like you, obviously, but still"

 "What do you mean "not like you "?

 "Isn't it obvious? It means that compared to anything in this world, you win."

 "God that's so sweet, go to sleep Romeo"

 "yes yes, good night"

 "good night" 

"I love you too"
