This is just a spoiler free recommendation
First and foremost, I don't like Kpop. Don't really listen to it. Not a pop person in general. Just listen to a few hits here or there, I'm saying this to highlight I'm not the targeted demographic for this flick. But despite that the premise of this movie, popstars Vs. Demons seemed really intresting to me. So I went in with doubts and walked out with my mind blown. This was one of the best things that came out this year and as far as animation goes, one of the best animated things I've seen in a long while.
That biggest thing that has floored me about this movie is just the sheer amount of outfits the characters change into. They fucking went HAM on their character designs. The quality and phenomenal taste of this animation is just top notch. Sakuga action scenes at every corner.
I can't praise this movie enough. It's perfect from every angle. It's bursting with Korean culture. It's fucking hilarious, the comedy is on the spot. It's taking in aspects from K-movies, dramas, music, fashion. Everthing. The story is also fucking amazing with it's emotional peaks.
The biggest compliment I can give this movie is that it's like capturing those imaginary music videos we make in our heads when listening to music and animating it into an hour and a half montage.
The songs in this movie have potential to be "Let It Go" annoying with the overuse. Because they're catchy af.
I didn't know how bad I was aching for a good chick flick (EDIT: Not a chick flick, my bad. I misinterpreted the term. I meant girl led action movie) until this satisfied that desire spontaneously. It brought back a sense of nostalgia for me of watching Totally Spies for some reason. It's the superhero/ teenager work, life balance vibes that they share.
