Promare (2019)
7/10
Flashy and visually stunning
12 September 2022
A solid movie. The plot leaves much to be desired, with a generic "Fight the Powah" theme that's better suited with Gurren Lagann (and I'm not just saying that because Galo looks like Kamina, despite Studio Trigger claiming the looks are coincidental). Major events were predictable, particularly with the climax.

I wish Trigger put as much effort into the story as they clearly do with their signature animation style. Everything is all chaotic and action-packed, which made me enjoy things like Panty and Stocking, Kill la Kill, FLCL, and of course, Gurren Lagann in the first place. But (and I will sound a bit pretentious saying this) a little substance wouldn't hurt anybody. There's a lot they could've done more, particularly with delving deeper into the conflict between Burnish and humans.

Overall, pretty cool. Signature Trigger.
