So I stumbled across a tweet this week which reminded me that JFF Theater is a thing. They rotate through different movies every few months. So I just watched "Let's go karaoke" (the 2024 live action movie based on the manga... which I haven't read).

It was really good!! I will probably write an actual review soon.

Anyway, I can't watch any Japanese media without recognizing at least one actor in it from something else. So I yelled "Minami?!" when Yagi Miki shows up within the first five minutes 😂 (Minami is the name of her character in Kamen Rider Zeztz. I recognized her voice immediately lol)

Also, the guy who plays Haruno in Ultraman Blazar is in this movie for one scene too 😂

The movie is so fuuuun :D Crunchyroll has the anime too, which is just 5 episodes and different enough to be interesting!! I haven't completed my manga reading either 😅

I still have a few more movies I must watch before they rotate them!!!

It was great! The two leads did such an excellent job. I was really impressed with Satomi. I'm curious how this differs from the anime (I don't have crunchyroll 😭)

Yeah I'm gonna have to watch more soon before they disappear. Do you have any recs?

Boooo I hope maybe the anime is available elsewhere too where you live!!

I watched Thermae Romae on the JFF website today and laughed SO MUCH XD It's not a movie that takes itself very seriously, and has no problems making fun of itself either. Super fun. I remember when the manga was popular and there might have been an anime too, but I hadn't seen either. I'm hoping to watch Confetti next!

kalloway mentioned it on their journal yesterday and I'm intrigued by their description. Maybe you will be too! :D

🤞🤞 I'll dig around and hopefully be able to find the episodes somewhere!

Thermae Romae! I remember when this movie was first released but I've never watched it. I should bump it up to the top of my to-watch list XD I wanna enjoy a funny one for sure! Confetti also sounds real interesting based on that post you linked 👀 Thanks for sharing! Happy watching!!
