Dakaretai Otoko 1-i ni Odosarete Imasu. Movie: Spain-hen

It's not bad, it's quite entertaining, but it has several weak points, mainly the animation of the dance scenes and the terrible Spanish. In fact, I think the short flamenco duet that was used as a teaser is 10 times better than what appears in the movie, and it wasn't great either.
However, I think the shading and art style in general is a bit more polished than in the anime. And the story follows the same line that we already saw in the anime, so on that side I have no complaints.
In short, it's not bad, but it could have been better.

It's just more "Dakaretai Otoko 1-i ni Odosarete Imasu." - The only thing that changed was the setting.

It's more beautiful animation (albeit I think it's actually way worse than the series + the dancing is terrible), it's more yaoi and grunting, it's more good soundtracks, and it's more toxic yaoi bs. It has the exact same problematic behaviour as the first one.

For anyone who has read the manga, this follows the spain arc very true to the original. Meaning: yes, that scene is in it.

TW + Spoilers, there is a non-con sex scene in it between the main characters. It's forced, and very ... creepy. Even if the uke had "hearts" in his eyes as he was protesting and crying. He protests very openly that he isn't ok with it, not just the standard Japanese ~yamate kudasai~ schtick.

And then it tries to cover that up through Flamenco dancing with characters we honestly barely care about until the uke forgives him purely with the puppydog eyes.

If you didn't care about Juunta's SA in the anime, you'll probably like this one. But if that scene understandably made you feel icky in Episode 1 - you'll probably not like this movie.

Just chalk it up to another toxic yaoi manga. One day we'll get a decent one, bois.

I mean, this is what it is. I can't say that, if you really liked the series, you'll like this. It revolved around a pretty weak plot that didn't have any weight behind it, so pretty much the whole thing falls flat. The animation has never really been this series' strong suit (though I do still think that the art style can be very pretty at times when landscapes are involved), and adding dancing into the mix didn't help. There was kind of an attempt at intensity by going into flashbacks for Junta, but honestly, I didn't feel like they held up without the support ... of the rest of the film. The cringy interactions between the two main characters is still very present in this film, as it was in the series, and that can actually be a bit of a charming aspect of DAKAICHI, so it was for you, you'll like a decent amount of this film. I will say that the voice acting saved it a bit for me at the end because it brought a lot of emotion to a scene or two that I didn't expect to feel much for (because of the aforementioned cringe). This film did actually leave a nice taste in my mouth, if you will, because the emotion hit how it was supposed to. If I were you, dear reader who liked the series, I wouldn't bother with the movie unless you're *really* invested in Junta and Takato.

It's at the same level of the principal series. I mean, I would recommend it if you really like Dakaichi because It's a long episode of the show. For me was ok, the main characters are not a couple I want to know more about and I only saw this because its the perfect movie to put when you are doing something else. I found forced the main situation because what a coincidence that the country that the main is going to is the same as the country where Chunta grew up. It was just an attempt to feel empathy for Chunta. And I didnt ... want to comment the spanish because I understand that the seiyuus are not native spanish people and obviously they were not going to to speak fluently but made me laugh everytime they talked.

This movie gave me warm feelings. I admit that I didn't have the most positive vibes throughout the film, as I recognize the dancing scenes could have been animated better, and the plot had moments when it felt coincidental/could have been stronger. Although to be fair, the animation team is being faithful to the manga as best they can, so any criticisms of the story aren't their fault. I loved that the 13-episode anime series reduced non-consensual scenes as much as possible (manga had non-consensual moments), and I like that the film did the same.

Story: The story was easy to follow. Our characters are still ... very much in love with each other and are devoted to their jobs. Each job comes with new challenges and demands which they work through. There wasn't a strong relationship problem - the focus was on self-improvement. Through self-improvement, we're also able to have better relationships with our loved ones.

Characters: Our characters are the same as they were from the 13-episode series and we are introduced to new faces in Spain! Junta is quarter-Spanish since his maternal grandfather is [a good-looking and charming] Spanish man. We learn more about Junta's maternal heritage through the Spain arc (including who Junta inherited his stalker side from, haha) and get a glimpse of his childhood, including his childhood best friend.

There was one character in the Spain arc who I adored for being so open about his sexual preferences and being proud of who he was. This series continues to be charming when folks are so open with non-heterosexual folks without fearing the stigma of being othered.

Sound: The ending theme song gave me the feels! Especially those lyrics. <3 The voice acting made simple moments so heartwarming, like the scene before the ending theme song. The scene after the ending theme song reminds us of simple domestic bliss, which was expressed well by the voice actors. You hear the anxieties and their demands and their hopes so well!

Art: The colours were beautiful! I liked the way the scenery in Spain came alive. Otherwise, the art was like what we saw in the 13-episode series.

Enjoyment: I enjoyed the film for what it was. I knew what the characters were like already, so it was fun to see what their next steps were in their careers and relationship. I enjoyed seeing the characters reaffirm their feelings for each other and knowing they were always there for each other.

Overall: This film was not perfect as there were areas that could have been better, as I described at the beginning of my review. I would recommend this film to anyone who watched the 13-episode series and/or read the manga and enjoyed it. It felt nice to revisit our characters and meet new faces. I would be open to seeing Junta's maternal grandparents (especially his hot grandpa) again!

I'm sorry but I gotta say it - I was expecting much more since the series was very good.

How can you come up with idea of movie to be around the dance when you cannot animate dancing at all? The animation was so poor I still cannot belive this is actually in the cinemas. It destroyed the whole movie for me.

It was seriously the worst dance animation ever haha, it wasn't even laughable.

Not to mention many plot holes, but I guess you cannot always skip it.

I think we can also agree that sexual moments weren't satifying at all and thats literally what manga ... is based of.

Suuuch a bad job

I just LOVE these two (≧◡≦) ♡
Just watched the movie.
It was a long-awaited sequel for me and I was smiling happily all the time watching it. If the series showed their daily life and confrontation of characters, then in this movie you will see trembling romance and LOVE! Yes, I agree (with regret!!) that the dance performed by Takato (twice) could have been shown better... But my God! His second dance still made me melt (♡˙︶˙♡) Takato and deep feelings? If you want to see it, watch the movie! An unexpected element was the revelation of Azumaya's inner world. It touched me.
I'm sorry if my ... rating is too high and ideal for this movie, but I left it based on my feelings for these two characters, which have been entrenched since the series.
I'm still smiling - this movie filled me with peace...

I really loved the movie especially since I'm a big fan of Dakaichi... I'm so relieved that the animation finally took out those diagonal lines (shading) on their necks lmao also the animation... I'd say its not that good. Well its a movie so i expected it to be better but I guess its bc of the budget since BL animes are not for everyone. But atleast let us see their dances on full view not only feets lol. Idk but they shouldn't have held back in animating smut heh heh heh overall its so good storywise. I'm happy that they had an arc where ... they strengthened thwir relationship moreee. I'm expecting a season 2 lol
