The short answer is it's fine. Sincerely, this was a fine, charming, quaint little film. It has an odd little urban fantasy. It's a coming-of-age story about learning to be more independent, a small exploration of found families and working together, and a quirky twist on shinto-tinged fantasy lore.

Sounds nice right? However, there are a lot of problems here. The problems are more numerous than they probably should be, especially with a really competent team, and a fairly solid director who has performed well in the past. The talent is clearly there, so what happened?

I think it's best to compare this to something like a ...

My Oni Girl is nothing amazing. But still good.

Its about a shy boy Hiiragi Yatsuse who always goes out of his way to help others in order to make friends, but is very unappreciated.

One day he encounters a girl Tsumugi who looks like she's in trouble, so he offers to help her.
Turns out she is an oni (a demon) in search of her mother.
Hiiragi decides to run away from home in order to guide Tsumugi to the Hie Shrine where she may find a lead on her mother's whereabouts.

On their journey they encounter kind, helpful and generous people.

Tsumugi also seems to be pursued by strange ...

Studio Colorido is getting good at making mid movies with somewhat good visuals here and there. The character designs were pretty generic but the white hair and oni horns were a nice touch to make them stand out.
Why this movie was mid? Well the pacing was out of the place, it would have worked better if it was a whole slice of life/fantasy series where they could have fleshed out the adventure aspects of it while also explaining the whole narrative better.

Well, here's hoping that their future works get good, this was better than A Whisker Away (same director) but not Penguin Highway (same screenwriter, ...

My Oni Girl is the second release of Studio Colorido’s three film deal with Netflix, and it’s a moderate step up from the first. It is, as their previous few films have led me to expect, an exercise in convention. Its plot and themes are basic, and obvious. To briefly summarize, our MC is a pushover, and over the course of the film he grows to be more confident thanks to the help of an oni girl, who’s tied to supernatural phenomena that represent his character flaws and the film’s themes. It’s the type of story that’s unlikely to reveal additional depth on repeat viewings, ...

My Oni Girl is vey good movie. If you see this movie clearly then there is a hidden message in it like sometimes we should be straightforward and express our feelings directly to the people. Don't have to hide it just say what you want to. I think it's a very good message for everyone who are watching this movie and who are not. Honestly, animation style is like a Ghibli studio for some reason like in this movie snow god is almost like no face monster in spirited away if you compare it. Well, in my opinion it's a nice movie but sometimes it ...

I was quite surprised to see that quite a few people didn't like it. Indeed, story-wise, it was too normal and had nothing that stood out. However, I feel that this anime isn't that bad after all!

Throughout the story, we will be presented with beautiful animation and some touching scenes. Moreover, this anime teaches us to be open in everything, and also indirectly gives a message that communication is very important in life.

If we suppress our feelings too often, bad things will happen. In this anime, the "bad" thing is that a small spirit will appear from the human body that can invite snow spirits. ...

It's Rare for me to write a review, unless i was completely disappointed in something;

Overall the movie wasn't impressive. The animation was great, can't complain about that. But what else to say? The story is completely a mess. The goal is met, but there isn't really any build up that makes sense. After 30 mins I started watching how long till the movie ends. It was boring.

No spoilers, but you have the ML who is pretty much a push-over and can't express his real feelings. Then you have the FL that wants to find her mom. That isn't much of an issue. But then ...

the first few minutes is one of those situations that you really have to pay attention and understand subtexts to get what the boy is going through and why he has problems with his father, and this conflict is never stated verbally or outloud despite being one of the main conflicts of the movie, even at the end. the movie really believes in the viewer's smartness to get this just by watching and that's super i super appreciated since this is getting rarer in movies, it respects its viewers on this and i love this part of the movie.

after he meets the title girl the ...

"My Oni Girl" is a film that impresses with its technical side and visual beauty. Studio Colorido has once again proven that they can create visually spectacular productions, full of vibrant colors and detailed compositions. The elements of road cinema, fantasy, and romance are well balanced, making the film enjoyable to watch.

Unfortunately, the film falters in terms of its plot. A lack of depth, issues with character development, and problems with narrative pacing, especially in the second half of the film, lower the overall quality of the production. Inconsistencies in presenting the fantasy elements further contribute to the impression that the story is chaotic and ...

□ Visual/Art: 8/10

The Visual of the movie are very well done. The Sun Rise, Sunset, Fireworks and Snowfall are a feast for eyes. The Animation is also very smooth and transition are awesome.

□ Music: 8/10

The Music department was Good. The Soundtrack went very well with the scenes. Both Instrumental and Vocal were soothing for ears.

I can't really put into words how I feel about this film. I didn't think it was bad. However. I wouldn't say it was good either. Kinda just average at best hence my initial review. It feels like a blink and you miss it type of film where if you look away for even a moment, you'll not understand a single thing going on. Character designs are ok, I liked Tsubuki's design. Felt a bit too long and dragged out. It feels like they could have cut at least 30 minutes of the film for the sake of pacing and it would achieve the same ...

An somewhat OK movie to watch with kids. It misses on real depth and character development.

The animation and music was good. The characters were fine but nothing special. Sadly the narrative was mediocre.

Besides the two main characters all other characters had no depth at all. And even the main ones where shallow.

There are a lot of plot holes at the end and no possible explanation whatsoever. The ending felt rather rushed, but before that in the mid section I nearly felt asleep.

I'm asking myself how such a weak narrated story can bring such good visuals, because therefore it lost its potential.

“My Oni Girl” is what happens when You want to do too much in too little time.

Have You read Franz Kafka? He had an interesting way of building his stories and world. Weird things just happened to his protagonists and were never explained. The most known one is “Metamorphosis”. Oh, You got turned into a giant bug but still retain Your mind and sense of self? Yeah… tough shit, deal with it. “My Oni Girl” builds its plot similarly. A lot and I do mean A LOT of things never get explained. In Kafka’s case it somewhat works because the event itself is a gateway ...

Painted Cake.

This anime is aesthetically pleasing and tugs at heartstrings early on. About 20 minutes in, however, it becomes obvious that there's nothing really going on. And I don't mean there's no action; I'm happy to watch a non-action anime. What I'm not cool with is when a movie pretends to have more going on underneath it than it actually does. This is one such anime. For example: the girl is blushing pretty much all the time. This was cute at first, but got tiresome after the 20th iteration.

At the end, all I was left with was a sense of wasted time. Imo, ...

If I could give this a 0 I would. I’ve never felt the desire to write a review until now but this was truly the most bizarre and stupid movie i’ve wasted my time watching. It felt like it was trying to be like a new Spirited Away, but whoever wrote it had no idea how to tell a story or how to interact with other people. The art style was nice but that’s about it. All characters were stupid, nothing was even borderline realistic and I think if you have a brain you’d find it predictable and would dislike it. I’m literally just trying ...

Out of the other 2 ( A Whisker Away & Drifting Home ) , this one is a bit better in my opinion.
That doesn't change the fact that this anime was mid though

***I loved the animation and visuals in this. Pretty clean and beautiful ( the part where hiiragi and tsumugi run across the field of flowers ).

*** The music and the OST were really good too.

*** Loved the Character design of Tsumugi

Now coming to the ones which i didn't quite enjoy much were:

There's a world that is being condensed into such a tiny portion, they prioritize the characters over it and that makes the balance of this story tip-off. There's a big heart inside, but the medium is just too small, the story goes into cardiac arrest so often.

And the main girl, i don't like to be mean, but she never breaks out of that token, FLCL, manic-pixie-girl kind of character that she is. The story could benefit so much more if she be less mature, less collected, and be more akin to her naive age group. She just so hard to relate.

"I'm simping my oni girl" real title.

It's basically like real life but we don't get girl.

He is spineless boy who is keeping his feelings inside and can't say no.
And she is Oni wanting to use everything even this poor mc to get what she wants, at least she learns to appreciate him later.

About story, its not bad but all explanation we get is in the end of movie and movie itself i couldn't feel entertained enough. Romance like any other movie felt really lacking and out of nowhere , just to be here for sake of some stronger connection in movie.

This is good ...

A wholesome, Makoto Shinkai/Gibhli fantasy-type adventure with pretty cute animation. The colors of the world and the characters design are good. They're just paper-thin personalities. The story is your standard roadtrip through Japan with sprinkles of fantastical. It really reminded me of Suzume, but much less weird (I mean nothing beats a simp girl who falls for a chair). The lore itself is alright, although, kinda makes me hate that village.😅 I wish My Oni Girl would have made me feel for more magical about the world, despite the beautiful art.
I'll say this is a good watch with the family. It's not gonna spook your ...

I went into *My Oni Girl* with high expectations because I had never watched an anime with an Oni theme before, and I was curious about how they would handle the romance (plus, the art looked good).

The story starts with a boy who struggles with expressing himself and has problems with humans. When I thought about it, I wondered how they would approach the "Oni girl" theme, but even before the main character's story began, it was already over. Suddenly, he leaves his home and goes on a journey with a girl he just met (not even a day ago), and this journey ...
