Thrilling enough to move the heavens!

The yakuza part was hilarious and it ended with another solid music video. 7/10

I loved it. Glad to see A-1 animated Saint Young Men. They should make a TV series, but I'm already happy with how the movie turned out.

The longer run time than the OVA lets the jokes come out at a much better pace.

The movie made me really happy, it had the perfect peaceful feelings with hilarious situations. I laughed a lot at the whole yakuza situation as well. So sweet seeing what other people thought of them outside of thinking they were oddities.

i really enjoyed it very much. The chicken, turkey offering themselves. And Buddha kept lighting up.

And his hair! The hair was awfully long.

Quite a lovely movie, in my opinion way better than the ova's as we got a slower but still steady pace and the scenes sure was funny and relaxing at the same time! A pretty good movie in general! Quite enjoyable in general!

I didn't even realize they were making this until I saw the torrent pop up. Glad I watched it. Proved to be much better than the OVAs.

Also did you guys catch this scene? http://tinypic.com/r/jj1w8y/5 I wonder if people really do this, I guess it'd work, but still.

It was funny and when I wasn't laughing I had a smile plastered on my face.

Honestly, I expected something better. The premise was - I have to admit - captivating - when I first read the summary of Buddha and Jesus in the modern world I HAD to watch it.

Then the disappointment came. I was bored, the gags didn't amuse me, duing the whole movie I laughed maybe a whole lot of three times, Jesus and Buddha were rather bland and uninteresting as characters.

Meh, I gave it 5 out of 10.

Buddha is a great swimmer though he had a weird swimming stroke while Jesus can't swim at all that's why he walked on the water as told in the Bible instead! LOL

The summer kids part was really well done juxtaposed against the two divine beings summer festival experience. I remember those rubber band gun made of bamboo sticks, we use to make those when I was a kid too! Then Buddha released his roomful of hair, stuff of friggin' nightmares! I might as well have peed myself while those kids were running shitless! XD

I wouldn't mind this as a longer series at all, either on TV or OVA, in fact I would look forward to it! 8/10

Watching this movie is relaxing and it feels nice on an easy afternoon, or even if not. I think there are three most hilarious events for me - the thrill ride of Buddha, when Jesus divided the water in the pool because he can't swim, and at sauna. It was fun watching this. I don't mind another installment.

I thought this movie was very fun and very cute! Even though I watched it from a friend's ipad without the sound, it did not diminish in quality at all! Everyone's always hurling around insults and having religious battles, but what if the deities people worship are just normal everyday people with normal everyday hobbies? I think the main thing the series creator got right was the personalities. Both characters were extremely kind and caring people, and you see that come across here in their everyday interactions. Not to mention, hobbies like blogging and manga reading! This is actually teaching a great lesson of tolerance to others, all while being a fun and beautiful looking journey through modern Japan!

My thoughts exactly. Bad pacing and bland characters. I would have made them bad ass, fucking up society, using their divinge powers to cheat at life.

I must have found a bad sub, because when they were buying movie tickets, the woman said 8k yen total for the two of them, but according to good old fashioned MATh, it should have been 8,600 yen. BUt Jesus being mistaken for a yakuza under boss was even better. Another thing they kinda did in a not so obvious fashion was the relation to the bearing of thecross as jesus and the yakuza were lifting the shrine at the festival. BUT then worse of all, when the turkey showed up to be cooked, Buddha LIED to jesus about it!!! SHOCK!!!! But in the end it was nice to see this after the two ovas. Blessed be baby.7/10

The gags in here were way better than the OVAs that's for sure. This movie was genuinely hilarious and it used religious jokes and references in a lighthearted and friendly way in contrast to the usual "offensive" use of it in comedy.

Buddha and Jesus being realistic characters like having varied traits instead of a flat personality and kind of flawed but in a good way made me think that it wouldn't be bad at all if they take a vacation down here~

That Yakuza Sauna scene was hilarious lmao Young Boss got outta prison coz of his father xD
