One of the famous franchises from mobile games. It is directed by Junichi Fujisaku, some screenwriter of Ghost in the Shell and who has written the Deemo: Prelude (manga) since last year. If a brief summary This movie was made for the purpose of people who didn't know or follow Deemo before, as well as to sell it to children because of supporting characters so it helps to avoid the stress of drama silence.

I was surprised how much less current this story felt. I only measured the number of people in the theater that I went to, which is comparable. So let's compare it to the movie Poupelle of Chimney Town that was released in Thailand last year. Compared to the similarity of the overall story and the use of 3DCG, if asked me which overall I like from personal feelings, I would like to answer Deemo actually, the whole story is more full of emotions, using 3DCG more fluid, more beautiful and impact music. But it turned out that Poupelle had a much higher popularity.

Opening up to a new audience is a double-edged sword. that's normal Because it is a different interpretation of the story Deemo, as well as expanding the story, the add-on may look a bit too much.
.
In addition to the soundtrack of high quality that I would like to recommend every 26 songs in the theater, there is also the ending song "nocturne" that is the highlight of this movie, selected at Anime Expo Lite 2020 from 1,400 singers around the world, leaving only one person. Finally got the winner, Hinano Takashima, a 14-year-old girl and Yuki Kajiura to help composer as well.

Deemo: Memorial Keys reflects on going through a terrible past. until making me want to forget that past It's a movie aimed at selling franchises to new people very well. It's a pity that it's still just Deemo. How good will it be?! (That one is a demo...)
