Movie 7 finally saw the return of Heiji and Kazuha, and they were among the main supporting characters this time.
The movie served as a basic introduction to Kyoto and relationship development for our two pairings (despite the movies not being canon), and I thought the movie did a good job interweaving both with the case itself. The case presented a very interesting and difficult code that is culturally relevant to the city of Kyoto, though I do not know how culturally accurate the movie is overall. Mixed with some traditional Japanese music, the movie tries to immerse the audience into Kyoto, and again, I thought it did a good job at it.
The only issue with the movie is that the action sequences were lacking compared to previous movies, and the movie took a bit too long to set up the case, so this movie is definitely slower compared to the previous movies. However, this was an enjoyable entry with a solid case that should make it a fun time for DC fans. 8/10
