The mids: the music is overused in Instagram and YouTube, otherwise forgettable.
The negatives: some of the CGI was awful. We are expected to believe that the white cat was really leading the MCs to the doors. What about that scene where he threatens to destroy tokyo? How did the cat know that the male lead can be used as a keystone substitute? Nonsense. Initially he was supposed to be the keystone, but then we are told it's the black cat.
The characters are forgettable. It's the damsel and the hero, but gender swapped. The plot is the same old disaster prevention bull from weathering with you and your name. The romance was shoe horned and awful. The side characters had no roles except as plot devices. The abilities of the cats are nonsense. They can possess and send souls into objects? Okay. The MCs also bump into the white cat in the most contrived and convenient ways imaginable.
The white and black cat join the heroes for no reason, despite being portrayed as villains initially. The black cat incites a fight between the MC and her aunt for a forced and pointless reconciliation scene. The doors lead to the afterlife, but when you try to close them to prevent the worm from coming out, somehow the souls of the people who resided in now derelict areas help close it? Makes no sense. Why does the afterlife have a damn worm that causes earthquakes? Why aren't the souls already in the afterlife? Actually the afterlife looked pretty bare, where are all the souls that passed on? Maybe the worm ate them. Pretty terrible afterlife. How is the MC the only Closer around? There's like a million damn doors. The climax had an unnecessary time travel tack on. The MC's mother's fate is never made clear.
The narrative is a complete failure and pretty colours don't solve bad writing. The writer also belongs to the violet evergarden school of making people cry by showing people crying, which is a terrible way to invoke emotion. Waste of time.
