Hello Koji Shiraishi! The opening of the video is the appearance of an eldritch god over Tokyo, followed by a bespoke intro courtesy of Tashiro. And, honestly, after just watching Occult, seeing Eno appear was like an early Christmas morning. Watching Koji Shiraishi commit a sex crime to save Kudo and Ichikawa was, admittedly, less like Christmas morning. Poor Tashiro is being tortured by a deeply evil man who happens to be trying to save the world. But despite Tashiro/Shiraishi becoming a rapist/murderer in the process, the moment when Kudo and Ichikawa burst back into the world is actually an awesome moment. Even above and beyond that, the profoundly healing moment Kudo shares with his parents in Ichikawa's body.
It really is kind of funny that the biggest scumbag of all time, Kudo, is the only hope for the salvation of the entire world. There's something fascinating about the absolute amorality of magic and fate in this world, that right and wrong have nothing to do with saving the world.
Also just really incredible to end your film titled Final Chapter by saying it's absolutely not the final chapter. It's a singular experience watching these films, and I mean that literally. There has never been anything else quite like this. Sure, there's every other film in Shiraishi's catalogue, but none of them get the chance to spend 7+ movies building up an insane overarching narrative (yet). And, of course, other filmmakers make horror mockumentaries and found footage films, but they're all trying to do wildly different things than this series accomplishes.
This is legitimately one of the most ambitious projects ever recorded, which is both absurd to say and, I think, plainly true.
Oh yeah! This is my 400th movie of the year, which means that I hit my goal!!
said while brandishing a knife at Tashiro: "I am grateful to Tashiro from another world, and have come to return the favor."
