This is a slow and contemplative anime drama about a boy learning to become more confident. For this reason, My Oni Girl might be too leisurely to command attention.

While this Ghibli-esque movie looks and sounds great, it’s a difficult watch thanks to its grating characters, plodding pace, and sometimes nonsensical story construction.

Fiction Machine

There are some engaging fantasy elements throughout the film, and a fair amount of humour, but ultimately nothing really shakes the perfunctory nature of the total product.

Rated: 6/10

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

My Oni Girl is a decent movie. If you are someone who can’t get enough of the everyday person drawn into a fantastical adventure...this film will scratch that itch. If you are looking for a film that sets itself apart...this one does not...stand out.

Rated: 6.5/10

It’s never a good thing when an ostensible romance, even one that is more about friendship than love, would be better without half of its central couple.

Ready Steady Cut

By the time you reach the end of My Oni Girl, you will adore Tsumugi and Hiiragi, and while it’s unlikely there will be a sequel (it feels like a one-off), there’s undoubtedly re-watch value.

Rated: 4/5

In my opinion, this movie is trying to go for a Ghibli-style story, but it just doesn’t quite get there. It has a lot of unnecessary scenes, and overall it feels more like a money-making project than a genuine work created for the audience.

it's a good premise and potential movie. the relationship and family conflict between them sounds promising. but the worldbuilding it's too fast paced. The main conflict feels tasteless and not perfectly setup.

It’s not a unique or mind altering plot. But the slow pace, the lack of plot gratification and actually the normality of this movie. Makes it for me one that I would like to watch ones a year. Especially with kids. I think it’s nice that for once a ‘kids’ movie or maybe rather a animation, isn’t full with tension, I think it’s a great movie for before bed, with or without kids. If you need to heal here you go. And nice to see that nice guy gets what he deserves especially because he’s not being a creep or busy with making her like him. Just great realistic and kinda healthy relationships. The part where he surrenders to death kinda heavy tho

Sometimes it was a little slow, but it is still a really fun movie to watch. I definitely recommend it for anime fans.

Many endeavors of the medium characterized charming delight and narrates wonder, but this one, while generally fun and well-animated with moderate engagement over the leisure philosophical addition, gets inconsistently anchored when the conceptual grasp exceeds its realized reach. (B)
