Elizabeth Garcia But Why Tho? A Geek Community 04/15/2023
NiNoKuni is an excellent adaptation that captures the spirit of the series. Fans of Studio Ghibli films or fantasy animes should absolutely press play on this delightful, whimsical, and emotional story. Go to Full Review

Ni no Kuni is not magical, and therefore smells like something we've all smelled before. Go to Full Review

All in all, the plot is about as lifeless as the animation. Go to Full Review

Aluna U Aug 31 *Ni No Kuni* is a visually inspired film continuing the game’s story, blending parallel worlds with a clear but somewhat shallow narrative. While action scenes and music enhance excitement, inconsistent animation and underdeveloped characters limit emotional impact. Despite some vague story elements, strong voice performances make it an engaging experience for mature audiences.

I wasn't able to finish it in one sitting because it put me to sleep. The animation was beautiful, and it had some heartwarming moments, but the story just wasn't compelling enough to keep me interested. I could see fantasy and anime fans enjoying it, but this definitely isn't the best animated movie on Netflix. See more Hex x @HexOnThat Apr 30 This is a good movie, and the animation at the start, the attention to detail over the character in the wheelchair is stellar. Tho at the very end they seem to push that to the side a bit I noticed, I would've appreciated it better if they had tied that back around at the end as well. It just rlly felt like they completely forgot about it at the end. See more Giovana L Mar 4 É legalzinho,mas não veria uma segunda vez. O plot Twist é previsível,e a animação é mediana, não sei se foi só eu mas tive a sensação de o enredo estar enrolando e dando voltas e voltas, não ficou ruim mas sim maçante. See more Master e @Master451 Feb 11 O filme é muito bom e tem um desenrolar muito interessante, com um dos melhores plot twists que eu já vi. Tive que segurar as lágrimas no final, aconselho muito esse filme. See more Jhosep G 06/27/2024 The animation and the story both felt as if they were uncompleted. Like, what were those beats supposed to be? A little less effort put into that movie would have made nod difference. And, like, the clichés. Half the movie were clichés, the other half was just a poor attempt into trying to get this thing started. Credits just because it was entertained to watch in it's own unique way.
