Takahiro Miki is pretty good at making movies about puppy love and photogenic young people so it’s rather fitting that he adapts to the big screen last year’s popular romantic anime, Blue Spring Ride. This is shoujo material of the purest quality, full of daydreams and rosy blushes. I’m not too fond of the genre, but I wanted to see the film version because Miki’s past projects have impressed me, like the musically themed Solanin which stars Aoi Miyazaki in one of her best performances ever. Blue Spring Ride has a simpler plot than Solanin, though. It’s a straightforward romance that ends in a hackneyed way, but it has many pleasant qualities that I’m willing to ignore some of its… Is Ao Haru Ride movie worth watching?If you want some intense love story, Ao Haru Ride or its English name Blue Spring Ride is the right choice. Story move fast and our heart simultaneously beating with the character. Is Blue Spring Ride worth it?The story is interesting, quite heartfelt, and realistic, though fairly predictable. It's a story of opening one's heart, the value of that, being true to yourself and your own values, and new beginnings. Does Blue Spring Ride have a live action?In June 2023, a live-action television drama adaptation was announced. The series is directed by Masato Kimura and Yūsuke Matsuda. It is set to premiere on WOWOW in Q4 2023 and run for eight episodes, with a second season set for later., with Kaito Sakurai as Kou Mabuchi and Natsuki Deguchi as Futaba Yoshioka. Is Blue Spring Ride a good romance?Even in its short run, the pacing and development for Futaba's and Kou's relationship is attention grabbing. Ao Haru Ride is able to display a ton of the pair's interactions and begin to characterize and develop them as well. A romance show's romance actually being enjoyable is certainly a good sign. |
