While I like some of the tonal shifts the show takes with the source material, I don't know if I'm completely sold on the immediate upping of stakes the show does from the start.
If I do not see a more headache-inducing, self-indulgent, cumbersome, illogical, and generally exasperating movie this summer, I will consider myself most fortunate.
The results are consistently hilarious, and so Tsukikage Ran works both as a love letter to its source material and a mutation of it, an homage and a sendup alike.
