3/5

Never has a film been more deserving of an exclamation mark at the end of the title than this animation from Japan.

4/5

Inventively, this anime mashes together music, fighting, and sci-fi elements to create an often visually stunning adventure.

While Cosmic Princess Kaguya! is definitely not the most accessible or comprehensible movie for the general viewer, it will likely be a homerun for anyone who falls into its intended target audience.

Cosmic Princess Kaguya manages to simultaneously be extremely timely and yet very much timeless.

7/10

Cosmic Princess Kaguya is tremendous for the first 90 minutes. Possessed by frenetic, electrified visuals and heartfelt emotional beats, it’s not a miss, but it’s a shame it comes close to being one.

Cosmic Princess Kaguya! is the kind of animated adventure that leans into the genre's possibilities, seeing physical space as something to be optimised and disrupted.

Initially wasn't a huge fan. It tried to put together too many ideas at the beginning of the movie, but they all eventually worked towards the plot twist at the end beautifully. Overall, it was a really good watch.

Translating an ancient legend into the present day, with all of today's fashions, seemed absurd, but at least it was interesting and entertaining. The conceptual art is just as fans of the genre know it, and they are the ones who will be most grateful.

Animation 5/5 This film`s animation should be illegal. Comedy sceneds, some cartoon tastes, and beautiful scenes, thousands of fishes swimming through the sky everysingle one is so smooth, action scenes was cool too, a mix of goofy with god`s level animation. Story 3.3/5 until the middle it was cool, some good comedy scenes, some a little deep but it was very fun to watch. But on 2nd half they didnt cared much about the other characters, and the pace of the story went so fast suddenly, by saying it was so rushed while the film have 2h is very controversy but, it was. IMO i didnt cared much about this but much people are saying about it and i agreed. Music&plot 5/5 (10/5) Yachiyo and Miku, is very similar to each other, its actually very nice to see yachiyo with a very good start, unlike miku t-t. All the lyrics is so much deep when you know the plot, and they used it so well, when you watch it twice, its so peak… Im not a professional rater and thats why this is a 5/5 for me
