    I have seen neither the original Deemo story nor the movie one, but before that even people explaining Deemo's lore make me feel shocked at best. It was THAT kind of a story.
    To be honest the original one could be too open-ended, due to the lack of ANY narrators, maybe that's why the movie one was crap. But once you understand it, the original story is and will still be the masterpiece.

    I remember crying a few times while I played deemo (yes, unlocking marigold was a fun experience) so I was really happy when they announced that they were going to make a movie
    but then after I watched it I walked out with a weird sense of dissapointment, and this video really explained why I thought the movie was kinda meh in comparison

      I personally didn't watch the movie (we literally don't have it here help) but from what I have seen before this, I half-assesly guess that the movie sucks. I feel bad that you had to spend to watch this train wreck. The story is ok, but man the original story really didn't have anything to build of off in retrospect.

    I was so excited when the movie was announced, but the controversies surrounding Rayark killed my appetite for it. I guess I dodged a bullet, but that doesn't make me feel any better. I love Deemo 1's story so much. It's such a nice, simple and sweet story accompanied with top tier soundtrack and gorgeous art direction that made the game feels like a story book. Fluquor still makes my eyes watery. No other rhythm game, or any game really, had made me fall in love this way. So it really sucks to hear that the movie didn't do it justice.
    Anyway, welcome back! And that's a really dashing outfit you're wearing.

    • @Julton
      @Julton Год назад

      @@teodoricusslack4524 A little bit late, but there have been two big ones in recent memory for me at least. A while ago, Cytus 2 introduced a sort of gacha system for cosmetics and I THINK some songs might also have been locked behind it? You also had to pay to unlock the gacha system to begin with. This on top of the already pretty hefty cost to unlock more songs to play in general had a lot of people unhappy about it.
      The most recent big controversy (within this year) I can think of is their use of A.I. art. There were rumors flying around of Rayark laying off a lot of their artists and whatnot and using A.I. instead, but Rayark denies the part where they lay anyone off. Of course, there isn't any real evidence on either side, or at least none that I have seen. They did make a statement saying they will continue to use A.I. art though.
      There's a couple of other controversies but I'm pretty foggy on them. One i remember is one of their bigger composers, KIVA left Rayark and made a statement saying they decided to leave after seeing changes within Rayark they didn't agree with. There was also something about the whole Hong Kong ordeal as well iirc.
      Basically, they've had their fair share of controversies but unless you were actively in the fanbase there's a good chance you've missed some.

    Thank you for the movie review. I think this is the most attention the movie has ever gotten, a movie I feel would've been better as a shorter OVA like Totsukuni no Shoujo (2022). That being said, I'm upset that no one ever talks about the Forgotten Hourglass DLC when people talk about DEEMO's story (except the one extremely brief RUclips comment mention). Contrary to popular belief, the Forgotten Hourglass is the actual conclusion to the story.
    Spoilers for the entire story below.
    What most people miss about the ending to what is basically the 2nd chapter of 3 is that the Masked Lady (Celia) is another Alice for a reason. She is the part of Alice that did not want to wake up and wanted to stay with the last figment of her brother she had left (makes extra sense with the PS Vita's "After Story"). This means that a part of Alice did not want to confront the reality that her brother is dead (which makes extra sense when you read the light novel I know it's stupid segmentation). Even knowing it's a dream, Celia wanted to not wake up. The implication? Alice dies in a coma. That is the actual significance of the reveal being a dream in a hospital bed (as unrealistic as that is shut up).
    The Forgotten Hourglass continues after Alice waking up in the hospital to answer an important question: How is she doing now? Because obviously, Celia did not get any resolution whatsoever, which means the part of Alice that continues to grieve is now just left in the darkness trying to be suppressed. This means Alice will not get over her grief, which occurs over her lifetime until adulthood, until she reconciles with that part of herself. That is what the Forgotten Hourglass is about and what DEEMO truly is about: taking care of yourself and listening to parts of yourself that feel hurt or not listened to. Only then could Alice, over multiple playthroughs (symbolic), slowly but surely be empowered by memories of her brother, rather than held back by them.
    Of course, the anime movie completely ignores that like everyone else ignores the Forgotten Hourglass because Rayark is the worst developer known to mankind (markets the Hourglass as "an alternative retelling" except in the app update section as a "conclusion", releasing it after people thought the story was done in 2.0, PAYWALLING THE ENDING, and designing the game to make the story as obtuse as possible). I was hoping the anime solved this problem by adapting all the DEEMO stories that were segregated across different mediums and languages, but then it decides to betray the game's own message by summing up Alice's experiences as, "oh, I completely forgot about that. Well I have friends, now, so it's all G lmao xd".
    Thanks again for the video.

    • @dado__
      @dado__ Год назад +21

      I gotta say, I feel that the "Celia is the part of Alice that doesn't want to confront her brother dying" is super obvious to me as someone who never played the game and is having the plot summarized (which probably helps a little). It sucks that the Forgotten Hourglass seems to have been marketed so badly, because it looks like a lot of fans would have loved it.

    • @cranoldelune
      @cranoldelune Год назад +1

      Ooh my that was a very interesting comment to read. Honestly, before this video and comment I COMPLETELY forgot the Forgotten Hourglass was an actual thing, as I really never understood what it really represented. But honestly all you said makes sense, and it makes even more sense because, in a certain room, in the last gameplay (of the og game not reborn), you can see Alice and Celia holding her hands together (sprite is easily findable on DEEMO Wikia fandom (by memory)). And when you click on them, you can trigger a dialogue, in which Alice basically says to Celia that she's conscious about the "truth" of Hans being dead, and that she's willing to overcome her grief alongside with Celia/she's willing to help Celia to get over the grief.
      Honestly, though, such a shame on me to not have known about Celia being Alice's alter ego before this year (I played the game since 7 years ago or shit help) and not knowing about DEEMO's beautiful message either before today. Thanks sm for explaining it 🙏🙏💖💖

      @@cranoldelune Really happy to read this! And yeah, it's unfortunate the game doesn't tell it the most clearly, but it is there. An example is that there are 2 more interactions between the Little Girl and Celia before the one where they hold hands, and the dialogue is about trying to understand each other but not having the courage to speak about it with each other, getting Celia's side of it all. This is among other symbolism, like the Castle being much brighter to represent Alice's improved state of mind since waking up. It makes the DEEMO anime that much more upsetting, because they truly could've done so much more with what actually is there, but chose not to. *shrug* As long as the story can be known, that'll make me truly happy, so it was good reading your comment.

      @@Cheeseskates yea! Honestly, even if it's unfortunate the game doesn't tell it clearly, I think it's also kind of.. a great thing ? Because there are people who still really enjoy the game while just knowing about the "general" story that is told in the cutscenes (Deemo sad story like Deemo is Alice's dead old brother etc etc). But when you get to know more lore about Deemo (e.g. numbers for hospital adresses, grief/overcome references, and the "duality" between Alice and Celia), it makes you like the game EVEN MORE, like.. the lore hits you like a truck... But in a good way. The fact it's not clearly told but instead insinuated makes the game even more "poetic" and beautiful somehow. Also, I totally didn't know about that interaction between Alice and Celia!! Thank you for telling me about this, you just boosted my love for that game lmaooo

    3:38: The DLC isn't much but it's about Alice reliving her experience in Deemo sometime after she was discharged from the hospital because she couldn't get over with her brother's death (but it's basically enacting the same thing, just that the world become more brighter now). At the fourth time you cleared the story, Alice eventually got over with her brother's death and moves on (and you get Marigold for it)

    the biggest crime of the movie is the fact that the farewell part did not have goodbye playing. like, that song is a big part of why that scene is really emotional, why did they replace it with a somewhat happy sounding song???
    imo they should've made the movie as a mostly wholesome fantasy story. just put the hints the game gave you somewhere, give the ocs + mirai actual funny hijinks than just "WOAH COOL SONG!" for the fillers, and remove the alive scenes, i think the movie would be at least decent

  • @liu7052
    @liu7052 Год назад +16

    Honestly if people want to learn a bit more about the Deemo 1 lore, I would recommend checking out the Deemo mangas (yes, there are 2 manga series about Deemo) rather than the movie. There's Deemo - Prelude (which is a short prequel to Deemo 1, hence Deemo's early background) and it's actually pretty good in my opinion. There's also Deemo - Sakura Notes (which is currently in a slow production I think) that pretty much takes stuff from the Deemo Movie into manga form, except probably handled better. Still not enough chapters for me to tell, but I at least prefer Sakura Notes manga over the movie for now.

  • @AntiTako

    Movie was rushed in some parts and others were dragged on for too long. They actually had enough material to make a 90 minute movie without the out of coma scenes. In the game there are a bunch of rooms that unlock which they could have taken their time to explore for 60 minutes and make the last 20 minutes about her going to school, making friends, graduating from college, and then playing "Deemo goodbye" in a recital.
    Also, I wouldn't have minded the Toys if they didn't talk, there was no dialogue in the game. Light voice acting on the movie should have been the move.

    This movie should've been 30min tops, no dialogue whatsoever not a single word, no extra characters, no real world sequence. Also, the 3d animation should've been painted over with some 2d elements, lots of projects and studios do that. Then it would've been a compelling fully animated short film of a musical, fantastical world masking a more discordant, darker reality. Short, sweet, simple.

    I know about The deemo movie but I did not expect to be that bad
    but lets don’t forget that Deemo had a light novel(only In Japanese and Chinese)
    While the book has a lot of pretty illustrations and sibling bond moments of Alice and Hans
    The story also explains Alice and Hans are orphans because their father passed away due to illness and the mom decided to follow the father, leaving the housekeeper in the house to take care of 2 kids💀
    I really dislike that part
    There’s also a deemo manga talking about Hans decided to get a part time job due to being broke but I didn’t finish reading the whole thing
    I guess Rayark tries to milk the Deemo universe but it did not end well
    Regrding Rayark, Rayark has been going downhill as a lot of the talented people who used to be in Rayark left
    Rayark games had a lot of problems too like you cant transfer your files if you’re changing from apple to android(android to apple too), Voez’s story didnt even have a proper ending, cytus 2 Ai art problems and there’s probably more
    Implosion was supposed to have a movie as well but it has no more news since they finished the kick starter since 2015ish
    As an Ex Rayark fan, Im really disappointed with Rayark
    But I’m still happy that I got introduced into Cytus and Deemo, getting into rhythm games, playing deemo everyday to get good, talking with fans about the games, watching rayarkcon on youtube
    I mean Rayark still gave me a lot of memories, but this is something that you couldn’t go back since Rayark has become the company you’re not familiar with anymore
    I recall reading this comment on Facebook
    “If you are a person who cares about Rayark, you hate Rayark”

    @arudastra4723 Год назад +4

    I completely agree! I purchased the movie on Blu-ray and decided to return it because I really didn't like it. I made a review a long time ago, so here it is for anyone interested:
    This is going to be an extremely nerdy tangent, so here's the short version of my review:
    It doesn't hold up to the original story, the animation is lacking (and in some parts blatantly lazy), and the overall plot has been oversaturated causing confusion as to what the backstory is.
    Now for my longer nerdy tangent (⚠SPOILERS AHEAD⚠) :
    As a faithful player and lover of Deemo (Played the mobile version on Android, Switch, and Vita, as well as the Reborn version on PS4 and PC) I am beyond disappointed in this story for these reasons:
    Masked Lady, the main antagonist of the whole plot is supposed to be cold hearted until the very end. In the PS Vita afterstory, we learn that Alice (after having left the castle) is able to return as the masked lady in an attempt to stop the past Alice from leaving. This is so powerful, she's so struck with grief that she'd prefer to trap herself in purgatory just to be with her brother. What does she do in the movie thought? After giving Deemo a cursed music sheet which destroys the tree, she turns a fucking leaf and helps Alice escape. Like... What the fuck?
    Deemo is also painted as a lazy and unhelpful character. In the Reborn version of the game, Deemo actually helps you complete puzzles, and in Mobile and Reborn he consoles Alice when she cries. But here he just stands and stares...
    The plot clearly hinges on the Forgotten Hourglass endings from mobile Deemo. As you replay the hourglass over and over, you unlock artworks of Alice moving on. She makes friends, graduates, and becomes a pianist. However the movie uses it's flashbacks to give Alice more depth. It takes advantage of the hourglass art, showing us Alice while she's in school and making friends. This doesn't feel as powerful , the artworks could be interpreted as Alice overcoming her sorrow and moving on, while the movie only uses it as a platform for lore no one asked for.
    We are also introduced to a professor, who's sole role in the movie is to plainly dump the entire story in the last few minutes for those who weren't able to put 2 and 2 together in the first 10 minutes.
    Now animation complaints:
    IRL Mirai is animated in 2D. But everything else is 3D. This leads me to believe the movie was originally intended to be 2D animated, but they realized soon in it would be too expensive. So they turned to 3D, which by the way, they rendered all the characters in an uncanny and menacing way. This magical spirit Deemo, the one I cried for in the mobile ending, me and my Brother couldn't stop making jokes about how he looked like he was ready to snap Alice's neck.
    All in all this movie is extremely disappointing for long time fans, and paints the original plot in a bad light for those who aren't aware of the mobile game. I only gave it 2 stars because despite the flaws I still slightly enjoyed it, and the OST is phenomenal. So if you plan on watching this via renting digitally or buying the Blu-ray version, buy the OST instead and please play the mobile game. It's actually been made free since it released years ago. Trust me, you'll have more fun with the grindy tree growth mechanic than watching this.

    The fact that there was actual 2D animation (the IRL cat), and that it looked SO GOOD, especially when compared to the rest of the movie.

    I wonder if its possible to have an Arcaea movie. Obviously, it would be super hard to do, but I think they can do some really really cleaver things with it. Maybe not a movie but a short movie like a full 20 min to 1 hour sort of length movie because 1:30 might be too long.

    Aaaaa welcome back, looking sharp! # I feel like Deemo should have ended with the original mobile game, or maybe reborn. It just felt.... complete as is? I didn't want the ending to be so sad, and bittersweet, but godfreckingdammit I wouldn't change it. It's a real shame that everything afterwards just didn't live up to the source material for me, even Deemo II just didn't grab me at all :(

    Right when you said it was the first rhythm game movie I was about to rush to the comments and talk about the horrific and forsaken movie "La máquina de bailar" but you did mention it! It's absolutely horrible, very cheesy spanish humor from the 2000s (that includes a lot of subtle racism) and the plot is... something. It was an absolute blast to watch it on a movie night with some friends though! Now we always joke about it whenever we see a DDR. Still can't believe how Konami aproved it ahahahahahahha

    I loved the game (I only played the mobile ver) but I knew from the moment I saw the trailer that I would not like the movie. I'll ignore the animation since it's obvious why it's not good. If they were going to draw the story out, I don't know why they didn't continue with the secret after story of her becoming the masked lady and her true acceptance from deemo the last recital

    Implosion: ZERO_DAY died for this 😭
    I still have morbid curiosity for this movie since I was a Deemo player since the early days. I remember the story progressing, players putting together hints (with my favorite being the heartbeat monitor noises and Taiwanese Children's Hospital coordinates revealed by tapping certain objects), and then the grand finale with Mirai and the final message before the credits. But at the end of the day, I feel like Deemo's main story isn't best suited for a movie of this length. It could have made an excellent short film. Hell, it might have even been better if it went the Interstella 5555 route of zero dialogue but had scenes supported by its soundtrack.
    Anyways I believe Rayark's last big "wow" moment for me was Cytus II's 3.0 ending. Things really just haven't been the same, even before there was actual controvery

    La Maquina de Bailar is quite an experience, 0/10 would watch it again due to how shit it is, although good luck finding it, it's basically lost media. I actually learned about that movie's existence due to a poster in my arcade, and since it's one of the few arcades in Spain with rhythm games, they can find some stuff

    Huh... so this is a genre of movie now... 🙃
    ... Actually, this could be pretty cool. I remember this awesome DDR comic where the main characters were also love interests, there was a love triangle, and there was a scholarship involved, and some juicy family drama and shiz. And I kinda liked it. Who knew just adding a rhythm game would make me interested in boilerplate teen dramas. Like a sports movie, but actually good AND I actually know about the 'sport'. I mean... DDR IS a sport, but most people outside of DDR and rhythm games would be like 'pfft, whatever'. Yeah. Rambles. :v
    **finishes video** Oh. Ooooh. OOoooooh, no. They turned Deemo into an old 2000s Barbie movie... Welp, that happened. :/
    -Also, we still doin' NFTs? Who do I have to bully to get this to stop?! >:V-

    @MrB10N1CLE Год назад +1

    The OG story worked because of it's presentation and the overall mysterious but wondrous tone of the game. Stretching it out to a full-length was already enough to kill it, and the lack of budget or fucks to give from the studio was the final nail in the coffin

    Damn, I never even touched Deemo cuz the gameplay kinda just seemed dirty to me when I first saw it. I don't want to devalue the game, that's just what it looked like to me on the surface. I had no idea it even had lore lmao. Anyway, to me, it feels like this movie could have worked if the writers just cared enough. Like, a story about falling into delusion and dreams, and then finally reaching acceptance and returning back to the real world feels like a story that could work really well. That short summary of the game's story already got me hit in the feels a fair bit.

    maan i had no idea there was an ending, a pc/ps4 remake, or a movie lol. I started playing before that big update- which I assume was the one that added the ending lol,(i think there was at the time only 3 packs u could buy) and it was the only game I actually gave money too. I never actually got the tree to grow much, felt it grew really slowly so i lost interest in playing songs over and over. There wasn't enough new stuff being introduced fast enough whether that was story or songs to keep me hooked, which is a shame cause I really did and probs still do like the game. Introduced me to new artists to listen to so that was a plus- such a shame bout this movie tho. Feel it probs would've been better if a group of fans did something on yt lol
