Neo Yokio (2017)
Remember to bring a big toblerone to read all these 1 star reviews
It's understandable that a lot of people didn't get what this show was trying to be and voted 1. Yes the animation wasn't the best, yes the voice acting was equally not the best.
If you grew with animes in the 80s and 90s, it's likely that you will get at least some of the tropes and references this show is making fun of. And speaking of references, it's full of them. Some of the more obvious being from Ranma ½ and Sailor Moon. Toss in a mockery of Taylor swift and Ralph Lauren, and you're set. It manages to be a parody without losing its own identity.
I don't think it's for everyone, but I had a blast with it and I hope there will be more of it.
Now let me go enjoy my big toblerone.

Incredible use of music
Whilst I don't want to talk about the characters and story itself, this is the first movie that made me feel like I had missed something as I finished watching it. It bothered me throughout the night and I simply had to re-watch it and pay attention to what I missed.
The music. Albeit it's not the best music, that is countered by its usage throughout the movie. It was so masterfully done that if I believed in review ratings, this aspect of the movie would be out of the chart. I simply had to pay attention to it the second time and why it was so impacting and so easy to miss at first. They used it in subtle and more deliberate moments. Of course, the more deliberate moments are indeed marking, even presenting music with lyrics during dialog and yet it was incredibly timed to the point it complemented the dialog.
There are other reasons to watch this movie, allegories and some very memorable scenes. But if you're going to watch it; Pay attention to this. You don't want to miss it.
