Nice......Not for people with epileptic seizures or ADD
1 December 2017 | by See all my reviews

Nice visual movie, but lacks factors that holds attention of preteens and teens. I not going to put what movie is about. Or copy text like the other person did translated from Japanese to English. If have a chance see it.... do so. But don't expect anything but blaring sound and Quick flashes of light one the screen which can be very dangerous people with epilepsy or ADD ..........

I wish this site would. Stop others using multi accounts or paid to post wrong or misguided reviews. Don't trust people reviews when at times either... A.) paid to post B.) given a positive or negative comment or review after they been paid to do said action C.) out right plagiarize other sites reviews and then repost them here

If there are few people post person comments...it's safe there are fake or misleading information about show or movie. This said the other post About movie is just that...beware.
