Richard Eisenbeis, a reviewer, recently assessed the anime film “Make a Girl” and shared his thoughts on it. The film follows the story of Akira, a teenage genius who creates a girlfriend named Zero using the power of science. However, the premise of the film raises several issues, including the lack of societal backlash to the creation of life and the inconsistent tone of the movie. The review highlights how the film explores themes of free will and love but fails to fully develop these concepts, leading to a lack of depth in the storytelling.
Despite its drawbacks, the film has some interesting elements, such as the parallel struggles of the hero and villain, both grappling with understanding Akira’s mother’s work. The exploration of different forms of love, including romantic and familial, adds depth to the narrative. Visually, the film is a mix of 3D animation that occasionally resembles traditional animation, with some standout action scenes but also noticeable inconsistencies in character detail and animation quality.
In conclusion, while “Make a Girl” presents intriguing ideas on love and free will, it falls short in execution due to its undercooked premise, inconsistent tone, and unresolved themes. The review gives the film an overall grade of C-, citing its potential but ultimately poor execution.
