(Average+) A Whisker Away

Movie in one sentence:
The Cat Returns returns.


Movie in more sentences:
 
High schooler Muge isn't optimistic about her life after her parents' separation, making her the ideal victim for a shady mask salesman to offer her a new life. Of a cat.
When transformed into her new body, she is found by a classmate who opens up to her, causing her to instantly fall in love and see her chance to happiness with him.

But the boy can't stand her human self, making her dependable on her cat mask, but a choice has to be made and nothing is for free.


Fun idea, it's a high "average+", but it still felt lacking. The relationships needed more screen time and the end battle was laughably clunky. They should've made the salesman a neutral party; leave magic cat world and that whole ordeal out of the story.

But well, I was entertained enough to keep on watching and understood, and respected, the dramatic points it tried to discuss. Maybe better as a series, though.
I don't know, in any case, worth a watch.
