It was certainly a movie

I like the first part, but after the whale thing happened I really checked out mentally

if only haku were there

if only oshtor was there

Plotwise it was quite a lot less flashier than I expected. First part is, okay, guy gets a second chance at life kills a dude and runs away from the yakuza with his crush and another girl and that's a cool setup, but then they get into the whale and it's identical to any other instance of people getting stuck inside a whale and there's really no point to it, it totally drops the plotline for no real reason when it could've done so many other things and I don't understand why it went with this one specifically. They spend like half the movie in there or more, and I don't feel it added any more to its message than what the afterlife sequence did. They're fucking around, metaphorically and literally.
And then it ends. It shows you the possibilities of the future, and flashes of everyone's past lives as if it could've focused on that if it wanted to, it's simultaneously kind of superficial and one of the best parts of the movie because at least it implies a story. It was okay, the visuals were neat.

The manga doesn't seem to particularly popular, since sites like Bookwalker and Booklive are showing me some shoujo of the same name when I look up マインド・ゲーム, though it's there used on Amazon (also in French).
