My introto NWR who must be notorious in the film universe, at least of a subset. It was slow. Too many rotating pan shots which were overly "arty". Overall, I liked it but was tempted to fast forward though several tedious scenes. It was a beautifully shot film though, with atmospheric lighting. I was pulled into a strange world where I absolutely could not tell where it going, like a mystery. The last two episodes were completely different and some of the underlying plot revealed, at a faster pace. I was upset at the end because it left so much hanging like a setup for Season 2.
I would like a second season. To carry on the plot. And actually have Miu speak more. She is silent most of the scenes. Just stares at the other characters. There is much horror from the total evilness of most of the main characters. Miu has some sort of mystical powers. You are left hanging as to what those are until they are shown a few places. They make you root for her though The origin of her powers is never revealed nor is how she gained amazing martial art kick ass prowess. Somewhere in her past, which is hinted at but never shown. When asked one time she gives an answer which is probably just an absurd one. It seemed out of character for what she said and how she said it. So the audience won't be satisfied with that answer. At the end a big scene is a mystery too and must be related to her previously life. This is never explained and it did not contribute to a planned piece in the puzzle of the scenes before.
And then it ends. Without giving any answers, or even hints to answers. I really wanted to know after investing so much time in the film. And, no hint as to a continuing season. The reviews above would not seem to support a need to produce another season. So it was an intro to NWR and not a happy or sad ending.
