The performances have this delightful energy, and the pacing feels brisk, almost frenetic at times, which suits its comedic nature well. There’s something to be said for the practical effects used, giving it that authentic feel of the period, and the overall atmosphere feels very much like a snapshot of Japanese culture from that era. It's one of those films that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly silly.
