About This Movie

Bakeru-kun, this quirky gem from 1987, is a TV movie that really captures the essence of its source material. The tone is lighthearted, yet there's a playful absurdity that runs throughout. The characters are charming, with performances that often feel genuine, even when the script leans into the outlandish. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to its whimsical nature. Practical effects are a standout here, lending an authenticity that’s refreshing amidst the wave of CGI. The themes revolve around friendship and the ups and downs of growing up, all wrapped in a comedic package that’s unique for the era. Definitely a curious piece for collectors with a taste for the unusual.
