Complex x Complex

About This Movie

So, 'Complex x Complex' is this quirky little animation that dives into the often overlooked, bizarre obsession of a junior high girl, Yui Kotani. It's strange, really, how the film presents her fixation on underarm hair—especially that of her classmate Masato Takeo, whose, shall we say, impressive growth sets the tone for their interactions. The animation style has a rawness to it, which adds to the offbeat charm. It’s not just about the laughs; there’s something deeper about adolescent desires and self-acceptance tucked in there. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but that just reflects the chaotic nature of middle school life, right? It’s certainly distinctive, a slice of life that challenges norms and expectations. Not something you'd come across every day, that's for sure.
