This was honestly a super wholesome movie where Jesus and Buddha are just two bros on vacation in Japan and it was way more enjoyable than I expected going in. Even if youre not Christian or Buddhist you can still totally vibe with it theres nothing preachy or pushy about it at all. Its just these two holy bros experiencing everyday life together and it feels really downtoearth and relaxed. The movie kind of plays out like a series of connected shorts rather than one long story which actually works in its favor. Its like a sliceoflife anime but the cast is Jesus Buddha and its a lot more fun than that premise might sound. The dynamic between Jesus and Buddha is genuinely funny and heartwarming. They have this perfect bromance friendship that makes every little mundane situation entertaining. Theyre always trying to fit in or just enjoy regular human stuff like shopping going to the bathhouse or chilling at home and it all plays out with a lot of charm and some light humor thrown in. There isnt any drama or annoying drawn out expositions and plot holes Its just two bros doing bro stuff which makes it very relaxing to watch The animation is pretty decent too. they definitely have some scenes that seem less animated or they use still frames but it doesnt take away from the overall experience of the movie. it doesnt feel lazy or strange either. It fits the slice of life vibe of the whole movie perfectly which is slowpaced comfy and low tension. The art style is soft and clean and is very pleasant to look at while you are watching it and it really sells ththe slice of life vibe of the whole movie. Honestly I found the visuals very pleasant throughout. It didnt try to go over the top with flashy effects or anything and that made it feel much moree watchable then some other crap Ive watched The music was alright . Nothing super memorable but it never felt out of place or annoyingespecially compared to some other terrible isekai shows Ive watched . Here the ost just supports the laidback slice of life tone of the film and just helps you zone out while watching Theres not much in terms of high stakes drama but its not suppose to because It doesnt take itself too seriously and it overall works great in the films overall vibe .Its not trying too hard or forcing horrible exposition or some cringe revenge plot line or like any other terribly written isekai script. the film purely exists to just watch two bros help each other out. I didnt expect it to be this wholesome and I wasnt expecting much from this movie but it was very enjoyable to watch. I probably wouldnt watch it a second time just because I think one time is probably enough unless I forgot about watching it but I definitely dont regret watching this. It was a nice and enjoyable watch that stands out because of how chill and zoned out it is. If youre ever in the mood for something cozy and different this is a solid pick.
