Karo: What It Is:
A scifi anthology movie featuring three segments based on short stories of Katsuhiro Otomo.

What I Think:
'Magnetic Rose' is by far the strongest segment, the incomparable Satoshi Kon was involved in this scene and it shows. The guy really likes his dream/illusion stories.
'Stink Bomb' is a stupid story about this guy who turns into a living chemical weapon that for some reason doesn't affect him and everyone's attempts to stop him are as inept as Trump trying to stop the coronavirus and I guess this is supposed to be funny or whatever.
'Cannon Fodder' had some potential with the world they had created, but it felt that by the end they had done just about nothing with it other than make some vague point about the futility of war, and I was disappointed greatly.
With such a large variation in the quality of the segments, I can't really recommend this movie as a whole. Maybe just watch the first part and call it good.

Score: 60/100

Jona: This is hard to rank due to this movie being three very different parts. The first part is just fantastic and has a great spooky atmosphere. The hallucinations are so fascinating to watch and the reveal of the fate of Heintzs daughter is quite emotional. The second part is a lighter affair despite all the deaths in it. Its a bit too long for the joke it makes but at the same time, its pretty funny seeing what length are gone to stop Nobuo. The music is pretty great in the segment too. The third one didnt do much for me story-wise but it looked good and I liked that it looked like it was one take. The movie as a whole is pretty enjoyable despite the contrast in segments.
