Aiko's Pavilion of Thoughts

This is random, sudden, and very late, I know. But better late than never! I watched the TV series when it was airing and always wanted to watch this movie, especially after hearing how it rewrote the latter half and came out better, but it came pretty late to English-speaking world. I eventually got it, but I didn't immediately watch it for some reason. Why now? I don't know what came over me. I was looking through TV Tropes pages and found it, which reminded me to watch it. It's been so long that I've forgotten many things about it, so I thought it's a good time to FINALLY watch it. So that I can watch the sequel/2nd movie as well.

I know, this post is embarrassingly long overdue. I thought of this in February, but where did that time go?? Truly, time is an illusion. 2024 passed in the blink of an eye, and so did the first 3 months of 2025.
