Gekijouban Bad Boys J Summary!

Finally, here it is! A birthday present for you all on my birthday! This is my summary of the Bad Boys J movie! I want to disclaim completely that there are probably some details that are a little off. As I've mentioned before, because the characters almost all speak in some degree of Hiroshima dialect, it makes it pretty hard for me to follow. Especially Shigeoka Daiki, who chose to mumble through the entirety of this movie (not really sure why he chose to do this, as I can usually understand him fine on TV, Kansai dialect and all), made it hard for me, especially since he was a pretty pivotal character. But! I'm generally confident that this is mostly right. So... please enjoy!

Warning! This is a complete summary of the movie, so there are spoilers!! Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled before the DVD comes out (which will probably be sometime in May of 2014, if I had to guess).

All in all, I actually enjoyed the movie much more than the series. I felt that where the series lacked in any dynamic character elements or character development, the movie actually accomplished that in about 1/6 the time. For the first time, I felt like I actually understood the characters' thoughts and motivations, and was able to see them respond to plot points, grow, and change. So while it wasn't as good as the Bakaleya movie, it was way better than the series, in my opinion, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
