Takashi Miike's 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬. When this movie gets weird (and speaking as someone who would consider themselves somewhat of an aficionado, it gets *weird*) it's damn near unbeatable - raw delirium, Miike at some of his absolute most Miike. The musical numbers are sidesplitting and actually pretty solid songs in their own right, and I simply can't sing the praises of the batshit claymation segments enough. However - and I don't mean to sound ungrateful for the unique insanity this provides - the 'normal' parts can *really* stagnate. Scenes that should wrap up in a minute max drone on for what feels like ages - nothing like the more suitable pacing of 𝘐𝘤𝘩𝘪 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘒𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳, his other film from that year where scenes flew neatly and snapped together like puzzle pieces (and that one ran nearly 20 minutes longer, at that). But I digress, the sheer lunacy of the last act make its crimes in the structure/pacing department easy to forgive. Shinji Takeda steals the show here for me - going from stereotypical apathetic teen type immediately busting out into over-the-top song and dance never fails to crack me up.
