Canibal (2022)

SINISTRO. AMEI!

❝What do you think when you look at me? I see you as a human being, nothing else.❞
Aquele tipo de thriller que você começa desconfiando de tudo e de todos, tentando não se apegar a ninguém, por que a qualquer momento um personagem pode morrer ou matar alguém.
Uma vila sinistra, isolada, com apenas um policial responsável e vários moradores estranhos. Onde tudo indica que há pessoas canibais. E o fato do nome da série ser Gannibal e não Cannibal, remete ao fato de que tudo gira em torno da família Goto.
Gostei muito do personagem principal, e do ator em si, quero muito ver outros projetos dele.
Um dorama incrível, onde cada episódio você sai mais chocada que o outro, ansiando para o próximo, mesmo estando com o coração na mão.
Não sei se haverá segunda temporada, as cenas pós créditos foram bem chocantes, e trazem talvez um "final" onde é trágico. Mas espero que tenha. Quero o policial se vingando de tudo e todos.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS JAPANESE CRIME MYSTERY HORROR DRAMA

jdramas have been hit or miss for me in terms of production value, story, and acting, but gannibals (2022) is a sleeper hit. with only 2 reviews at the time i am writing this (2/3/23), i am praying it gets renewed for a second season following the ending because I NEED ANSWERS!!!

story:
police officer agawa daigo and his family relocate to an isolated countryside town to fill a recent vacancy in the police force following a sudden resignation. they are greeted warmly by the town's people but coldly from the members of the strange and secretive goto family. after digging into the mysterious cirumstamces of the previous cop's disappearance, daigo discovers that he was last seen on the goto's family premises accusing them of cannibalism. while the agawa's hoped to start over in this small town and heal their non-speaking daughter's trauma, daigo is not someone to let go of things easily, so they are quickly swept into this small town mystery that is way bigger than them.

production/acting/everything else:
as mentioned previously, jdrama's that i have seen have been lacking in the production department. this is not an issue here. the cast and crew is impressive. the screenwriter is oe takamasa who was nominated for an oscar in 2021 for the best adapted screenplay for drive my car. yagira yuyu as agawa daigo gives a great performance, best known for his other role in nobody knows (2004) where he was the youngest winner of the best actor award at cannes.

i cannot recommend this drama enough. the pacing was great as the story slowly unveils itself. i was hooked from beginning to end. i also have never seen an jdrama that utilized a festival / folklore setting.
