<Audience Comments>
■No. 1 "Detective Conan: Zero no Shokunin" 94.0 points
The tension was so high that there were explosions, and I was on tenterhooks the whole time. Amuro Toru is a relatively new character, and since he was pushed to the forefront, I got a good idea of what kind of person he is." (25 yrs. old, female)

The movie was very well done.

The film is a story about solving problems specific to today's IT-enabled society, and I was on the edge of my seat to see how it would help, and the punchline at the end was very good. I was on the edge of my seat wondering how he was going to help her, and the ending was very good. I also felt love for Kogoro Mouri because of his good relationship with his wife.

No. 2 "Crayon Shin-chan Bakumori: The Movie! Kung Fu Boys: Ramen Deran" 93.1 points
It was fun to see Shin-chan, Masao and his friends doing the Puni-Puni-Ken. The character that surprised me was Ran-chan. It was fun to see Mya Zong in the movie.

Masao suddenly made a cool face and it was fun. I want to learn the cat's paw repulsion in the "Puni-Puni-Puni-Ken" because it's so strong! The dance at the end was amazing.

I watch Shin-chan movies every year, and this time I felt that Masao was the shadowy hero. I liked how the least talented person became a hero. It's just like an old kung fu movie, so I recommend it to kung fu fans.

No. 3 "Grandma Road" 91.3 points
I was reminded of my own grandmother while watching the movie. The aisle scene at the end was very moving. It was a warm movie about family love, and it made me want to cherish all my family members" (21 yrs old, female)

'There were things I learned and it was heartwarming. I liked the fact that it was not only about family problems, but also about love, and that it was portrayed as it is without any embellishments. It gave me an opportunity to rethink my way of living and thinking.

I felt a genuine connection between the grandmother and her grandchildren. There were scenes that reminded me of my own grandchildren and made me feel various emotions. I got emotionally involved with the grandmother played by Mitsuko Kusabue, and I cried.
