Character evaluation

Yamazaki, who is good at making special feature films, has applied VFX technology to many films, including parasitic beast, forever 0, and forever sunset series, leading the audience into the wonderful world of alternating reality and fantasy. Kazuki Yamazaki is Doraemon in the film industry. "Time travel" has always been the most common "theme" in Yamazaki's films. Tears trickling down cheeks. (Sina entertainment review) sham Shah Chi is a strong Japanese film director. His "forever 0" has not only restored the essence of the original works, but also the touching elements of the pictures, which made many elderly audiences and female audiences weep.
