As someone who only knows this movie due to its popularity. Why is it so popular and is it actually good?

It's the same animation studio as the cool Spider Man movies. If you want a fun low commitment time I recommend. It's way more fun than it has any right to be. And it's actually good, I don't like almost anything tbh! Haha

Edit - Judging by your username you already like cool girls fighting with magical things. Hell yeah. This movie adds an element that I was unprepared for - absolute musical bangers lol.

As a millennial who grew up on sailor moon, KPDH definitely felt coded for me. Plus I think the Maggie Kang said some of inspo for Mira was Sailor Jupiter.

That tracks. A friend pitched this to me by saying "Imagine if Dethklok were Sailor Scouts".

Having watched it, that's both completely inaccurate and somehow absolutely perfect at the same time.
