What is anime? Through deep-dives with notable masterminds of this electrifying genre, this fast-paced documentary seeks to find the answers.
Enter the Anime is a Netflix documentary that promised an insider look at anime but largely disappointed fans and critics alike. The film is superficial in its exploration, rushing through interviews without depth. The cinematography is serviceable but unremarkable, with standard talking-head setups and some energetic but chaotic editing. The subject matter has inherent novelty potential but the execution is formulaic and feels more like a promotional piece than genuine documentary journalism. The ending offers little resolution or insight. Across all categories it lands solidly below average, matching its poor reputation.
