Orny Adams is so much more interesting of a character to follow compared to Seinfeld who is neither funny nor compelling to listen to here where he’s essentially coasting on celebrity to prop up his career despite working out his lackluster routine. Orny is unlikeable sure but I would have preferred a documentary more focused on his struggles to the back and forth of Seinfeld making attempts but being cushioned by his status.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I have complicated feelings about this one. As a fan of the light novels, tv anime, and original movie trilogy, this doesn’t really need to exist. The movie trilogy from 2016/17 did a great job adapting the arc to be supplemental to the monogatari tv series while fresh and inventive in its presentation, and they are a much more complete narrative experience than this new compilation.
That being said, I mostly enjoyed revisiting the story in this edit. It’s removed…
a minutes-long mr.show bit cannot sustain the full 90 minutes but i'm obsessed with the awful british shtick bob odenkirk was doing here
