This looked like shit.
I watched it hoping it would be shit.
I was wrong.

What's it about?
1910 great flood of Paris
Giant anthropomorphized flea who gets dubbed "the monster of paris" because people are terrified at the sight of him. Sings a sad song about his current situation, singer lady lets him move in with her, turns out he's a kick ass guitar player. They perform together.
Meanwhile, government officials try to hunt him down.
Animation is pretty low quality, but the music is great. The cliches are played surprisingly well.

That sounds pretty cool, I'm sold.
This movie sucked
You think it's going to be about the Flea and the chick, but no
it's focused entirely on the side characters
I think it's on netflix.
I was really expecting it to be one of those hundreds of low budget animated films lurking on there, but I actually enjoyed it.
You didn't get the point?
The title didn't refer to the flea.
>historical piece cleverly dressed around a story about a kamen rider saving the day with music
How on gods green earth did you think this would be bad?
Flea and the chick take up almost half the film.
I only saw the cover and netflix's shitty description.
>Animation is pretty low quality
well it is almost 6 years old.
This desu.
For the time and the budget, it was pretty decent.
Song is pretty comfy OP, thank you.
>M et Vanessa Paradis
I'm sold already.

I catched my mom watching this movie the other day, she loved it.
I still don't know why they didn't use the same voice actor for the flea in the American version. M has such a distinctive voice, and the guy they chose instead is just not at the same par.
That was Sean Lennon.
As in, the son of a beatle.
And he has a great voice, but it didn't fit the character as well.
...
I wasn't talking about that user.
Beatle.
Beetle.

>go to watch film on netflix
>Only in english
Do I lose a lot watching it dubbed rather than subbed?
He's friends with M and they've collaborated, so makes sense somehow.

the music isn't as strong but it's worth noting they did their best to mach the voices as much as they could as well as making an actually translation rather than a 1 for 1 where humor and jokes are lost because of dialect yet still holding onto the culture of early 1900 Paris.
OK, I guess I'll continue then.
Wakfu left a bad taste in my mouth for dubs of french animation. I didn't even get that "dally" was supposed to sound like "daddy" until I watched it in french and realized they called him "papa" in that.
The Eva pregnancy reveal was also not subtle at all because of this in the dub
>monster can only make chirping noises when talking
>can sing in perfect French
What
My friend told me about this last year, I ended up watching it twice. Julian Lennon singing as "the monster" is great.
Shit *Sean lennon*
Fuck, this is a blast from the past. Sup Forums was all over this shit when it came out.
I only joined Sup Forums last year so I don't know that feel. Hopefully I'll know that feel in about 5 years from now.
>catched
The word is "caught." I apologize for the english language.
