As expected of any Kunle Afolayan production, Anikulapo: Rise of the Spectre is top-notch. Beautiful scenery, props, costumes, sets, and everything else capture the real essence of this work of art.
I will compare the movie and the comic books because, yes, while I liked watching the characters come to life on screen, I did have some gripes with it.
They got my two favorite genres (fantasy and science fiction) and merged them. The result was an entertaining ten hours of world-building, character development, and badass fighting nuns.
The series tells both stories concurrently, showing the past and present. The story follows Sunja as a young child before her father's death, her choices, and how she ends up in Japan.
The story follows Zuri, a young woman who makes a decent living yet finds herself in financial hot water when her rich boyfriend betrays her and gets engaged to another woman while they are on a break.
