Midori (1992)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Audio sounds demonic? Video not playing/delay while scrolling? Use the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, you're being blocked by a security service in use here. Can happen for a number of reasons. Or your specific device/browser might be throwing up weird errors.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
In pre-war Japan, a recently-orphaned girl, Midori, is lured by a kindly stranger she meets on the streets while selling flowers. He runs a type of traveling theater featuring malformed performers among others. None of them give a shit about Midori’s age and instead abuse her vulnerability with cruelty. Her few moments of happiness in a day are shared with some puppies she hides away. When a sadistic trap finds them, he kills and cooks them. With the bottom of the pit she was tricked into, having fallen out, Midori is surprised when a dwarf magician-hypnotist who joins the troupe takes a romantic interest in her while also protecting her.

Based on a Suehiro Maruo manga, Midori was banned pretty much everywhere for years and the experience seemed to have put the director (also the animator) off so much, he moved from film to video games. A shame for movie fans because of the artistry on display here, even if some of the stills were replications from the manga.

The creator of Midori worked on video games after this?

That’s one hell of a surprise.

La animación y la estética de lo grotesco es fascinante, pobre Midori, la pelicula logra expresar esa angustia y tristeza.

I love this anime so much. one of my favs. idgaf what anyone says. anyone who says this deserved to be banned or whatever clearly didnt get the point of the movie.
as someone with c-ptsd and osdd from being abused all my life, this is the most realistic depiction of csa. Muchisute grooming Midori, Midori having no one and clinging onto Masamitsu (who only grooms her more) and not being able to truly escape this hellhole.

10/10
