The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Although Kagemaru emerges victorious, the village elder decides that Jajamaru is the more deserving. As both men are not entirely satisfied with the outcome, they flee to the city to try and gather their thoughts. Jajamaru winds up staying with the Watanabe family, and he takes an instant shine on their daughter. However, the family is being harassed by gangsters who are looking to acquire their land. Jajamaru vows to do everything he can to protect them, but as he enters into a battle with their leader he discovers that they have a secret weapon

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
