Not perfect but had some solid moments.
This didnāt really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
Thereās a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I actually agree with this take. Itās not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

Iām pretty much with this take on Harakiri. It doesnāt try to overcomplicate the pitch, and that confidence helps a lot. The best thing here is the way the pressure keeps stacking without it feeling forced. There are a few rough spots, but overall it absolutely works.
