20th Century Boys 1: Beginning of the End

As a mystery-adventure with fantasy elements, the movie primarily evokes strong Curiosity as the audience attempts to unravel the connection between childhood prophecies and current disturbing events. This is coupled with high Anticipation as the 'Book of Prophecies' seemingly comes true, leading to growing Anxiety and Fear as the mysterious cult leader 'Friend' and ominous events unfold. A significant sense of Nostalgia is present through the childhood flashbacks and the bond between the friends, contrasted with Melancholy over lost dreams and the grim reality of adulthood. Surprise and Confusion arise from the unfolding mysteries and unexpected plot developments.
