Synopsis

Love is blooming at Sakuragaoka High School. Natsuki Enomoto has finally mustered the courage to confess to her childhood friend, Yuu Setoguchi. However, in the final moments of her confession, an embarrassed Natsuki passes it off as a "practice confession." Oblivious to her true feelings and struggling with his own, Yuu promises to support Natsuki in her quest for love. While Natsuki deals with her failed confession, fellow classmate Koyuki Ayase struggles with his own feelings for Natsuki. Despite his timidness, he is determined to win over her heart.

Zutto Mae Kara Suki deshita.: Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai follows Natsuki as she dreams of one day ending her practices and genuinely confessing to Yuu. Meanwhile, close friends also find themselves entangled in their own webs of unrequited love and unspoken affections.

The animation of the film is very good, the songs are the best of the film the lyrics, please listen and analyze the lyrics of the songs. The movie is very good, so I do not close the story of two characters. But giving that very good has a phrase "The only love that lasts is unrequited love." I got very very in the chest just for that phrase it was worth seeing an hour of a good drama.
I really liked how the film deals with the different protagonists and situations that are generated with them. Also keep in mind that the movie lasts 1 ...

Mixed Feelings

I didn't really expect much going into this movie, as just from the summary it seemed pretty unoriginal. Plus, the short run-time wasn't doing it any favors considering the multiple points of view it was trying to convey in a short period of time.

Story: 5

The unoriginal and uninspired plot makes for a bit of a boring watch. The scenes from multiple different perspectives are lumped together awkwardly to the point where you have trouble discerning almost anything other than what is currently happening between the characters in the scene. The ending could be better and the cliffhanger isn't even a good cliffhanger. It didn't leave ...

“I've Always Liked You” is what happens when… honestly? I have no idea. Maybe it’s what happens when You have a metal rod stuck in Your frontopolar cortex and yet someone forces You at gunpoint to write a script.

It’s hard for me to even call this a movie. It’s just a series of scenes stitched together in a chaotic way. There is an overarching motif (confessions) but its execution is so bland You’ll forget about it in an instant.

Let’s get this out of the way. This is one of those cases where the story is plot driven and not character driven. The focus isn’t the ... relationship between characters but just the act of confessing their love. Everything happens not because it makes sense, not because the characters made the best possible decision in their eyes. Everything happens because the plot deems it so. Even if it doesn’t even make a lick of sense.

All the characters are annoying and poorly written. I couldn’t tell You anything about any of them if You held me at gunpoint. Maybe it’s done on purpose. After all, teenagers are annoying twats in most cases. If that’s the reason… 10/10 character design. The main character (and I use that term extremely loosely) is loud, obnoxious and kind of a moron… and also a ripoff of a much better character from “Lovely Complex” (go watch that instead).

Another problem is the amount of characters. There are too many for anyone to actually give a damn and ALL of them are just one trait pumped up to 11 to pretend it’s a personality. We have a shy girl, a shy guy, a friend next door, a ripoff of Risa from “Lovely Complex” (yes, I’m not joking, they are almost 1:1 in design and “character”) etc. You get the idea. None of them get the screen time needed to get invested in them. Even in the more dramatic scenes I felt nothing, because I didn’t care about them. I had no idea who they were as characters. All I knew is their function in the story and that’s not very immersive.

You could easily delete about half of this movie and the plot would stay the same. What’s more strange is that one of the “romances” isn’t even resolved during the movie itself. The resolution is shown during the slideshow with the end credits. Clearly a 300 IQ move. Who would want to get everything in the movie? It’s much better to use the part that most people don’t care about. It’s just so… amateurish. It almost looks like there was no one with experience in actually writing and directing an actual movie.

I have seen and read many stories, in many forms but this script is probably one of the most nonsensical and amateurish I have ever witnessed.
