Synopsis

On a mysterious night that seems to last for a year, an ordinary college student continues to chase one of his underclassmen, a girl with black hair—the girl of his dreams. Up until now, he has been relying on a simple plan, which is to calculatingly bump into her every day while making it seem like a meaningful coincidence. However, his efforts remain futile as their relationship is not progressing at all.

Meanwhile, the black-haired girl believes that everything is connected by fate and endeavors to experience as many new things as possible, leaving it all for destiny to decide. While strolling along the lively streets of Kyoto, she discovers that the very beginning of her fateful journey—a book she had as a child—is currently being sold in a second-hand bookstore. Upon knowing this, the college student eyes another opportunity to run into her "by chance": this time, he hopes to get the book before she does and finally grasp the thread of fate that could connect their hearts.

I had a really good time with this movie. It's certainly got a lot of visual flair, often displaying moments and scenes in unique styles to do a lot of the storytelling visually. It can be a little blunt at times in the dialogue, sometimes to the point of hitting you over the head with its themes, but that honestly fits in well for me, especially as this is a movie where its two central leads need to be hit over the head. The Black-Haired Girl spends much of the movie charting a path forward and excelling at pretty much everything she does, but can't ... perceive anything beyond that path, including her own feelings or those of the people who stumble into it. By contrast, Senpai has trouble moving along his path, stumbling the entire way as he endlessly pursues his goal of having the Black-Haired Girl see him. Even then, he stumbles, not knowing what he wants out of being seen and arguing endlessly with an army of inner selves about whether he should even put himself out there. At least for me, it's a relatable inner struggle made manifest in some of the most absurdly over-the-top scenes in the movie.

It's nice to get to spend more time with side-characters in this one. It's not necessarily that they get a lot of depth, but they're interesting insofar as how they facilitate the plot and the MCs. Higuchi and Hanuki are back and it's nice to see that they've fallen into a very chaotic lifestyle together as they impart various pieces of wisdom while engaging in just about every zany thing they can manage within a short time. There's a whole subplot involving a traveling group of performers working in defiance of the powers that be led by the Underpants Leader, a man defined by his love of someone else who got hit in the head with the same item as him at the same time. It's with characters like this that the movie occasionally managed to get a laugh out of me, so a little better than the series did. Ri Haku and the Used Book Market God also managed to direct some fantastical portions of the plot, making for some of the more absurd scenes. Still, not as captivated by the comedy as I was by just seeing the crazy ways its plot unwound and trying to guess how it would come together.

It's not episodic like the series, it's one complete narrative with a linear (albeit winding) plot. That makes it easier to follow and keep up with, but I'll admit, I kind of missed the way Tatami Galaxy told its story. Still, there are a lot of interesting visual flourishes in this one and things come back around quite readily from early in its run, and even though it was quite as visually innovative (it didn't jump back and forth between live action and animation), it certainly went hard in the animation department. I had a great time with this one, even if it wasn't quite as mind-blowing.

Mixed Feelings

I watched Yoru wa Mijikashi Aruke yo Otome, also known as The Night is Short, Walk on Girl. Here are my thoughts:

This movie is the spiritual sequel to The Tatami Galaxy (Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei), and I enjoyed this movie much more because it didn't have the awful whiny MC that made me dislike The Tatami Galaxy so much, although other familiar characters are present, such as Higuchi and Hanuki. The art style is also quite similar to The Tatami Galaxy – I appreciated it. The visuals are creative, unique, dynamic, and entertaining to admire; it is a nice satisfying visual feast. Overall this is a ...

I will preface by stating I have never seen The Tatami Galaxy. This is also only the second work I have seen by Yuasa, Masaaki. I only watched it in the first place because a friend of mine suggested it. This movie has its place, this movie can even be called good. Though to me, a layman, casual anime watcher, this movie was not worth my time.

The art style is insanely unique and something worth commending but it isn't something I would want every anime to look like. At the very beginning I actually found it annoying and because of it, was hard to ...
