Hello World

The year is 2027, and the city of Kyoto has undergone tremendous technological advancement. Within the city live two classmates: Naomi Katagaki, a socially awkward and introverted boy; and Ruri Ichigyou, a girl with a cold personality who is often blunt with people. Despite sharing Ruri's love of reading, Naomi is afraid to approach her due to her unfriendly nature.

One day, while out on a walk, Naomi witnesses a crimson aurora pierce through the sky for a brief moment before vanishing. Shortly after, he encounters a three-legged crow and a mysterious hooded man, who reveals himself to be Naomi from 10 years in the future, explaining that he has come to change an imminent tragic event that happens to Ruri soon after they start dating. Initially taking his words with a grain of salt, present-day Naomi follows his future self's instructions and starts getting closer to Ruri, determined to save her. Will he be able to change the future?

THIS IS A SPOILER-FREE REVIEW

I was browsing through Amazon Prime Video, looking for something interesting to watch when I came across “Hello World”. I was immediately hooked on the premise. I can´t remember when I last watched an original sci-fi anime movie.

Story – 8/10

The premise of this show is extremely interesting. Set in the near future in Kyoto (Thank god not Tokyo again), this anime has some very cool ideas of how technology will be used in coming years, with the main focus being mapping and simulating our world through surveillance. Over the course of the movie, more and more layers are added to the ...

Mixed Feelings

“Hello World” is what happens when You decide that mixing the “Inception” and “Paprika” is a good idea… without the skill to write a logical plot.

It's a meh. Story lacked conviction. Im very disappointed in how this came out, the concept was very interesting but they downplayed it so bad. I swear this concept has so much potential. Characters were bland, there wasnt nothing going on between the MC and his girl. It's hard to think that someone would die for their girlfriend of a month and spend 10 years working on how to extract the "consciousness" from recorded data. The only intriguing part is the data. The idea that it isn't time traveling had its kown originality to it, thus not having a paradox would be totally logical... Props ...
