I wish I could re-vote and change it into a 5/5. ;_;

Idk about why some people get so serious about the physics in Anime. The girl eats paper, i think that was really cute. Crazy women jump off building, it happen in real life all the time, also it adds on how much she is afraid of losing him. and the IRON CANON is a laser projector. They use them in Planetarium WORLD WIDE!

The mystery girl in the end is Touko because couple of things:
1. He wrote a book called Bungaku Shoujo. Miu was not a Bungaku Shoujo. His first book was for Miu, second book is for Touko. Both books are based on his time with the girls.

2. When mystery girl ring door bell, he said "if its her, she will like it for sure. ( it = the book about the Literature Girl )" I don't see Miu like the book, so i can assume it is Touko. Also who promised to read that book? Not Miu i tell you that much.

3. in the end, the white screen with Japanese words on it says: That's because under the magnolia tree, i chanced upon her. Translated by Doki. In Japanese Kanojo (彼女) could mean both her or GirlFriend. SO lets see, where did he see a girl under a magnolia tree?????? Such a hard problem, man.... So you go back the beginning of the movie, and read those text on the sky then it will make it even more easy for you.

Now HE even ask the same question: " Why am i writing this again", he is writing because he love Touko, the same reason he wrote the first book for Miu. So now you can also figure out the second BOOK that he wrote in the end was the Movie it self, you can almost say the Movie is a adaptation of His BOOK... get it?

Aya hirano is voice for Miu??? lol, this is so fitting. Stupid slut.

Gah. I wanna punch Miu in the face - she drove me nuts the entire time and the fact that he was too slow to notice things.

after i'd watched the OVAs, i decided to check more about the characters before i watched this movie. so by the time i was watching the movie, i know stuff about the characters involved in it already.
as a stand-alone movie: animation, music, & story-telling, Production I.G did quite a job cramming stories into ONE movie. with that, i've biased-ly gave this a 10. <give me a few weeks later, and my mind might change the score for it. the movie is still fresh in my head & so i'm still bias as of right now)
anyways, i was hoping that would be Touko by the end of the movie...i strongly believed it was.
and from what javalu882005 stated, true enough, what he said made quite a lot of sense as well. (concerning the part about that the end-credits)

AND TO REPEAT THAT, DOKI MADE A MISTAKE IN THE SUBS. so to answer your question about how Konoha jumped from Miu to Touko; it was "i loved you, Miu" not "love" so yes, it was PAST TENSE. 「好きだった」

i guess you have to have the mind to understand the story AND characters, both, to be able to enjoy this movie. to me, Miu was indeed an insuperable character to no end...but she was the most dynamic character in the whole story. she was the one that changed from one emotion to another. showing the most change in her facial expressions, and the only character Konoha had to overcome to move on...but thanks to Touko, she finally found her purpose, and she has then turned a new leaf. (leaf = konoha; also didn't Konoha wanted to become a "tree"? lolol) JK, puns aside... i had enjoyed this movie. but i would love to know the story behind, how Touko seem to be called "youkai" in another synopsis of "Bungaku Shoujo," and to explain how she came to become the "story-eating" girl we all came to know, and possibly, love.
(which now leads me to go read the novels. i wish i have a credit card so i can order them from amazon. /sigh)

actually that "guy friend" (aka. Ryuuto) is Touko's cousin.

epic, a masterpiece of a movie, a must watch
i wonder where i could get the light novels, i would like to read them :)

FUUUUuuuuuuu-

Screw the braindead woman Konoha. She can keep jumping off roofs and getting hit by trucks, I won't give a fuck. She was a despicable character from the start. Her redemption still couldn't make me stop hatin' her.

Well, the ending is what saved me from hatin' this show.

Really loved that Kiss at the station. Was hoping for a kiss to take place,and thank GOD it did. really made my ending. As for why Konoha ran after Touko, I believe, from what I saw, he did because he loved her.
At the planetarium, As Touko "reveals" the true meaning behind to the book for Miu to understand, it's made quite clear that Konoha wrote it, because he loved in Miu in the past. She understood his previous feelings,but that he now didn't have the same attraction towards her.

Who is the woman that arrives at the very end, after the credits? would like to think,and hope, that the woman is Touko. The way they show off that kind of "final" meeting, bums me, as I prefer clear closure and real endings. Too much were left for me to imagine at that point.

Anyway. Loved this movie. Theater-wise, this is my best romance show I've seen.
With me seeing this movie, pre-the prequels, I ofc got alot of questions unanswered. I hope the Ova's make the other relationships more clear.. 9/10. may end up changing it after watching it a 2nd time at a later occation ( or whatever)

Impressive work. When i finish watching the OVA (Memiore and Hatsukoi) I felt this was going to leave things very open, but no.
This movie tied up the previous work beautifully and had a really heartwarming ending.

I would like to believe the women at the end is Touko. He wrote the second book for her, so she can read it and enjoy (munch it) it.
She doesn't stay with him because he would have died as an artist (life experience is needed to create work that leave an impression on viewers/readers ). So I agree with her decision of letting him leave his life and maybe come back if they still feel the same way after the book is release.

My only complain is lack of details on the time skip. We see Miu taking care of a daycare, then out "crush girl" still on uniform in the library (?) and then Konoha grown up writting a new story (not to be confuse with "Literature Girl") and having a meeting with a new editor which he hope is Touko.

Overall, amazing work, but it needs more. It seems they are trying to fit so much in a movie and 4 ovas

was gonna rate this a 6 but then the kiss got to me! xDD

ummm 8/10?

i enjoyed this film but the thing i wanna know is what is miu made of she survives from a fall of a building then she survives being hit by a truck if that's not luck then i dunno what is

I don`t want to write what was good or bad for me in this show. I enjoyed watching it as I`d searched for something with such kind of atmosphere. So, I`m almost satisfied and even think about reading the novel...

Minus the sarcasm, anyone who has questions this pretty much sums it up and I concur with it.

Oh god this was one of the best things I've seen. It was an amazing experience, I don't even know what to say to be honest. I just loved it. ;-;

10/10

oh wow, that was amazing. it got a bit confused at some certain parts, but overall, i enjoyed watching this movie. sooo heartwarming ;_;

10/10

A very good movie, loved it 8/10. Left it was rushed.

Wish there will be a full series sometime in the future. The novel deserves a complete adaption.

What is up with this story line? Some dumb bitch with histrionic disorder who also has crazy suicidal tendencies. Why bother with her? Should just say "Hey, it's nice to see you again, but you are fucking crazy, so I'm going to stay away from you." The guy is an idiot. And what's up with the paper eating?

I don't like the art that much, it reminds me of timmy/jimmy in southpark. Those squashed faces... eh...

AND someone has REALLY gotta lock that damn door to the roof, it's a middle school with no roof fencing around it. Seriously.

This movie is terribly underrated



Well apparently since you haven't even watched the prequel OVAs to the movie, you won't know the events prior to it.

I'd recommend you watch something more suitable for your IQ level - http://myanimelist.net/anime/20/Naruto for example, I'm sure you'll like it

lmao, I was about to give this a holy place next to 5 cm/s with a 1/10, but that ending after the credits brought it up to a 5/10. Such a terrible movie, I was bored almost the entire time.

The only good parts in the whole movie were the main guy giving his scarf and gloves to the literature girl and also the ending bit with the train.

I watched it... And I don't know what to say. In one way it irritated me - the art (but mostly only in the beginning), the characters. But in the other - I loved it, even though throughout the film I was like "let's see, what's in the next few minutes" :D
