----------------------------------------
This was really a good movie, relaxing and has "lovely" drama flow thingy. The ending was so perfect, it had a meaning with how/why it (should) start. It was interesting too.
Makoto's friend looks so ugly, and so his mother too(?) :P

Well i enjoyed it very much, Animes/Movies that has a story about finding themselves(slice of life) are one of my interests. I give this 10/10 :)

Interesting movie. I enjoyed it a lot. I think they spent a little too much bro-mance with Makoto and his friend though haha.

I thought it was interesting how he is the particular soul that he is and yet he was very mature and seemed like a grown man that lived a long life beforehand. In the way he talks, thinks, and observes human behavior.

Very depressing movie, but good depressing. I like these types of realistic anime's with a touch of fantasy in the story.

I think I have to watch it a 2nd time to fully understand the main message about people being colorful.

"I've started to realize that people are hurting each other because the world is too colorful to distinguish the true color of themselves from others"

"we're all beautiful screwups, everyone is like that, people dont just have one shade,
we have all sorts of different colours, and it's fine to have them, pretty colours.. disgusting colours.. nobody knows what their true colours are, it's fine to be
colourful and to live colourfully.."

Best anime movie I've seen in a very long time. I just love the animation as well. I've never seen anything like it before.

I was put out when Hiroka said "You see, I only have to do it three times to save enough money to buy it". @_@
I wish they had concluded that relationship between Hiroka and the old man somehow.

Apart from that, very nice movie. A bit long-dragged, but I like that. Especially when there's rain in the background.

I felt so bad for the mom throughout almost the entire movie... He was so rude to her! When she was crying at the dinner table I wanted someone to give her a hug or something, lol. And girls like Hiroka - it just boggles my mind how they would sell themselves for accessories and stuff. Bitches and whores.

A bit of a boring/slow movie imo, but it ended up being really good. The scene at the dinner table and the ending were very powerful.

Beautiful movie.

I agree... Beautiful Movie.

A little slow moving but as everyone else has said Beautiful Movie.

ABSOLUTELY beautiful movie...I felt very moved by the scene when PuraPura rephrased to makoto-kun:

"Humans aren't just comprised of a single color, but with many different ones. What our true colors are, what our own colors are, we will never know and no one else knows. Progress colorfully and continue to live colorfully. "

That, to me really struck me...absolutely stunning movie, definitely recommended, although I do agree to it being very slow-paced and at times I was REAL frustrated with makato-kun when he mistreated his mother....>:(

sure his mother's a two-timer but she seems to look ashamed of it and she's human and every human has flaws and sins so, yeah. >:c

the movie was incredible... and has a great message behind it

Love the movie, even though it is sad it is also beautiful; full with interesting characters and lessons about a life.

Fantastic movie, I really enjoyed it.

I agree it was a little slow, but it was far from boring.
I can appreciate "slow", especially when it's done to this degree.
It's what made the movie as good as it is, that relaxing, well thought-out living is what makes you understand and relate yourself to the character that much more.

The message is great, one I think I sometimes need to heed!

And, the art is fantastic! It had kind of the look of the recent children's/family anime that have been airing the past couple of years. But, a lot higher quality version, with a very sophisticated look. If that makes any sense.

My only complaints were...
1. They should've elaborated more on him forgiving his mother. I'll agree, I liked the subtly of him eating his mother's food and clearly enjoying. But, is it too much to ask for a teary hug? I was all ready to start balling and everything! :>
2. He should've told Sono the he was sorry for calling her hideous, and that she was beautiful!

Other than that, it was an excellent movie.
I'll give it a 10/10.

I really hope it gets an R1 release, no dub needed. I would just love to own this on BD.

Urahara Out!!

I actually really enjoyed it. Even though its slow but its really good. But I feel bad for Makoto's mom, he should apologize to her. But overall, its really a fantastic movie :)

Great movie!

For me, it started interesting then before even halfway through it became slow and almost boring, it picked itself up again when he met Saotome at the train station progressing through the picnic with his father and finally to that very well portrayed family dinner. I'm relieved that it finished quite nicely till the end. Overall I think it was a very good movie that entertained me for 2 hours, whether the message got to me is well... let's just say I'm glad to be alive as well. XD

f**k I wish there had been a Saotome when I was growing up...

or, if there was, I wish I had had the b*lls to be his friend.

I think everything would be... better.

Good movie, and the art was just amazing.

Saotome is the best friend one could have.
At one point I dislike how Makoto was treating his mum, it was a little overboard.
I'm glad he forgave her in the end.

Amazing movie! Really loved it and usually I don't like slow pacing. It made me wonder if it's possible to look at my life from an outside, objective perspective and see what can be changed.

I also felt really bad for the mother, but I understood his anger - her affair was the last straw that made Makoto commit suicide. The way he forgave her was subtle (very japanese like, imo) and touching. Ah, this entire movie was really touching... I'm going to watch it again.

QFT^
Anyway, great movie. The artistic part of it was very beautifully done. The scenery caught me from the first seconds to be frank xD The music...a little half-assed on some portions and looped over but very nice overall. My current love is piano and boy, it really made a great pair with the violin in this one :D
About the storyline...I think everything that needed to be mentioned was already noticed by everybody else.
Overall, the movie was great imo...I would've never guessed [Big Spoiler]. Perhaps I should reflect a little after seeing this and, of course, raising it to a high priority for re-watching :D
It gets a 9/10 from me.

Beautiful movie. Very nice to reflect afterwards.

The only stuff I didn't really like was Makoto's voice acting, and the ugly megane girl's annoying behavior, but those are just very little nitpicking. The most plus side for me (apart from the moral) is the breathtaking scenery art, it makes me want to visit Japan again. Apart from the drama, I also enjoyed the subtle humor.

Saotome's such a bro but Purapura is my most favorite character. <3
