| DAMN... MIND = BLOWN! Wasnt expecting that...... //cries very nice!~.. I hate sad stories so much but w/e.. i'll just accept these tears T /// T THAT VERY LAST SECOND THOUGH... THE FEELS Q __Q It must be so sad to lose a loved one... |
| I did feel for Hal, and I liked how things went about. I felt there were some points I would have wanted to see more about, like the surprisingly dark points of their world despite the overall calm feel of the setting. I wouldn't have minded seeing more about the friend as well since it was odd to me that things were alright with him by the conclusion. But otherwise, I'm pleased, I thought the bg was beautifully done. |
 |
| After this movie I want Ao Haru Ride have anime and Production I.G make animation for it! *.* As for HAL... I LOVE IT! OMG! That plot twist! That ending! I can't deal with this! and that at the end... My heart wasn't ready for such ending! So many feelings... ;( |
    |
| I get it.. but I also don't get it ... it made no sense to me.... What did I just watch???? I honestly don't have a single clue on how to rate this, I have neither positive nor negative feelings towards this because I don't even know what I was watching for the past hour. All the anime endings I saw today made no sense to me, first beyond the boundary and then this. Gosh, my head aches just trying to figure things out. Not scored/10, Beyond Masterpiece, it's at a rank of its own, none other than this anime have left me this clueless and speechless. Gonna wake up tomorrow morning with a huge headache thanks to this. |
| I was caught off guard with that twist! Didn't see it coming!! After the twist, it sorta made sense why she didnt eat what Hal prepared... but then a mistake was for the part when they were eating ice cream. lol. Before the plot twist, I was like, ohhh, robots (Hal) could eat. Then the plot twist... oops i think they should've cut that ice cream scene. lol Aside from that, good movie, good movie! Didn't cry but I wasn't expecting the twist as well. |

| A great movie, I really liked the plot twist and of course, the great character designs by Sakisaka Io ♥ I hope some day one of her creation will see the light of anime, and not only her designs. |
| 8/10 Very good movie. |

| I was somewhat relived after the twist because just before it I thought this movie was dumb. Still the twist didn't change the fact I got little bit bored and I felt nothing. |

They did a poor job setting a up, the first 5-7mins and the last 15mins don't make any sense at all. |
| i predicted the whole thing... .___. it was a decent movie though, nicely conveyed emotions and pretty animation. |
| Holy shit that twist!! That was amazing, the animation and music were superb. That ending! God damn that was good. I wish it was longer. Really pulled on my heartstrings there. Wit Studio is one to look out for, they are going to be big. 9/10 |
 |
| I was a lot more emotionally invested in the movie than I was in the manga, which is surprising since I was aware of the twist before watching the movie. It was also a nice treat seeing Sakisaka Io's designs animated, I really hope her works receive anime adaptations someday. |
| MIND FUCK! hahaha liked it! |
| I really love the animation and the colors they used. The story is unexpected with twists and turns. It's just sad to know what's the story behind it. Overall, it's amazing!! :3 And I think it's the first animation for Ayase Umi, correct if I'm wrong, kudos to her. Sakisaka Io's works look similar to hers, though. |
| I didn't even saw the plottwist coming at all, But it was a rlly nice moving, I barely watching anime movies but I have not regretted a minute of watching this one, even thought the end is a bit... god why x3 |

| Man, what the HELL? I got my dreams and hopes crushed right here. EXCELLENT movie, what the hell people, how can you not like this more? Damn daaaaaamn it was really sad :( |
| Fucking Brilliant. I just loved it, the plot twist was great and I didn't see it coming at all. In retrospective it had some nice subtle foreshadowing. I really wasn't expecting much but it blew my expectations. This movie deserves more love. I loved the clam atmosphere of it and the setting was also nice.I can't believe how emotionally invested I was, even though it's a short movie. The animation and character design were great so was the ending song. I hope the movie did well in Japan. Easy 9/10 |

| Honestly I was pretty bored and then BAM, that really well done plot twist. The animation was lovely! 8/10 I also wrote a review that has my complete thoughts. Please give it a look! |

| I expected no less from the studio who brought us SNK 10/10. that's what I call a PLOT TWIST! |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| That movie was very emotional.I feel depressed ;.; I really loved the music part , at the end of movie.. 9/10 |
 |
| holy damn! such a beautiful movie.. got 9 from me :' almost speechless while watching this anime the art is good.. the story is perfect.. and.. WHY I DONT REALIZE IT! I should know since the beginning that the robot will became kurumi.. the old man really down while get a phonecall.. that must be haru.. and the one on the plane is kurumi.. why I'm not realize it?! such beautiful movie.. :"" so much feeling.. :' |
| Man I loved this movie. So heart tearing it was at the end though, that twist.. Oh man. That got my tears flowing. Gave it a 10/10 for its uniqueness and sweet story 'n romance. |
| Good Movie overall... but I am wondering why is everyone keep saying HAL was the robot and not Kurumi? I mean if you watched the whole movie its clear that HAL Was the human who did not die from the plane explosion after he suddenly got the Flashback of him on the airport seeing Kurumi going into the plane that afterwards turned into a ball of flame at the near end of the movie.... But still at the moment all the synopsis for the movie and background info on the character said's that HAL is QO1 the robot... even the current reviews im reading saids HAL is the robot >_> lol |

| The animation was beautiful. I was reminded of "Chihayafuru" many a times. I just love the character designs for Shoujos and Joseis. The twist caught me completely off-guard. It was a good thing I never read the manga and I pretty much knew nothing of this film going in. |

I'm a little confused. Could someone explain the beginning to me where they show the grandpa telling Q01 to become "him", and then at the end they did a flashback where the grandpa tells Q01 to become "her"? That's what I'm confused about... I understood everything, except the beginning dialogue. Thanks~ [EDIT] "Robot therapy": Was the beginning scene where the grandpa told Q01 to become "him" just what Haru thought happened because he went through that robot therapy? |

Gramps used a neutral term for 'that person', so it was the translator's discretion that made it a 'him' at the start and 'her' at the end. |
| I've read the manga at least 3 times in the past 6 months as a way of preparing myself for this movie, but seeing the plot twist animated got me really bad ;_; It was a really pretty movie, I enjoyed it a lot. Especially the voice acting; I didn't expect to hear Mamo-chan there omg. |
| Amazing movie! 10/10 The art was really breathtaking. Can someone please tell me what Hal and his friend exactly do? like in that flashback when a robot pushed Hal into the water? I didn't get that part :/ Was it part of what he does to get out of debt? |

The flashback. They were getting those hearts ( memories) for the robots. They sold androids to get out of debt. TwT |
| It just didn't resonate for me the whole thing seemed kind of off key so I won't give more than a 6 :/ |
| Dammm that twist at the end got me, good movie 8/10. |

TwT how many hearts were there in the movie? didn't the broken one originally belong to Hal and the real Kurumi? |
| would have been more "complete" if it was longer, now it kind of feels like an hour wasted, though a good one. feels like a 'Hotarubi no Mori e' wannabe, and a poorly executed one. If it wasn't for the voice acting and plot twist, it would be a pretty plain and average romance anime. 7/10 |

| A great movie but I didnt see that ending coming |
