I watched Munto a few years ago (the subbed version). I decided to rewatch it recently and saw a dubbed version had come out. To be honest, I spend the next half an hour looking for the subbed version. Except I couldn't (still can't as I write this review).
It may just be nostalgia, but I remember liking the subbed version SO MUCH more. The dubbed version is like a fanmade version. It is H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E. I think other reviewers were a bit harsh. The plot was decent (though it would have been better if it had been longer). Really, the thing that ruins it is the
...
dubbed voices. It reminds me of watching the Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged Series except there is nothing funny about it at all.
There isn't anything remarkable about this movie, but it isn't bad either. I'm planning on re-watching the sequels, so I hope they aren't as disappointing as the FREAKING DUBBED VERSION IS!
You know what? Maybe I saw the sequel rather than the movie... I really, REALLY hope that's the case.

Okay, I have watched A LOT of anime in my short time, but I HONESTLY don't know what to make of this show. It had some interesting concepts, and though those concepts were not executed particularly well, I can honestly say it wasn't BAD. Each episode held my interest, and though I frequently wondered WHY I was watching this show (especially at the beginning), I wasn't really disappointed. And the humor, the humor was actually REALLY good (and the accents SO fake). This show is so campy, so if you like unexpected and sometimes cheesy humor, this show is right up your ally.
If you need
...
something to fill the gap, something amusing that shouldn't be taken too seriously, or something just to laugh at, this show is what you're looking for. But if you just came down from an awesome anime that was almost perfect in every way (like Code Geass or Fullmetal Alchemist), you might want to reconsider.
On a side note, I really like the Opening.

Let me start of by clarifying: Princess Tutu wasn't bad. The art was amazing, the plot was complex and enchanting and completely explained. The ballet was phenomenal. However, it took me three years to get over the ending. Now, don't get me wrong; it wasn't bad. I just thought it shouldn't have been so... final. It shocked me and upset me thoroughly. That and how despite having such a compelling plot, a lot of it doesn't make sense until you get to the end.
Overall, the two things that bothered me was the ending and how the comedy seemed like a bad joke rather than
...
actual humor.

Okay, despite what others may say, this is a good movie to watch. I especially thought that the surprise at the ending made up for the confusion throughout. Yeah, it wasn't packed full of action, and twenty more minutes to clear up the plot would certainly have been welcome, but, regardless, I definitely thought it was worth the just shy of two hours I spent watching it.
From this point on, there WILL be SPOILERS. The next section are for people who watched the movie and were confused. This should clear up a lot.
Let's start from the beginning.
Ryouichi Kyougoku's father went back it time FIRST, in
...
order to save the future (in which humanity had made the Earth uninhabitable, forcing them to live on the moon). He failed (presumably thanks to Seki Kouji (Seki Kenji's grandfather). However, Ryouichi Sr. did meet his wife and took her to the future, where she would give birth to Ryouichi Kyougoku before shortly dying (due to her lack of telepathic ability).
Now, apparently, time traveling puts a lot of strain on the heart, as such, you can pretty much only make a round trip (to one time period and back). With that said, already having went into the past once and failing to accomplish his goal, Ryouichi Sr. sent his son to the past (and the same time period his wife / mother was from) to complete the mission (either stop humanity from destroying the Earth by connecting people through telepathy or bringing those telepaths to the future to help stave off the dying human race, as in the future, only those with telepathic abilities can survive.
Now, at some point before Ryouichi Kyougoku enters, Seki Kenji is born and grows up with Suzuura Natsuki, a childhood friend who developed strong feeling for him at an early age. He DIED. Seki Kenji DIED as a child. She, being a telepath, used her powers to go back in time so that she was injured instead. However, since everything has a price, she lost her powers but saved Kenji's life. As some point, Kenji's grandfather, Kouji, SEALED Kenji's telepathic abilities.
Enter Ryouichi Kyougoku, a time traveler sent to complete his father's mission. As per, he takes over the school relatively easily. The missing students seemed to be staying at home due to fear or suspended for carrying their cell phones to school (it was also mentioned that the vice president moved away) or taken by Kyougoku himself for his mission.
I'm assuming everyone understood the romance part, so I'll only give a brief recap. Natsuki likes Kenji, who likes Harukawa, who likes Kyougoku, who likes Harukawa in return (just like 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'). It causes problems. Nevertheless, Harukawa and Natsuki are attacked and both find out about Kyougoku's mission. Natsuki stops going to school. Kenji saves Harukawa, and the three convene and decide to keep going to school even after learning Kyougoku's true purpose.
The cell phone ban gets worse (all apart of Kyougoku's master plan), and Kouji releases Kenji's sealed telepathic abilities (also a part of the master plan), which he uses to save Natsuki from the angered student council (as both he and her broke the rule by carrying cell phones to school and were caught). Knowing that Kenji intends to stop his plan, Kyougoku challenges him to a fight. Kenji refuses, and the four go to the beach in an attempt to understand one another and bring peace. It goes well; and everyone ends up with the person they are supposed to (Kenji X Natsuki; Kyougoku X Harukawa).
However, Kyougoku needs to return to his own time or be 'eaten' by the one he is in. Despite, Harukawa's love for him, he refuses to bring her for fear that she will die (as she is not a telepath) just like his mother. There is a slight skirmish between him and Kenji that happens INSIDE the time stream, but they are both returned to the moment they left. However, Kyougoku is injured due to his excess time in the past. So, Kenji uses his power to sent them both into the future (a one-way trip as Kenji will not have enough power to return). Natsuki and Harukawa and everyone else forgets that Kenji and Kyougoku existed once they leave. Seki Kouji has a stroke or heart attack.
Since Kenji destroyed the device and went to the future (which he COULD live in as he had telepathic abilities), everything at the school went back to normal, though both Natsuki and Harukawa felt some sort of longing for the love they lost. However, Kenji (who is TRAPPED in the FUTURE) was able to sent back a device that allowed Natsuki to regain her memories and for them to talk (for how long was not specified). Kyougoku's mission was a success, and the future Kenji called from was from Earth, which in this future had NOT been destroyed by humanity.
