| Oh my god, I CANNOT. These kids are just sooooo annoying especially Reina $%$^ and um in conclusion ye this is just a rant really im sorry, if you liked the movie then that's fine I also think I might have liked if I haven't seen so many of these annoying characters in most of the manga and webtoons that I've read this past 4months or so. |
| It was inevitable... |
| I found Natsume a lot more annoying |
| I find Natsume a little bit more annoying than Reina |
 |
| Imagine getting annoyed by kids who are confused abt how to get back home when they don't even know how they ended up in that situation. If u got annoyed by just some negative traits of these kids(which is pretty normal coz they are literally humans) then it seems u are annoyed in real life too with everyone coz no one is perfect anyway. smh! |
 |
| I love Minase Inori but goddamn I can't stand Reina most of the time lmao |
  |
| Reina maybe annoying but understandable (she just want go home & not suffer), it's not a big deal and normal for a kid. for Natsume tho, while her backstory explain her feeling & motivation, her actions is just too much bruh moment, and it's not even realistic. Having Reina in show is actually good for balancing serious & dramatic main characters who overly slefless & overthink everything, she is opposite of that countering unrealistic mature tone. She is selfish, spoiled, and loud, just like normal kid. Even that she also can make several good moment with friendship & building spirit, and her reaction also the most lively among others, I'd say this show would be worse without Reina. |

| Western audiences should finally remember that characters need reasons to go through character development at the end and draw any conclusions. |
 |
| Wasn't really annoyed tbh. It's a childrens movie and the cast were mature enough. They were a lot more competent and bearable compared to most other anime or movies with children as the cast, or god forbid cartoons like avatar lmao. Going back for Noppo - depends on how you view their relationship. Kids or not, chars do stupid/illogical things all the time that would make you scream in frustration if it wasn't for the heroine or whatever love/friendship logic is backing it up. |
 |
| Bruh they're kids. And being annoying is their virtue. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |

I hope u understood my perspective and sorry for writing this long paragraph lol ... keep watching and enjoying anime .. (°ロ°) ! |

| I probably would if I watched it, but I didn't because it looks really bad. |
| Natsume was extremely annoying from the building on, Reina was irritating, but I think she showed some growth towards the end. |
| Girl, same, I understand that Natsume had a lot of trouble letting go of the past, but this girl literally chose a house over her best friend. I was so aggravated with her actions towards the end. I honestly blame that on the fact that I couldn't care less for Nobu. |

| People... of course she picks the building, over Kousuke, the kid is a brat and an asshole The only time they barely managed to have a proper talk it ends with them having a half conversation, in which the end result was her still blaming herself for everything, while Kousuke not only keep his end of the blame out of the discussion but also manages to re-frame the problem from "this is all your fault because you bottle up your feelings" to "this is all your fault because your are a crybaby", and as thus for her nothing has changed and everyone is better off without her being there, which is the main reason she was visiting the building, unable to let go, and talking with her shit childhood friend only helped to confirm her ideas of being unwanted and unneeded Being things like that, of course she is gonna stay with the building Then in an asspull after the show ran out of time he comes back for her, with the help of a magical ferris wheel the story never foreshadowed, telling her and confirming that yes, everything is pretty much her fault, but that despite she being a mess, an idiot, and several other insults, she is still family on virtue of them just having spend too much time together, because he never tells her anything positive, and as thus despite being someone with little to no redeeming qualities, she shouldn't just leave... So now she knows that her closest friend, does thinks she is indeed a horrible person, but at least he thinks of her as family, pretty crappy situation, so of course she will still care about the building, the building is not giving her shit Which is by no means what he should have told her, but is what we got, and for us to get that pittance of development and she had to pretty much die twice Then it is shown at the very end on an inner monologue that he never apologized to her for being an asshole, it is the one thing his grandpa told him to do before dying, and the one thing that could have helped solve the her worries, and the one thing he actually had to do, and even after months passed after his adventure, he still couldn't do... The building at least properly tried to listen to her and reassure without shitting on her And yes Reina was extremely annoying and pointless, and her existence never justifies itself, she barged uninvited into the boy's ghost hunting adventure (reminder that Taishi was the one that got the idea of going into a haunted building, but at least he had the decency of never pointing fingers for the mess he dragged everyone else into, and technically he is at fault for getting the other 2 boys into the mess), then blamed everyone else for some shit she got herself into despite having no business being there. And she really has no business being there, and by there i mean in the story itself, she starts as an outsider entitled brat, and ends it as an outsider entitled brat, her only character development, if we can even call it that, was figuring out that people can grow attached to places that conform parts of their personal history, and that happens off-screen, and had no real impact on how she deals with others, let alone on how she deals with Natsume, because as a complete outsider she has no idea just what kind of significance the building has for Natsume, her growth starts and ends at "old places can be precious things too", which is somehow more growth than what the other 3 support kids got, which is pretty much nothing, nothing happens with them, they come and leave being the same people In the end this would have worked better if it had been a 20 minute short of just Natsume dealing with her insecurities and Noppo being there to reassure her about not wanting to die with the building, everyone else was a dispensable extra that exist just to add padding to the story, Kousuke could have barged in near the end, after it is revealed that Natsume went missing for a month, apologize to her for being and asshole, and then it ends, we get the same story, in less time, with less grievances, hell you can perfectly get rid of Kousuke too, and just make it about Natsume and her mom Aesthetics aside (visuals, sound, movement) which were quite good, the story of the movie was a 5/10, it is an average anime, actually if we look at the kind of... stuff that is out there in the world of anime, we could even say that by anime standards, this is actually quite good, and then by movie standards, then yeah it was bad it is not a story worth 2 hours specially for what little payoff it gives, you can get a better experience with 20 minutes less elements, and the same message |

| I gave it a pass because these are literal brats! They're elementary schoolers. Loud, annoying, emotional, arrogant, make no sense - as most kids do. Not to mention PTSD and dramatic childhood. Nah, I'm fine with them. Though yeah, I was annoyed at the start - got used to it towards the middle. |
| I'll be honest here, I found myself wanted to slap Natsume a few times, Reina might be irritating but she's bearable. And no, I've never felt this annoyed toward children irl, but Natsume seems to be written just to annoy people |
| Flat, seen a dozen times personalities on those children is admittedly a pain to sit through, and the repeats of worthless scenes with just Nat and Kou just keep on rambling on each other with the meaningless words is all I can remember, barely works as a conveying feeling understandably they are just kids. Funnily ojou Reina is more memorable than that two being absolutely way too forced on the script. |
| Lmao aren't they like 11 or something? Literal kids, but I agree Reina escpailly annoyed me but I have to keep reminding myself throughout the film is that they really don't know any better and they did pretty well to surviving knowing this sort of circumstance is a first for them. Well at least the MC did. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| What annoys me the most is the random mispronouncing of Kousuke and what not by some voice acrors while others get it right. Whomever decided to make Fouzia Youssef-Holland the ADR Director should be fired. |
 |
| Most of the kids are annoying, very few r good. This anime is about kids so they just wanted to show how kids are it would be not cool if they give it adult intelligence/behaviour to kids cause they r just kids. They show is more like for 13yo or under |
| 40th min into watching and already annoyed to death. Would be so nice if all of them drown in that ocean : / "but they are children" / "it's a kids' anime" is no way an excuse when we have Studio Ghibli's examples imho. |
| I did get annoyed, but not in a bad way. They're written exactly how they're meant to be. I really liked Natsume's character a lot from the start, showing maturity and later being incredibly altruistic during a time of crisis. Everyone consistently putting the blame on her throughout the movie was frustrating, but Reina's character showed enough development and she's just an ojou-sama who was worried about herself and her friends. Best characters imo. Same can't be said for Kousuke, he was just annoying from the start 'til the end. You initiate conversations with a friend you've horribly mistreated, and yet when they open up to you you have nothing to say because you're immature and a coward? Ew. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. I also liked Juri, but the other two boys were kind of dull. Wish they could've gotten more screen time. But at least they played into the group panic well, it really helped give off the impression that these were literal children doing stupid things lol |

Reply to Tivi_II
some people who commented on the movie look like they have never seen a child in their life, 9-10 year olds are not 4-6 year olds, I watched this movie with my 11 year old cousin, she is still the same asshole she was 2 years ago and she has the degree of maturity of a child her age, they use the argument "it's just children" as if children are brainless beings, and the argument "it's a program for children" as if pattern were a synonym from bad. This is a very half bomb movie, it's a 1 hour movie stretched to two, it only needed natsume and the annoying asshole boy, not even Pinheiro was necessary, how they got there doesn't matter, how they left doesn't matter, if you film about just the two of them solving their problems during the first hour, as it was done, he showing that he was wrong and that he regrets what he did and that she is wrong for thinking it is a problem, in the end they just reappear in the world real, with the problem between them resolved, to be able to move on with their lives.
| @Tivi_II having worked with children, I can very much attest to the fact that they did indeed act like 11-year-olds lol. Children come in all shapes and sizes |
| I'll make it with the power of cute I'm unstoppable |
| This film was good to remind me not to make the mistake of having children, imagine the pride of being the father of a girl like Reina hahah. 😆 |
 |
| I’m just irritated that they didn’t bother explaining what on earth was even happening. The characters didn’t even bother me, but the sheer levels of incompetence when it came to storytelling renders this a firm 3/10 in my book. Very disappointing. |
