(1:30mins QUICK AND SPOILER FREE REVIEW! - Because your time matters to me)


I really enjoyed the synopsis when I read it for the first time: a girl called Kurumi loses her boyfriend on a plane crash but thanks to incredible robotic technology, she gets a robot identical to her boyfriend. The goal here is to Kurumi to find the confort and love that she once felt.

Knowing this, the question that you're probably thinking is: How can both Kurumi and the robot (Hal) grow their relationship? How can they find love when one is a robot and the other had gone through such a tragic ...

As a cuber, I got triggered because of all of the inaccurate cubing scenes.

If you are a cuber, I recommend you to be prepared for serious trigger warnings.

Like the logic doesnt make sense. How do you 1 side randomly and somehow the pieces fit perfectly (for the wishes). Also its a 5x5 so its worse. and also, for some cubes, they solve the 5x5 by doing it 1 side at a time. Like bruh, thats not how it works.

Other than that, the story's decent, not too special. I just watched it cuz I wanted to see the cubing logic.

**MINOR SPOILORS**
I just got done watching Attack on Titan season 2, and I was curious as to what other series Wit Studio has done. I picked out this movie because the cover image was colorful and caught my eye. I am a sucker for android involved story lines, so I knew I had to watch it after I read the synopsis. In the end, the movie didn't quite reach my expectations.

Story (4/10):
There was a steady story line in the beginning, but I was disappointed around halfway through. It felt like a lot was lacking, but I'm not sure what it was. A lot wasn't explained. ...

My Thirteenth Review, This is a Short-Movie called Hal.

When I herd about Hal it was off another MAL's Profile, and after reading the details about the anime I thought that it would be fairly good, but honestly what did I get? A messed up story in my opinion.

It's said to be that a Robot turns into a guy in order to save her feelings or whatnot, however it starts off great and the story is smooth, then it takes a turn for the worse and your like....what? Now you've lost me. To me it was confusing once this turn took place and it ...

Spoiler free article: A short description that's just a bit longer than normal synopsis to give you rough idea what to expect from this anime. Conclusion for TL;DR at the end of the articles.

Reading time: 2 minutes read

Review:
This is one of the few anime from back then that's so good but so few people know about it. It's a very compelling anime with the right amount of drama in a 60 minutes span, by itself it's a good anime that's able to evoke various emotions throughout the show, but if I compare it to similar anime, it's a rather underwhelming since the other similar anime ...

SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!!!

With a movie with a premise that is basically just if Steven Spielberg’s Artificial Intelligence was a romance anime, one would think Hal would be a pretty epic film. And it seems like a lot of people thought that it WAS epic and were pretty depressed after watching the ending. But personally, I couldn’t get past its major flaws enough to really feel invested.

The main problem? The characters. Which is pretty fatal considering that this is a movie on characters. It’s so disappointing because I think the film was great in all other departments. The art was excellent both frame-wise and conceptually. I loved ...
