Kimi wa Kanata (Over the Sky)

High schoolers Mio Miyamasu and Arata Kishimo are childhood friends. Mio harbors feelings for Arata, but she lacks the courage to express them. Even when her friend Madoka asks if she is in love with Arata, Mio reluctantly declines and encourages her friend to pursue her own feelings for him instead.

Later, while Mio and Arata visit a fortune-teller, the boy notices a strange phenomenon and tries to drag Mio out of the shop—much to her annoyance. As Mio begins to question her relationship with Arata, an argument erupts between them. That night, feeling guilty for what had occurred, Mio ventures into the rain to apologize to Arata and make her feelings clear. However, an accident along the way turns Mio's world upside down.

I wasn't initially gonna write a review for this, but since the naming convention of this film was the one that fancied my senses, I should at least give my 2 cents to say that this film made by one person: the infamous Yoshinobu Sena who did the "so bad, it's bad" Vampire Holmes, how does Kimi no na wa...ahem, sorry, Kimi no Kanata fare against many others who did the same thing?

In one word: NO. In more words: HELL NO. Please do not waste your time on this film just because the film title just cringes you on it being the vastly inferior product ...

Mixed Feelings

It's not bad but not too good either. It's a very chill movie that you watch some afternoon to pass the time and it's nice to see.

(+) The animation is decent and it feels cute and positive. They added some fantasy. The romance is also adorable but the reasons they have issues are for dumb reasons.

(-) The plot lacks so many extraordinary features, the characters are too generic, they tried to add something supernatural with some character but at the end it's irrelevant. Just a passing dream. Not intriguing, not exciting.

Even with the darkest and the most melancholic mood I think that I wouldn't ...

*Light spoilers ahead*

TLDR Below.

Imagine having Your Name combined with The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, stretch it infinitely long, and mix 1 or 5 genres of your choice.

You get this mess. This excruciatingly long boring mess of just silly characters with melodrama that doesn't even fit the frame it is presenting.

I must stress there is nothing wrong with generic titles. Not everything has to be innovative of the past, a push of simplicity is beautiful anyway, but quality matters regardless. KimiKana doesn't even understand that basic fact. Story's out here having a bigger identity crisis than Bloom Into You, seriously, this turns into a Disney ... musical halfway through with some action sequences to follow on. The only important character here is Mio, you can forget anything to do with Arata, the dude doesn't even take at least half of the screen time, but apparently, he is a very important person (you can tell because he has superpowers). There are also people who you won't care about having relationship ties as if we've seen 20 episodes of this nonsense before. Just one big ambitious mess.

I have to give praise to the audiovisuals though, well, for the trailer, because that is one of the reasons I watched this. Everything in the movie does not correlate to the trailer. It is just basic plain budget-cutting stuff you see in mid-tier seasonals, which, doesn't mean it is bad, but doesn't mean it is unique or anything to praise. This movie probably has one of the few times where I can say something has "bad audio", in the sense that the use was bad not the actual sound that I could hear. I am going to have some very strong words with Sena Yoshinobu for allowing me to know some wild direction could even exist.

Anyways, this was too boring for me to enjoy, chances are it will be the same for you. I will give it praise in that the only thing I liked about this was the flamboyant moments and the wholesomeness that draws later on. Other than that, I don't recommend watching this one. Watch the two titles mentioned prior. Your Name for a good supernatural drama. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time for life lessons that are actually coherent.

TLDR: The movie is a mess of story and characters you don't really care about. Audiovisuals are mid. So everything adds up to be boring as hell but has some good flamboyant scenes.
----

I have to say I was eager to watch KimiKana anyway. In addition to a hot trailer, the lack of talk from it was something that made me more interested in it, plus some said it was bad so I had to verify that myself. My curiosity is satisfied however and I have to say, even though it was just bad, I am happy to have seen it anyway.
