Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e

With the divorce of his parents, seven-year-old Koyomi Hidaka makes the important decision to live with his father. As a researcher at the Japanese Institute of Virtual Science, Koyomi's father is involved in the investigation of the phenomenon of parallel worlds. Through his father's job, the young boy meets Shiori Satou, the daughter of another divorced researcher. Soon becoming friends, the two spend much of their childhood together.

As Koyomi and Shiori grow closer together over the years, the two intend to marry in the future. However, their plan comes to a halt when their parents decide to marry each other. Now fated to being step-siblings, the two friends refuse to accept their new reality. Using their parents' research, Koyomi and Shiori escape to a parallel world to start their lives anew together, only to face repercussions that will put the very futures they strove for in danger.

Short non-objective and biased review.

Well, well, well...
This was actually surprisingly good, I honestly didn't have my hopes up after watching 'Boku ga Aishita Subete no Kimi e' before watching this movie, which wasn't a good idea, but without going into spoilers, I can recommend watching Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e first.

'Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e' starts off at a good phase and it didn't slow down once in my opinion, sadly going into details with this movie isn't very easy without spoiling.

The two movies really go well together, even though it might not have been needed to make it into ... two movies, this one (Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e) was great.

The main character feels real, and their journey felt satisfying to follow. Their reaction feels genuine and the way they handle the situation feels real.

Unsure of what else to say without spoiling too much of the movie, I honestly think it's worth to go into this movie without looking at any trailers.

[63/100 Animation] The animation is way better in this one, but still feels a bit dated.

[84/100 Story] The story felt easy to follow and I thoroughly enjoyed the story more than other points.

[54/100 Sound] Was alright. The OST wasn't bad and felt fitting.

[65/100 Voice acting] VA is better and more alive compared to 'Boku ga Aishita Subete no Kimi e' though I'm biased because of Shiori's voice actor having more screen time.

TLDR; 'Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e & Boku ga Aishita Subete no Kimi e' are two movies made into one with two stories flowing into each-other.

This review will probably be deleted after the Movie had a global release.

Mixed Feelings

TLDR: Watch it only if you are digging some cheesy and wistful romance. For some deep, well-thought-out plot…avoid it.

The most important requirement for a series dealing with time, space, and related sci-fi elements is that its in-universe laws/principles stay consistent and the plot holes remain minimum, ideally absent. Some series manage to explain such complex phenomena relatively well ( Steins:Gate ) while the rest focus more on other aspects and only use the sci-fi elements as an underlying base to save themselves the trouble of explaining each and every “law” ( Erased ). Kimi wo aishita tries to go with the former route ... by framing and explaining laws for parallel shifts/inter-dimensional travel, but fails at it horrendously.

SPOILERS AHEAD:




Kimi wo aishita’s plot holes become more pronounced after watching its counterpart Boku ga aishita, having the same characters set in a parallel world. However, the author actually forgetting his own plot points or in-universe principles is truly mind-boggling. Maybe the author who wrote this version of the film was from a parallel universe…

Plot hole 1 (more like a very convenient premise): The fact that the two kids instantly decide to jump the gun instead of talking it out with their divorced parents about the marriage is absolutely hilarious and unrealistic. Even with their teenage hormones raging within them, their desperate attitude doesn’t hold up seeing the relatively chill attitude of their parents, the plethora of options available before them to marry each other legally, and the time available before they became adults to make such informed choices.

Plot hole 2: It has been clearly established in this movie ( and even more clearly in its movie counterpart “boku ga aishita” ) that users swap their bodies when a parallel shift occurs. By this logic, the parallel world Shiori (let’s call the parallel world 1 and the original world 0 ) should have inhabited the body of Shiori 0. Since Shiori 1’s body died in her own world and Shiori 0 was turned into a ghost, what happened to Shiori 1’s consciousness? No answer from the series…it simply gets away by saying that Shiori 0’s body went into a coma, which can’t be possible in the first place if Shiori 1’s consciousness still remained in that body! A fine example of subverting your very own plot laws.

Plot hole 3: Towards the end, we get to see that the ghost Shiori was “reborn” as a real human in the 85th parallel world after Koyomi’s sacrifice. But then what happened to the original 85th parallel world Shiori ( or Shiori 85 )? Again, no answer or even a mention.

These plot holes are not minor-they contradict the very basic principles on which the plot is set and can’t be dismissed as “minor details”. And in addition, the convoluted way in which the movie meanders towards the middle through a combination of flashbacks and parallel shifting worlds doesn’t help in alleviating the plot and only serves to confuse the viewers more.

As for some positives, the art is good for a non-action movie. OST is nothing remarkable and the VAs are all right (but Koyomi’s VA performance as a kid felt out of place with his deep monotone voice). I, personally, did get enjoyment from watching it as long as I was watching it with a closed brain. But these cannot whitewash a movie with a poorly-thought-out plot with sci-fi elements in it.

This movie will make you angry pfff
(This whole text was written for friend, so it’s very emotional. I’m sharing it here cuz I found it funny.
P.S. I watched blue one first, then this one and I’ll leave recommendations about the orders of watching, below)

So honestly? Disgusting movie that only give anger. Ahah But maybe that's just me. The MC is miserable, pathetic and obsessed, so i didn’t empathize to him. The fact that you can compare the two from different universes is making it kinda easy, like gladly there’s better version of him somewhere. Actually, as a whole, both movies as one make it really ... pretty and tragic story. The two met and that fact alone ruined them, and those who love them, enter life. The only happy ending is for them to never appear in each others lifes...

YEH, YOU CAN THINK THAT BUT NO SH*T I would believe that in ALL those INFINITY universes were NONE where they would just F-ING TALK TO THEM PARENTS!!! this WHOLE SH*T happened ONLY because the 2 STUPID KIDS didn't ask or just talk to them parents. It's not like they wasn't trusting grown ups or that them relationships was a secret…

(Some anime’s always forget that irl people and so the characters can have internet and books, so they literally could search something like "Can I marry my step sister?" and it would say "NO SH*T BRO, GO ON"
Yeah also about it, that sudden “they in love but now will be siblings” twist was also big ewww tbh)

…The parents shown to be understandable, so if the kids told them what’s bothering them, they would just not marry each other in this case or well, like in anime just say that it’s fine to date step sibling (ewww ew ew ew) Or if they only would be allowed to play around the unstable machines, or if only they didn’t had that dumb idea to use one.
But seriously, MC spend his whole life looking for the universe where his lover would survive and this movie told me that theres sooooo many version of the universe, yet literally NONE where the teenagers isn't DUMB... fair enough I guess ahahah

Overall, the blue one is really good in my opinion and this one made me angry, but you gotta have trash like this for something wholesome like the other movie to exist.

The order. You can watch:
1) Only pink one - (I personally would turn it off right away if it was my first movie but you can see for yourself) - in the end you'll be left with a little hope in heart but you wouldn't know if them plan work out or not, like an open ending kinda of thing which isn’t that bad honestly.
2) Only blue one - You'll get the good, full story about a wholesome couple with just few little questions about details (but tbh if I knew that I have to watch THIS for the answers… I wouldn't go for it, cuz it’s not that important)
3) From pink to blue - You'll see if the plan is worked or not, after a bad story you’ll get to see a wholesome one even tho it was shown in flash backs before, to understand it better you need to watch the next one, and the beautiful ending where you would understand what's happened.
4) From blue to pink - you'll see a confusing start, a wholesome story and they would explain everything in the end so you wouldn't know exactly but probably would guess what’s going on in the ending and then you would have to see a shitty story for 1 and a half hour that was already explained pretty good in 10 minutes before as a flash back.

So overall? Watch just one (any) or from pink to blue. If you like me and will start with blue, then don't waste your time on the pink one
