| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, looks like I actually watched the movie version first thinking it was the OVA... turns out the OVA is harder to find now than the movie. Upon comparing with the actual OVA version, apart from the different lengths, (OVA 28 mins; Movie standalone 30 mins) were two short scenes in the middle: These two scenes were absent from the OVA. If any of you saw these scenes, it's the movie you've actually watched, not the OVA. |

When I tried looking for the movie, I was wondering why it's exactly the same as the OVA. |

| Maybe I'm jaded but I really struggle to care about some guy's doldrums being reinvigorated by a magic loli-sister-maid-mom-wife who tragically dies. Over the course of a summer, no less!. It hits ways too many check boxes. Except that it skips the actual death which given how telegraphed it is is just fine. Moreover the male lead seems to deal with it fairly well. Keeps it from spewing melodrama and keeping focus on how her presence changed the his life...although I'm not that impressed with that angle. Also anime robots that eat, sleep, gasp, etc. are a pet peeve of mine. It shows zero attempt at science-fiction, which I guess I can't demand of everything, but it still annoys me. |
| A good little movie, kinda sad. Fronzel said: Well his family died some time ago (at the very least six months) so the mourning process has been taking place for a while, she's just a trigger. And moreover she can be the trigger because she can be a sister/mother -- and a dying one -- reminding him that death is an inherent part of life, etc, and allowing to overcome his trauma through lighter repetition. All in all it was not badly done: although I understand the lack of subtlety critic, it's a short, you have to keep it to the point.

Well the guy already lost his whole family, you would expect he'd deal with a failing appliance. |

| I don't see any difference with the OVA. |

| Mh, kinda have to agree with Fronzel up there. Not as good as people make it out to be. If you've seen some of those animated short stories out there (like Tsumiki no Ie, Rain Town, Dareka no Manazashi or Aki no Kanade), this isn't THAT impressing, really. A lot of little problems and... pretty damn predictable, at least for me. I like the whole "the soul of his sister"-theory if that is actually the case, but I can't rate this higher than.. let's say 6/10. Worth the 30 mins, but not deserving of all the praise. |
| I think Flower died. But at least she got to see the sea and was able to make him get back to music. What a cute robot, I really am heartbroken of the outcome. 7/10. |

| I understand why both the OVA and this Movie have almost exactly the same score. The two short scenes aren't bad but they don't add much either. For all intent and purpose, it's pretty much the same as the OVA. |
