| if this was supposed to be a movie about kids vs adults / generational war then they haven't done a good job was all of this all worth in the end? 7 days of them stirring up shit in the media, possibly ruining the image of the school they attended, deploying so much workforce to capture them; and what for? the girl still moves in the end and the thai immigrant is returned back, they've just delayed it for a little bit also dunno if it making an immigration issue statement, but the most unexpected moment of the movie was the fucking yuri development lol |
 |
| Through a chance, a young immigrant, the children become rebellious, but those children end up growing and becoming adults in essence.... The best, the scene of confessions, some incredible.... Anyway, it is still an average movie.... 5/10 |
| That was boring but not entirely bad. 5/10. I also think genres are wrong on MAL. There is no action in this film nor thriller. It's a typical teens drama |
| the end is unsatisfactory, some random drama that got resolved fast. yeah i didn't know Malet was a girl aswell. |

| Not a bad movie. I didn't expect much when I started watching. |

The moment she said "I know these as well", after throwing those looks at Mamoru, I knew Kaori's feelings had to be romantic, and Chiyono's conversation with Mamoru on the roof when she told him she likes someone but can't tell them because it could ruin their friendship, it becomes pretty clear that she wasn't talking about him, and the other closest friend she had was Kaori, and when Kaori told her we're best friends and she looked down and whispered "best friends" after flying the lights, she was obviously disappointed. You guys are denser than a harem protagonist for not picking up all those signs. Though I agree on the shota-turned-out-to-be-a-loli thing was hard to predict. Overall, The movie was fun to watch and I liked the message it was trying to deliver so I'll give it 8/10. When she asked that, i thought it was a one sided love. What i did not expect was both of them having the same feeling. For the roof scene it actually can be seen and her thinking he's dense like we have seen before in tons of animes. |
「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| The MC formulated all those plans for the girl he loved, only to get yurizoned? Though he did get a loli.XD |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| As an anime movie this was very mediocre. As a version of Our Seven Days War it was bad. I find it funny that they gave a respectful nod to the original movie/novel (with the not a grandma being from the original) yet in every other way they bastardised the story. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Being a Japan-only satire novel for 35 years since, after watching this "movie" (if you can call it that), every extent of the "youths vs. adults" rebellion mentality is true, but even adults in corruption (and adding in the social media innuendos), I'd felt like this could have been just an hour-long (or 3 episodes worth) movie, all otherelse though, can forget about it. As a youth that was once trampled in these young adults' lives before, the communication was exactly that, and the only good thing to come out of this movie. It's really "OK Boomer" the movie, NGL, full of cringe (but it's real). No plot whatsoever (the title should already be the foreshadowing to it. but only rescued at its final stretch) and, none of the character exploration, and very flat emotions of youths whimpering and changing their future by their own hands. Safe to say: it's a bad (not even decent) movie (that NO ONE should watch), lots of misses but no hits. And this is coming from a former youth-turned-young adult that was once rebellious, and knowing the in-and-outs of adolescence. Now I want my 90 minutes back...

Even more is Kaori and Chiyono's relationship which I really find it damning to just add SOME yuri plot for conveniences, too bad for Mamoru who got yuri-zoned for that, at least he earned a loli's love.the end is unsatisfactory, some random drama that got resolved fast. yeah i didn't know Malet was a girl aswell. xavierGS18 said: It's just downright average, nothing home to mention about.

| Such a nice adventurous they had there. Interesting to pack all the scenery at the 7 days war into like that. Yeah, its some great adventure. Using a war statement as a metaphor to handled the Shounen high-schooler classic typical action to compact well enough on that show. Its premises felt nice. The art and animations was okay. The soundtrack was nice to listen. And this show get my full enjoyment. To the final scores, it might take a 10 for this show. However, since the MC got unlucky to his love live, unfortunately, i might only give this show only a 8 per 10 max point. Damn, that brown little girls, really be my favourite character, breaking down my first Ojou-sama, because she just interested with her yuri lovemate. Damn show! Hope its had a chance to get a continuations in the future. Just a low hope, as usual.... |

| I love this anime, it tells the story of a girl who rebelled against adults. Even though the character design is weird but I like the storyline. overall I give 8/10 |
| Man I really loved this anime. I liked how they rebelled against her father in order to warrant some change or something. I really want to write a review for this, but I suck at writing and I don't know what words I should use for it. For some reason, I feel that it's very relevant to what's happening in America now. How many people are going against what's corrupt and trying to change it for the better future. Though this anime is still less important in terms of this issues it tackles against what's happening now. Ok so going back to the movie, I understand that you'd need to restrain the illegal immigrant, but then punching the immigrant, who is still a child??? I'm sorry but the immigration workers need to fix how they work. Also I'm still pissed at the secretary who decided to leak their pictures on the internet. It was for them to break? Well he just ruined their lives like it was nothing. Even if it's fiction, I hope he's able to fix it somehow. Not like we'll get a sequel for this movie or anything. Edit: If anyone can find any of the live action movies (in English subs) or the translated original novels or manga, please message me... I've been looking for half an hour but the only things I keep seeing are information on the anime movie... ty |

| YOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAMORU WAS NEXT LEVEL SIMPING THE WHOLE TIME JUST FOR AYA TO ANNOUNCE SHES LESBIAN OML. IMAGINE LITERALLY ASKING A GIRL TO RUN AWAY WITH YOU ONLY TO GET YURIZONED LOOOL But my god was this some pure cringe. And not even the good kind this was just complete awkward cringe, especially that consecutive confessions scene. Had to actually take a break from watching just so I could regain my composure And I know this film is supposed to be dur hur adults vs kids and the adults were all goofballs, but dayum did I not like a single one of the main cast. Except maybe Souma he was alright. Saki I don’t even know why she was there in the first place, gag chara? Rest of the characters were just plain annoying, none of the potential ships were even that good. Honda was literally the best (and only good) character in the film It’s a shame apparently this is a lot different from the novels because this clearly didn’t leave a good impression. Oh well at least the art was pretty nice I’m surpsired none of the kids got any negative repercussions for the actions that they did. Y’know, like potentially injuring the cops/workers on numerous occasions, threatening to blow up the fukin place. You’d think they’d get at least some sort of reprocessing for.....doing literal terrorist attacks. “Oh but they’re just kids” yea ok 2/10 easily the worst film I’ve seen :P |

 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Well this wasn't the movie I was expecting but it wasn't bad either. You don't see Yuri confessions that much in movies but I guess that's more usual now? Pretty interesting and nice movie in general I did quite like each character and the way they opened up to their actual feelings. A really nice movie in general if you ask me and I really liked the ending! |
 |
| it was just bad, I don't wanna bore myself to death in writing a wall of text to explain why I didn't like it, and I'm not even hard with anime. Too bad because the premise is interesting. 2/10 |
    |
| Morale matters aside, this was a pretty fun watch. Not a bad movie by any stretch but, at the same time, not great either, just about fine. I'll start with the downsides first. As hinted above, the morality messages from the movie are a little twisted in a few ways. Our main character and co. not reflecting back on the potential crimes that they accumulated and seemingly getting away with it due to "youth" is a little dubious in all honesty. Our main character making up this whole plan and come up with highly effective plans but then getting yurinoed at the end of the day was a little dampener during those emotional moments, lol. But, that aside, I liked the whole idea to strengthen their bonds during such a crunch time. As a whole, though, some of the other characters, such as the childhood friend of the megane lad, were very forgettable and had little to no real purpose, I felt. Secretary-san revealing their identities to the net was a seriously crappy move, though. Well done destroying their lives... On the flip-side, the art was really good and the animation fine with little down lapses here and there. Sound Department was a job well done though and the insert songs very fitting and a great company. I've seen a lot of complaints above on how apparently the movie was "too boring" and, to be honest, I didn't think at all. If anything, I would've appreciated a little more time at the start to flesh out a bit of the developments instead of throwing us right into the factory. Plus, some of the drama resolutions felt meh as a result of the short timespan too. Malet, a girl? Hey, at least our MC got a loli, am I right? xD, totally didn't see that coming. Final moments with the Politician finally demonstrating a glint of fatherhood was a nice addition, too. As such, I'm going to settle with a 6/10 here. Story & Characters were average-to-fine, Art+Animation & Sound Department very good and Entertainment Value good so a 6/10 seems appropriate to my experience. |

| Felt like Home Alone with the kids trying not to be caught by the adults. Suprised to see Aya reject Mamoru and actually be in love with Kaori. Fine movie with the friendship where kids be kids but not much reasoning on rebelling. I can understand Aya with her stubborn dad prioritising his job. But for the others I really needed to hear their motives. Like Malet would've been safer with the immigration bureau imo instead of some old dangerous factory and the adults possibly losing their job would be bad financially. At the end it didn't feel like they achieved anyhting out of this with their lives made public but at least they had their confession scene (not much character development). |

| @KANLen09 I have a feeling that at first Okuchi just wrote a school yuri, to which he added a male POV and links to the original novel to sell it as a new adaptation. Otherwise, I just don't understand why we had to follow this guy, if in fact this is a story about lesbians leaving the closet. As for the movie itself ... Well, I would compare it to Korra's Avatar. When initially non-LGBTQ content suddenly shifts the focus to "we're now a show about lesbians" so dramatically that it literally overshadows everything else and becomes the only thing people remember about it. In Korra's case, it was justified in its own way, considering the authors' past poor decisions, but why was it needed here? It could work as a romantic movie or even an LGBTQ message if the girls were originally the main characters, but due to the misplaced emphasis we were actually deceived by the seemingly obvious take of this story as "a boy saves a girl he likes", after that such a twist looks like silly yuri NTR, or artificially remove of actual romance from the recipe, as if friendship end made the film's events more meaningful. But no, it won't become a friendship movie just because his inherently romantic motivation hasn't paid off. For some reason, many contemporary writers have come to avoid real romance unless it is a "special" romance like LGBTQ or interracial relations, that is, appropriate for a political statement. Otherwise, they think that romance just only distracts from "important topics" in the plot. This annoys me terribly because if there is no actual romance on the show, people still take it for shipping and end up caring more about romance than anything else. It just doesn't work and does the opposite result. bastek66 said: ANN-sjw named it "ok boomer" the movie https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/seven-days-war/.154401 Typical ANN, what else can you say about this? Now I understand better why they were complaining about the fake social message in the movie, but now I wonder why Frog-kun ignored such a strong yuri bait. @jd2001z It's funny to compare kids fighting bad adults to stupid kids who obey Biden and a former strict prosecutor lol. However, this perfectly shows the danger of cheap populism. |

| Finally watched it, took a while for me to actually watch this since from what I heard from people this was boring but color me surprised I actually found this movie a lot exciting. It was really fun to watch some high school kids rebel against adults. All of them were pretty likeable, didn't like any one of them specifically. The tactics Mamoru came up with were quite amusing and the revealation part was quite touching. Lol so Aya was in love with Kaori all along, poor Mamoru XD. The biggest surprise was the fact that Malet was a girl, damn didn't see that coming at all. Mamoru got himself a loli, surely oneday she'll grow and they'll reunite. Pretty fun movie overall, enjoyed it quite a bit. |

| This was an exceptionally well done movie in terms of directing. It's simple, but it flows so well - the visuals, the music and the characters are engaging and they never stop for a moment. It's the kind of movie you need to see through the eyes of a kid. Like they said, one of their best quality is they never give up on what they think is right. It made me remember my childhood, all the things we've done together and some of then may have been stupid, but we never once doubted that we're right and the grownups are not. An important realization, which they didn't say out loud, was that Honjou was wrong when he said the internet exposed the truth about each of them. Under the circumstances, those were lies and the real truth came out through the bonds they formed together. The picture with Tamasurade, which I assume was from the student protests from the late 60's (she didn't look that old though), was a nice touch. Especially in today's apathetic world it's important that young people fight for what they think is right. They might not achieve what they set out to do, but they can still change the world in some capacity. The only place this movie stumbles in - and unfortunately falls right flat on its face - is the romance department towards the end! To pull off this kind of bait & switch, the movie would need to have an entirely different structure and a longer runtime. I'd really love to rate it higher, but I had to call bullshit at this point. |
| (|__/) Never give up, aim for the top! (='.'=) Top wo nerae! o(")(") Anime music: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=777199 |
| ok like The MC did not get the girl... but movie was ok...it took a yuri route..lol too bad the after consequences were not explored even a little |
 |
| Well it wasn't the best movie I ever watched but it was pretty nice, it had a good development of their relationship and in the end it was fun to watch, even if it was a bit silly i just wished they showed more of what happened to them after everything |
 |
| Well I came into this with low expectations, but in reality, the film eclipsed my expectations and turned out to be quite enjoyable. Good quality animation and the detail of the mine and machinery was enjoyable to watch. The notion of a bunch of kids pulling a stunt like this seemed absurd though, but there were moments of genius among the idiocy. Oh well, at least their hearts were in the right place. |
| Film that amazes more for the quality of the backgrounds and the close-ups, these have captured my attention, than for the story, told not too quickly and not too verbose. The problem itself is not the plot but the characters who fail to be convincing in their interpretation and seem to be forced in their interactions with others. The story also has some good twists, one of which even managed to displace me, but perhaps it also lacks a wrong choice of timing, the fault of the director or the screenplay, who knows! Character design not very nice, sorry, not very valued, but the animations were just fine. Summing up, the potential was there, but it wasn't exploited well. For now, since I have made a fairly superficial examination, I will give a symbolic vote based more on my first impressions than on a reasoned thought. For now my vote is: 2/10 PG, story 2/10, backgrounds 3/10 = 7/10 |
 |
| i assume that the lady at the end of the movie also went on an adventure similar to mamoru and friends, but it's really throwing me off because i thought that i missed a series/movie starring her and her friends when they were kids edit: it seems she was from the original novel according to another user in this thread?? |
  placeholder text |
| Good visuals, shit movie. The story writer didn't handle it well. 4/10 |
