How this movie can have such a high rating?

I had somewhat high expectations, it was announced everywhere in Japan and you could hear one of the songs from the movie everywhere you went, but it was such a huge disappointment. The animation was quite poor with all CGI characters, but although this is the first thing I noticed, it is not even the worst thing of the movie. The characters are completely plain, with zero emotions and personality. For some reason the voice of Ruri sounded very amateur, with distorted recording and 0 acting abilities. It is also quite insulting how devoid of a personality Ruri is, supernatural things happening all around her and she doesnt question them or panic, simply accepts it. Oh and also do you remember Misuzu? Yeah me neither, what was the point of having her? It seemed the story would become a love triangle but not even that, she appeared on a few scenes, it seemed like she was going to develop or do something at all, but then poof, gone and never mentioned again. Why showing her in the first place if you wanted to focus the story on Ruri anyway? The way the romance developed also felt artificial because it was treated like a training arc with background music and random scenes, so we didnt even get to understand how they started to like each other or care about them or their relationship.

The world building is very poor, with very little logical explanation about most things, and some things feel stupid, like having to "kidnap" the data of a person from the AllTale to insert it into the head of a brain-dead person (how???). If it was just data you could just... copy it? The powers also contradicted themselves. During the first moments it is explained that you have to touch something to create things, and that creating complex things takes a lot of time, but by the end of the movie the MC is breaking all those rules creating huge and complex things out of thin air almost instantly. That and the plot twist of Naomi actually being the person in comma and living on the moon... just a closure to an already absurd plot... I am not sure how I was able to finish this shitshow, and I dont understand either how it got an average score of 7.5, please someone explain, I am missing something?

The only good thing about the movie were the backgrounds, really well drawn and detailed, represented very well many famous places from Kyoto, and the animation when Naomi moved to the other world was really impressive.

7.5 is a decent score but it’s not like it’s crazy good. A perceived average RomCom can score that easily.

The time stuff / animation / and music probably just boosts the crap out of the rating. I thoroughly enjoyed it

i think i rated it a 5. That’s legit perfect for this show. It’s just very mid with everything (although the animation is a 1). I had it on my list and was counting down the anime until i watched it because i thought i was gunna fucking love it. Then i did and it was one of the most disappointing watches ever. I could allow 6 but 7.5? NAH

The thing is that the romcom aspect is the worst part of the movie. A romcom has somewhat decent characters so you end up caring about them and their relationship, on this movie none of that existed. Ruri was a token love interest with no personality, objectives or will on her own, its like Peach in old Mario games, only there for the protagonist to have an objective to obtain. That for the rom part, as there was literally 0 com on this movie.


Can you elaborate? Im trying to find out things I might have missed that made it good, but so far the more I think about it the more I dislike it.



Very close to my score (4), but I think calling it mid is an overstatement. Mid is something not good, but not bad either, something you forget. This movie is not that, is worse than mid, and I kept thinking about it for hours and even decided to make this post because of how stupid and bad it was.
