| Despite the flash foward scene at the start and knowing what would eventually happen, how her death came about was so sudden and devastating. Their relationship was developing nicely and would have been enjoyable to see continue, wonder if they would have started dating. I was left with a depressing feeling of emptiness when it was over. Insert song during firework scene was perfect. 9/10 |
  |
| The ending segment made me up the score by one point, the story really came full circle there! Very enjoyable movie with great main heroine. And the Little Prince book fit the theme pretty well. I have some problems with Haruki as he was more or less just a tool and device to push the story forward and his character reflected that. I also didn't like how they forced him cry or ask for friendship in those two scenes as means of his developement but he was still good enough counterpart to the excellent girl who managed to promote the living more than anyone else. Other than those two scenes I really liked how this movie didn't forced the melodrama at all and how unlike many similiar anime it was actually the celebration of living intead and that's why I enjoyed it so much. In fact, instead of feeling sad in the end, I was full of positive energy as through their advantures together I was reminded what's the life really about. I didn't feel sad that Sakura is gone, instead I was glad that she founded her soulmate and had fun before she died and I was also moved when Haruki found out she actually read his final message that she was as important to him as he was to her and that they learned from each other. The ending twist wasn't really so shocking actually as it was hinted several times before but it was still great evasion to your obvious melodrama. If I have to find something not so great, it would be probably that whole ending part that felt bit overexplained and bit long but even then it managed to set the story for good conclusion in the end. 8/10 Really good reflection to meaning of living and optimistic one at that. Not really something that forces your tears and I can appreciate that. |
| Just one look at the movie's synopsis and the opening scene made me feel the need to brace myself for Sakura's passing since there's no saving her because most of a movie's a recollection of the time Haruki spent with her before she died. I had a feeling that the ominous stabbing news headline shown early on in the film was some sort of foreshadowing about remembering death but I never saw Sakura's ultimate cause of death coming. I was hesitantly anticipating her sickness to get worse once things started to look up for them both but that knife-happy bastard took the very little time she had left away from her when no one had expected it. Her bucket list had her and Haruki ending up in normally taboo situations between a boy and a girl but she was trying to live her life to the fullest after all. That and he's pretty much the only one who won't give in to the pity party even after he found out about her true condition...not in front of her at least. After that bittersweet Little Prince-style monologue she made for Haruki in the end, he finally cried at the end and that was also the time where I cried for him as well. Their fated meeting saved the both of them from the pain of loneliness and he learned how to be more friendly like the girl who accepted him for who he was. |
 |
| The way Sakura dies is very depressing. She already knows her fate yet it was still fast-forwarded for her. Hard for me to accept that ending. 😐 |
| This movie was perfect for me, omg, I wasn't expecting she would die like that! |
 |
| @Kristy_Delile - The boyfriend was not involved. The murderer was foreshadowed before there was a major connection between Sakura and Haruki, thus giving the boyfriend no reason to act. Also, while not in the movie, the novel explicitly confirms that it's a random person. |

| Immediatly knew people would be givin this alot shit, just like Your Lie in April had... both are similiar for sure, and the setting can easily bait people bitch about it. Noneles, and facing straigh the errors I thought would plage the movie, its direction and character development was defintily clean and neat. Simple but effective. I feel that if I was like a chick, I would have ALOT of similarities with Sakura, lol. The development our male MC had at the end of the movie really had it ending on an high note for me. 9.0/10 = 9 Bravo, this movie proves, stelling impact and good matter more than really clever or unpreditable plot! |
 |
| Pretty good watch. Wasn't particularly big on how they had her killed but I do enjoy stories where a stoic person's way of life changes after meeting someone, so that made up for it. The emotional break down scenes are always a sight. Maybe not for everyone but the most powerful moment for me was him seeing that she did read the message and then asked for permission to cry. |
| I definitely wasn't ready for this movie. The one thing that was weird to me was definitely the serial killer killing Sakura out of all them. (Though one could say she was there because everything lead up to it ... etc etc) Since everyone's comparing "Your Lie in April" with it, I'd say in my opinion it wasn't nearly as strong as this movie was. [Mainly poor timed comedic moments with it's serious tone at times] The monologue of Sakura, her message to Haruki ... the moments they shared ... truly beautiful. Especially the monologue touched me, definitely couldnt stop me from getting all teared up. Oh and that moment where Haruki asked if he could finally cry ... that hurt me :/ Sakura's message to Hiraki, the way she managed to make the most out of her life, how she managed to change his perspective. Beautiful. |

| Usualy original movie are boring to me , most of them are 4/10 , once it go 4 or less it usualy mean that its a pain to watch it, 0 being something that i hated so much that i want to erase my memories lol but this one is a 6/10 , those death joke and sexual joke were realy funny , laughed a lot Well standalone movie shouldnt be about story , 2hours arent enough , so this one the second one that i liked after aura Worse being koe no katachi , 3/10 thoses sound she make , ppl can think about her voice problem but they should think about their poor ears that are bleeding |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| I don't understand why people believe the characters were unrealistic. I've met people like the two leads and I got close to people in comically short periods of time. I agree that the alcohol scene and the post hug scene was a little out of place, but spare for those it was a great movie. It hit hard and it hit well. |
 |
| Best moment : Haruki and Sakura doing random things together Worst moment : bad ending, kinda don't like it, also I have to skip most part of Sakura epilogue (really, this made me sleepy), no confession of love at all from both sides, also Kyoko is kind of bitch The movie itself is a god-tier. Music, animation, in-between frames, pacing and character development a way too great for having those ending. I was ready to cry when Sakura didn't come in that cafe (thinking she lied about dispatched out from hospital), turns out she was killed and *boom* Yeah, that's it folks, you have your ending. 8/10 |
| 1/10 Kyoko is a disgusting bitch I wonder why every mc should end up with a girl that treat him like dirt |
 |
| I think most people, including myself, can agree the ending was somewhat lacking. That being said, I'm amazed at how many people completely missed the entire point of the movie. Regardless, while I may have had some issues with the movie, overall it was a memorable experience that I'll surely look back on in the future. |
 |
| I expected this movie to be emotional or at least I will tear up a bit instead what I got is a movie that is full of cringe worthy scenes. |
 |
| the story of the movie was a weak copy from Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. the way Sakura suddenly cling to a nerd , unsocial and inept person like Haruki and falls for him is odd and make no sense. |

saeed1m said: the story of the movie was a weak copy from Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. the way Sakura suddenly cling to a nerd , unsocial and inept person like Haruki and falls for him is odd and make no sense. @saeed1m - How can this be a copy of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso if that manga was completed in 2015, but the original novel for Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai was released in 2014? Even then, I heard that the novel for Suizou was being written for years before that. How is Haruki a "nerd"? Because he reads books? Inept? That means to be clumsy or without skill. He's clearly capable to socializing if he wishes, but he isn't willing. I wouldn't consider that inept. |

| this movie supossed to have scene that can hit your feels right? thanks to MC seiyuu emotionless act, he ruined that kind of mood. 7/10 zamandzoe said: Spoilers for some novel details that weren't included: I'll admit that it may not make as much sense in the movie, but in the novel, it fits with the theme. WTF, why the staff thought it was good idea to skip a scene that give viewer deeper impression than "Whaddafak just happened!?"-kind ending. What a bummer... |

| So the movie makes you like the main character and kill her. What's good about that? I'm sorry, but I can't bring myself to like the movie overall if all it goes to show is sadness in the end. |
| A very heartbreaking turn of events for Sakura. This is a tragedy yet it satisfies the soul. |
 |
| cried like a fucking baby :( |

| i actually liked it, it's quite emotional and i miss Sakura from now . |
 |
| This was a great movie, and one that I could easily find myself recommending to people. In fact, I enjoyed it more than the other the big two tearjerker movies (Your Name and A Silent Voice, obviously). This movie's decision to focus on just two major characters instead of five or six was welcome, as you genuinely got to see these two characters grow over the two hour run time of the film. And while this film isn't even in the same realm of beauty as either of those two aforementioned films, it was still gorgeous, and the voice actors did an incredible job. Haruki finally breaking down almost made me cry, which that alone is more than what most shows/movies are able to accomplish. Great movie. 8/10. |
| The first hour and 20 minutes or so are bland, 5/10 snoozefest. But like WOW the third act was bad. It couldn't convey anything visually creative throughout the entire movie and then we get this bleh ass color dream that barely looks interesting, is riddled with crappy looking cg, and to top it all off is complemented with whatever her name is monologuing for like 5 fucking hours. Script is bland, story is bland and cliche, dialogue is bland and cliche, characters are dull and uninteresting, bland well-made but uninspired backgrounds, bland looking characters, and worst of all it didn't make feel anything other than how annoyed I was at the ending scene. I cry at nearly everything and the closest this got was boring me to tears. 4/10. Slightly below average |
| The end is strange, she was simply killed, It's a very strange end. |

The style mimics the art from The Little Prince (which is a real book), as it was mentioned to be (one of) Sakura's favorite books. |

| The movie is nothing short of amazing, it was great. The two things that got me the most was the Fireworks scene and her, well... demise. The fireworks scene was very beautiful, I also felt happy when I saw those fireworks even though I'm just an audience. When the news broke that she was killed, I was just shocked, my jaw just dropped because of shock. Earlier, I thought that she had been taken to the hospital or something but I was wrong. I wanted for them to spend their remaining time together but, well, things don't always go as you want them to. Anyway, great movie. |

| Still watching the movie in this very moment, just wishing to registry somenthing... COME ON, The Little Prince? Really? "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed." The author was almost sadic in this point with the feelings of both characters. Also, the movie had a strong inspiration in that book. --------------- Haha, the guess was right. Amazing movie. Ishitateso said: I liked the anime adaptation better than the live-action movie being the former more faithful to the spirit of the novel. One of my little complaints was, judging by the scenes showed during Get-along-well-kun was reading Sakura's will, that the scriptwriter of the anime didn't seem to get how the the story of the Little Prince taming the fox connected to their relationship being there perhaps not even one moment referring to that part of Exupery's novel. yeah haha Not only this. A person who never read or knew the story of The Little Prince miss A LOT of the movie's meaning. The author focused the book many times without tell the audience anything what was it written about. In fact, the author assumed it clear: know The Little Prince is a prerequisite to watch this movie. Sorry for the millenials (and maybe... japaneses main audience?) who never did.

| My biggest complaint about this movie is the fact that she got killed by the serial killer. That's just outright messed up considering we'll knew that she was expected to die from her illness. It just felt more tragic since she could've had more time to spend with the Haruki. I liked seeing Haruki change as a person thanks to his bond with her. Kyoko was just a real piece of work. The worst character in the movie and ended still as my least favorite. The ending where he was reading the book really had me tearing up a lot. Overall it was an enjoyable movie despite for me the first like 30 minutes or so I was on the fence. |

| Well, if she knows that she'll die of organ defect soon.. What can be said really to this?.. I guess.. I guess, I would say something like: "Make sure you do, what you want in this period.. Don't waste time on school, unless you want it, and it's alright, if you want to - school can be nice as well, not always, though.." Something like this.. Because.. Really, just do, what you want to do in this life during the last days, if you know they are last.. Whatever it is, what you'd want to experience in life.. Though, this girl is taking his attitude friendly, I'd just think that he's busy, so that's why not responding, and be done with that.. I wonder, if she's "friendly" like this with others as well.. Taking things in a funny way, or something like that.. Being persistent.. And that's why she was important for some other people as well at the funeral.. I guess, it's admirable, if Sakura knows that she just wants to casually spend her days.. Admirable, if it's truly, what she wants.. .. It's also admirable, if she has to do list.. I think that both casual things and specific things are important in life, aren't they?.. I like, how their relationships were during eating together.. They had nice heart to heart talk.. It was quite a talk, actually, already making their relationships closer than some of pairs in anime, real life, or anywhere.. Not everyone have conversations like this.. I especially liked, how they are able to say negative things about each other as well, but in not "total", but more complex way.. Like the topic of having thoughts about what others think.. It's not only bad or good.. It's also about how it makes other feel, how it makes feel yourself.. Also it's not that Sakura is stupid with doing stupid things.. She sometimes just does so, but she isn't stupid.. Or how it's alright, even if you perceive someone as boring looking.. It honestly isn't again bad as well.. Well, maybe it is/ isn't in itself, but there are also other things, right?.. It's how maybe you can be sinful, not successful in something, or some other things - but still be good in others.. Overall, I really enjoyed their talk.. Though.. Why really she chose him out of everyone to spend time with, to have talks with?.. Is it because of something good besides, and what is it?.. To be honest, it's probably because of coincidence.. Not of his personality or anything.. Just he read her diary, she might be hard to open about that thing.. And now.. And now she's just wanting to try to spend more time with person who already knows, to try to be open with him more, look, what comes out of this.. At least, I think, that's how she feels at this beginning of their relationship.. And about Haruki - I think, he's politely trying to give her something as last things.. At least, that's how it seems to me, how our heroes feel in the beginning.. I feel you bro about world of books being more interested than friends, I feel you.. ;p I mean, I had friends and love relationships, and still have friends.. But really I sometimes would choose their company to good anime, really.. Not that it makes them bad or anything, of course.. ;p But what you do with friends or lover, really?.. What you get there, you can get these things elsewhere.. Yeah, not the same things, but you wouldn't get the same things with different lover as well, would you?.. ;p Some shared maybe, but not the same.. Anyway, yeah.. I like, how this anime is with views.. I hope, though, that it won't be an anime about transformation from these things, which were supposedly wrong all along.. So far I don't feel like it's this kind of story, but you never know.. So far - I feel respect in this anime to different, to all kinds of views person can have.. ;p Someone more persistent than Sakura?.. Hard to believe.. ;p Btw, it feels like she describes some of her friends as initiative, controlling, active, or stuff close to this.. I guess, it's a change to talk with Haruki, hm?.. ;p With him being more willing to be taken, not pushy as her previous boyfriend was.. Hm.. It's a good point, actually.. But also questionable.. I wonder, if her friends would indeed become more distant or not, if they'd learn about her soon death.. I guess, it could be like that.. Not knowing what to do, and just retreating.. It's alright, it can be in human nature.. I like, how they can openly tell each other, what they want.. Like this "read less books, and talk with people more".. Yeah, an honest opinion is better than sweet lie, I guess.. Though, I guess sometimes sweet lies can be sweet as well.. ;p But yeah.. I still am ok with that phrase, as it's just her opinion, Haruki is free to do, what he wants, really.. ;p Was it really that hard of a question?.. That last one of hers?.. I wonder, why.. Was it really that terrifying or something for Haruki?.. To hear and learn that she is afraid of the death?.. Was it this?.. Or what?.. Honestly, anime is great so far, but in this point I don't feel like it was a nice moment, probably just to create drama, it wasn't that hard of a question.. But well, maybe just not relatable to me - I'll keep it as this.. I just couldn't understand.. You know.. Does it really matter?.. If it even was coincidence, so what?.. If you believe that it's truly only you who decided who to be friends with, who to begin to have love relationships, or anything else - it's not like that.. There is part of chance in everything.. In thing you started to play pool, not darts.. In thing you enjoy Counter-Strike, not Overwatch.. In any thing.. There are chances in them.. Still.. After chance.. After that you can decide to have these times you enjoyed again.. Or not.. Or do that.. I understand and respect point Sakura's point of view about relationships being really important part of life.. Still, want to say that it's only to live fully for her.. Life is possible without that, even if you'd believe in contrary.. Still, I respect her opinion.. It's good, when you know, what you value in your life, what is important for you.. Yeah, it felt like this cafe could be an end.. Last message.. Unless he sends it again, but probably this is last.. And.. Reality hits, isn't it?.. I actually like that they did it.. It's cruel, but.. It's real.. I mean, she probably got stabbed by doing her heroics, right?.. Yeah, it was courageous and stuff, admirable even, right?.. But in our cruel world, you must really sometimes just go by the dangerous situation, not get involved.. It's very cruel.. And very sad.. It's very, very sad for me.. But it's reality.. Yes, their relationship indeed was beyond simple words of "love" or "friend".. Especially as how little meaning these words bear nowadays anyway.. It was a great anime.. Enjoyed it much.. To say the least.. I think, I'll want to rewatch it later.. Maybe some times, but will see.. But.. It was a great anime.. |
| Fantastic movie, I didn't expect the fluid direction and amazing energy throughout it. The only thing I hate is the totally unnecessary cheap crap twist they pulled towards the end. I mean c'mon, that's some bullshit coincidence if I ever saw one. |

| Terrible story, mediocre characters. Super slow. Not worth watching there are much better things you could watch instead of this. It’s average at best don’t be fooled thinking you’re going to watch something great. |
 |
| The twist they did is pretty bad imo.. Things could have been done better regarding that. But overall it's pretty good. Would have been better if it turned out differently in a perfect world. |
Nova_I_Dineth said: I have a question. Haruki sent a message saying I want to eat your pancreas in the cafe while waiting for Sakura. And She has sent him a message saying she has left the home. but after her death, when Haruki checks her diary, she has written that phrase from Haruki's message: "I want to eat your pancreas". and then he says "oh so it has delivered ". so the question is how was she able to write that in the diary. he sent that after she left the home and she died after that. She wrote about it in her diary at some earlier time while she was writing the farewell notes and he wrote it in his message to her on the day of her death. It refers to a conversation they had a while ago. They show it at the start of the movie. The first library scene together where she says she saw a program on TV where if you eat the someone else's healthy organ that is sick in you, you will get cured. Hence, "I want to eat your pancreas". Later on they both seem to have arrived at a similar feeling about their relationship and how each influenced the other and both chose this same exact phrase to portray it and that is the beauty/point of the movie. |

FeelsSoBadMan said: @TheLonelyCynic I take that you watched it at Madman premiere screening event, if so I was there too :) (if I'm wrong then please ignore and sorry about that) Back to the topic, I came in with high expectations as this movie was being touted as the next movie hit like Your Name or A Silent Voice, I'm afraid I shouldn't have because it somewhat ruins the experience. It wasn't inherently bad, it's just wasn't good enough. There are various factors (cliched-riddled plot, characters felt too unrealistic) that explains why. However they do delivered the message well and had some emotional moments done right. The movie in my opinion is essentially . tl;dr decent but not great, don't go in with any expectations and the movie will be enjoyable. 7/10 Sorry this is necro af, but I just watched it and tbh I feel like the issue isn't watching it with high expectations, rather to me it felt like a different style entirely. Unlike the other anime you mentioned this one wasn't really trying to wow you with striking visuals or masterful music choice, it had a much more gritty down to earth feel to it. I think its plainness was wholly intentional, not a failure to live up to expectations. Again sorry if you no longer give af lol |

| Just watched it and I have a question regarding this scene |
| i dont remember the context but perhaps she might overdose? |
