Felt like just yesterday when I was waiting for this movie to come out. Anyways it was a wholesome watch as expected with a happy ending.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Saw it at the plane, don't know what to say bc altaite sickness :/. All I have to say it that it starts off looking cliched but improved later on. i love how they ended up setting up a pretty small goal.

An incredibly uplifting, motivational and charming movie. I honestly wasn't expecting to like it so much.
Don't know why I didn't watch this when it released and just saw this now after almost 4 years lol but better late than never hahaha.

It was a cute, wholesome, and entertaining film, but I thought I was going to like it more.

The visuals, animation, and all that were stunning; however, the story was mediocre in comparison. I liked the happy ending though; I thought it was nice compared to the live-action. 

It's not a bad film, and I wouldn't mind re-watching it in the future.

I'm sorry, but I have to say this:
Later scene, Tsuneo in crutch chasing Josee.... GTA 5 star! Temple Run! Cheetah VS gazelle! Police VS car theft in an american highway! Bonnie & Clyde vs the police!

Hah, now everything's out of my system. Go ahead, condemn me now. wwwwww

PS: I know it's supposed to be a peak emotional scene, climax of the show. But, come on.... I literally can't stop laughing throughout the entire "chase" scene. I'm very2 sorry, but my love for dark humor has won over me.

I think Eve’s insert songs and the overall message of this movie are the best parts.
Most characters were quite generic and I felt this movie really wanted me to cry, although it did get me at the end so there’s that.

Still a solid watch - 7/10

i liked that.
just that im a bit confused by the ending. why did josee randomly go to the zoo when mc asked if she could pick him up? and how are so many people so careless in this universe:D? the guy who accidentally pushed josee down the hill didnt react at all. if he was a decent human being he would have ignored the stupid dog and ran after josee. also how did mc happen to appear just then there? it seemed to me as if he was quite far away from josee and didnt even know where she had gone when he lost the tracks of her (literally).
also why did josee pack her house as if she was moving? actually now thinking about that again the credits showed a house being torn down so maybe thats why she packed up? doesnt explain why the house was torn down.

josee spoke in a weird way but maybe thats because she had lived with her grandma for who knows how long and we all know old people speak in an old fashioned way.
josee is cute.

Personally really love Josee's dialect. It adds more cuteness alongside her appearance.

Overall wholesome and good movie. Solid 9/10.

The drama and memes got a little heavy towards the end. The traffic accident sent the movie into a car crash for me because I loved absolutely everything before that. I still enjoyed it a lot I just wanted the wholesomeness from the start to continue and don't like that all these anime movies add so much unnecessary drama. Tsuneo and Kumiko are great I could've watched 2 hours of them just being happy together easily.

Gosh I loved this movie so much, Josee totally stole the show with her incredible personality. I loved her determination and how she was able to help the mc at the end with their cute lil story.

I would totally recommend anyone watching it, especially if you haven’t yet

9/10

Visuallly stunning for sure! Unfortunately, because of my extreme dislike of tsundere and yandere characters, I can’t be unbiased.

That was an amazing movie, but why did the grandma have to die? I hate when grandmas die.

The butterfly effect in this movie is something. If Mai kept her opinions to herself, none of the tragic events would have happened. Also I hate that haircut. I hope Josee would grow her hair back again.

One thing I don't get is that why Josee tore down her house. Couldn't she just keep living there, or rent it out if it gave her bad memories?
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

It took me this long to press play on this movie. While I wish I did it sooner, I loved it. From start to finish, I loved every second of it. The art, the characters, the music. Just perfect.

I now have a new favourite movie. :,D

This movie is one of my favorites. Its soundtrack and characters touched my soul at a fragile moment in my life and honestly it should have more recognition and even more notice. Its works are beautiful, the environment and even the plot are something that I find most beautiful that I have ever seen in my life, the life of Josee and Tsuneo is something incredible, how two such different people can complement each other in such a beautiful way and even the love conflicts in the movie are very well worked this movie is one of my favorites! Take a look at it whenever you like!

Oh! It took a while, but I managed to watch this movie. Disappointed? No! But I wouldn't complain about this work, because there are some mitigating factors in its favor. Yes, it's full of stereotypes and some context is predictable, but I didn't notice any forcing or situations in the movie so dramatic as to necessarily induce tears in the viewer. On its side, we have that it is based on a 1984 novel, so from then to today what worked once perhaps today in light of many things may no longer have the charm that it could transmit back then, then we have an exceptional graphic and sound sector and also the Character Design and animations were up to the level of a movie, then I also read that Loundraw had a hand in this movie, so I think his contribution is a point in favor of the movie, at least for me, then I don't know what other users think. It's a shame I couldn't better characterize the characters.

Very sweet. I really liked the movie. I only wish we got more romantic moments, maybe a stinger with them living together as a couple. It stinks she lost that cool house with her awesome bedroom too.

I don't know. I just wanted more cute, blushing Josey flustered at him saying or doing something. A sad movie, but I did not feel like crying. 9/10

P.S. Boys love her. She had 5 boyfriends at once lol.

josee is cute.
@HiljainenSipuli Josee thought he was moving on anyway, so she wanted to test herself and face her fears on her own. She figured they would be separated anyways, so she wanted to get used to living by herself.

Lots of people in this universe are selfish and cruel too.

I don't think the guy even realized what happened. He probably didn't even look back and assumed it was a light bump.

The magic of plot convenience. I suppose in universe it would be explained that the winding hill ended near where he happened to lose track of her, or perhaps he felt wistful and went back to the hill where he first met her.


Old Japanese style houses are notoriously difficult and expensive to repair because they're made with interlocking wood instead of nails. Most traditional buildings are gradually being torn down irl. There's a good chance it needed a lot of work done, so no one would buy it in that condition. I'm assuming Josee decided to sell the house because it would be too difficult for her to take care of herself. It's a shame. It was really cool, especially her room.

I couldn't tell, since it wasn't represented in the subtitles. It's probably partly her grandma and partly being a NEET.

Josie is very cute.

@Trap_Traps_Traps I agree. It wasn't a bad idea, but it meant we couldn't have time for relationship moments. And there are definitely some missed opportunities for Josee to scold him since she was born crippled.

How can your heart not melt with an ending like that? That was such an emotional and sweet anime movie. It’s really interesting to have a romance like this, which might seem basic at first but stands out thanks to how well written it is and to the unique and original aspects of the protagonists' interests and personalities. It’s also great to have a character in a wheelchair in this kind of story... I was afraid that it would take a dark path with the MC potentially dying in the car crash, so I highly appreciate this happy ending haha.
