| Got to watch this in a cinema in Hong Kong, and found it pretty enjoyable despite its fairly short run. Of course, there were numerous elements of the show, like the entire side cast for example xD, that could have really worked with some more screen-time but the focal point of the movie, which was the romance between the two main leads, delivered and that’s more or less what I was looking for. In the end, I was fearing that the creators would cut back and take it easier for the sake of the main leads on the time travel issue but thankfully that was not the case. Got to respect her for plunging into the tunnel despite having a fairly successful career already built in place, but I guess there’s the writer’s block and the message that gave her the push to. Can’t say it was a blind decision exactly for those reasons, ig. As for the little sister in Karen-chan, I really loved the way she was handled in the tunnel. Made me get a little teary-eyed when she said the magic words there right before he was leaving. A parallel to the past, that really hit. Eill-san’s been on my playlist since Tokyo Revengers’ first ED and this movie solidified that. Finale was already there but the value is different now. Two loners with difficult personalities finding love and regaining a part of themselves in the process. As a romance enthusiast, that’s almost a checkmate for me liking the particular media. 8/10, will definitely be up for watching it again! Edit: Finally watched with the subtitles and the execution on the tunnel left a bit to be desired. Previously, I probably assumed there was a clear explanation for it hence the 8/10 mark, but the other departments of the movie was really spot on still. Loved the romance this time around too! So I'll go with strong 7/10. |

absolute_tk said: It’s in details Light Novel has a story after the movie ending (I would say it kinda semi-spinoff) Some events of both have a bit differences of what going on. There are some event that does not happen in the movie but LN did. Thanks for the spoilers! Next time, I suggest you use Spoiler tags like this. You can also edit the spoiler part of the comment above and put the spoiler tag in. |

| How should i say about this movie.... I has cut many of my favorite part in the novel, the story was ok, and there was some dialog change, but i still really enjoy the movie, the music by eill and the art was amazing, i still give it a 9/10 because this is the series that made me read light novel and it's the first novel i have ever bought |
| Wait...the translation that just came out in May isn't official right? The sentence structuring/wording is abysmal...that has to be a fan translation, right... |
| I finally got to see it and wow it was so worth it, such an beautifully made movie with an amazing story. In this movie you will experience happy things and sad things, which the actors portrayed very amazingly. |

| Visually and musically very beautiful, and had some great ideas, but didn't really do enough with it for me to get really invested. Cliched in some moments for sure, as expected from a romance sci-fi movie like this. Twists were overall quite predictable, but at least the visuals made it more impactful. Might have benefitted from a longer run time. The plot was overall quite standard, with the supernatural element being a wish fulfiller of sorts, and of course the characters had their share of hardships that they wanted to use the cave to help them out with, but in the end, I’m not particularly sure what the movie’s message really is. The ending was quite solid, though so predictable. 7/10 for now. It was a decent watch in my opinion. |
| Nice little romance at the end ngl.. Edit: It got released around 31 May (USA Time). |
 |
| Some cliched plot out there but it's good nonetheless. The visuals and animation was great. |
 |

| been looking forward to this for ages and it didn't disappoint. a pleasant watch and the scene where they recreated their first meeting was my favorite. sad that she aged 8 years but sweet ending with them reuniting, solid 8/10 for me. visually amazing and the music was great as well. |

| Two friends with different goals but same direction, investigating what's behind this mysterious tunnel. I like the composition when it seems like they're measuring time between the inside and outside of the tunnel. Also the end scene was cute when they were facing each other. Kaoru and Karen fights over trivial things. Her death is what's leading to why Kaoru's father (In his drunk mode) told Kaoru that he killed her in a not so direct way, but this flashback is telling otherwise, she was just trying to pick up a rhinoceros beetle for a her bro. In the beginning, I noticed that afterwards Anzu have done her introduction and sort of form an acquiantance with Kaoru, she reads a manga in the table all alone, and what's leading up to it is that she inherited her love of the medium from her grandfather, who was a manga artist. Anzu dreams of one day becoming a published mangaka herself, but she is nervous about meeting with publishers. Anzu's parents sucks ass though. I mean, the way they don't appreciate the grandfather's work and every-time she does something that follows the line of a mangaka, her parents just make her wish go woosh. I guess the only way her wish to come true was that tunnel after-all.. Regardless whether or not Kaoru's dad is drunk, his abusiveness towards his son just irks me a lot because they have no true bond whatsoever. Seeing his new mother is just another nightmare. Man Kaoru deserves better than this. It made me giggle when they were re-acting the first time they met while holding flowers hehe. I don't get why Kaoru didn't go to the tunnel with Anzu, but I guess he carried a whole lot of burden after what happened with the new mother. Kaoru proceeds to go to a door where it goes back in time when Karen was still alive. I have no clue if this is an alternative scenario where she was able to get the rhinoceros beetle successfuly, while in reality, that's the cause of her death.. The 8 years timeskip was definitely something to happen and Anzu is definitely lonely without Kaoru, but she was able to continue with her manga serialization! They eventually reunited and the kiss was nice. A happy end overall. Going to miss this for sure. It's not perfect by any means because I'll admit, the 2nd half went through an acceleration and not surprise this happened in most movie formats like what I tend to find it really a drawback is that they have all of these ideas with a lack of execution, but it did enough to spread its own message with a minimal storytelling. 6.5/10 |

| Great visuals but the story brought nothing. Feels like a budget Your Name. GNOATXELELITE said: The only reason might have been that she would need to lose real lifetime as well, but yeah it's quite possible to quickly go in, yell and kiss him and go back.Can someone explain me why she didn't go into the tunnel to bring him back (or at least go with him/discuss because he left so randomly) when he left without her ? Since the time is like 3000 times slower inside the tunnel from the oustide POV, wouldn't he have done like 30 steps at best if she had gone inside the tunnel ? I may have missed something but it kinda ruined the film for me. |
| That translation at the beginning was so funny, I mean, I could never picture somebody reply to "I don't have parents" with "That's good", LOL! Overall, I think it was a great movies. Not something outstanding, but very beautiful and emotional, pretty much got exactly what I expected from it. Also, am I the only one who thought My heart was pounding so hard at that moment! edit: also, to those who haven't watched the movie yet: use a camera translator for the untranslated texts, they are often important for the story |

| Whoa, Anzu hit someone right on the first day of her transfer. Kaoru's bird, Kii, can talk. He said he was taking a walk, a week was an unwelcome surprise. MoCoMo? Is it DoCoMo? Both of them are experimenting on the tunnel. Their conversations come off as dating to others 🤣🤣🤣. The texts on the phone were not subbed, so there could be something I'm missing. Why did he puke though? He left her behind to enter the tunnel, because it's not a place to get whatever you want, but instead a place to restore the past. If she didn't have the talent in the past, she can't restore it, so it's better for her to stay behind and develop herself. By the time he came back, button phone became smart phone. Though he couldn't bring back Karen, since the very reason for him to go inside the tunnel was to bring her back, at least in the end, he was able to realise that he needs to treasure the present and not try to bring the dead ones from the past back. They can always stay in the memory. The songs are good, more like the singers' voice is good. |

| Pretty short movie. Kind of "nothing special" vibe to it, but still good. That punch at the start was unexpected yet satisfying lol. Yeah, I think most of us knew from the start that MC would not be able to bring sister back. I can't even imagine how he'd then explain to authorities how a dead person is alive... It was a bit underwhelming how quickly he figured out he should've let sister go, and go to the present instead. Perhaps he needed to hear these words from sister? Dunno, a bit too rushed IMO. Glad the ending was happy and the couple met. Glad that MC told the girl not to go in tunnel since she was special already. Glad it didn't take "interstellar" levels of LONG time to return :D Anyways, I think the problem here is the movie is too short and characters didn't get enough time to develop. I'll give it solid 8/10. |
Kegals said: Can someone clarify the ending Was she still older than him by 13 years or did her age go back? She says something along the lines of “maybe we’ve been taken back by the tunnel” and i honestly couldn’t tell her age at the end. The translation is kinda hard to understand as well. Got curious and checked the novel. Here's what it says: Novel is 325 pages in English! They must've cut out a lot of content in adaptation. Honestly I'm too lazy to read it all though. |
| I had a high expectation but this turn out to be a disappointment. |
| The feeling when you know it's good but it could be better. Good animation, characters, and concept. I felt like it has actually so much potential that they could have made it so much better especially with the story writing and climax part. |
