Excellent flick. Answered all the questions from the series. Added layers onto characters. Great action. And superlative animation. Blew me away.

And those crazy kids actually said the L-word at the end (love, not lesbian)

Maybe they'll kiss one day.

When their older I'm sure.

Very good movie. I had this on my completed list for a long time but now that I've rewatched it, how come I don't remember any of these scenes at all? Weird.

Seriously though, Izumi is so hot and so beautiful. I'm a bit pissed off because we didn't get to see much of her in the ending (just pictures). She deserved more than that!

Rewatching the entire franchise, after having completed it just a week back, really clears things up and once again it’s been a very enticing and marvellous journey to cherish and remember for a long time coming!

As for the movie, it was honestly a great watch! Many loose ends from the series were expanded on and effectively tied through the movie, but there’s still a few matters that are still uncertain but I’m assuming its a deliberate move and up to the viewers themselves to infer upon. Mirai’s amnesia at first felt off initially but I’m glad that the movie come out with two equally possible reasonings, by the way in my opinion she returned back to the living world because I believe Akihito’s inner battles between him and the Kyoukai no Kanata as a result of his grief resulted in her reappearance(release from Kyoukai no Kanata) but Kyoukai no Kanata’s resistance resulted in that memory loss of hers. Moving on, the usual hilarious sis-con and megane moments were very much vibrant throughout and that was pleasing to see! Hiro’omi’s manly hug in the end there just when the insert song kicked in was definitely the Lol moment and the touching hug between Akihito and Mirai along with their respective confessions were the most heartwmaing scenes of the episode! One issue I’d with the tv series was with the flat antagonists and while this movie didn’t do much to completely avert my thoughts on it, the little focus that both Fujima and Izumi(in particular) got were very crucial in my opinion and just made this ending a lot more wholesome and fulfilling! But well, Akihito’s mother still remains a big mystery and for some reason I like it this way. Finally, we got to see a lot more of Mirai’s past and it really got emotional quickly there. Nice to see some focus on her mother too and the importance of the ring which has been a prime factor of the show finally reaveled! All in all, a very delightful and wholesome movie to end the franchise on a great note!

Certainly not the best in terms of presentation, in fact the storyline of the tv series and the world building in particular is bonkers in all honesty, but it really excelled in the other departments. Moreover, something about this haphazard storytelling of this show made things more interesting of sorts and really livened up the experience of the watch. Can’t deny the premise of the show deserved a little more, nevertheless. On another note, sure the Characters were somewhat dull as a whole considering just three of the main leads actually received considerable development throughout the course of the franchise, but their interactions were just really intriguing and entertaining! Basically, it was amusing albeit being redundant at times and hence will go down as a memorably captivating show! Mirai, my favourite character of the series, Akihito and Hiro’omi in particular were glorious! Sound Department of the show was absolutely exemplary and stunning while the Art/Animation was bloody glorious even for KyoAni standards!

As such, the movie receives a solid 8.5/10 from me, an upgrade from the tv series (7.5/10)! I’ll surely remember this series for a long time coming and hopefully will come to it sometime in the near future. “Fuyoukai desu!”, just throwing this in here because this honestly is one of my favourite catchphrases ever!

That post-credits scene. Do they really want me to die by cuteness? Because God that was cute. So cute.
That villain whose name I can never quite remember already sucked in the anime and he kinda sucked here too, and the film was a bit rushed (only 20 minutes left and things were still getting worse and I was like "how are they gonna solve everything in here so quick?"), but I love all them characters, especially the main four, so, so much. <3

Sorry, I still can't get over how cute that ending scene was. I'm off to see it again.

What a satisfying conclusion. 10/10 without a doubt. I find it funny how months ago, I hated when things get really dramatic but somehow things has changed for me and I just loved how dramatic and emotional this movie was. I didn't mind the crying scenes at all. I wasn't as bothered regarding the memory loss like other people here since what happened in s1 still mattered to mirau. It was why she was still able to feel the same for Akikito despite losing her memories. The feelings she had in her didnt disappear because of how much she loved him from s1. Dont get me wrong, it still sucks that all her memories didnt return but I'm not as bothered by it.

Also, a side note. How they handled the romance near the end felt so much like something from a shoujo. It was too cute.

Movie that manages to be a cut above the previous one, the real reason for the success of this feature is to be found in the narration more balanced in moments of reflection and action; moreover, the narration is much more intimate and the participation of the characters is more effective at the level of incisivita on the events. The only flaw is that some characters are little exploited for reasons of time, so I think it was better to do a new season instead of making a movie to close the story of this anime, what a pity! Excellent graphics and animations, catchy the soundtrack and the ending.

I had such high hopes for this movie... But apparently I was wrong.

Why did they suddenly decide to take themselves so seriously? How am I supposed to treat this story like the darkest thing ever when there's literally an idol episode in the tv series?

This movie was WAY too edgy. I thought about stopping it when Black Mirai showed up. I mean, can the plot of this movie be any more cliché? Amnesia? The darkness within? What cheap plot twists. The tv series at least to me was much more fresh and entertaining.

I identified the most with Mirai in this movie: I just wanted it to end.

This was just not interesting. At least the initial series was better paced and until the ending was easy enough to follow. This sequel just adds nothing, it's essentially a rehash of the end of the series really, similar plots except this time it's the guy saving the girl. Also it's full of so many overdone Anime cliches. At least the animation was nice

Did not enjoy the Beyond the Boundary franchise anything like as much as I expected to.

I was legit crying the whole 90 min. of the movie.

Also, why couldn't Kuriyama get her memories back? All the past episodes feel like an empty waste to me... I'm not saying it's a bad thing. It just makes me really sad. Like a part of Kuriyama is forever forgotten. Or like they're love will never be fully complete because of the stuff they went through prior but was forgotten. Like their fight against Kyoukai no Kanata. That battle was very impactful, but Kuriyama will have forgotten about that. I'm pretty sure my grammar is terrible making this paragraph not understandable

Lots of crying, shouting and meh, had its moments. My biggest gripe was even before this, right from the setup, the end of the series, where no explanation is given as to why Mirai lost her memories, she just does, and that conveniently sets up the plot for this movie. 6.

Stupid. The older sister of Nase's family still alived. I considering it as a nonsense ever. It should be good if she just died like that crazy eyeglass warrior spirit scientist that started all of this dark matter thing with no other explanations. My satisfaction goes all down because of that shit. Really.

Atleast i've seen the continuations of their relations. Yeah, as expected, love really strong enough to prevented any darkness that stole your heart. So, kept your heart healthy with a strong love to your lover, okay? Like our love birds there that finally long lived together. I just really hope that 'Beyond the Boundary' thing really sealed off forever and never returned to the world.

I must be honest that the storyline is not finish at all. Too much question that can't never revealed, like Akihito mom's past and the continuations of her conversation with Kuriyama's mom. Then, to Aki's past as a kid, its still uncompleted on this movie. And then, the Beyond the Boundary initial history. Since KyoAni itself never released another continuity, i might be a little dissapointed about this serialization. However, as an anime only watcher, i shall say that this movie can meet my 'great' level criteria. I can't besiding KyoAni's amazing art and animation. They kept their best on this movie, its really good. I can't forgetting how sweet their interaction, even on the last seconds of this diabolic movie. I can't denied how well the battle shit on this movie directed, at every frame rate. Its too detailed orientation. So, with that shit, adding some minus appearance with unexplanations toward some of the plot hole, i give this movie a 9/10. Detail should be attached like these:
Story wise: 8
Art dept: 10
Sounds dept:10
Characters: 9
Enjoyment: 8.
With detail scored at 9.2.

Thats my short summary over this 'okay' movie.

The anime series was sloppy. The movie is no better. Mirai is irrirtating af. But in the second half I kept murmuring "please drop dead". Mirai kept whining she's not normal after every two minutes. Shut up b+tch. Nobody is normal around her. Everyone has his/her own problems. She kept saying "I'm not normal" yet dragged others to her bs. I gave a 6 to the anime series. But I'm giving the movie a 7 because they at least tried to explain some plots inspite of the shitty writing.

My mother and what an extraordinary movie, however, brother, I didn't expect Izumi-san to be behind the attacks at all, I was thinking a bit after seeing that he is human, but brother, how can he have such power ... And this is Akihito too a bit insensitive to hiding Mira's past ... I mean, how he thinks this happiness is talking about sheep. (; ´д `) ゞ > ︿ <
She can't believe how great this movie was, bro. How come ... I can't believe that guy was behind all the attacks and not poor Izumi-san and the poor Kuriyama. normal ... Brother, I really thought he was gone then, he saddened me quite a lot, and that's why Akihito's mother couldn't stay with him, because he was the guardian of the worlds? But if she had so much power, why didn't she help them too? Or poor Mitsuki and how sad she was but a little tearful for her personality. q (≧ ▽ ≦ q) [] ~ ( ̄ ▽  ̄) ~ * The girls with the glasses look the most kawaii, Akihito taught me well.ヾ (≧ ▽ ≦ *) o

There are still a few technical things that I'm still confused about, but it doesn't matter too much. What does matter is that our lovers are together, and that their love has conquered the Beyond the Boundary.

I really liked the somber tone it went for; it certainly added a weight to it all. I still found it to lack some real substance. They love each other, they saved the day, and that's it. If that's all it was going for, then that's alright. It just has to hit the right emotional notes with its audience, which clearly it did.

It's solid, but not quite amazing. I will say that this certainly is better directed than any of the episodes from the series, resulting in me being twice as invested in these characters than before. It's a good time, and succeeds in capitalizing on what the series has set up.

6/10

the problem with this movie is the drama and me feeling absolutely nothing. i did cry at the scene with her mother though, i thought that was beautifully incoporated.
for me otherwise this movie was more about its beautiful animation than the rest, which is still rather disappointing overall... i'm giving this a 6/10.

Finally got around to this movie, and yeah this was a very nice ending to the series, the ending of the TV anime left something to be desired but it did feel final, but I’d say this fixed most of the issues I had with the original ending, but of course that doesn’t mean this movie didn’t have its own problems lol.

The biggest for me was the plot with Miroku kinda ending like a wet fart, they built up the antagonist of the movie like it was some mystery, but there’s been no other villain in the entire show, it was pretty obvious it was Miroku lol, and I thought they had an interesting thing going on there, I was curious what this deal with the shade being within him and Izumi was since the anime didn’t answer that, but then they kinda just forgot about it and went all in on the Mirai focused finale. I’m all for focusing on Akihito and Mirai, but you can’t just set all that up and not do anything with it, I didn’t even realize the parasite shade got defeated, it sounded so OP but it basically had an off-screen death, and not to mention Izumi gets to come back from being under its control despite what Miroku said about being able to go inside her body, idk this whole plot just felt very unsatisfying to me, I thought it was really cool but they just couldn’t end it properly, oh well.

But with that out of the way, pretty much everything else about the movie I liked, KyoAni with a movie budget is a force to be reckoned with, the voice acting was phenomenal, the ending credits music was awesome, and I really loved the final destination of Mirai and Akihito’s relationship, yeah Mirai never quite got her memories back, which is really sad but I’ll take what we got, I was very happy to see these two finally be able to be together with nothing coming between them. Mitsuki and Hiroomi were also great in this movie, could’ve used more Mitsuki but that’s just my bias talking lol, I’m just glad she was pretty prominent in the movie at all, and Hiroomi taking over the Nase family made him a lot cooler, I’d say he’s already surpassed Izumi on this front, and speaking of Izumi she was really cool in this movie, her possessed self was reminding me of Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 5, previous ally shows up and is evil and in a skin tight body suit, way sexier lol, and although I may have been upset she got out alive, I’m still glad she and her siblings get to carry on.

And there was one other big thing answered, being just what the heck is up with Akihito’s mom, Yayoi, and basically it wasn’t really answered lol, but we did get an idea that she might be a god of some sort, or at least she’s related to that cursed blood clan, that’s cool and all but not the most satisfying of reveals. However, I did really like seeing her actually be a mom to Akihito, no idea if she’s really his mom but I found that scene really sweet, it actually made me like her beyond her looks. And I think with that I’ve mentioned everything I want to say, my movie posts always end up around this size or bigger but I’m glad I got all my thoughts down, it’s tough organizing them in a way that’s readable but it’s honest work lol. I’m sad to be saying goodbye to this series, but it was hell of a way to kick off my 2025 year of anime, it wasn’t a perfect series by any means but it was a ton of fun, I’ll miss it for sure, I definitely gotta check out more KyoAni shows after this.

It was alright. Now I watched the original show easily at least half a decade ago so I didn't remember anything. But I did watch the recap movie earlier today so I at least knew what I was in for anddddddd it was alright. I'll give it a 6, the animation was alright and the powers were "unique" either way it was alright.
