| saw this in theaters yesterday, it's the first anime film i've went to see in real life. i was happy, i was mad, i cried, and felt that rollercoaster again. i like the little similarities and callbacks sakuta had in this movie that connects to the girls. the time travel/living the same day like koga, not being able to be seen like mai, and having two of him like futaba. neat little thing there. i don't think i like shouko very much as she is, but i have mad respect for her and how she wanted everyone (except her, of course) to remain happy |
| Watched it last night and it was pretty good and on par with the TV series. Everything gets resolved a bit too easily, but I don't really mind. Although I wasn't getting emotionally attached to anything that was going on, I still enjoyed the movie since the story and the characters had me interested. Also, I know it was supposed to be a serious moment and all, but me and half of the theater's audience started dying when Sakuta in a bunny outfit was about to be hit by the vehicle. That slo mo really just added more to the moment XD 7/10 |
 |
| It had its pacing issues and lack of exposition at times, but I was thoroughly entertained by this movie. It was emotional with its twists, entertaining with its jokes and made me appreciate Sakuta and Mai even more than I did before, since their relationship really felt genuine to me after seeing this. Shouko also got a ton of characterization, which was lovely since she was treated much better with her arc than most girls with their's. I'd rate this movie either an 8 or 9 (still undecided) but what I'm sure is that, its the 2nd best arc behind the first one with Mai. |
| Just watched it last night, first time I had the opportunity to watch an anime movie in theatres, great experience. Loved the movie, definitely a fantastic finale to the series. I'm just wondering if the movie set up a paradox... Sakuta didn't meet Shoko until the future, so how would his "present" (past) self want to donate his heart to her? Why would present/past Shoko have the motivation as a kid to have faith in surviving if she only met Sakuta in the future? I think it went a bit wonky with the time travel stuff there, I feel there is most certainly a paradox. Either way I loved the movie, I definitely had a few tears. 9/10. |
| Finally got to watch the movie today, originally was supposed to watch it last week on the same night Joker premiered. Unfortunately, someone thought it was funny to troll the theater and made some sort of threat which closed the place for the day. Anyways, I did ended up watching both Joker and AoButa on other days. Joker was a good watch and AoButa was fine. Stuck around to the end to hear the ED one last time before I never look back at this series again, besides playing against it often in Weiss Schwarz, since AoButa is very powerful and popular in that TCG. |

| I think this was the first series-related anime movie I've seen in a cinema. If it's supposed to feel like you're just watching the series, it certainly did that. Really, I enjoyed it, but I certainly enjoyed the 1st/Mai's arc first more, and to my own annoyance, I thought we were going to see a little more of her and Sakuta together. So my expectations were higher than they should have been. Still, putting that to the side, I certainly enjoyed the arc, especially when we got to the more dramatic moments; but a more fleshed out epilogue between Mai and Sakuta would have certainly put a cherry on top. So it's a 7/10 for me. |

| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
| I thought this movie was horrible in many levels. They had a movie budget and the animation actually looked worse than the show. Very surprised to come back and see the score is so high! Yet, I'm also very happy that people actually enjoyed their cinema experience. I really wished I would've liked it, but at least many people did! |
| Just watched. Was very happy to see the story continue, but I really want another sequal! |
 |
| Just watched it at my local cinemas today and it's worth it i enjoyed it a lot. |
 |
| After certain scene I thought this is going to be like one of those that had sad ending, ... and then "time travel" involved. Nonetheless I'm really enjoying it although the emotional level just didn't hit me. |

| I really enjoyed it, but the CG used looked so bad for a movie production. I am kinda conflicted with the ending though. I just want to say that I enjoyed. |
| So glad that it is a happy ending. Neither Mai, Shouko or anyone else must die...they all deserve to live on. Great movie! Awesome! |
 |
| just completed it. thank you cloverworks, though animation quality is not that good. so, sakuta's puberty syndrome was from he lost his heart to save shoko. in the end his heart still runs in his chest, so it means he would not have had puberty syndrome from the beginning? then, since everyone's puberty syndrome is solved, why is this (original novel) series still airing? is there any problem unsolved? i give it 7.5/10 |
| Production wise could have been much better for the scale of a movie but then I realize probably the series isn't that big to put such high expectations. It still lived up to the standard of a 'for fans only' movie though so I'm rating this the same as the show. The story was great. What made me love the series is how everything is the story directing. Like the conclussion to everything is told very well as always. Now I hope there will be a 2nd season. 8/10 anyway. |
| That was another successful story from this series. Everything went great from start to end, and I loved it. Everything is fine now although I thought the ending will be more sad, still I'm more glad that it does end up being in a good one. It was nice that this is also emotional, I really felt good crying at the last half of the movie. We got to know more the characters, especially Shouko and as well as Mai which is nice and that lead them to a decision where everyone lives. Anyways, getting a depressed Sakuta instead of running Sakuta from Kimi no Sei is still great. |
| my mind blown and speechless. they execute well the source really2 goodjob |
 |
| Thread Cleaned Pretty late on this, but please don't give reviews or summaries of the movie. The episode discussions are supposed to be for people who have already seen the episode so there's really no need for summaries. No need for spoiler tags for events that happen during the movie either, unless you want to refer to the source material past the episode. |
 challenges 🕺 forum sets 🪩 it's friday night 🕺 shrine 🪩 source 🕺 |
| not gonna lie, had barely any connection with shouko and her drama. also this whole dream stuff with resetting the timeline is such a plot convenience to end the story on a positive note. as someone mentioned above, the story is really compressed and it really feels so s1 was pretty average, so giving this movie anything higher than a 4 would be really pushing it |
 |
| Nice conclusion of the series. With the culmination of all arcs execute nicely in this movie. |
 |
| Guys, please forgive me for - not being able to follow whatever the heck was going on - finding that adult Shouko girl annoying - giving it a 6/10, waay short of it's current rating of 8.66 !? 80% of the movie went over my head. I hope I am the only one lol. |
 |
| Man this was a great movie, I despaired watching the last part. What a predicament it was, either save Mai san or Shoko san or die protecting both. Anyway glad it had a happy end. |
 |
| People, please stop acting like Tsundere girls. Say from your heart that this movie was an utter nonsensical joke disguised as a "smart and emotional" movie with a happy (more like convenient) ending. |
|
| The movie was messy and over the top dramatic but still enjoyable and entertaining enough to get a solid 7/10 from me I do think this movies definitely not praise worthy and is definitely overrated but not a bad movie. If you agree with me let be friends ;) |
| I'm lost for words, that's how amazing I thought it was. Seeing Mai die made me scream out because that's not something I ever want to see again, even though it was pretty obvious that she was gonna come out alive. The great thing about the ending was the fact that it was a happy ending with Shoko and Sakuta both recalling each other. Because most "tradegi" shows tend to end it one a bitter sweet note and that's why I'm so happy that we got a happy ending. All the characters shined throughout the whole movie! I also rank this as the second best arc just behind the 1st arc and toppling Kaedes arc for the number 2 spot. Now if somebody could just start translating the novels from volume 8 that'd be great! |

| Excellent movie! Absolutely incredible! What a ride for fans of the series. I’ve shed some tears multiple times and was on the edge of my chair often throughout the movie. I was gonna give this a 10/10 though I’m not so sure if I’m satisfied with the ending. Perhaps it was the right thing to happen but to have everything reset and revert.. mhm kinda hurts. But regardless this movie an ez 9/10 and on my favorites! MG I loved the setting and moods in this movie, whether it be the emotional scenes or the cozy christmas/winter backgrounds. This movie also got me thinking.. geez.. idk but I will surely remember this one and probably will rewatch it x times in the future so cute!  Now that’s how it should be done. Sweet place to live!  |

| The whole thing with the timelines and going back to change the past reminds me of Steins Gate |

Kenpls said: destructo22 said: So was Shoko's illness caused by her puberty syndrome? Or vice versa? Her illness was real. In the end everyone lost their memory. Mai ended up starring in a movie about the illness that Shoko had, they used it to spread awareness about organ donation. Which led to Shoko appearing healthy and presumably received a heart from someone else. yes thank god i had question on how shouko appearing healthy at the end, thanks for answering the question |
on 
| It wasn't as good as the series, at least for me. But it was still a good, satisfying and happy conclusion. |
