| I give this film a 9 out of 10. It's got many great qualities, but for some reason, it just didn't quite hit a home run in all sectors. I did find the piano arrangement of Beethoven's "Pathétique" Sonata, 2nd movement, fused with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to be a clever work of musical genius. One of those little nuggets you find from time to time in anime. (RIP Karl Haas) In a way, I was slightly disappointed that Naruse's love for Takumi wasn't mutual, after all they've been through together, but then he had his prior relationship and back to reality. The whole psychological blocking of speech is an interesting topic. Naruse imagines the Egg Prince who locks away her words. At least that's what she perceives from her child mind's eye view. The reality is she developed a sickening fear of speaking. It took the project of the class play to make her analyze what was going on internally. By writing the script for the play, she made explicit her understanding of what had happened to her, psychologically. From performing in that play, her catharsis was complete. It was a satisfying film over all, with some good ideas. I just haven't figured out why it falls a tad short of a masterpiece. Probably a combination of minor things. |
| The end of this movie got really real, really fast. I gave this a mid to strong 7/10. What really shined in this film for me was the relationship between Jun and her Mother. Even though I thought the plot was a little silly with Jun and the egg, they had a solid ending for what they gave me. Side note// I probably would of scored this lower in Jun and Takumi ended up together. I thought Jun's feelings towards to Takumi was more "hero-worship" than romantic and much better character development for Jun to fall for someone once she came out of forcing herself to not speak thing. (Team Tasaki confirmed) |
 |
| It was a good watch. Really like the four main characters although it was kinda shocking that Takumi just flat out rejects Jun and they didn't end up together. I would have loved to see how Jun would respond to Daiki's sudden confession. |
 |
| A1 Pictures know their shit. Great movie. I bought OST immediately after watching this btw. Anyone kows where can I read the manga online? I found only 2 chapters |

| Even though I'm disappointed that Jun and Takumi's ship didn't sail... I guess the last solo song by Jun really saved the show. It was really good! hats off to the VA. It is still way better than other average animes. The execution of the musical and its songs are really exceptional. I'd love to get the OST for that. |
| A solid 8.5/10 from me. I read spoilers beforehand so I knew what was going to happen but honestly, I think the route they took with the character's interpersonal relationships was much more realistic and even though many might've been initially disappointed that A didn't end up with B, the movie stayed true to what it was trying to portray and the musical production was top notch at contributing to that. The only other show I've ever seen that puts that much quality into its theme/music (only regarding singing elements) is Tari Tari, which is also has a beautiful message. Also, I ended up crying during the end where Jun walks down the aisle singing and the camera pans to her mother. right in the feels. |
| Damn, witnessing one of your parents cheat sucks. I hate both uncles and aunts who have cheated on each other, divorced, got back together, etc. often and it's one of the reasons I never want to get married. For some reason, the bullies in these high school drama series and movies seem more realistic than the good guys. I hate bullies with a passion but they seem to be portrayed more realistically than those 'genki!' and happy-go-lucky types. I've met a lot of classmates who were shy and awkward but never to Jun's level. I think in Japan and maybe other parts of the world and universe, milky way, beyond the black holes, there are people who are attracted to those types and find them a turn-on just like any other Anime character type like tsunderes, lolis, etc. Naruse Jun exploding like a mad witch in the abandoned love hotel was one of the most overly dramatic but funniest parts of this movie. Telling Sakagami that he ain't shit and his side bitch ain't hot either lol I was kind of not too surprised that Tasaki fell in love and confessed to Naruse. They had pretty good chemistry throughout the film and it's kind of cute that the guy who bullied her in the beginning falls for her. I think Sakagami and Natsuki are cookie-cutter, shit characters and the movie would've been absolutely perfect without them. I'm sure Tasaki has a bigger dick than Sakagami anyway. I just hope he didn't invite Naruse to a love hotel immediately. |
| 臭い- |
| Ehhhh, it was okay. If they were gonna have Daiki confess to Jun at the end, it would have bee nice to see more development between them. |
| i just found the kiss scene so i give 8/10. |
Sorry for my bad English  Humans see what they want to see |
| I never get enough of Drama, but this time I must say that this was one of the best anime movies, I've seen so far (I wonder why score is less than, 9) Story were sweet, bitter and yet very interesting to see, characters were good and had interesting back stories. |

| GREATEST ANIME EVAHHHH |
 |
| Hmm, pretty cliché and nothing really amazing happens, but the ending isn't bad. |
| Sorry but I don't agree really of that. Isn't love really where you take action just so the person will be saved no matter what the obstacle may be? Yeah maybe the guy just saw himself in Jun, so he wants to save her as replacement of not solving his own. But it's really different. Somehow I just can't accept the fact that they didn't end up, but they literally broke each other's shell through touching and reaching each others hearts with words, and when the time where the guy cried when Jun spoke his name is the very evidence of it, that they have reached their each other's soul. I just can't think of this scene as any other way but four simple letters..... And it's damn LOVE.... |
| " If a ghost's intention is to scare people, then people are definitely scarier because we have no way of knowing what their intention and thoughts are. " |
| Well that was a depressing start.. scum father can just go die for blaming his own daughter like that. The story is pretty normal or nothing exactly unique about it but well delivered. I really liked the music and osts. For me that ending play really hit home.. the moment Jun entered the scene singing that song oh damn. There's somewhat of a bittersweet ending but it was a fine conclusion after all. |
| I could not remember a time where I didn't cringe while watching this movie. Do they really have to say those cringeworthy dialogues? The scenes are VERY AWKWARD and at times feels stupid to watch. The soundtrack is great but not amazing. It was probably the best part of the movie as I see it. The animation is solid as well as the art style. The romance aspect was a letdown. There wasn't enough development with Natsuki and Takumi although their relationship is interesting. 7/10 I think it was good but not good enough to recommend to a friend. |
| Recommend me an anime |
| After the trainwreck that was SAO I this was really refreshing. Even though I saw the final pairings coming from a mile ago, I'm glad it turned out this way. I prefer TasakixNaruse. And who wants a boyfriend with smelly armpits anyway? XD |
| Mehhhhh. In the beginning I said "I hope this won't be like Kokoro Connect" and guess what, IT WAS. But I'm not that angry since at least it's reasonable that Takumi liked Nito, the main girl was just too weird (and I get her, I felt sorry for her, but I still didn't like her character that much). I was hoping that there would be some dialogue with her mom in the end. This felt kind of rushed and unfinished. The technical aspects of the movie were really great though, music, art, animation, everything was on point. But the plot "twist"/ending kind of ruined it for me. But I didn't expect that much anyway so it's ok. 6/10 |

I'll also add that there was a ton of wasted potential - while I didn't expect much, it did lead me on to think there's going to be much more to it, but I was ultimately just even more disappointed. The final coupling isn't even what makes me angry, the ending was just weak. But overall, it was an okay movie. 6/10 Also, the moment the music teacher spoke, I was like "This is definitely Ladd Russo". God I love this voice actor. |
  |
| The movie is good, i love stuff with music as a theme for them but...even if it deviates a lil from the standard or expected endings or pairings in romance (which i somewhat applaud since u wanna see different stuff happening) i think the cliche or rather expected ending/pairing was better fitting for the whole prince break the shell of the egg plot device they had going so yea it kinda lost me at the end |
 |
| so beautiful! I thought naruse would end up with takumi :< i like all of the songs omg her voice is so beautiful omfg |

| Holy shit that was literally a "I Love Emilia" moment, I didn't expect that at all, was sure tasaki like Naruse based on their relationship and interaction. Fuck that was the turnoff for the movie. Still give it a 8/10, would've been a 10/10 of the ending execution was better. And you don't build a character like naruse and made her relationship with tasaki so damn good, only for her to be rejected and paired tasaki with undeveloped nito, godamnit. I mean, nito barely had any character and the whole movie showed tasaki moved on and doesn't really cared for her. And that baseball guy didn't even develop any feelings for naruse in the entire story, how did he suddenly ike her in the end? Damn this pairing is as shitty as Erased and Aldnoah Zero's pairing ending |
| I really love Jun's character design and her sorta messy hair. Her voice is super cute too. Inori Minase was a great fit :) I went into this blind, so I definitely thought her character was going to be closer to how she was as a child. Seriously, fuck her dad. I can't believe he would say something like that to his daughter and traumatize her. Her mom didn't make it any better either, but it seems like she's started to open up again thanks to Takumi. I know it might have followed the same path as other romances by having Jun end up with Takumi, but I honestly wouldn't have minded it at all. They definitely had the most development together. Although we never really found out how Takumi and Natsuki ended up dating in middle school, it didn't seem like their connection with each other was ever prevalent. Daiki confessing to Jun at the end was also really surprising, but now that I think about it, you could sorta see him warm up to her bit by bit as the movie went on. I might've liked it better if Jun was in the musical from the very beginning, but her entrance as the voice of her heart was pretty great. And her singing was even better than my already-high expectations 😊 Ending was a bit bittersweet and I would've loved a happier ending for Jun, but it was an enjoyable movie overall. 7.5/10 |

| It felt really refreshing to see main character ending up with side characters. Like seriously, all I think about when I watch movie was "meh, main character gonna end up with the main character like they always do" but this movie was different. I think Sakagami ending up with Nittou made a lot of sense. Since Sakagami did kind of bring up how he felt good with her and wanted to thank Naruse for fixing their "relationship". This also give a happier ending to Nittou as she don't have to suffer having an unrequited love as she certainly have no chemistry with Tasaki. I also think that Naruse ending up with Tasaki kind of made sense. Tasaki's whole world was change by Naruse, he finally able to see his surroundings clearly (like realizing the class' talent) or even made up with his juniors, all thanks to Naruse. We also saw Tasaki not giving up on Naruse throughout the third act of the movie, which I found good as Sakagami was about to give up Naruse. |
| Watched this on live broadcast on Japanese TV, as the live-action is coming out soon in Japan, and I must say that I enjoyed the movie a lot more than I expected. I can see the flaws others are talking about, but I think its core message, and as a story overall, was well-executed. Sure, honestly I found the egg part weird and unneccessary (sometimes funny over emotional due to its ridiculousness) until the end, but I'm fine with the live-action not having it, it seems. The characters were good, not especially original, but suited - different in their own way. The art and music too was very well-done. And the ending? Everyone either seems to love it or hate it. However, I personally thought it resolved everything the story had set out, as well as leaving what happens next to the user's interpretation, which I believe was a great choice, that the events that happen are just a small part in the life, maybe the 'proper' beginning of the life of the MC. I will definitely check out AnoHana when I can, as people say AnoHana is just as good or better. |
| Liked not loved this movie. Which sounds about par for the course for Mari Okada. Unfortunately. Even though it came out before both of them. After such beautifully animated feels films recently. Like Kimi no Na Wa and Koe no Katachi. It kind of seems a little half assed. You saw your Dad cheat on your Mom? Big deal this girls deaf, and this girls dead! I mean unfair for sure but my lack of investment in the main plot or appreciation of the stakes definitely hurt the film for me. One of the things I weirdly found interesting about it. Was who ended up with who. They totally flip flopped where it obviously seemed like they were going. With the pairings at the end. And it wasn't a bad call. I'll remember that about the movie for a little bit. If nothing else. Plus I really liked Natsuki and her scene with Takumi at the end was hella cute. Not just because she's voiced by the very talented Sora Amamiya either. This movie kind of had an amazing cast though. Got to give it that. |

| ...It's not bad... The Shouting came 3 Times I think... I needed to Lowered my Speakers volume...cause It was so loud It scared me A little. Well... There were Boring Parts I admit... I yawn A few times... But I also Learn somethings... I should Be more Considerate after watching this... 7 out of 10 Points to voice acting... Music Lyrics. And Acceptance. Most of the time Disney do that... you know...the whole conveying Your words by Singing. Never get tired of that. Naruse's Made a pretty fantasy Story I say. Still...talking....egg huh? Edited: Oh Yeah Dai Tasaki right?...man That guy is cool dude. He says things that a main character would say... and was able to go all out. |

| Front Hooks...Oh yeah... |
| Lots of potential gone to waste. It set itself up to be fairly good but then came crashing down. Very cliche as well. |
    |
| Everyone don't seem to like the ending, but I loved it. Just because jun is the main girl doesn't mean that she should get the mc boy. I loved Takumi's personality, maybe it's because I can relate to him but for once we've got an anime that doesn't have the cliche of the main girl getting the main boy. Very good anime, 10/10. Easily. |

| For something made by the AnoHana team, this was incredibly average. It really failed to click with me, that is not to say that it was bad, just completely average. 5/10. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Although this movie did not fully understand it, it was a lost opportunity. Really excellent drawings, backgrounds and the ending. For now I give it as a vote 8/10. |
 |
| Decent anime that could do with the sequel. 7/10. |

 |
| The ending was painful considering the length of the movies, you are left assuming one of the ships is sailing smoothly and the other I think is likely to fail considering she was rejected a few hours earlier by someone else... but i'd rather they just resolved and showed that they did or did not happen as I can't see this being continued in any form, the manga is seemingly 4 chapters but I can only find 2 at best online so no idea if that has a conclusive ending to any ships. |
| I had actually high expectations for this movie, but the second half ruined it, and that annoying girl called Nito was really unnecessary, the musical was really boring as expected. The only things that I liked about this movie was Naruse's quick reactions and the animation plus some of the music other than that it was mediocre 7/10 |
| Good movie, but shouldn't be tagged as a music anime as well? |
 |
| A separate art department I found a mediocre title full of the most classic clichés of the genre, love triangles, character stereotypes and feelings screamed in the air. A pity but so is it. |
Raizel said: I had actually high expectations for this movie, but the second half ruined it, and that annoying girl called Nito was really unnecessary, the musical was really boring as expected. Nito save this film tho. |
| Teen angst drama aside this was an ok movie I guess, can't really say I enjoyed it as I couldn't connect with any of the characters, I honestly only gave this a try because I wanted to hear more Amamiya Sora who plays Natsuki. Movie was pretty bland... shallow and.. just boring for the most part, woulda gave this a 4 but with how it ended pretty balsy by not having the 2 MC's falling for each other just because put it to a 6 (plus, with how things were happening, Natsuki and Takumi ending up together is the realistic part, unless ofc the anime decided to do the fairy tale part and Takumi just randomly falls for Naruse which he showed no signs besides them having a similar experience and him just wanting to be there for her cause y'know, he went through that shit himself with no one to back him up, so it makes sense), also, with all the egg talk she had I wasn't that surprised that Jun ends up with the dude who played the egg role which is Daiki, pretty symbolic for her part, shit went down on her and then came the egg which started all this drama and it ended the drama with a new egg lol. Anyways yeah, overall a 6/10. |
  |
| Pretty enjoyable movie that definitely gets pretty heavy with the drama and the convenient eavesdropping, but some good music and some pretty good animation at points definitely helped balance it out |
