| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A pretty standard romance story with drama, some chlishes here and there, conclusion and the end. Would like some epilogue or time skip to see more of the characters, but this will do as well. The insert song was nice and the ending also good (as expected of BUMP OF CHICKEN). Yeah all in all good movie, more like these. 7/10 Also, the VA who voiced Yuna, i could not help myself but everytime she talked i saw Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket lol. |

| If this wasn't an adaptation and I hadn't read the original, I would have ranked this higher, probably. Don't misunderstand, I expected them to cut lots of content, for obvious reasons, but I can't be unbiased either, so... Nevertheless, its art was wonderful, so if you want a typical romance-dama movie with some cliché scenes to enjoy a boring afternoon, this is perfect, cute, and heartwarming.

And I really liked Akari's low-husky voice, and I see it's the same seiyuu who voiced Momiji in Furuba too. God. |

Without thinking about the source, the movie plot works quite well cuz they took the most important conflicts (and even changing some order or scene) is achieved this idea of comings and goings of falling in love. in terms of adaptation, i think the character presentation, what we may call first arc (Rio and Akari previous story) and Yuna and Rio development are the best of the scrip. but Akari and Kazu's backstories are missing, and their ending together seems very rushed to me. however, i enjoyed it a lot (and expected it for so long (ಥ◡ಥ) the settings are just beautiful, the bubbles and the reflections/silhouettes were super detailed, to emotional OST and the two times BUMP OF CHICKEN sounded did to my eyes water |
| I didn't really like this one. The dynamics and pacing felt off and it sadly outweighed it's positives for me. |
 |
| First heard of the movie through a promotional video of Bump of Chicken's "Gravity", since I like the band and the art style & visuals in the video were beautiful. Not having read the original manga, I can't really compare how good it was in terms of story completion. In general though the voice acting was good, the sceneries were beautiful, the character designs were noticeably shoujo-like and sadly the story didn't really grab me all that much. There were a few good scenes here and there, especially the part close to the end where one of BoC's songs played, but I didn't feel much empathy with the characters, the emotional connection to the plot was kind of missing, which might be due to the pretty cliché shoujo setting. All in all a visually beautiful movie, with an average story & characters. |
| Don't mind me, just passing by... |
| I was looking forward to this movie but this was quite dissapointing. I mean I liked it but it wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. Animation, visuals and direction were really great. A-1 did a great job on that but the story was quite lackluster. Felt like they tried to cram too much stuff in it but only were able to touch the surface on each of them, it was quite shallow. Thou there were some really beautiful moments, specially the confession scenes and I liked them a lot. The overall atmosphere of the movie was quite refreshing too and the song from Bump of Chicken was also great. Also Yuna's adorable. Okay movie overall but as I mentioned before I was expecting more. I guess adapting a manga that clearly had enough chapters for a TV anime into a movie was a bad idea after all. |
 |
| As a manga reader this movie as an adaptation wasn't perfect in fact they cut a lot of stuff which in turn made the characters feel inconsistent & the developments in relationships feel rushed. But on the other hand, A-1 pictures did the visuals & art justice especially at important scenes which looked beautiful. I liked the music since it really helped set the mood for its key scenes. Overall, this movie was underwhelming being average at best. It was rushed, the characters feel underdeveloped but the visuals look good & the music helped with its key scenes. |

| Despite the obvious pacing problem that seemed to be the latent enemy due to the classical reason, this one unexpectedly quite enjoyable. The two different heroine Yuna and Akari, also really likeable at my standard with all of their antics. The story itself to be honestly is just a generic cliche shoujo manga typical drama romance with how they handled everything. But the twist with Akari and Rio relations as a drama driven really caught off my guard at first. Too bad, the rushing development from two sides of couple seems to be not unavoidable, but its still bearable to understand, at least for me. In the end, i can't say the bad thing, and decided to cut the movie straightly from my personal enjoyment perspective. For me, its still decent and deserve my 8/10 after all. That's it all from me. |

| Meaning to watch the movie for a while and finally got the chance to! It could've certainly been better had it been in a 10-episode series format or so but this was still fairly good, imo. Romance-wise, mixed feelings here to be honest. Yuna x Rio couple got a lot of love from the staff during the school fest scene and that was fantastic but the buildup was so so at best. As for the Akari x Inui couple, definitely felt this was slightly better handled alongside the family struggles but anticlimactic towards the end. Also, got to give a shoutout to the wingman in Rio's friend! In any case, the Animation and Sound Department (God bless BUMP OF CHICKEN) were the shining pieces. Audiovisual experience, settled. All in all, I'll award this a generous 7/10. Wanted a bit more Romance elements but I'm fairly satisfied, honestly. |

| I am really glad that it was a happy ending for everyone! Although I do think the romance happened a bit too fast & sudden during the confession part (like for the girls' part I kinda understand the pace, but suddenly out of nowhere the guys are in love with them all of a sudden). I just think this part would have been better if they paced it a bit more, or maybe have more interactions with each other before the sudden confession from the boys. Maybe it would have been better as an anime series than movie. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie despite the fast pacing development. The voice actors & actresses did great job, and lovely music too. |
Swagernator said: So you meant similar voice I suppose? But the other guy clearly said he recognized that voice from somewhere so he definitely thought she is voiced by same seiyuu.ArimaKana said: Yuna isn't voice by same seiyuu as Tohru thou.

| They cut out a lot of stuff and crammed all 12 volumes into a short 2 hour movie. Rio's change of heart makes no sense in the movie, Rio developing feelings for Yuna was a slow process because she stayed by his side and helped him with his feelings towards Akari. This would have been so much better as a one cour anime instead of a movie. |
 |
| Fluffy. Made me sad seeing Akari setting up the tree & cooking & wishing that would help her mum & stepdad’s failing relationship. It’s never the kid’s job to try to fix their parent’s problem. Glad that it was a happy ending, which usually isn’t so. I liked the characters & how mature most of them were. Like Akari to begin with, and then Rio who recognised her efforts, respected her wishes & stopped & gave up his feelings for her. Also Kazuomi is seriously best boy, I liked him!!!! He’s observant & attentive & I loved how he treated Yuna, always there for her & caring in his own way. Like in the lift after leaving Rio’s & Akari’s, he asked why she was crying & patted her shoulder without prying. He’s so sweet♡ The narrative didn’t seem to focus too much on him tho.....I was wondering like so did he ever buy the camera......and then suddenly he had already gotten an honourable mention in the contest lol. Also didn’t even get a smidge of a hint that he was falling for Akari prior to her confessing........at least they briefly showed Rio starting to see Yuna in a different light, however quick the pacing might have been. Yuna is just.....typical airhead I wouldn’t befriend irl lol. I mean she’s sweet & real cute & all but so self-absorbed & insensitive. Which person in their right mind would keep going on n on about how sweet n happy their family is when they clearly know the other has family troubles lol I guess at least she was self-aware about it after.........lol Honourable mentions to the boys, even Rio’s friend that liked Yuna. They really do abide strictly to their bro code lolllol |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| I loved it great movie. I checked out the manga as expected it has cut a lot of content and changed a lot of thing. Overall I still like the movie (even though manga is better). one thing I am really disappointed about the movie is there are no kiss scene of real couple (but in manga there are lots of them). I am not sure why they didn't make the last about to kiss scene as a actual kiss scene. but whatever i guess |
  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |
|
| wow, disappointed is all I can say lol I mean, it was already surprising they chose to adapt this in a single movie rather than at the very least 1 cour but damn, they really sped through the whole thing. I don't usually mind subpar adaptations so long as at least stays consistent with the content but man, they really did this series dirty with this lol. So many things got omitted, halfway through it felt like it needed to fulfil a quota of getting key shoujo points across rather than developing the actual characters. Shame because the best part of the series imo was Yuna and Rio's development after they became a couple as well as how good they were together but all of that got completely cut out to finish off the Akari x Kazu pair (which I can understand due to time constraints). They also did retcon the ex-bf which I honestly don't mind, and went for an anime only ending which wasn't too bad considering the actual ending was decent at best Oh well, at least they managed to somewhat keep Yuna's pureness and must protecc. The confession scenes for what it's worth were beautifully animated 6/10 |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| The movie was a bit too cheesy imo. It also felt rushed. It would have been better as a series and cheesiness would have downed a bit too. |
 |
| It wasn't the best, but it was certainly enjoyable. Didn't know that the source manga was the same author of Ao Haru Ride. Coming from a movie-only perspective, it was a fun watch though it wasn't great or groundbreaking or anything. There were some standout scenes, such as early on when Yuna started believing the rumours but then being confronted with the truth that she didn't try to confirm herself. I liked that part. And I liked how Rio and Yuna turned out. Their mutual confession scene was great, and that goes for the music too! I didn't like Akari and Kazu as much. I actually like the pairing, it's just that it felt rushed towards the end. I also liked the family drama, but I think they underdeveloped that. All in all, pretty good. Don't expect a mind blowing or artistically amazing movie (though the visuals were great). 7 feels too low, but 8 feels way too high, so I'll settle on 7 even though it's closer to 7.5. |
 |
| That guy named Agatsuma kinda useless actually, I don't know if they tell more about him in the source, also I feel I can relate with Akari a lot. |
 |
| I think this story shouldn't be a movie, it should be a serie. The characters lacked development in their background. And the story arc where the romance between Akari and Rio is revealed was disappointing, this was just an excuse for Rio and Yuna, and Akari and Kazuomi to be more emotionally close to each other. I didn't like this movie and regret seeing it |
| As much as I love the manga, this movie shouldn't be a movie in the first place, it should be a TV series. In the manga, there were so many further development in the main couple's relationship while in the movie, the ratio was like 70% drama and 30% wholesomeness, they rushed out their whole development and ended up making the movie becoming of a less impactful series. The main couple was more of a forced couple because they're lacking in development, like seriously no "Kiss kiss fall in love" and instead just gathered the main couple and the other cast (which implies the same as they also have further development in the manga but wasn't adapted here) as wrap up walking down the streets?!!? Disappointing to say the least but otherwise it can indicate that this movie is just a promotion to the manga which nonetheless it's quite solid but not so great in the storytelling execution and storyboarding could've been from panel to panel with a cinematography that was one of the saving grace from the movie because it's beautiful but it's a waste without an effective storytelling. Go read the manga, there's a lot more discovering in the main couple's relationship and that's what you can tell by their character development is justified a lot there. 3/10. |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| Probably a good movie for romance lovers out there. Starting was good but the last half was somehow frustrating....a lot happened but finally happy ending though it was a bit cliche for me sometimes. But the animation was on fire as it's from A-1 pictures. |
| Felt like the story was just checking through all the standard romance tropes...so it was a rather standard romance anime. Seems like many things were rushed through, omitted and there was even an ending change from what I see in the comments, so will probably check out the manga some time... Gotta say though, the friendship between Yuna and Akari completely took the back seat as the movie progressed (whatever happened to wanting to become friends that will share everything with each other?) |
| It was an all right standard romance drama. Nothing out of the ordinary. I just wished they had done a bit more to establish the characters relationships. There was very little as to why they fell in love with each other. "He looked like the fairy tale prince" and "He was nice" isn't very much to go by. Also the friendship between Yuna and Akari that at least at the start and end of the movie was mentioned as somewhat central to everything was also rather weakly portrayed. I mean, yeah, we got the scene where Yuna defended Akari against the accusations that was emotional. But that was a bit of a one-off thing. And we never saw anything of the like from Akari's side. Whenever it would have called for her to confide in Yuna she pulled back and lied. I think it would have been better they hadn't skipped over the development at the start where Yuna changed from the initial overly shy personality to a bit more confident in herself. Then they could have maybe shown how Akari supported her in that development and the portrayal of the friendship would have a much more solid foundation. Lastly I think they skipped some of the story elements and conflicts. Like, they never adressed the distrust Rio's mother showed towards him. Sure, his infatuation with Akari was resolved from their end but his relationship to the mother would have called for mending. But it never came to that. |
