" Kindness can sometimes lead you to trouble. "  |
| All for a girl he loved in every world. Hmm this one is kinda bittersweet. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| um, ok then. I wish anime characters were just a little better and looking both ways before crossing the street, and maybe that room that held the prototype device that allows you to travel to parallel worlds maybe should've had a bit better security, rather than just having a door that any kid could open..?? Anyway, none of that matters because of course we need the movie to happen. And so what does happen? Shiori is trapped in this ghost form, and Koyomi spends his life trying to find a way to save her, and he eventually does, thanks to, beer bubbles? Not going to even bother and try to comprehend what the actual technical explanation is, but basically Koyomi realizes he must create a world where he and Shiori never meet, which will somehow allow her ghost to return to her body, and become ALIVE again. But Koyomi must first live a full live to an old age, where then he enters the capsule and dies(?), or enters a parallel dimension for, reasons. But what's-her-name (girl with glasses, and his wife) was initially opposed to the whole idea because it would mean, he would, disappear, maybe? Well anyway, that doesn't happen, and he manages to show up at a parallel world, I think, with glasses-girl still his wife, she be gardening and they are living in a pretty nice place. He's got some memory loss, as he doesn't remember what the reminder he scheduled was for, so he goes to check it out, and returns to the crossroads. So has Shiori been a ghost all this time, for his first life, and then ANOTHER 60+ years, when he wakes up again in the parallel world? Because shortly before Koyomi departs into the capsule, his old grandpa self tells ghost shiori to wait for him, to which she replies "that's gonna be a long time man, wtf". So she "waits" like almost 120 years as a ghost... or does she? Because it seems like SHE "wakes up" as well, wondering what she is doing at the crossroads... but hey whatever Koyomi returns to her, and they get married like they always wanted, but are they like, both old now or what? Or did they BOTH disappear into nothingness, bro my brain feels like nothingness after trying to make sense of what had just happened. If only they didn't jump to that parallel world at the start in an attempt to run away to a world where their original parents did not divorce so that they could marry each other as non-step-siblings. Because Koyomi's dad states, I think, that they could've still marry each other even if he married Shiori's mom. Kinda weird, but ok. Whatever, time to watch the other movie I guess, and it's also another hour and 40 minutes... with apparently even worse animation... sigh. I mean the animation isn't bad, by no means was I expecting something makoto-shinkai-movie-level, but I thought maybe it'd look a LITTLE better for being a movie- but that's not the case. It's just adequate enough. And in the other movie, doesn't seem like Shiori is present. Something tells me that watching THIS movie as the 2nd one makes for more emotional impact. Now unless watching the other movie somehow does in fact elevate them both as 2 halfs of a whole, then maybe it'll actually be good. Otherwise, I'm probably going to give both movies a 3 or 4 out of 10... |

| From my understanding, we have 2 Koyomis. At the age of 7, they chose to live with different parents. In world (A) he chose his father and in world (B), he chose to live with his mother and grandfather. There are other minor differences in appearance too, for example, Koyomi from world (A) has brown hair and green eyes, while Koyomi from world (B) has black hair and brown eyes, and he has never met Shiori. Also Kazune in world A has brown hair and red eyes and world (B) she has purple hair and blue eyes. In the first experiment, Koyomi transferred his consciousness to the parallel world (B) and Koyomi, who belonged to world (B), transferred his consciousness to world (A.) In world (A), Koyomi never married, but Koyomi, from world (B), never met Shiori and married Kazune. I just want to know, did Koyomi and Shiori marry each other in a parallel world? T-T |

| Wow what an movie. Its nice to see it from the very beginning since i already saw the other movie. It was nice to see that Koyomi and Shiori had a nice youth together until the tragic accident happened and everything just turned 180. Koyomi went through a lot of trouble to save Shiori but everytime he parallel shifted, Shiori was still a ghost until he came with the solution to create one where they never meet and that seemed to have worked, that ending was beautiful imo, to see Koyomi asking to marry Shiori. The old woman that Koyomi came across when she helped picking up the medicine is Shiori since she said that phrase, "It's a trivial matter, don't worry about it". Man i felt like i was watching an important movie in class or something, I learned quite a bit about parallel shifting and whatnot lol.  |
  |
| i watched this first. it was a pretty good introduction and i'm not confused, got the whole scope of the situation, at least i think so. about to watch boku ai, let's see how that goes. i liked shiori and koyomi scenes a lot, sad it got cut short. seems this is the bittersweet end. i also liked kazune though. 7/10 for me, music was great as well. |
 |
| This was a nice movie. Wish the production was a bit better but it's okay. Liked the sci-fi stuff, like how the existence of a "ghost" can be more or less explained without anything supernatural. I got a bit confused around the 1-hour mark with the world and artstyle changing, but it became more or less clear. Now onto BokuAi! But what's the medicine scene everyone's mentioning? Did I forget something? Do you mean the after credits scene? Edit: |

| I watched this first and personally thought it was a better watch order. Kimi would still be coherent but less emotional without Boku. Boku would be bland and confusing at times without Kimi. Overall, the science/plot was quite lackluster but the conclusion somewhat made up for it. |
 |
| He did though, I can't blame people for not understanding that because the movies are a mess. The real ending is when they're both on their "ghost forms" on the intersection and he manages to save her from being trapped there |
| I watched "Boku" first. "Kimi" ending is really confusing. The old Shiori was helping Old Koyomi in the background but at the same time Ghost Shiori is now happy with Ghost Koyomi? Shouldn't their consciousness take over or merged with the Old Koyomi and Shiori? Just like what happenned to Kazune in "Boku" movie? Now there are 2 separate entities in that world? DIdn't Koyomi said that their memory and personality will be erased? Why did the Old Shiori jokes like Shiori? |
| After watching both movies I still don't understand this, specially all the pseudoscience makes no sense. |
 |
| Such a boring movie compared to the other. If you watched the other first, save yourself some time and watch the last ~10 minutes before and after the ending song. Everything else was covered in the other movie. |
| Koyomi's dog Yuno died. He was helped to move to a parallel world where Yuno is alive, but his grandfather died. Death can't be altered. (Him asking his grandpa, you're alive? That was both rude and funny.) Koyomi and Shiori meet in the current world. Things developed, and their rash decisions led to Shiori roaming as a ghost, without a physical body. He spent years trying to find a way to bring her back and goes to see her often at the crossroads. Damn, he came to a conclusion of a world where he and Shiori don't meet, while the entire movie was about him finding a way to save Shiori and not wanting to live without her. Suddenly, we are shown a different world, where Yuno and his grandfather died. He doesn't interact with Shiori but gets close to Kazune. They get married and get older. But then, the past is shown where he tells what he intends to do. This new world is the only part that is confusing me. Post-credits scene seems like a mystery to me. |
 |
| I like shiori, but the ending not my taste, maybe it best for koyomi to not meet shiori at all |
 |
| The voice acting is so emotionless... I think that fits the nuance of the movie well but its still feels weird for an anime. I don't know if they got multiple voice actors/actresses for Koyomi, Kazune and Shiori character but they done their job very nicely. The OST are good too. The animation is watchable, though I expect for movie quality. They could've did it better. Okay so its... yeah another typical science fiction anime, I think (?). I decided to start by this one since people said that this movie explains the from the "scientific" side more. My brain couldn't process all in one tbh and I need to paused and take a lot of notes during watching it. I probably will grasp it more after I watch the another one. I don't really know what to comment for this one lol but it's sure great and enjoyable. I might rewatch both of the movies someday in reverse order. |

| I want to say that some scenes got me sad but then me thinking again made me smile and then laugh at the situation. Them thinking as kids "let's run away!" ...not considering their living, food and money needs. On that point, them even thinking that their parents wouldn't be okay with them marrying when they not even blood related or anything, they are pretty much just roomates with family tags on! Its laughable how Shiori died (Not really in that way) and the father finding out the reason why they did the transfer, is baffled by the fact they thought that they couldn't get married .-> Also...DOES NO ONE IN JAPAN LOOK LEFT AND RIGHT BEFORE CROSSING?! I get she was in the moment and taken back by seeing her parents together again...but damn kids what did you learn in Elementary school?! |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Also another thing, maybe its me but there was quite a lot of moments when the camera would focus on the MC's Nike shoes, almost as if there was a Nike product placement going on. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Decided to watch this first. Will watch BokuAi tomorrow. Interesting movie though I think they went overboard with the scientific talk and exposition moments. Not to mention that all this chaos happening because Shiori and Koyomi never bothered to search for marriage regulations regarding their situation online was plain stupid. If anything, they could have just talked with their parents but Shiori decided that jumping between universes was a more reasonable solution... okay. As for the ending, I would say it was a happy one ("Ghost Shiori and Koyomi" reuniting as well as their older versions doing the same) though it had its fair share of melancholy considering "Original Koyomi" spend/wasted all his life trying to save Shiori. No school life, no adolescence, no friends, apparently no marriage with Kazune, etc. Same for "Original Kazune" who spent most of her life accompanying "Original Koyomi" but as a simple friend/colleague. 6/10 - Kind of nonsensical for moments (Koyomi only needed to go back in time and tell Shiori not to do the shift since their marriage was still possible) but story ended up being engaging enough. Though I must say that the voice acting from both Koyomi and Shiori's VAs was incredibly poor. Especially Koyomi's. Well, now onto BokuAi. |
| Expected much more prom this movie. The plot made zero sense sometimes, the art wasn't that good, too. Also it's probably one of the most horrible voice acting I've ever heard. 6/10, moving on to the next one |
| I liked it overall, but did wish that it would've ended better. In the end, it was almost like there was no pay-off (and no, I don't really consider BokuAi a pay-off at all because it was really just an unrelated story despite all the links and implications). Shiori never got to be with her love and Koyomi spent his entire life saving her only to end up with someone else. |
| For those who missed it - 1. Your memories are lost when you do time shift. So Koyomi can't go back in time and tell Shiori not to parallel shift. 2. Koyomi's imaginary is linked with Shiori, so if he time shifts, she does as well. To be precise, he does a parallel time shift to bring Shiori's imaginary to a world line where they never meet (and Shiori lives). Even if he doesn't do anything, Shiori lives in Bokuverse. So what Koyomi does is basically merge Kimiverse's Shiori's imaginary to Bokuverse. This also merges his own imaginary to Bokuverse. 3. Shiori doesn't become a ghost in every parallel world. She simply dies. But to every world Koyomi travels to, Shiori travels as well. That's how Koyomi sees Shiori's ghost in Bokuverse at last, theoretically it's parallel shift followed by time shift. 4. Shiori's death is inevitable. Even if they realize that they can get married, she'll die anyway, as long as they are together. 5. He waited so long because Kazune convinced him not to cause suffering to his parents, kids, and grandkids, etc. Also he had some responsibilities as the director. He wanted to make his death look as natural as possible. Now over to one question - 1. Does Shiori have all or some memories from when she was a ghost? Atleast she remembers the promise to go to the crossing. Is it a memory or a strong feeling that persisted? |
