| After seeing it today at the supposed world premiere I have to say I was a bit disappointed by it. It started off with promise but eventually just became a confusing mess. I wasn't sure what had happened for the last half of the film and I hated the ending. A lot of things weren't made clear. But what did everyone else think? |
| this is a show, of course |

 Please wait whilst I wave my tentacles |
| Ok we'll I walked out so can someone summarise the post credit ending for me? |

Dxai said: I was pretty tired so I drifted off during the first third and I thought I had missed some important plot points that explain what happens, turns out they weren't explained in the first place. If I watch it again I'll probably grab a better understanding of what happens but I found it pretty incomprehensible, although it wasn't entirely bad. Edit: I'm also annoyed at both the reviews up for it. Extremely harsh and it looks quick-written just to brag about being at a premiere. It was written as a warning, who would want to brag about seeing that horror show. They are not harsh they are realistic. |

| I feel some parts such as working out who Kyougoko's parents are is maybe ok to leave ambiguous, but some stuff such as the mobile phones was left to sit and there shouldn't be any ambiguity about it. Also I wish I didn't rush out of there I should have known there would be extra scenes, doesnt clear up some of the mess of the plot though even if it is a better ending. |

| Oh boy, wow that was bad! First off, shit ain't explained, the "Characters" are dull, uninteresting idiots whom I have no reason to connect to, the writing was poor, the pacing was horrific, the pretencious use of Shakesprere quotes was laughable, and featured one of the most abrupt and badly done endings to a movie I've seen in a while! Another distasteful disaster from Sunrise. You know its a bad adaption when I've not even read the source material, if you want a great anime that is not only a great adaption, they stand on their own as amazing anime productions, then check out Hosoda's The Girl Who Leapt Through Time & Osamu Dezaki's Treasure Island. |

| @7thcircle I stayed for that scene, didn't do jack shit, just more stupid pointless "hilarious" antics. |
| Reassured to see the general consensus is that this wasn't a particularly great production... If anyone thinks that the plot was somehow justified because it left 'certain things up to the imagination' and that the characters acted in believable and 'natural' ways, then quite frankly you're deluding yourselves, or have very, very strange friends... |
| Everyone i was with could only call it terrible, and i can easily see why. It was badly organised, everything felt all over the place. The psychic stuff was very much kept in the dark, heck, it only gets shown here or there until late into the movie. Characters are there, but they don't feel like ones you can really relate to, and the dream sections made no sense in some ways. While some where ok, other bits felt like they where hinting at something that never actually is explained. I honestly think that, if the crystal was explained a bit more and one or two bits here or there where switched about, it wouldn't be as major a flop as it turned out to be. I didn't call it terrible, but it's definitely no better than mediocre. The suggestion i got given to me was, you're better off looking into all the other adaptations, or even the novel itself instead of ever watching this, take that as you will. |
| Watanabe deserved better than this. Also, movie should've been handed to a real professional. |
| I play, the haters lose. |
| I'd say above all it was alright. I was with the plot up around just past the second half of the movie, then things just got really translucent too quickly. I mean truthfully, I thought the first half was splendid. A nice balance of mystery, drama, and dialogue. Once they got to unfolding that's where the movie lost most people, because not much was explained nor was delved upon which puts the first half to shame since it was slowly building up so well. Being critical, way to critical I might add, I can see why people give this 7's, 6's, and lower. There IS plenty of rewatch value because the story ends up being so loose and the visuals are phenomenal. It's honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've seen in years. I can see people watching this just to further examine the spectacularly colorful luminescent scenery. Frankly it's a solid 8/10. It might have been terrible mingled towards the end but it's not so horribly done that it's unwatchable nor does it leave you hating the movie in general. The way I see it there are many strong points and a handful of misguided decisions. |

| This movie is now actually one of my favorites. I enjoyed it that much. |
| one word, "disgusting" :P |
 |
| I just finished it. I'm actually sick right now and the film intensified my headache. Indeed it was full of promise but it got so confusing and messy. I was o____o???? the whole time and I only watched the whole thing because I was hoping it'd make sense it the end but it didn't. |

| trainwreck. the art is pretty decent though, and the opening theme is pretty good (as expected from Supercell) |

| I came to this topic because...i don't know, maybe I have no telepathy so I couldn't understand what's going on in the movie but (un)fortunately I'm not alone, yay. Maybe someone who gave more than 7 can explain why? Ok, the main plot was clear but everything else - just mindfuck. The art was wonderful but srsly, sometimes I thought that THEY don't know what to do so...randomly they gave lots of special effects you know million petals, soap-bubbles and refraction of lights. Natsuki, being tsundere it's too difficult for you. octobrr said: I only watched the whole thing because I was hoping it'd make sense it the end but it didn't. indeed. |
| have to admit i really love the art and animation. start off seems promising but the more it goes the deep it's fall. keep watching to the end cuz i hope something would come up and everything would make sense but IT IS NOT. AND THAT SCENE AFTER CREDIT JUST MADE EVERY MORE FUCK UP................ >.< [quote=Tosa]Maybe someone who gave more than 7 can explain[/spoiler] |

| Man F***k this!! The ending couples are so wrong. Honestly I really hate the pretty-boy types in anime that always act so cool. And most of the time they have some dark personality or secret too. And also whats up with giving Ken the leftovers?!? The long haired girl was really pretty and awesome, smart, part of the student council,etc... The childhood friend freaking looked like a 10 year old boy with that short hair and chicken body and was really obnoxious and annoying. Come on, they spent so much money on animation and couldn't make a second attractive female?!?!?! Well I guess I can't blame them too much, since Ken was portrayed as a clumsy loser. |

| Didn't finish the movie, but will in the future. But from what I saw, I can definitely confirm that almost nothing the description promised us happened. And I was already disappointed with the content I saw yet... If everything went the way it is described in the description, this could have been a lot better, imo. |
| There was a million problems with this, as there are in every time-travel related plot, and many things like, why does mind reading give them psychokinesis? etc etc. The plot complexity wasn't too hard to follow, but there were many things left open at the end, intentionally. Familiar plots intertwined with such finesse that more stories should But this show was such an amazingly portrayed and beautiful art piece, that i can't justify myself in deconstructing it. I absolutely loved this movie front to back, everything felt so alive and natural; it flowed together beautifully, and the art definitely doesn't hurt it. This was one of those movies you're just supposed to sit back and accept what happens instead of trying to work it all out. It is crafted as an experience, not as something to be discussed and analyzed. It took me long enough to discover this movie, but it is definitely going down as one of my favourites. |

| the visuals were pretty... but overdramatic and unneeded sometimes everything else not worth mentioning |
