Story - 4/10
...
Very straightforward and gives a backstory to Quantum World 1 Naomi (Sensei).
Art- 6/10
I know that this comes before, during and after the movie is in theaters and some shots may look very repetitive and I get that. I do appreciate that they made this just to fill in the gaps with a very limited budget considering how all out they do in the movie
Sound- 5/10
It hits when certain scenes need that emotional push for the atmosphere to kick in.
Character- 9/10
This is where I go full ham on this review.
Naomi in this world reminds me of Okabe Rintaro from the Steins;Gate series but to be precise, in Steins;Gate 0 (Im not gonna go into spoilers here for those who haven't watched) but if you know the reason why Okabe is a Sad Scientist then that is basically it (more on that in a moment). The VA portrayed this sad boy beautifully and I can feel his every emotion leading to the film. This evens the moral scale which he has portrayed in the movie and we all see the reason why. You can see his struggle as he survives school and as a lab member. People calling him out directly and indirectly as to why he cant give up and just be happy. Episode 2 was one of the strongest things that solidify this comparison to Okabe .The difference though is that Okabe has his friends to back him up to become his Chuuni lovable self while Naomi has the Quantum storage and his fellow lab members to give him hope as to successfully gather that specific data, pushing the limits of the system and his body and allows him to do his role in the film. Him reading that many books and studying for 2-3 years after her "death" can show the dedication and sacrifice that he will go through even if it means his own life.
Ruri on the other hand, showed something else that can erase her robot-ish portrayal. She expresses to be sad, tenacious, happy and love. Doing the extra detail of "climbing a mountain" part in some of the episodes shows that she has depth. Every time her young version is onscreen it feels less and less of a Damsel in Distress.
Enjoyment- 7/10
Some people may find this very boring even before/after watching the film which is understandable. I personally enjoy empathizing the pain and struggles of Naomi.
Overall - 6/10
These short are meant to give depth to the existing characters that we know. If you want to continue watching, then prepare your moral shoes on and strap in. You will stay for the characters than the plot itself. Tying some loose ends in Naomi's character
