SPOILER FREE REVIEW !!

holy fucking shit. i did Not expect this movie to be this good.

i expected nothing from this movie, nothing bad, nothing good. but did it just blew my non existed expectations, and here's how

story 7/10: not gonna lie i didn't understand all the sci-fi shit at all before near the end of the movie and i still dont to be honest but ill just blame that on my empty brain. the story especially the sci-fi elements are interesting, very very much so. nothing ground breaking, its still the classic guy time travels to change something from the past story but they ... do it well. the pacing and timing of this movie is rly nice. nothing felt rushed, but it didnt feel boring or unimportant too.

Art 9/10: realising that this was in all cg, i was preparing myself to not judge the visuals too much expecting that it wont work/do well but god was i wrong. never have i Ever seen an anime that looks good in full cg but they did this so well. id go as far to say im glad they made it in cg. the illustrations are beautiful, the cuts, shots, design are all great. its not perfect of course, theres some stuff that they could've worked better on but overall its great

sound 8/10: nothing spectacular but each noise, sound track, and sound effect in this film fits their scenes so well. voice actors did a great job too, nothing super hard but they delivered their lines well, especially the emotional ones.

characters 7/10: theres nothing to really praise neither critique here. i guess the critique is just that theres nothing really.. special about them. can that be called a critique lol? nothing super well written or any great character growth, but they presented these simple characters well. especially the mc !! i loved how they introduced him. he seems very relatable and just rly nicely presented

enjoyment 10/10: cant believe im giving a 10/10 honestly but well its true. i enjoyed every second of this movie. probably the first movie where i didnt skip any part, didnt fast forward once and even watched until the very last second of the end credit.

the movie isn't anything life changing, its not something special or never done before, its just well made. highly recommend this if you're bored or just, want something interesting to watch.

i came across this while just browsing for anime films to watch and i thought it was interesting so i gave it a try. didnt have high expectations for it, neither low ones but i was excited to watch it.

my review will mostly be critiquing a certain part of the story that rly disappointed me so im gonna start of with some nice stuff !!
the animation. so fucking pretty. the waves looked like waves, water looked like water, everything looked so pleasing to look at. its not one of those films where you can make every frame a wallpaper but its still so so pretty. ... the music and voice acting too!! the song thats used a lot is lovely, warm, perfect for the story. bgm for each scenes matched well, and so does the voices for each character. i
now onto the story !

story started out really nice !! we got introduced to the main characters rly well, and we got a rly cute compilation kinda on the main couples relationship. what they do, how they are, etc with them singing the theme song in the background, which i absolutely love. it rly felt like they were singing and i could feel how happy they were.

though all of that was a bit.. Too nice. which made me feel a bit uneasy on whats gonna happen next. and it happened. spoiler ? i guess but the story revolves around this so i cant rly not say it lol. minato dies. from this point on you can guess that the story is gonna be about overcoming grief. heres where it started to become disappointing for me. the way the characters act after minato's death didn't really feel like he Died. it just felt like he broke up with her. his sister didnt even looked like she cared lmfao?? i was hoping to get a moment where its shown that shes been holding it in or something but spoiler.. we didnt get one. she just moved on her day like it was nothing.
hinako's grief was played pretty well id say, spoiler ! //she started to hallucinate that minato appears in water whenever she sings their theme song. i interpreted of it as she just couldn't believe that he's gone so she imagines that she can see him to cope with it, which i thought was rly smart and interesting but it wasn't like that. minato actually does appear whenever she sings and could even control water n shit lol. so she didnt rly.. have him Gone. thoughh ofc she ends up overcoming her grief, she moves on with her life yada yada the end.

tldr on all of that: story was abt overcoming grief but it didnt rly felt like they grieved for him. didnt felt like he was Gone. like dead gone. he's never coming back. and none of the characters felt different after they "overcame the grief" it didnt rly feel like anything. minato was removed from the story but thats it.

id recommend you to check it out if you have time or is interested in it though !! i think i was just a bit too disappointed so i didnt end up enjoying it as much hahah. i did get teary eyed a couple of times and fucking cried at the end on the christmas message part. it came out of nowhere so idk how it made me cry but it broke me

this show is honestly really nice. it might be boring for some people but if you're looking for something thats just chill and laid back id recommend this one !

story is fairly simple, just a group of guys thats been friends since kindergarten hanging out and a few other characters eventually join in. the animation, soundtracks, everything is simple but thats not nesscesarily a bad thing !! sometimes its nice to just watch something laid back :]

but i dropped this show. why?

theres this tsundere girl character thats prob gonna join their friendgroup but why? theres actually no reason for them to get her in ... the group. she literally bullied one of them because he wanted to help her. she threw rocks at him, almost got him framed for bringing porn magazines, made him trip, this that its basically bullying. but its okay because she's a wittle cute tsundere that just cant express her feelings !! /s and one of them ended up crushing on her !??@! dropped then and there. i also have no attachment at all to any of the characters neither do i rly enjoy the show so i dont see why i should continue watching it

probably rly stupid to drop a show just bc of that but i cant rly stand those characters

was pretty excited abt this anime just by seeing the trailer but my excitement isnt the same as when im watching this so im honestly kinda dissapointed.

story 6/10: "old childhood friend who moved away, now they're not as close stuff but ! why exactly did he move back?" basic, but its still interesting in a way. the story is pretty okay itself, nothing too complicated, but the pacing is pretty slow. the relationship of the characters is the main problem for me though. its a bit confusing and all over the place. theres of course still 6 episodes so i hope it gets better

art 7/10: ... not something id expect for a sports anime but it works! its clean and nice to watch.

sound 7/10: i lovee the op and the ed is also nice. the sound effects match their movements, and the ost's matches the scenes too. nothing too special but nothing off either.

character 4/10: as i mentioned before, the relationship of the characters are confusing and unclear. idk if they're friends or not, if they like this guy or not, or who even some of the characters are. we never got a clear relationship establishment on the main team. we got one(1) episode on the rival team and i understand them better than the main team that we got 5 episodes on! its just so confusing

enjoyment 5/10: the show is pretty enjoyable, its light hearted and stuff but again the characters are so confusing that i usually spend half of an episode just trying to figure out the characters so i end up not really enjoying the show as much

dropped the show bc i just couldn't Bare to watch another ep.

the anime was honestly pretty enjoyable, the story was kinda interesting, i laughed a few times, i liked some of the characters, the animation was pretty nice and it fit the show well but my main problem is with the male mc, usui.

he's funny, he's cute, he's adorable yeah what not. but he also basically sexually harasses the main girl lol. he saves her from these horrible stuff but does the same thing. he gave her a hicky because he didnt want her to wear a bathing suit on a BEACH. he suddenly kisses ... her here and there for no reason without consent but its okay because he's hot and is the main character !! honestly its so uncomfortable to have a male lead act like that. since i dropped this on ep 16/25 im guessing theres gonna be some sob story for him through those 9 eps i didnt watch but i honestly dont care enough to watch more

other than that the show was pretty Okay. only characters i liked was the 3 idiots, but they're useless in this show so that says a lot lmfao. oh actually misaki's sister also had a few funny bits, but again also useless to the story. has my rant on usui up there, misaki is supposed to be a tsundere..? she's strong but that's all there is to her, she's pretty eh besides that. her "strong" side is of course not used at all against usui. she gets mad at him for rejecting a girl but does no shit when he harasses her .... hate it so much when women are being shown like that. that they're vulnerable and weak towards the mc just because, even when he's doing something wrong to them. the op and ed are pretty fine, voice actors matched their characters well and i rly liked misaki's voice

stupidly charming.

thats what this show is to me. it's a dumb hilarious romcom but its so very charming. i highly recommend this if you're looking for something silly and light hearted. there's only 13 eps but i find myself finishing the show in one month. not because it was boring, but because i didn't want it to end.

story 8/10: unexpectedly, the story was actually pretty good. it had an actual plot and there were little morals/lessons that was slipped in and actually made sense. not just there to be cheesy or to make the show look good, but it was just little lessons. ... i haven't ever even thought about some of them and its so surprising to me that some of them actually stuck with me a lot.

characters 8/10: honestly dont know what to expect for comedy characters but they were pretty nice. there weren't any stereotypes that i could've point for any of them which was quite surprising to me as comedy usually has those(not that its a bad thing). they were all very charming, i ended up loving all of them though of course none of them had any super emotional or well developed characters besides the mc. i liked his(mc) character development, it wasn't amazing or anything but it was nice and simple. but its still good. theres a season 2 and there were some background on a few characters so im guessing it'll be answered there

sound 8/10: no incredible written pieces, just well fitted sounds on each scene. the op is catchy and innocent, complemented with simple pretty animation, the ed feels like something you'd hear at the end of a school festival if that makes sense and i think its perfect for the show.

art 8/10: fucking perfect. good animation with a simple art style that captures the comedy moments well. nothing incredibly animated but its perfect for this show. there's always these sudden eye shots that are completely random but it fits well with the show. its always shown after something stupid that the characters do and its as if rec(the mc) is taken back and is a little break so the joke/skit doesn't run too far. again theres nothing incredible about the art but i dont think it needs anything incredible.

enjoyment 10/10: there isn't a single episode or moment where i felt "huh..? what the hell was that" i always smile and get joy just by the thought of wanting to watch an episode.

this was a really nice romcom to watch, all the characters were very much likeable, the drama and romance aspect was great, and the artwork captured all of that. though a bit disappointed on the ending, it didnt feel like an ending at All. lots of unanswered questions leading to an uncompleted story. im sure those questions are answered in the manga so ill prob read it after writing this lol

story 6/10: honestly p good !! i like each of their individual backstories and the one thats being shown is also entertaining. but again, theres a bunch of unclear things that goes unexplained.

characters 7/10: each ... one of them are so likeable. theres no backstabbing, jealous, asshole friend none of that. they go from a few stereotypes but its not implemented too much

art 6/10: nothing really special about it but still entertaining to watch !! perfect for this anime

sound 7/10: all of the voice actors did great and matched their characters greatly. there were nothing really special about the ost's, but they fit well with whats going on in the scenes. both the op and ed's also fits the show perfectly !! they're really nice happy to go songs :]

enjoyment 8/10: there weren't really big emotional moments where i cried or felt super caught up in the moment but the comedy works, the little awkward romance were there, it was very enjoyable.

update: i finished the manga and its definitely much better lol. this anime only adapted the first 4 out of the 13 volumes the manga has so thats why it ended on a hanger like that. though this anime was probably made to promote the manga so maybe thats why they didnt finish it completely. if you liked the anime but was disappointed on how it ended i highly recommend reading the manga !!

such a stupid weird silly anime. yet i couldn't stop watching episode after episode and ended up binging the entire show in one day

story: 6/10 hot guys tries to make a weird creepy girl to a fine lady for free rent. a stupid concept it's interesting. a lot of inspiring and pretty emotional stuff in the anime but because they're never serious, really ruins it. i get that this is mainly a comedy light hearted anime but if you're gonna implement stuff like those get the characters to be a little more serious or it just comes off as forced and cringy.

characters: 5/10 again, ... honestly pretty decent on the base(?) i see can see their stories and they make sense but how they present it is so stupid. take main girl as an example, she became a shut in with low self confidence because she got called ugly and rejected when she confessed to her crush, plus she has odd interests. but she also has a loving family, her economical situation is also great, she couldve gone to therapy or some shit lmao. they shouldve shown why she likes the guy so much that his words made that big of an impact.

sound 6/10 p good. the voice actors matches their characters well and they did a good job. the sound effects were nice, a lot of them were just so generic but it's a comedy anime there isn't a need for something spectacular lol. the op was pretty Eh but it grew on me.

art 6/10: im sure a lot of the complains are from the lips but honestly it didn't bother me lol. overall the art is decent. the little chibi and simplistic comedy animations deliver well and made the scenes funnier so that's nice. nothing super good but nothing bad either i think

enjoyment 6/10: ngl i don't remember the first half of the series bc there was just nothing memorable or good enough to remember. humor is really predictable so most of the times the jokes fall flat but i genuinely couldn't stop myself from watching an episode after another so i guess i somehow enjoyed it ?

fucking. horrible.

literally an abusive relationship and they dont even try to make the guy decent lmfaoo he treats her like shit. absolute fucking shit. and she puts up with it because he's hot!!! sends an awful message to the targeted young female audience. "its okay for a guy to treat you like shit because he's hot and is willing to be with you :)"

animation also sucks. characters barely move and each one looks like they're from a different anime. op kinda slaps ngl but the animation for it just so stale that you cant even enjoy the song anymore

only reason im not giving this ... a 1 or a 2 is because i kinda do understand the "i have to lie and put up with this because i just want to have friends" thing but her friends literally shit talks her and she heard that but instead of thinking "oh what the fuck they're bad people i should stop being friends with them" she takes it as she needs to work better to be their friend. animation is also still watchable, still bad tho.

tell me why this has a 7 rating holy fucking shittt. would not recommend this anime to Anyone. its not even a good bad/cringe show just fucking awful.

i honestly dont get the hype for horimiya rn.

(tldr in the bottom if you dont wanna read the whole thing lol)

i saw the trailer on january and got pretty excited since the animation looks rly nice plus its from cloverworks and a lot of manga readers were vouching and hyping it up so i was really looking forward to the anime !

story+characters 5/10: first few eps were nice, set up a good point for the story, characters were likeable, art super pretty, couldnt wait what other episodes might bring. but on episode 4 it started to get Eh. and on episode 5 the early drama ... rly annoyed me lol. wtf was that?? it was so pointless she got jealous of something so small but its fine in the end bc they made up and its all cute. thats what horimiya is atm. little drama's that starts from something so pointless. yes romance anime's tend to have those but i feel like its building up to nothing? the drama is resolved then and there and the result is them having a cute moment.

art+sound: very very pretty. the animation on the op and ed are very simple yet beautiful. the voice actors are great and the animation overall is just rly nice.

tldr: atm the story is kinda frustrating since i feel like its just pointless cliche drama's that builds up to nothing and everything is too Bland. id drop this anime rn if manga readers weren't vouching for it. maybe im feeling like this because of the hype thats been given to the anime but i rly do hope that im wrong and those drama's will eventually build up to something.
