STORY(7) - It is tragic and it resembles every typical love story which conveys emotional points and childhood lovers. Specifically, it expresses a sweet and cute romantic story of two young people who came in a school which share the same problems and interests. Soon, they become friends and eventually blooms into love. Until one day both cease to grow into different places and acquire a long distance relationship.Certain characters rose here and there to be a member of the story and to complicate the minds of the watchers. I, for one thing didn't understand some of the scenarios because I mostly fast-forward these scenes, maybe I missed some or maybe I didn't understand. I had to consult wikipedia to fully understand but eventually, I found out that I didn't fully understand. I think this anime movie contains a realistic value that not all people can be together to the very end. People can fall in love but that doesn't mean they are meant to be together.
ART(10) - The art reminded me of Hourou Musuko at first because of the characters but then the background and scenery was a two thumbs up! I loved the modern effect of the graphics which is only two dimensional but made it seem so authentic and beautiful. It was just magnificent. I definitely liked the simplicity and the complexity of the characters and the themes.
SOUND(4) - It doesn't show a really interesting tune despite the fact that no one can and could hooked up on the internet and start downloading it. The last song before the credits didn't give me that solemn and sweet effect. It needed more sadness and subtlety I guess.
CHARACTER(4) - Nobody stands out in this movie. None of the characters look great and have a lovable personality. They were just everyday people living in everyday life. IT. WAS. JUST. TOO. SIMPLE. But hey, they were touching.
ENJOYMENT(5) - Okay, Let's face it, judging on the score I was actually pretty bummed about this anime movie. 5 cm per sec really ruined everything despite the fact that it did leave me lingering on the reality side of life. I'll be honest with you, I didn't w=quite like the whole thing. I am kind of wondering why the top reviews scored 10 and 9 (which were one of the reasons why I decided to witness this movie) when this movie is plain boring. Call me crazy, stupid, egghead, butthead and any other kind of head but I'm just saying the truth. I didn't quite understand some parts of it because mainly, I kind of fast forward the other scenes because nothing seems to be happening it was the most horrible thing I have witnessed. I was pretty excited to watch it and it didn't appeal to me that much. I may forget about this movie someday and I don't think I'll ever recommend this to my friends (except if they asked me all the anime movies I have watched) and plausibly I may delete it from my memory. In every part of the movie, I eventually had this same pose : -.- which isn't a sign of having "fun". It didn't made me cry, it didn't give me a laugh or a small mysterious thought and did I mention that I was SUPER BORED? Perhaps other people would appreciate this movie. People who love drama and cinematography. This is anime not a sad oscar winning reality movie-ish type of thing. There are numerous animes that may be tragic but has fun-filled moments like Clannad, The girl who leapt through time, and etc. Nevertheless, if there is one part that I appreciated, it is the last part.. (SPOILER DO NOT READ) SKIP THIS! TURN TO OVERALL IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCH THIS YET!! Okay... moving on I loved the part where Tohno saw the Akira in the train railway or something and they passed each other and when Tohno tried to turn around to face Akira the train got in the way of their final meeting; however, once the train got away, AKira was gone. Oh POOR TOHNO! I just liked that part. It was pretty and tragic at the same time notable. I loved it, it is Emotional! It was probably the saddest part of the movie.
OVERALL(6) - I didn't hate the whole movie, I just wish that it wasn't this plain. It was too simple for me it was too mediocre and not enjoyable. It was hardcore drama to the extent that only some may appreciate it. On the other hand, feel free to reject me but this is my opinion and my opinion stays.
