If you came here looking for a movie about romance and the obstacles of finding your true love, you've come to the wrong place. This movie focuses on the burdens and twists of life, on the relationship of imperfect people and on loyalty.
The story gets a complete 10 from me, although I may say this just because I'm still riding on that high I get after seeing something beautiful. The story is about this girl who eats books instead of food, a literature girl, and her favourite author, a boy traumatized by his childhood friend from when she tried to commit suicide.
Characters, they get a ten too. The characters are relatable and realistic, sometimes pitiful and sometimes completely detestable. One thing I loved about this whole thing was the fact that the characters seemed to have feelings, Real life, twisted and dark feelings (I'm talking about you, Miu). I especialy ADORED the fact that the male lead, when his childhood love broke down, didn't say something like 'Well shit, I don't like her anymore anyways' and went running after his new love. He stuck with his childhood friend even when she got all terrible and jealous. He was just there for her, although she wasn't his love interest, thing that doesn't happen too often in animes. He was even ready to go with her into the galaxy, like Giovanni couldn't do to Campabela (that probably isn't the name) (SOB)
I must say I understand why people hate Miu. She's weak. But, eh, aren't we all?
I truly enjoyed watching this. If you want drama and depressing stuff, you came to the right place. Well, I'm still riding the high so everything I've said could've been exaggerated, but the movie must've done SOMETHING right to get a person so excited, right? ;)
