.... THAT'S IT... No struggle, just a normal teenage girl who lived a "normal" teenage life with hardly any hardships.
You know when you watch the news and you hear something tragic but you can't do anything about it and just go, "Oh.. or Ah.." because it doesn't effect you and it's been said and done soo many times?
This is exactly what this anime movie is. There is hardly ANY development for you to care enough about the characters. Everything just happens way too quickly. There are hardly any character flaws, this is if not one of the worst slice of life series ever.
Everything as said earlier is very static. My reactions are just "oh... ahh.." to practically everything, like I was just noticing what was going on. There is NO weight to any of the characters actions and hardly any depth either.
Art was fine, sound was fine, but for goodness sake, add some character flaws, make them feel more vibrant, not static robots.
This movie hardly made me "feel" any emotions. At the end I questioned .... "What...? What was I supposed to feel? Sure , as said in the synopsis
"Hana, a hard-working college student who becomes a mother", BUT EVERYONE'S A HARD WORKING COLLEGE STUDENT. I COULD CARE LESS.
If her past revealed she grew in a terrible/poor household, and is trying harder than anyone in college so she could lift herself out of poverty, I would have felt much better.
"falls in love with a mysterious man who attends one of her classes though he is not an actual student"
I swear to you this happens in less than... a millisecond. Love at first sight is fine but there is no exploration as to why other than physical appearance.
THIS MOVIE PUTS DRAMA INTO THINGS THAT DON'T NEED TO HAVE DRAMA. It leaves so many things unanswered like, WHERE ARE THE PARENTS OF OUR MAIN CHARACTER? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL?
Most of the movement in this movie is.... of course a hard working mother doing motherly things like cooking and such but, there is no weight to any of this. She choose this life, her life was and is easy and it still pretty much is. Dose me up with something that will bawl my eyes out pleasee. "Slice of life". Well, life has much more drama than this.
