Story: 8/10
Focuses a lot on the main message of "self-hatred" instead of focusing on the romance aspect when this movie is expected to be kind of a romance story. However, there are a lot of things being missed out from the movie itself and finding out it being incomplete, after having read the manga and watching the Bluray version.
Art and Sound: 10/10
Absolutely stunning. Love everything about it from details of the characters to the backgrounds, etc. Seiyuus were on point with their voice acting. Emphasis on the sounds on some scenes were really good too.
Character: 7/10
Expressions from the main characters were great. However, because they missed out quite a lot from the manga, they did not show a lot of character development, especially for the side characters which was disappointing.
Enjoyment: 8.5/10
Went on an emotional roller coaster trip while watching this. Lots of happy, frustrating and tear jerking moments. You name it, it's there.
I was also left clueless at some parts of the movie as they did not explain some of the sign language done by Nishimiya and I had to get my friend that I was watching with to translate it as she understood some of them from previous identical kind of shows.
Not only was it the sign language that left me confused. I was not able to understand some scenes when I first started watching such as, "why do the background characters have 'X' marks on their faces?", "what happened to the mom of Ishida when it showed her being all beaten up with blood on her clothes?" and "why did they want to visit Sahara?" until I had my other friend who has already watched the movie 4 times and read the manga, exaplain to me and after I went back to re-watch some scenes of the anime
Overall: 9/10
Definitely be willing to re-watch this and will recommend this to my friends, whether they're anime fans or not.
