Lets be real, the high rating is just because there's a girls crying scene and a sad music background. Almost all anime movie is like that, when both of these come together, boom high rating. This just proved how easy human can be deceived by mere implications.
As for a person like me who prioritize a good story above everything else, the story has a lot of flaws. Not gonna spoil anything much but its a basic knowledge that everyone should know, if manipulating timeline is possible, even a single take of breath difference could cause an entire new different timeline from what it suppose to be. But in this movie, it seems science doesnt work well, maybe just to favor the story and to make it easier for viewers to understand the story. Steins Gate is the only anime so far that make a good explanation about how time work.
Then, I hate how the first thing the MC thought after her first accident was she already know she travelled back time. Let's be real, if this happen in reality, to us, then the first thing we should probably think of suppose to be like "did I just see a bad thing of what happen if I being careless" or something. In other word, its doesn't make sense especially for a school girl to suddenly thought of an idea of time-travelled by seeing that.
Lastly, the ending. I know its a trend leaving a cliffhanger ending where it was intended so that we could figure it out the possible future ourselves. But this movie arent suppose to do so because unlike any other movie, this movie lack details and explanation enough for us to accept the ending. At least, the movie should include a short 5 secs post credit scenes explaining what era did the man meant or just who is MC's aunt. With scientifically flawed the story logic + insufficient details, it just made the story ending so worthless for us to solve or keep it as sweet memory. Bet after 2-3 days finished watching, this movie will be just a movie title in my head, not as a sweet memory that worth recalling.
That's it. Im not saying the story is bad but above 8 rating just proved how less people care about a good, defined story.
