Story: The story revolves around the protagonist Kyon, who somehow finds himself in a messed up version of his world wherein there is no SOS Brigade, and it’s as if they’ve never met. He then tries to find a way to return everything back to normal and to find the culprit. Now, although the story seems pretty straightforward, no it isn’t. It starts out like a normal day for the protagonist then one morning, nobody remembers the name of his friends and his friends seems to have forgotten him. The movie is somewhat confusing, since things like time travel and parallel worlds are involve, it does its best to clarify everything in the end, leaving no plotholes(for as I can tell anyway) and giving detailed explanation for all the events. Also, one thing I could say is that it contains a lot of mindfuck moments, wherein you can never tell what will happen next, and even if you do there is always a twist or something. Overall I would give it a 10/10 for being one of the most interesting movies which actually made me think about what will happen, and not just provide cheap entertainment.
Art: The way it was animated was good. The characters were drawn well, the movements were well animated, pretty much like any well-animated anime out there. I would give it an 8/10 since it is pretty much just like any anime out there, nothing special.
Sound: Yes, it is wonderful. I especially liked Kyon’s narration of everything that was happening, as well as the voice acting for all the characters. I was actually only going to give this a 9/10 but then I heard the song at the end credits, so +1 point :)) 10/10.
Character: The characters were just awesome. Since everyone in the SOS brigade turned into normal humans (minor spoiler I guess?), it allowed some pretty interesting changes in the characters. I mean come on, how often do you see Nagato blush? The movie made certain developments in the characters, showing what they might actually be if the events in season 1 never happened, all while keeping the story interesting for the viewers.
Overall I would give it a 10/10, because it showed something vastly different from season 1, yet it still successfully kept the story interesting, and also because i’m diggin’ the long-haired Haruhi :))
Enjoyment: This movie WILL keep you on the edge of your seat, since there is no telling what will happen next. The scenario itself allows for some pretty wild yet very plausible outcomes, then throw Haruhi into the mix, who is pretty much the most random character in the entire anime universe, you’re bound get a really interesting story. I would give it a 10/10, because it WILL keep you hooked, and it will never get old, no matter how many times you watch it.
Overall: With everything I mentioned above, I can easily say that this is one of the best, if not the best animes of all time. As a story-driven movie, it did its best at keeping the viewers hooked, was very successful at doing so. I would say that this movie is very deserving of all the attention it has received and I would gladly give it a 10/10 for keeping me completely entertained, from the very beginning down to the extra clip at the end of the credits.
btw, english isn't my first language so sorry if there are any errors
