Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare

Yuna Ichihara's spring break is far from pleasant, especially after she sends off her best friend Sacchan, who is moving away. But while heading home, the timid girl brightens up when she encounters a boy who looks exactly like her first love—a prince from a shoujo manga. Subsequently, she finds herself in a peculiar situation with the mature Akari Yamamoto, a new neighbor who immediately befriends her.

Now attending the same high school together, Yuna shows interest in Akari's brother Rio—the same mysterious and handsome boy she met during spring break. Likewise, Akari is falling for Yuna's carefree childhood friend, Kazuomi Inui. However, love is not at anyone's fingertips, as the relationship between these four contrasting friends faces complications, preventing them from moving forward. To discover the truth between them, they will need to confront their own struggles and uncover secrets hidden among themselves.

This movie was average.

It was fast paced. They didn't show much interactions between the male and female leads. The interaction between the female leads, specially how they met, didn't seem forced. In fact, it was okay & I liked how they became friends. But, as for the interaction between the female leads & male leads, I guess many scenes were cut. So it kinda seemed forced.

I think it'd be better if this movie showed more interactions among the leads. Then, a lot of the scenes would have made more sense and would not have looked so forced.

Nevertheless, I kinda enjoyed it. I was ... craving for some romance anime & I got to watch it. So, if you are looking for a light hearted romance anime just like me, you can watch it.

Mixed Feelings

Even as a fan of the original work who knew and understood that a fair amount of things would be reduced since it is a movie adaptation, I think it wasn't well handled. A lot of important points in the story that helped understand the characters, their development and grow were discarded or handled not so well; with details that, in my opinion, one wouldn't be capable of understand if you didn't read the manga first.

There were also a fair amount of little things or scenes that could have been added to the movie and make the adaptation a lot more enjoyable.

The story ... can turn very cheesy in some points, but not much more of what can one espect from a highschool romance drama.

Now, into the good points. The movie is beautifull in terms of art and sound, very pleaseant to see and listen. The cast of voice actors also made a great job with the principal characters.

Overall, after all the wait, the movie was pretty but much less than what I was expecting; leaving me a little disappointed with the final result since I did have great expectations upon it.

(please excuse any grammatical errors, english is not my first language and writing is definitely not my forte)

This movie was quite enjoyable in the beginning, however characters were quite inconsistent with their writing while the story devolved into a complete mess. It did not take long for the movie to turn extremely cheesy with most of the character interactions being frustrating and hard to sit through. As I said earlier, the writing for the characters towards the middle of the movie started to show a constant inconsistency. The two characters that were introduced presented a common dichotomy that isn't new, but was rather charming, with both of the characters actually fitting into what the synopsis of the anime described them as. ... However, towards the middle of the story, both characters started to turn into the same characters and lost the charm that was given to us at the beginning of the movie. The movie isn't all bad however, the art was rather impressive for A-1 Studios and surprised me in certain key scenes, but wasn't anything special nor unique other than the bubble motif that was presented towards the end of the movie. Music was excellent as it was not too distracting from the dialogue but when paid attention to really sets the mood of most of the scenarios in the movie as BGM should. BUMP OF CHICKEN really impressed me with a their performance with once of the scenes in tandem with the fairly impressive animation. All in all, the movie is quite a letdown especially with the encaptivating exposition, but slowly derailed into a romance drama with no passion, creativity, or good character development. If I were to describe this anime as an equation, it would be y = -x + 8.
