| My God... totally pointless this movie. Exactly as said the review out there. It could have been compressed in just 5 minutes or less. The poor Suwa even became a babysitter... lol 2/10 |
 |
| I liked the open end where no one can decide who you end up with (manga original end) no this was no needed. Totally hated it. |
| I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something. People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English. |
| So much fucking regret, why did I watch this shit. Fuck you Naho. I want a Suwa ending T-T |
| A lot of recapping in this...especially the first half. I mean, they could of condensed this. Still, I got the message of this movie and the expression of feelings from the characters. Suwa is indeed too much of a nice guy tbh regardless if he admits it or not. Good soundtrack they used for this movie. |
 |
| I felt so bad for Suwa...he should be with Naho...it just means he was only with Nahi because Kakeru was not there...that is just awful.... Suwa you rock man |
 |
| Really a letdown from the series. It had too many repeated scenes from the original anime and largely felt like a clip show rather than a new story. I guess it expanded a bit on the original, but not enough to really warrant an entire movie. 5/10 |
 |
on 
| Kakeru wants to go somewhere with Naho. Azu is right. Suwa is Kami da! Dat proposal. Dat timeskip. Kakeru is still alive. Dat NTR kid. Got Suwa holding him. The kid doesn't want to leave Suwa. His name is Haru. He loves Suwa. Suwa turned into a pedo. Hagita has a girlfriend. Azu? Kakeru wants to send a letter to his past self. Suwa wakes up. A dream? Naho had the same dream. Dat letter. And that was the end of this movie showing the NTR, Route B, Alternate future, etc. timeline. That was fucked up making Suwa hold the NTR kid then the kid not wanting to leave his side like a parasyte. I don't think I've seen hentai that did that shit. That's how fucked up it was. The mangaka was clearly paid to make this. This could have been shown at the end of the manga if it was part of the story. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
InabaPrism said: So this movie outright confirmed that Naho is a lying skank, and that she would jump at the first chance to be with Kakeru she gets. Okay. As if the anime adaptation wasn't bad enough, this COMPLETELY DESTROYED the meaning of the original story and each character's motivation. It went from being a heartwarming tale about a group of friends trying to save their buddy from killing himself, to the story of a self-centered idiot that only cares about her own happiness and nobody else's. Nice job Takano Ichigo, you just finished destroying your story in the name of money. Oh my I love this comment it reflects my thoughts but better. As I write before (with a messed with rage grammar lol) she destroyed her open and beautiful ending. You know, I really loved how she let the readers think what Naho future would be. |

| Just like the 6th volume from the original manga in Suwa's future in the original timeline, this part of the story isn't so great, except for the tiny epilogue that shows Kakeru alive with Naho and his baby. I'm still a little disappointed of not having more from the epilogue. I'm a little 'curious to see a glimpse of what careers they have in the new timeline, what Kakeru, Naho, and Hagita, Azusa look like as a cute couple. I also still wonder who Suwa ends ups with ... I feel like maybe he could be in a relationship with Takako. I also wonder what a timeline through a letter from Kakeru to save his mother would be like. ... Although that might be milking more story a little too much, which I guess isn't necessary. Decent anime adaptation. 'Lotta reused scenes from the tv anime, while excluding how Naho and Suwa reunite and when he confesses again to create their new relationship from the future. Although, I think it's arguably fine that they excluded Suwa's story of that, since I think even with Naho falling in love with Suwa, it still feels awkward and wrong from the audience, myself included a little. |
| suwa is the best wingman possible |
| Well, the movie is not the hell of a mess, but it jumps so much between the two timelines (sometimes even repeating the same scenes and jumping from one scene to another), that is an insane job to make a properly summary of it, so I did my best. I found the movie interesting, but it could’ve fit as an OVA of 40 min. The movie put us in Suwa’s shoes as how this magnificent guy experimented the whole event of saving Kakeru and truly compromising his happiness for the happiness of someone else, I understood his point of view and had tons of thoughts about him, he’s just a really good guy. Despite that, the story and the movie itself would’ve had a major impact if I had enjoyed more the Orange anime, but the lack in animation quality and sometimes storytelling, limited me from enjoying and genuinely love this story. If you watched Orange, I recommend you to wait before watching this movie, it adds plot to Suwa’s drama and rises him as a character, but you could get overwhelmed by the repetitive story. Animation quality, especially landscapes are beautiful in this movie. And well, the whole final as we saw in the anime, there were 2 timelines, the only difference is if Kakeru is alive or not, no one changed the other, the 2 exist at the same time. Doesn’t really add something to the whole story. |

| This movie just solidifies more that Suwa was the best character in this series, very kind person. Thats a really smart and unselfish decision when he suggest dont tell to the letters of Naho that shes married to Suwa. It will just complicate things and confusion on feelings of Naho to Kakeru to their past self that can cause not saving him . She was sometimes dense but shes the only one who can make Kakeru genuinely happy. Non-Kakeru timeline: Naho: Even if Kakeru alive, id still marry Suwa Me be like: thats the biggest lie ive ever heard Kakeru alive timeline Naho and Kakeru got married and has a son Me: I knew it Poor Suwa, salute to this great man! At least Suwa married to Naho in alternate universe so thats it. Also ma boi Hagita and Azu became a couple, yes finally! Even if the 1st half was just a recap im still gonna give this a 10/10. I like the ending both Kakeru and Suwa got the ending that they deserve. |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| Man, Suwa honestly deserves more for everything he's done to keep both Naho and Kakeru happy even at his own expense. He's such a great guy that even Kakeru's kid liked Uncle Suwa more than his mom lmao That sunset where everyone's alive and happy ten years later might've been a dream for the ones who wrote the letters but they can rest easy now that they know within them that there's a reality where they helped their past selves finally fulfill all those regrets that never seemed to leave them. The feels were powerful in this one for me~ |

Jak said: OriharaShinra said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Suwa really is best guy, I really wanted him to stay with Naho, also I really disliked Kakeru, at least Naho seems happy. But it was good to actually see how thing turned out in the end. I personally think it makes sense that she ends up with Kakeru. The events that caused Naho to fall for Suwa didn't happen the same way so she didn't start gaining feelings for Suwa and her feelings for Kakeru became stronger. I wouldn't have liked if Suwa and Naho ended up together in the main timeline because then it would have been going back on his word that he would always support them. He took one for the team definitely, but to make up for what his shitty future self did. I mean the only reason they got together in the other timeline is cuz kakeru died so... these shippers are just blind |
Jak said: James278 said: Hmm a decent movie. A 7/10 from me. Good to see a happy ending though it is too sad about Suwa. Although I still don't get people saying Suwa is just a replacement for Naho in original timeline. She genuinely loves him but the reason that doesn't come to pass in the new timeline is because the events responsible for having those feelings don't happen. So she still loves Kakeru in this timeline. Now that doesn't mean original timeline Naho doesn't love Suwa and would go for Kakeru if he was suddenly brought back to life. In that case she would still be with Suwa in that timeline because they have gone through a lot more events which made her fall in love with him. That is not going to change. And that doesn't make new timeline Naho bad for not noticing or not returning Suwa's feelings. She loves Kakeru and the events that made her fall in love with Suwa don't happen here so she does not love him. As simple as that. How anyone cannot see or understand this is beyond me. I disagree. 2nd timeline Suwa would have been a replacement because of the effects of the letters. If Kakeru still died, he would have lived on as Kakeru's substitute. 1st timeline Suwa did it for his own selfish purposes because he went after Naho when he knew she was weak and fragile due to Kakeru dying not long before that. 1st timeline Naho pretty clearly still had feelings for Kakeru even if she genuinely loved Suwa at that point. It also seemed to affect their marriage. When 1st timeline Naho was sobbing about Kakeru towards the end. Suwa acted cold and annoyed and didn't even bother to comfort his wife. If it had been 2nd timeline Suwa in that same position, he would have stayed up and comforted her. Obviously Naho would stay with Suwa in the 1st timeline, but she probably would be very conflicted. It just sucks for Suwa because the only timeline where he has a chance is one where Kakeru dies. the reason he has a chance is because kakeru dies, otherwise he wouldnt... you can even see how naho still thinks about kakeru in her dreams lol |
| Watching this right after finishing the main series is not the best experience, feels like a lot of recap content intertwined with some new content in the second half. Reasonable since it was released sometime afterward and it can be easy to pick up for those who never really watched the main series. I've always found it hard to follow which timeline they are in, until specific context is mentioned. Wish they would add some sort of easy indication. Overall I'd give it 6.5/10 |
 |
| I just wanna know who was delivering the letters into postbox. I watched the series a long time ago and just can't seem to remember who it was ;~; |
 |
| "Even if Kakeru were alive, I would marry you" I was never so deluded F for Suwa's son |

| how many times am i gonna be baited into watching a movie/special that is just 80% recap of the original series? im happy we got to see a world where kakeru lives but i still feel really really bad for suwa. honestly dont think he lucked out in either world; i mean even though he married naho, she still thinks about kakeru. wonder what would have happened if suwa had confessed to naho and they were dating before kakeru even showed up. i would have been satisfied just watching the series and not watching this movie. the series already strongly points toward the fact that kakeru is gonna live. didnt really need to see 3 minutes of kakeru-happy-ending surrounded by 55 minutes of recap. im feeling bothered by the fact that i dont know who delivered the letters lol |
  placeholder text |
| I am not sure whose kid this is, black hair doesn't have to mean that Kakeru is father, Hiroto could marry some normal Japanese girl with black hair and have this kid. From anime I can't tell who are the parents. I've always wondered why in anime that is so Japanese and about normal life of people have so many not black haired main characters... One big mistake is that they left the letters on the sea shore. They should have at least get a ship and drop them somewhere on open ocean or closer to Bermuda Triangle. I am happy that Azusa and Saku are finally together. I gave it 8/10, but only because I liked the story of both Orange and Orange Mirai. Some things could be done better and anime was lacking something so I cannot give it 9/10 or 10/10. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| This was a really good movie with a satisfying and happy ending. Loved it. These OP and ED are going to stay with me forever, I will always remember this anime whenever I listen to them. The OSTs in this anime were really great too. It had recaps from the series but it's fine. There was a feeble attempt to explain how the letter's reached the past, it wasn't concrete that the letter's would reach but they assumed the letters will be delivered to their past selves and they did so that's good. Suwa is seriously the best friend anyone can ever ask for, he's the epitome of a good friend. I do feel bad for him for tossing away the future he could have had with Naho but it was his choice, he loved Naho and he knew she would be more happy with Kakeru, Suwa's love was the, "Love me enough to let me go" kind of love, it was real love where he put the happiness of the person he loved over his. He loves both Naho and Kakeru and his ultimate happiness lied in seeing them both happy together. Suwa seriously best boy of all time in all animes ever. After we see that Naho and Suwa had the dreams where they were watching the sunset on the mountain and Kakeru thanked them for the letters, I got this deep melancholic feeling of the approaching end of such a great anime, couldn't help but feel sad. I'm gonna rejoice these memories of this anime in future while listening to its OP and ED. I was so happy that they kind of got a confirmation that their letters did reach their past selves and that they managed to save him in another world. Watching Orange was quite a ride, I enjoyed every minute of it. Gonna rate this movie 9/10. I'll always remember this anime. |

| I will never be able to understand why people hate this movie just because in the end we got Naho x Kakeru. Don't get me wrong, I like Suwa. I also feel that he is the best character in Orange. I'm also kinda sad that we didn't get a "satisfactory" or "happy" ending for Suwa. But if Suwa is happy to see Naho smiling with Kakeru, then that is all that mattered. It is a happy ending for him. AND ALSO, what's the point of all their efforts if in the end Naho still ends up with Suwa??? Because let's think carefully and calmly... one of the strongest reasons Kakeru is still alive is Naho. Right, the others were also the reason why Kakeru continued to live, but Naho was the one who was the highlight. Kakeru needs Naho. And right, Suwa also needs Naho. Then if it's like this, what should be considered? To whom does Naho's heart choose. Both future Naho and future Suwa must have realized when writing the letter, if the past could really change then what they both wrote would lead Naho and Kakeru to be together. Since they followed what the letter said, it was clear that Naho and Kakeru would fall in love and need each other.. and Suwa still did that, meaning he was ready with all the consequences and he was responsible for his own feelings. It's also obvious that both the future Naho and the present Naho love Kakeru. I think what Naho said to Suwa that she would still choose Suwa was bullshit. I think she can say that because at that time Suwa managed to fill Naho's heart as a substitute for the dead Kakeru so she accepted it, she accepted the kindness. Well maybe after they got married, Naho really liked Suwa as the real Suwa. But if Kakeru was still alive by then then I'm (pretty) sure Naho will continue to choose Kakeru. I'm actually happy with this movie because with this movie it emphasizes how cool and great Suwa is! He tries to fix his "mistakes" and turn them into happy memories. Very few are willing to sacrifice to that extent. If there's one thing I can be sad about is, this movie doesn't give anyone a chance to fill Suwa's heart, or it's like it doesn't give Suwa a chance to love someone else. But Suwa seemed sincere, satisfied and happy with his choice, so it was for the best. Once again, I like Suwa and I know that a lot of people like him too, just don't get blinded just because he's our favorite character or because he's the 'best guy'. I'm honestly happy to see Naho and Kakeru got married and live happily. Everyone deserves to be happy, and Suwa is HAPPY with his decision. And yes yes yes, my wish (and ours?) came true! Azu x Hagita!! Aahhhh so cute :'3 they are so adorable together, my my~~ not gonna lie their relationship will be very funny and fun ♡ Okay that's all, please forgive me if this is too long (it's definitely too long) or if I say something hurtful |

| I can't get myself to like Kakeru doesn't matter how many year passed...for me Suwa is the best guy and he deserved to be with Naho. |
 |
| A 23 minutes OVA would've been much better choice than this 62 minutes wastage :/ it had some important revelation about the future/past Suwa and others but the recaps that made it almost half the movie ruined it Anyway, I don't think future Suwa was really selfish, I think he genuinely loved Naho and he tried to make her happy but upon realizing she wasn't, he felt guilty and emphasized that in his letters to deter past Suwa from pursuing her no matter the outcome While I dislike Kakeru, and Suwa was much better person overall, Naho happiness was with Kakeru but yeah, knowing Suwa feelings towards Naho from the start made the whole anime unbearable to watch at times and it is the main downside Would've loved to see more about Hagita/Ozo and the much neglected Takako |
| Despite 2/3 of the movie is recycled, I rather like it. I was annoyed by the series but I love the movie that I can recommend the movie for anyone who have no desire to see the series. The recycled parts gives a good enough highlights of what happened in the series without the annoying and boring bits. It's understandable if some who loved the series dislike this one. Only a third is new stuff. |
| You deserve the stars Suwa.You are the perfect human being who would even give Kami sama a run for their money in term of selflessness. As for the story the first half was basically a retelling and the second a view of the probability when fate flows according to their plan.So even if there are multiple failures the one destiny will always await them.Sad the picture perfect Suwa and his family won't be in them. So long ~~ |
Reply to Jak
I for one think this movie made the series make a lot more sense. As much as it sucks for Suwa, he never had a chance with Naho unless Kakeru died. While his asshole future self took advantage of that, his past self realized that Kakeru was too important to him. His future self said if they had reconciled, then Naho would have rejected him. They technically did, but then Kakeru committed suicide. The series made it seem like that she was gravitating towards Suwa before Kakeru's death, but that wasn't the case at all.
I've noticed a lot of people butthurt that their ship (Suwa x Naho) failed, but it was always going to fail. The only conceivable timeline where they get together is a timeline where Kakeru died. I think there were even subtle hints that they didn't have the perfect marriage as it made it seem. Due to their guilt and regret, plus that fact that I believe future Naho still had feelings for Kakeru. Like when future Suwa wakes up and finds her crying because she was dreaming about Kakeru. Future Suwa didn't look too happy. If it had been Past Suwa from the main timeline, he would have stayed up and consoled her. Futura Suwa though just goes back to sleep.

| @Jak we don't know if SuwaXNaho was going to fail or win in a vaccum without involvement of the letters not considering whether Kakeru lived or died.The letters are what changed the prior experience and were the pillars for her to fall for him.The regrets which their future selves bear were borne out of resentment from not being able to save Kakeru and wishfull thinking of preventing the same.The show was very clear on that regard .Anything else is left to viewer's discretion for their convenience.One can make a case that her past self became giddy with Suwa once the mishap happened which considering how volatile the situation was it was bound to happen sooner or later.The future could have gone either way |
