Makes you wonder if she would have lived way longer if not for truck-kun being stabbed. That was a purely creative choice on the author's part to move the plot forward and probably my only grip with this. Otherwise, the ending was perfectly executed, including the change in Haruki and his budding friendship with Kyouko, so much needed and right! Would have been disappointed if they didn't show those moments, cause the build up was all there.

Loved the relationship Sakura and Haruki had, it truly didn't have to be defined as anything in terms of romance, they were just two people who cared about each other. Sad! But this was expected from the start. Still sad, although it touches something else in your soul, like the definition of living, connecting with people. And really, I liked these characters a lot, they hit off each other so well despite their differences, or maybe because of them. It's strange, but the movie managed to leave me with more of a positive feeling, than in tears, although I teared up a bit, too. This is a perfect example of bittersweet.

ok, I've been meaning to watch this for a while now and I know that im late to the party.

Firstly, I'm so happy that I watched this. I gave it an 8/10. However, I was struggling between giving it a 7 or an 8. I decided on 8 because of the way it made me feel overall. I had mixed emotions on this which to be honest, I think the author meant me to feel. The thing that got me most upset was obviously that her time was cut shorter than it already was. I mean Jesus, lets be real here.. who the hell goes around stabbing high school girls for no reason?? in JAPAN of all places... no. This just doesn't sit right with me honestly. These kind of things just don't happen in most places let alone Japan.. but hey, it happened and I get why the author cut her life shorter than what was expected.

I also have a pain in my heart that these two never truly admitted their feelings for each other sooner. Maybe neither of them truly realised it. The message is, life is god damn short and you should just take your shot in life with the person you love. I think this movie tells that story in their own way. Even though they never confessed to each other, you can tell that they lived their lives albeit as short as it was, to the absolute fullest.

I really wished that they had more time together and I wish that they admitted to each other how the other person truly made them feel.

This movie overall gave me a lot of emotions that honestly, I didn't expect. I went into this knowing Sakura would die however, I didn't expect the feelings im feeling now to be this way. I knew I'd be fucked up from this film but I didn't imagine this specific road it would take me. To be able to surprise me even though I knew how it would make me feel, to make me surprised when I had roughly the exact idea of where the story would end before I'd even started is pretty amazing story telling.

The main criticism I have is honestly the way she died.. I get that cutting her life even shorter than it already was would be a huge story impact but... a serial killer that goes around stabbing people? in JAPAN of all places?? just doesn't happen. Serial killers don't act like this.. they certainly don't just stab people in broad daylight like this.. and besides.. what are the chances of her just happening upon a serial killer anyway..

Regardless, I can't say it was my favorite love story, but it certainly is up there with one of the best I've seen. I'm glad I got sent on this journey.

@Onqguhn Not really in my opinion, it feels like he couldve done a lot more for her. Like... Say "i love you" at least once?

Their relationship was not like classic love story. They were completing each other. He could say I love you but they didn't need to hear it. They were have special feelings each other from soul and they didn't need to hear them physically.

The movie begins with the funeral of Yamauchi Sakura. Thus begins the past up to that point.

She’s quite loud in the library, and that’s pretty rude. Not liking the opening theme.

He finds her diary in the hospital. She says to him that she’ll die soon, and he reacts like she just said something boring. I don’t like her loud self, but he’s the boring person I can relate with.

It’s fine being carefree in the face of death, but using it as a tool to get things done the way you want is a bit overkill.

She wants to speak about her death to someone. Someone who wouldn’t treat her like a fragile glass and behave normally.

Her parents got word of things and they warned him to stay away from her. Despite that, she invited him over to her house to lend a book, but they were playing video games.

Over time, Hikaru seemed to have fallen in love with her.

When they planned to meet at the cafe, she didn’t show up. The same day, he saw the news of her death on the TV, a victim of stabbing. It seemed to hit him hard.

10 days later, he visits her house and gives his condolences to her mother. Her mother gives Sakura’s diary to him. He reads it and cries out.

He made Kouki read her diary, and asked her to become friends with him whenever she forgives him.

Heard it made people cry, but not a single tear from me. It was just fine.

Re-watching

This was better than I remembered, so I increased my score. It's heartwarming and sad at the same time. The animation is pretty and it got nice soundtracks. Just... I don't know, but a lot of things feel "off" in this anime, but I don't know exactly what. I tried to get into it more, though maybe the drama is just not my cup of tea so I didn't cry at all.
