this is by far the most inspiring anime movie I've ever watched, words can't describe how much I love this and how much it has affected and changed my life for the better.

I really love stories like this that are simple, yet feel so real and raw. Stories like this are so special.

A cute and sad story about a friendship, it far surpasses its original manga and frankly has some of the best animation I've ever seen in a movie. 7/10

I wasn't expecting my heart to break into pieces when I started watching the film.

Such a beautiful and heartbreaking story, that hits too close to home and I only recently learned that it was inspired by the heartbreaking Kyoto animation incident. I will absolutely recommend this story to anybody who has seen or heard of Kyoto’s animation work.

An interesting representation of the social and time cost of creation and of the obsession for it (despite renunciations and even in an imaginary diversion, the characters would ultimately embrace an artistic path), with time repeatedly slipping out of the medium length film (through too many work montages, as if ellipses were forbidden). Marred by an awkward attempt at emotion/shock and by a somewhat immature look at the impulse behind narrative creation (rewrite your life?) and its requirement.

The sketchy aspect of the characters looked good to me, the contrast with the realistic backgrounds less so. But it kinda displays the same complementarity both characters appear to have and there's a certain "raw" energy that comes out of it.


Score: 6,5/10
Enjoyment: 3/5

The one thing I like about this piece is that it doesn't try to take on a unique, complex, or mind blowing plot. That's right, the best thing about this show is that it is "simple" yet beautiful.

I couldn't believe such story was made by the guy who made CSM and Fire Punch.

This is probably the shortest anime I've watched in terms of length and how shocking it is that it's by far better than most shows with longer duration.

After watching this, I am really tempted to read "Goodbye Eri", but I'd rather wait for the anime to get a better experience.

Also this studio did a fantastic job, so I'm curious what they will do next.

This was an absolute masterclass in terms of Cinema, When I read the manga I didn't enjoy it as much but this adaptation completely blew me away. It hit me like a truck.

Hats off to the people who worked on this, Hopefully we get a Goodnight Eri adaptation too sometime soon.

The message I got was that, It's not the work itself but rather the people that you work with or do something with that make something memorable. Value them and let them know before it's too late!

9/10 👏👏👏

Definitely hit me in the feels in a major way. Instant 5/5 for me. I wish we had films/series like this every year. The shortness reminded me of Shinkai's The Garden of Words(was only 48 minutes long). It's quality, not quantity that counts.

Very good show. Can't really decide if Manga was better.

Feels bad for the girl. Makes my blood boil. You're struggling with life, have your own hopes and dream, maybe life's starting to get better and then suddenly some lunatic ends your life, just like that. Worst of all, her death was likely slow and painful, which makes me rage more.

It's sad and infuriating. At least our MC didn't lose hope and moves on.
