THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Overall, this short 54-minute movie is a small taste of the omnibus manga, it's quite fine though. I'd even think to bring it far to say that it's "Homosexuality" the movie. Nothing impressive, but for what it is, I'm OK with it. |

It was a cute little romance anthology, with open and normalized sexual and homosexual discussions and actions, which was pretty refreshing to watch. Nothing particularly special. |

Only the first story was good...I kinda wish the movie only focused on those two. The other stories were really silly imo. |

Don't remember how I added this to the PTW section but overall, meh. Didn't like it much from a writing, character nor production standpoint (the numerous short stories only made it feel rushed and forgettable without any really delivering and the characters were way too robotic). Can't say I'm disappointed since I didn't even remember this being a thing at all but still doesn't feel great to see a bad film. |

I liked the lesbian storyline a lot The gay one was okay... but sad The straight one was okay from the girl's perspective, but the boy one was strange. I expected more, I was kind of disappointed it was an Anthology rather than a full story... 6 / 10 |

Kinda disappointed that they chose the easiest stories to censor. But whatever, the manga isn't even better. 5/10 |

Hm, so this was about random events or short stories: It was pleasant watching the 1st, but I am suspicious for saying that because I am into yuri. Although I still think it was the best of the 3. Pointless 2nd story. I don´t even know why it is there. The 3rd was kinda of uncomfortable in a few moments, yet it was curiously funny and 'what the fuck' how they were talking about sex like that when having dinner, and there was a time the mom even questioned the father if he had watched that porn star girl movie LoL I didn´t even feel incest in this story as some people are saying. It was just a few teasing moments but nothing to make a fuss of. Also, they were cousins not blood related siblings or something. --- Not much more to say about OVA/movie. Also, I am not sure, but maybe if each story had 1 full or 2 full episodes (specially the 1st and the 2nd), maybe it would have been better. Anyway.... I guess I ll stick with a 6/10 |

Are you fucking serious? I was actually looking forward to this. I guess it was stupid to expect an adaptation that did this wonderfully weird, dark manga justice. I don't think we will ever have a superlative anime to match any of Takako Shimura's superlative output. I guess Aoi Hana came closest. |

Bem no geral esse pequeno filme aborda fatos cm a Homossexualidade tanto do ponto de vista da mulher e do homem. Terceira história foi meio boba e não intende oq realmente queria passar cm essa última história, tirando isso foi legal. |

A bit of harsh labelling this below the average, since my HanaKana was behind those yuri girl at the first part. Dang her low vioce, now i am imagining that. Fuck me xd. Still disappointing much with some cutting scene. It would be better if they provided a little clear visualization, and make Hana did a proper job. Lol. Thanks god, the shounen ai one was just another 15 mins part, like the first one. I thought it might get a heavy conflict. But, well, thats nice, its just ended with that shit at all. Not that i am complaining. I am just be glad, and told my honest mind: "move to another school, sensei!" The same with the last part, that surprisingly took almost half of duration. Poor kids. But the boy was just too naive with his wild dream and tsunderish. He didn't get everything, and late as the result. However, the end scene kinda relieved their relations. Eventhough, like all the short, its too short, and almost gave an impactful meaning. I am trying to openly give a well suited scores here: Story: 6 Art and animation: 7 Sounds: 7 (+1 for having HanaKana) Characters: 5 Enjoyment: 8 (+2 for having HanaKana) Overall scores must be around 5 to 6. As the averaging score, it goes to 6.6/10 (-0.6 for not getting a clearer visualization. I know, its a stupid excuse for something like these movie. But, oh well, at least thats my reason!). Thats it for me. Such a shame, its getting no deeper storylines. More like wasting its potential to be better. However, as an overall, it was pretty a decent one to wasted the times. At least for my liking. At the end, 6 shall be too bias from me.... |

can we just talk about the third story and how these kids are supposed to be 11-12 yet there's a grown ass woman being fuckin weird around them, making the situation so out of touch one of them undresses in front of the other sexually??? or am i the only one that finds this hard to watch, im so confused |

the first couple was good and I wish the second couple was focused on more, but why the hell was most of this film focused on the kids?! While I do feel like those themes such as beginning to experience puberty and sexuality are important, its really weird how most of the movie focused around two horny middle schoolers rather than the full grown adult women or the teacher. I would of enjoyed it more if it wasnt for that. |

The first couple was interesting, simply showing a normal lesbian relationship without some big drama. The second story was a closeted gay teacher that went nowhere. The third was middle schoolers starting to 'explore' each other while the boy's much older cousin was coming on to him. Ewww. |

I love this. Not the movie, it's just average. I love the reaction to it. All the people that are disappointed that it didn't give them the "representation they deserved", for example, are hilarious. Why the hell would you expect the same level of pandering that western entertainment shits out in a Japanese animated movie? |

I don't know but I kinda wish this movie is only about the 2 grade schoolers. It was adorable to watch. The yuri was ok I wish it was longer. sadly, I skipped the BL part not a fan of it. But anyways, I can't decide between 5 and 6. while I really enjoy the 3rd part I just can't turn blind eye in the other 2. Can't believe this was on my PTW list since November 2019 and I just watched it today. |

Nothing special. Awkward still frames here and there. But it was kinda laid back and refreshing which is good. I liked the first story most. Second one was okay. Third one was kinda silly and weird. I'll give it 6/10. Specially for the first story. |

The first story was pretty good and I liked it a lot. The second was really not up to my taste and I was mostly confused. The third story felt unfinished as if there is a lot to be said. Overall, the movie was okay. |

it was cute. Personally I have a soft spot for childhood friends so the last story was my favorite and I think the most "finished" out of all the stories. all the stories were alright though. |
Never watched as much anime as I wanted to |

It wasn't that bad. Three short stories exploring love and affection not bound by gender (and age?...). I liked the second the most since I have a soft spot for male x male romance. If it would be a yaoi then the teacher finds true love with one student and get together once the kid graduates etc. The teacher is the uke. Still. I didn't like that the teacher didn't say anything to the graduating student who confessed to him. As a responsible teacher he should have had a talk with the boy, ensure that it's ok to be homosexual, but he cannot return his feelings or whatever, not still thinking about the boy years after. The last one made me think the most, and question what the hell is going on. It'd been nice to see the female cousin's perspective such as what made her do porn and how she managed to find happiness and partly get rid of the stigma as a porn actress. |

Oh boy, there were so many wrong things in that third part. I mean, one thing is to acknowledge the fact of children being sexually curious with one another (which happens) but another one is to portray it in such questionable manner. The incest vibes, the adult cousin molesting her underage relative, the parents not giving a shit about the cousin being so sexually open with their underage son, the father being so interested in the porn video of his supposed niece, etc. Truly distasteful, I must say. |

The first story was pretty cute. The brunette was a total babe, liked her without her makeup and hair up. Getting a date at a wedding where you were both heartbroken honestly jives well and feels like the most completed one. It was def the best but like marginally. The second one was absolutely boring and wasteful, I mean I didn't expect the dude to go out his with student per say tho I was think they'd bump into each other or at least a more optimistic ending but whatever. The third, was just, damn. I'm no moral police, I'm pretty chill about most stuff, if it would've been about the kids being sexually curious and accidentally finding the tape, it would've been whatever but the college age cousin sexually harassing the 5th grader and having that tape accessible to them is just ridiculous. It didn't equate to any good outcome either or an engaging story, just eyerolling. Lastly the fourth story which, funnily enough connects back with the worst one, as if we needed an extension. The girl telling anyone was shitty, the creep classmate who kept asking if Shin still had a copy was gross, and worstly it ruins childhood friends aka me a person who loves that trope like a fool. The relationship between the kids is boring and uneventful I think it's interesting to delve into how teens react to the grown up world especially when encoutering their sexuality but this, bored me to tears. ALSO I CANT BELIEVE SHE HAD A COPY OF THE FUCKING PORN TAPE???? 2/10. |

one of the best animes i've ever seen. seinen as is. if you like adult stuff and romance, it's a must-watch. there was a moment when i thought: 'wow, it feels kinda flcl-ish, but somehow in an adult way...' |

it kinda got gradually creepier but ended up pretty wholesome hahah the story about the two lesbians with the same ex was cute really cute. the story about the teacher with the missed opportunity really cute too. then the adult woman preying on children that wasn't cute it was a little maddening how the mom heard what they were saying and was like "meh". the last story/the continuation of the previous one was pretty heartwarming i liked it too. i don't really get the hate. it's not the best movie, but for what it is it's really nice and the animation is very beautiful. i feel like i should rewatch it a few times to truly get it, and the best stories are like that! at least my favorite ones. at the beginning i was thinking 'hey this would be a good movie to put when i invite someone over' but then w the third story it became a hard to recommend one not gonna lie |
