| Went and saw this movie tonight at a local cinema. Typical teens in an unusual situation ending up having to pull off a plan/heist to wrap up the story. The animation was nice, the songs were very good, and the story had a nice plot twist which I hadn’t foreseen. Wasn’t quite as heavy thematically (or heavy handed) as “Ryu to Sobakasu no Hime”. Enjoyable feel good movie. |
| Question for anyone who's seen the movie: It doesn't have any scenes of characters' grabbing boobs or panty shots or anything, right? |
| Pleasantly surprised with this movie, I think it is overall better than Belle which didn't feel as cohesive as a movie. All the of the main cast were likeable and even though the story is simple it was done well. Soundtrack is pretty nice. I also think the art style/animation were very clean as expected of a movie release. |
| I had a great time watching this on the big screen! it was a super warm and fun movie. it's a bummer it got such a limited run in theaters. i would love to watch this one again :D :D :D |
| Just saw it at the cinema. Turing Test the Movie (or as they call it the "Wozniak Test"). |

| Watched this in cinemas earlier today and I would say it turned out better than I was expecting (based on the trailer). I guess travelling 2hours from my place to the nearest cinema screening this movie in my country is worth it. Not bad for the Funimation's first co-produced anime film I would say. The somehow "twist" that Shion came from Satomi's toy that Toma modified came out unexpected. I thought Shion trying to make Satomi happy was because it was Satomi's mother who was leading the team who developed Shion but the revelation make sense. The movie does not have the "god-tier" animations that you can expect from a Shinkai or KyoAni film, this is JC Staff anyway but the voice acting was superb and that also made the movie too god to watch. I'd love to watch the movie in cinemas again but Funimation in my country only screened it to selected cinemas in my state (Victoria, Australia) and I have to travel 2hrs from my place (Melbourne western suburbs) to get to the nearest cinemas screening this (Melbourne eastern suburbs). Not even screening in Melbourne CBD area screening. |

| I watched this on the cinema alone because my parents was watching something else lol anyways there were a lot of relationships hinted though it's not something that sparks in this movie a lot, more or less the power of friendship is immaculate but at the same time the concept of AI and such was pretty unusual. Shion is an AI and the way she introduces herself in class is very charming and she also has a huge talent in singing. Lead your Partner was very chilling and it's almost like I'm in a musical world. I haven't watch Belle so can't compare but I'd rewatch this again. |
| First movie that I saw dubbed on accident in cinemas and to be fair, I don't completely regret it. Loads of Disney energy was there with the singing except I didn't hate it like other Disney films. It was clunky like other anime movies and not the most ambitious nor most well-written with the script (hell, I've seen the heist gimmick used in so many anime films recently too), but I had more fun watching this than something like Belle. There's a charm to this movie that I can't quite put my finger on, even if I know the actual quality of the movie isn't top-rate by any means like most other anime films. Production was solid too and surprisingly consistent with movement and colors for a J.C Staff production. Don't quite know what to rate this exactly, will probably flip flop for the next few days. |
| Oh yeah, forgot to mention too that the singing sequences were fun in this movie, particularly focusing on the Shion dance/judo practice with Thunder and the one with everyone singing to Satomi as a part of Shion's plan to 'make Touma happy' were pretty entertaining. I even like the dub having just awful ass singing for guys like Touma when trying to cheer Satomi up, shows that they really did get into the mood without caring about how they sound or not. Shion for an AI definitely was a part of the movie oozing some real personality at times. |
| So some parts were kinda dumb. So the first time all the kids were apprehended by the group, wasn't all of that extremely illegal? Couldn't they just blackmail that douchebag manager with that. They kidnapped them and took their belongings. Why...how were wind turbinids making fireworks? Why did the satellite make that beam? Where/how did the guy upload her. And Why did they think it was a good idea in the first place to put that AI in public. Like did they not see how weird she behaved in the first place? |
 |
| The story of the AI Shion with Satomi, Toma and their friends. Despite the cliche world where everything revolves around the ai community, I found the movie unique with how it connects to each people. Shion have been watching Satomi since she was still a kid. I am also amazed by the insert songs, very pleasant to the ears. I loved the part where Shion still supported them at the end to get together lol. |

| Actually a really fun experience with a nice twist to it. Good Job, J.C. Staff, for once the animation looked good. |
| that [RO:M] scene.. fuuhhh amazing! |
 |
| Pretty nice movie with a good twist. The backstory of Shion was done really well. |
 |
| Gorgeous movie from both it's visuals and writing/directing. It borrows a bit from several other movies and media, like robot revolt from I. Robot and a wandering AI that evolves on it's own surfing the net like the GITS movie, all in a good way. I was kinda expecting a full blown musical, but the "insert songs" were still pretty good and managed to adjust my expectations. I think this is probably among the best kind of "school" anime I've seen in quite a while, since the main protagonists aren't exactly tight packed (they are quite the opposite) but all they needed was a cute robot girl to brighten their day and allow them to forgive and forget their past quarrels. |
| Well.. Watched it just now. Animation was beautiful. I enjoyed the movie. But it was not something so impactful. But yeah! Not bad really! |
| It's great but It would have been great to see more about the AI of that world. Really felt like watching a disney movie tho |
 |
| i loved it!! it was so charming, the songs were great as well. i really liked the characters & their little stories & relationships. i also think the friend group had really great chemistry & i enjoyed their scenes with shion & how she brought them together. sometimes it's hard to say what you mean, i really liked the scene where she conveyed how aya felt about gocchan into the song. there were also a plently of subtleties and details from character reactions to characterizations, it's not in-your-face but that's what i liked about it. like how gocchan was struggling not only with his relationship but his identity of self, feeling aimless, admiring the people around him & asking questions to try to understand those around him & himself. also, thunder's crush on shion was cute lol their scenes were great, especially when they sparred!! ♡♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
When I saw the ロングPV I immediately went and see it. I love it! |
  |
| This movie was such a fun and pleasant surprise. It was very charming and full of positive energy! Really liked it throughout, some parts were bit too cheesy for me but I am fine with it, the movie was obviously for all ages but still geared towards younger audience. It's something I would want to watch with my kids if I had them, maybe one day xD |
| Its such roller coaster emotion and I love it. |
 |
| Kenjirou Tsuda's character did nothing wrong. |
| I didn't see any "Disney things" you guys are talking about but it was pretty well made. Every scene was lovely! |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Well, this was more disney-like than many Disney movies, lol. |
| I love this movie, it's makes me happy knowing Shion has been trying on making Satomi happy for years and still planning on doing it. Also the songs, it's good and makes you smile. |
| unexpectedly pretty fuckin good!!! lots of cliches, felt very disney-like but i loved every second of it. we have the classic group. hot popular guy, tsundere chick, loner fl, awkward love interest, soft bear dude and throw in this bundle of joy of an ai in the mix. i would've loved this as a series honestly. like aya and gotchan getting their own episode, esp him struggling with his future and her hurting to see him like that without being able to do anything, i was rly invested in their relationship lmaoo thunder actually crushing on shion thooo😭😭 even when knowing shes an ai damn hope you fine better love soon man that scene where they sang to satomi near the solar panels was amazinggg definitely my fav scene and shion being the best wingman ever o77 overall rly good, i enjoyed it a lot. i rly liked the futuristic ish setting, how "normal" it was and not Too futuristic yk. the mom struggling with her job despite having many awards bc of the male dominated industry was a nice touch, they didnt obsess with it too much which is good awe man that was such a nice watch definitely a high 7 for me |
| It was ok I guess. Still think that Eve no Jikan is Yoshiura's best work. |
| All 4 songs were great. Cute AI Good vibes from the show. Loved how in the middle we were tricked to believe Shion went bonkers and did something horrible to Touma. xD One concern, how the AI will deal with the inevitability of death (for humans)? AI like Shion can potentially live forever, while humans like Satomi will one day die. Since Shion was attached to Satomi so much, I couldn't stop but think about Shion's grim future... I guess I'll just slap myself so depressing thoughts can go away. |
| OK movie. Shion went to space, so thats nice. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| got a mixed feeling about this movie typical ai moment |
deep fried lettuce   ^i snitched this from a dude's forum signature^  |
| I haven't had a movie watching experince like this in a while. Honestly the premise is very base line but so many elements of this are absolutely refreshing. (Did make me bawl more then once in the second half, "Are you happy Satomi?" killed me!) Single mom whose in a really phenomenal technical leadership raising her daughter. A group of teenagers who actually become friends in a very natural and wholesome way. The romance which I was so not expecting at all really hit the warm and fuzzies. Plus all the teens have quirks, personality, and growth. Plus I am a musical junkie and the music was GOOD not just the singing parts but the OST at a lot of points enhanced the teary eyes. There's so many details everywhere and the twist of Shion being born from the AI Touma made, I mean. I felt like I was piecing it together and there was so many good crumbs from the very first scene and it's just kind of brilliant in how it tied itself up. 9/10 for now but it'll mostly get bumped after a second rewatch. + It doesn't need to be emphasised but the film in general is stunning, I usually whine about the character designs being a little plain but it worked so well with the grounded modern setting that is so well built from a plethora of world building just from the interactions. Tons to say about this but I'll leave it here. |
 |
| if Disney made an anime... This movie was absolutely amazing, I laughed, I cried, and have absolutely fallen in love with this movie. |
 |
| From the creator of Time of Eve. It wasn't as great as that, but it was decent. 5/10. It would have been better if it was longer or as a season of a few episodes with more depth. The bonding of friendship was too fast with just two events of helping a couple stay together, and a judoka finally win. Satomi's unhappiness isn't extra clear either, so her cure to happiness feels odd for how lackluster the clarity and development was. Although, excluding those flaws, the reveal of Shion being that early pet AI of 8 years ago following the boy's order to make Satomi happy is beautiful. The lack of an epilogue is underwhelming though. So, with the potential that this story could of have with more depth, it's a little disappointing. Also, a (basically) real vocaloid in high school would realistically get mocked or laughed at by high schoolers, if not feel embarrassed and awkward, even if the singer is good. A "real" life musical method of happiness is cute though. I do like the similarity from the creator of relaying a life theme message to happiness through science fiction again, i.e. Robot vs AI. |
