#SPOILER

... This was the first anime movie I watched. At the beginning I found it to be a masterpiece like most people. But as I kept watching more anime and I re-watched it... I started to see that it may not be as good as people say

Sure it has breathtaking visuals, an amazing soundtrack, and a very unique plot.

But after taking a closer look... I found that the characters are not really that good. There are many plot holes, questionable character decisions and some small other issues.

First the negatives...

First with the plot...the plot itself is quite unique, its gets points for that but there are so many things that don't make sense. Many people might say that some things should be left unexplained. But you cannot give such excuses when you don't even explain the one supernatural phenomenon the whole movie is based on. Also the scene where the memo start disappearing in front of Taki's eyes was the most absurd scene in the movie...its like they were waiting for Taki to look before disappearing...the scene would have worked a lot better if the memos were already deleted before Taki sees them.
secondly...what would you do if u find out that you can swap bodies with someone else...the first thing I would do is meet the person. But they wait for like 2 months (I guess) and once the phenomenon stops.
finally I didn't find any character to be interesting except the two lead.

now the positive...

The plot is quite unique... I rarely see such a fantastic stories.
The animation is top tier... the lighting, the animation and the breathtaking visuals almost make me forget the plot holes.
the soundtrack is lit, every song in this movie is catchy and I still hear it in my head. Like always it is beautifully directed and the runtime is perfect.
also this anime will always hold a special place for me as it introduced me to the world of anime...

Overall I think that the anime was absolutely beautiful in every way...the only problem i had with this movies was a few of its plot holes and the side characters.
