For the full review of both movies, I’ve published it in Boku Ai since I watched that one first. This is just a really short review & small-talk about Kimi Ai ONLY. For full evaluation and more in-depth review visit my Boku Ai review!
"Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e," the red movie in the parallel worlds saga, offers a compelling exploration of love that defies the constraints of fate and time. In this emotionally charged narrative, the film follows the journey of Koyomi Hidaka and Shiori Satou, childhood friends whose bond evolves into a profound connection that withstands the challenges presented by parallel worlds.
This
...
movie should be more to the mystic side of love instead of the Sci-Fi theme - although concepts of Sci-Fi are still the main theme. One of the reasons why it’s more emotional to end with.
Distinguished by its intricate portrayal of love's complexities compared to its counterpart, Kimi Ai portrays one’s love and regrets and the inability to let go. But also shows the determination to fight back for one’s love.
This movie made me learn that:
Some can choose to move on from the past, some are still in the process of doing so, some are unable to let go. Many might be forced by others to move on from the past, but when it's about true love it isn’t that simple. Kimi Ai portrays the inability of letting go side, it shows the determination of one’s love, risking everything, even though fate is against them. One would go against fate and the world if they truly love someone.
Letting go or losing someone isn’t a simple thing for a person to face. We all have or will face it multiple times during our lifetime. The feelings of regret might bring out thoughts of “What if this were to happen…”, “If only…”, “Maybe if…”. These thoughts are completely normal for human beings.
This show really brings out the emotional side compared to Boku Ai (the blue one) & executes it well also. If you watch this one last, you will be amaze on the hidden things Boku Ai didn't 100% show - as it will reveal the majority of things (which should clarify confusions due to watching Boku Ai first).
For Music:
Loved the main OST for this one. In contrast to Keina Suda’s OST on BokuAi, Saucy Dog's composition, "shion," becomes the soul-stirring melody that encapsulates the movie's emotional core. This poignant piece encapsulates the struggles of holding onto love, even in the face of adversity and the relentless passage of time. The song resonates with the film's central theme—the refusal to let go, portraying an emotional journey marked by unwavering determination and a profound commitment to love that transcends the boundaries set by parallel worlds.
While the film has its share of drawbacks (I mentioned in Boku Ai review), including voice acting nuances and pacing (I felt the pacing in this movie is abit too fast compared to its counterpart), these elements do not overshadow the emotional resonance achieved (atleast for me). "Kimi Ai" emerges as a testament to the power of love, demonstrating the indomitable spirit required to hold onto cherished connections. In the rich tapestry of the parallel worlds saga, this movie stands out as a poignant exploration of the complexities of love and the tenacity needed to defy fate for the sake of an enduring and heartfelt connection.
Not everything goes to plan. Regrets are always a thing. Not being able to let go is one aspect of true love. If you truly love someone, you would risk & give everything for them even though you might suffer in the end.
Thanks for reading. Read the full on Boku Ai’s page / find it on my review page!

A Unique Journey Through Love and Parallel Worlds: Boku ga Aishita Subete no Kimi e & Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e
Had the pleasure of experiencing two extraordinary anime movies during New Year’s Eve, "Boku ga Aishita Subete no Kimi e" (the blue movie) and its counterpart "Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e" (the red movie). People who love theories of love, romance, relationships and its complexity should watch this. Very underrated.
I chose the blue-to-red path. What was supposed to be the depressing-emotional route filled with more confusion. - though I didn’t feel confused at all despite the fact I was ½ drunk
...
whilst watching both movies.
The anime introduces us to a world where parallel worlds are a routine phenomenon, and love transcends these dimensions. The concept of a different world due to different decisions made resulting in divergent outcomes, reminiscent of masterpieces like Steins;Gate, beautifully intertwines romance with the complexities of parallel existence.
One of the standout elements of these movies is the execution of their unique concept. Watching them in the order of blue to red, felt like peeling back layers of a mystery, gradually revealing the intricacies of the plot. This approach enhanced the overall viewing experience, creating the feeling of “Ohh so thatss what happen”.
The interpretation of parallel worlds within the anime is well-crafted, providing a fresh perspective on the concept. It brings to mind the enchanting works of Makoto Shinkai, known for his mystical approach to love, only here, the mysticism is replaced by a compelling sci-fi backdrop.
The musical score of these movies is another highlight, featuring Keina Suda. The OST, reminiscent of romance anime like "Road to You" and "Flavours of Youth," perfectly complements the sweetness and the bitterness of teenage romance. Notably, the contrast between Keina Suda's and Saucy Dog's songs in each movie adds a layer of emotional complexity, capturing the essence of teenage love and the inevitable passage of time.
Keina Suda's musical prowess shines through in the OST of "Boku ga Aishita Subete no Kimi e" (the blue movie). The songs, such as "Kumo no kou" (Love the clouds) and "Rakkaryusui," capture the essence of teenage love and the nostalgic sweetness of memories. These tracks, with their melodic and emotionally resonant tunes, perfectly complement the themes of eternal love and the joy found in cherishing moments with loved ones. Suda's music creates a poignant backdrop that enhances the emotional impact of the narrative.
In "Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e" (the red movie), Saucy Dog takes the lead, contributing a memorable main OST song titled "shion" - named after Kimi Ai’s main female lead. This composition beautifully reflects the melancholic reflection on the passage of time and the inevitability of change. The lyrics convey a sense of regret, acknowledging the pain of saying goodbye and the longing for what once was. Saucy Dog's work adds a layer of complexity to the storytelling, emphasizing the bittersweet nature of life, love, and the inescapable passage of time.
Not only do BokuAi's story & KimiAi’s story contrast each other, the main soundtracks produced contrast each other as well.
The contrasting themes in the music of the two movies enhances the storytelling. Keina Suda's compositions in "Boku Ai" focus on the happiness and warmth of memories, providing a musical backdrop that resonates with the joy of love. On the other hand, Saucy Dog's "shion" in "Kimi Ai" explores the regrets, longing, and the unchangeable nature of memories. The juxtaposition of these musical themes adds emotional depth, underscoring the divergent paths of the two films.
"Boku Ai" explores the idea of eternal love and the joy found in cherishing memories, while "Kimi Ai" delves into the themes of unwavering love, the pain of separation, and the desire to reunite with a lost love. These contrasting themes are expertly woven into the fabric of each movie.
While these films are undoubtedly praiseworthy, there are some notable drawbacks. The voice acting, at times, feels messy and may detract from the emotional impact for some viewers. Additionally, the artstyle, reminiscent of older works from the 2010-2015 era, may be perceived as outdated, and certain animations lack the crispness expected in a 2022 release. The pacing in "Kimi Ai" is also a bit brisk compared to its counterpart, potentially affecting the enjoyment for some.
In conclusion, "Boku ga Aishita Subete no Kimi e" and "Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e" stand as compelling tales that explore the intricate dance between love and parallel worlds. The unique narrative unfolds with a poignant journey through memories, both joyful and fraught with regrets, highlighting the profound impact of choices made in the realm of love.
The anime masterfully weaves the concept of parallel worlds into the fabric of the characters' lives, portraying love as a force that transcends dimensions. It delves into the notion of loving someone in every conceivable way, finding joy in shared memories, and being grateful for the connections forged. Conversely, it also explores the depths of love, where one's commitment reaches the point of defying fate itself, doing anything to reunite with a beloved or to ensure their happiness.
At its core, the anime imparts valuable morals about love, memories, decisions, and regrets. The stories emphasize the importance of cherishing the moments that bring happiness and fulfillment, while also acknowledging the inevitability of choices that may lead to heartache and remorse. The characters grapple with the complexities of navigating love in the face of changing circumstances, showcasing the profound impact of decisions on relationships.
A central moral of the story resonates with the concept of parallel worlds influencing one's choices. The narrative suggests that every decision creates a branching path, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. This intricate dance of choices and consequences underscores the need for thoughtful consideration before making decisions, particularly in matters of the heart. The anime serves as a reminder that one's choices shape not only their present but also the parallel worlds that unfold alongside it.
In essence, "Boku ga Aishita Subete no Kimi e" and "Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e" offer more than a mere exploration of love and parallel worlds; they provide a canvas for reflection on the complex nature of relationships, the intricateness of love, and the profound impact of choices. These films are a testament to the intricate beauty of storytelling that transcends dimensions, leaving audiences with a profound sense of introspection and appreciation for the complexities of human love.
Thank you for reading. I hoped I didn’t spoil or give hints on anything.

I guess my expectation was too high before starting this show due to the sheer amount of people sayiing that its THAT good. Some fights towards the end of the show were hype, but thats about it for the show.
Fightscenes are great tho, new artstyle for fights seemed to be more funky.
The comedy is ass, reminds me of demon slayer - they should've not included most of it. But hey atleast they didn't include it every episode; unlike Demon Slayer.
Killed of characters without much depth into it. Show was pretty boring throughout the middle of the series. If you watch anime for the
...
fights only, that this anime is for you.
In the end of the day: enjoyed fightscenes, wish more depth to the killed of characters feels like just got introduced & killed of immediately, I barely cared for the killed of characters. Only came for Sukuna & only sukuna made me feel the show is fire.

Personal Short Review
Let me keep it simple & minimal spoilers:
- Story is ass (for an anime rated this much & with this much popularity)
- Characters introduced are generic and could be considered annoying; the only character that was realistic is Muichiro's brother
- Comedy is absolute worst
The good things about this show is only Ufotable's effects & art (Fight scenes reminds me of Fate's with one of the OST being similar)
Sound design is great but the opening isn't as great as the previous seasons
Really don't get it why Demon Slayer uses cringe childish comedy - which isn't funny at all - when the show's filled with
...
blood. (Seems like they made it for literal kids even though the ratings on Netflix is 16+ & includes blood every fight scenes as well as designed Mitsuri with revealing breasts)
This season is probably the weakest DS season as of now.
Conclusion: Fan service season probs, I guess ppl only rate high for Mitsuri & are hardcore DS fans. If you like Demon Slayer & do not watch anime to see great story, then this is for you. Watching this show requires being braindead for me atleast.

Most overrated bullshit of 2021, with trash story and cliched garbage characters.
[MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS]
First of all, the story. Guy goes back in time 12 years back from the present. After doing so, does gang fights to change the future & prevent the death of his gf. Not original, but if done right I might enjoy it. But guess what, I didn't.
The show is repetitive. Every time a stronger and bigger gang members gang up the MC, all he does is cry about how weak of a person he is, waiting for someone to save his ass. The MC cries EVERY EPISODE, like every no
...
exaggeration. Heck, even the concept of time travel isn't even well-explored. There's also so many times where Takemichi hints to other characters that he knows the future, but they act as if it were normal. This doesn't make any sense. It seemed like the author forgot/did not care to add elements of realism towards the show.
The characters are cliched and generic. MC is your typical crybaby shounen protagonist, and some might say that's okay as long as there's development. But guess what, no development. Throughout the entire season, Takemichi went from crybaby to crybaby. But the worst written character in this show would be Kazutora, his reasoning for him to hate Mikey was utterly bull shit. Like tf? he was the one who murdered people yet blames Mikey for it? LOL? And the other characters are just either bland & generic or retarded.
Art & Animation:
It seems like the art & animation time traveled back in time too.
1. Some scenes had deformed characters.
2. Slideshow animations
But then again, art is just personal preference.
Sound:
Average, nothing memorable.
I didn't enjoy the anime, forced myself to finish it; just because people were saying that it's "one of the best anime of 2021". Which clearly isn't.
Overall: Steins;gate with crybaby MC, average generic unlikeable characters, trash plot. 3/10
I have come to the conclusion that most of the shows (most, NOT ALL) nowadays that are rated high, are overrated. Seems like the people who rate these kinds of shows high are just the normies who've just started watching anime during quarantine.
