Man! it may not be the best Makoto Shinkai's job, but there's no doubt the man knows how to hit you in the feelings. Maybe is because I have had some harsh times lately and today wasn't a really good day, or maybe the fact that it was raining while I was watching the movie (as a matter of fact it's still raining), or maybe a bit of both, but that movie sincerely made me feel nice (I really enjoy rainy nights). Knowing that Hina and Hodaka found happiness even in the mess they made gives me some sense of hope and will to keep ... on trying. Don't know if Shinkai was trying to transmit those feelings to the audience, but it was what the movie made me feel, and for me is not about the thecnical aspects of an anime what makes it good or bad, but the connection that it creates with you what makes an anime, movie, song or any form of art, a good work, and for that reason this film is just great, don´t hesitate on watch it.

Way better than it's prequel, this series has better characters and a more developed story. Yet it fails on beign a good adaptation of its source material, it succed on beign a decent series that wont bore you, specially if you don't know the source material.
I only watched the prequel because My Anime List says it has some relation with Steins Gate (I don't know where) and it was really dissapointing, a total waste of time, and only finished it just because I don't like left things unfinished. Anyway, I really enjoyed this sequel. Sure it didn't sparks joy in my eyes but at least ... made me want to watch episode after episode.
You wont miss much if you don't see it, but if you do you'll enjoy it as the decent series it is, specially a couple good cliffhangers it has. Basically it wont bore you and will let you wit the feeling of have watched a good series that had potential to be greater.

OK, I started to watch this because My Anime List says it is an alternative setting to Steins Gate, but man, there's nothing remotely related to Steins Gate in that show! I waited 'till the end to see if maybe theres a cameo or some but nothing. Now, the main idea of the story is not bad, tech and people who can turn illusions into reality? sounds interesting, but the story was terrible developed, also the characters had an even worst development, lacking any convinceable motivations to do what they do. The animation was really mediocre and the sound too. But the worst part was ... that super-mega looser of protagonist, a pathetic hikikomori afraid even from his own shadow who spent the entire show crying like a bitch screaming for help, but magically he becoms the hero the last 10 minutes of the show. The only decent of this show was its opening song, nothing more
