By reading the synopsis, it may seem like the plot is quite similar to the Silent Voice, however after watching the movie I didn't feel like I've seen anything like this before. However certain elements in the plot might be compared to other animes which I will later on expand on.

Story: 10/10

The Story is easy to understand, A Girl who's handicapped and is forced to stay at home, meets a boy who helps her explore and understand the world outside. The Story has it's happy and sad moments, consider it a similar feeling to Makato Shinkai's Your Name (Kimi no Nawa). The story gives off ... a very expected plot twist (Note: I expected the plot twist, however you may not) however is able to carry the story forward brilliantly which many animes fail to.
If you're into Happy and Sad stuff, You might enjoy this story!

Characters: 9/10

This is one of those animes, which is able to make almost perfect anime characters, it's amazing how the side characters are well written with their feelings being expressed perfectly. All of the characters are fun to watch, and are relatable to a certain extent.

The only reason the score is 9/10, is because of Josee, the female lead, her behavior at a certain period was not relatable and very unexplained, by unexplained I mean to say that the behavior wasn't something you'd expect of in a certain situation. This period/situation was short timed though and the character was well written and amazing otherwise.

Art: 9/10

The Art of this movie is great, I'm not really bothered about Art but I have sensitive eyes that can see differences really quickly, Some scenes may have top notch art, and the next moment may feel like a downgrade, however I only felt this during the first 15-20 minutes of the movie, the art style continued to be static and great all along for the rest of the movie, even the credits and post credit scenes were well animated.

Sound: 10/10

I don't usually care about the music, but the songs really made me open Shazam and search for the name of the songs, particularly 'Shinkai' by Eve. The soundtrack was great.

Enjoyment: 9/10

It's a great movie to watch if you really liked movies like Your Name, Silent Voice, and I want to eat your pancreas, this movie however has more romance than the movies that I just stated. It's enjoyable, there are funny, emotional, and awkward moments, and I think a lot of you may enjoy it as well.

Overall: 10/10

Definitely recommend watching, if you're out of things to watch or want to relax yourself by watching a movie, this is one of the best movies to watch.

I haven't written a review for any anime before, but this one deservers one.

Protagonist: Rating 4/10

This is probably the worst kind of protagonist I've ever seen, A typical loner who doesn't how to live his life and compares it to a game, as a gamer, I'm really sad on how a top-league gamer is being represented here. Comparing to Hachiman Hikigaya (protagonist, OreGairu), who can also be considered anti-social and a loner, this protagonists failed to grab my interest at all.

Storyline: Rating 6/10

The Story could've been much better (talking up to Ep 4), I personally started watching this anime because I thought it might be ... related to gaming in someway, I thought it must be about a gaming tournament, where this loner must form a team (something like Kono Oto Tomare), but NO! It's about this guy sorting his life by relating it to a single game with the help of a friend.

Art: Rating 8/10

I'm not gonna criticize this, I really liked the Tackfam animations, they could've probably made the protagonist better, but this is ok.

Sound: Rating 4/10 or 5/10

I don't really know how to judge this, The Opening kind of sounds like something from a Comedy Anime, It's not bad, but it feels Cringy on a Drama Anime.

Enjoyment: Rating 4/10

I wasn't really impressed or felt great by watching this anime, neither was I feeling bad, It just felt like randomly picking a book off your bookshelf and reading it, unless and until you're really into such stories, I recommend waiting till this season is over and watching all the episodes altogether.

Conclusion: Overall Rating: ?/10

I wont be giving it an overall rating, till it's over or I choose to drop it, but till Episode 4: it's 7/10 just because Episode 4 was better than the rest of the episodes. I'll probably drop it if it doesn't get good till Episode 7 (that's usually a turning point for animes to be interesting)

I hope anyone who's reading this finds it useful
