5/10 Averages
For those avoiding spoilers: The pairings in this show are absolutely terrible. I didn’t like them at all. That said, I did enjoy the premise of this massive romance hexagon where everything is supposed to connect by the end, if that’s what actually happened, which it didn’t. What I did appreciate is how the male characters are somewhat realistic, they’re flawed, relatively plain, and even kind of ugly. One of them is a huge pervert, borderline sexual assaulter, which honestly made him unbearable to watch. But let’s dive deeper:
Spoilers ahead.
Let’s start with the main couple. We get an open ending, which already
...
pissed me off. We don’t know which of the brothers she chooses, even though it’s obvious she was really in love with the younger one. The older brother was a decent character, but he just wasn’t my cup of tea. He’s big and gentle, but why the hell does he love fighting so much? It’s completely out of character for someone who’s supposed to be “calm and kind" so screw this guy and screw this ship.
Then there’s the other love triangle that made no sense whatsoever. The super-hot girl (Yamamoto, or whatever her name is) randomly falls in love with a guy just because he gave her a lollipop. Seriously, a lollipop? Come on, author, you could’ve done better. She was stuck in a love triangle with the lollipop guy’s best friend and her childhood friend, but neither of those stories gets proper closure. The childhood friend is the one from the main ship and after he is rejected he is shoved into yet another love triangle, poor guy😭, just let him rest so screw this ship and screw this love triangle ALSO the best friend ends up with his sister. Yes, his sister
Now, I’ll admit I don’t hate incest stories (don’t judge me), but if you’re going to go there, at least give us proper closure for the most popular girl in the cast. The brocon subplot had potential, but instead, it fizzles out into nothing.
As for the other pairings? They’re irrelevant. They get minimal development and are resolved instantly. But the one I hated the most was the beautiful girl and the disgusting pervert. Where do I even start? This guy is an extreme pervert, borderline criminal. A few things happens he acts kind and serious blah blah, and somehow the beautiful girl falls for him, BULLSHIT, Are you kidding me? This is such lazy writing. I’ve seen this trope a thousand times, and it never gets better. The whole “ugly, creepy loser gets the perfect girl” plot needs to die. Whoever wrote this needs to step outside, touch some grass, and reflect on the time they wasted writing this Wattpad ahh type of shit.
Final thoughts
I said what I needed to say. I wish they’d given us more of the sister/brother subplot, but it is what it is. This show tried to be Amagami SS without the “same guy, different girls” premise and failed miserably. I hate open endings, so that’s another red flag for anyone thinking about watching this. The OP and ED are generic as hell, and while the animation is decent (reminds me of Amagami), it’s nothing spectacular.
In the end, this is one of the most annoying romcoms I’ve ever watched. The romantic hexagon resolves itself in the most anticlimactic way possible. Honestly, screw this show.

Just finished watching it, and wow what an emotional ride. For those who haven’t seen it, it’s a coming of age story set in 1960s Japan, revolving around friendship, love, and jazz. It’s got that perfect mix of heartfelt storytelling and musical brilliance.
What makes this anime so special isn’t just the jazz, though that’s phenomenal it’s the way it captures the raw, bittersweet nature of youth. The relationships feel real they are messy, complicated, and full of moments that remind you of your own struggles with growing up. Kaoru, Sentaro, and Ritsuko’s dynamics hit hard because they’re so human. There’s tension, misunderstandings, and
...
unspoken emotions, but there’s also warmth, loyalty, and that unshakable bond that only true friends share.
The music isn’t just a backdrop it’s the heartbeat of the show. The jam sessions, especially on the piano and drums, are so alive that they feel like a character in their own right. Jazz becomes this metaphor for connection, freedom, and expression, tying everything together.
But it’s not just about the happy moments. It hits you with that nostalgic ache, the kind where you long for something even as you experience it. It’s a story about fleeting moments, about how people come into your life and leave their mark, even if they don’t stay forever. The ending? Poignant and beautiful, leaving you with just the right amount of closure while still making you reflect.
If you’re into character-driven stories with a strong emotional core, this one’s a must watch. It’s a masterpiece in showing how music and friendship can shape who we are, and it left me feeling both uplifted and melancholic. Easy 9/10.

8/10 This movie is a powerful reminder that healing is possible and it doesn’t always come in the form of a fairy tale romance.
It is an emotional and beautifully crafted anime movie that dives deep into themes of trauma and self expression. It’s a story that resonates with anyone who has ever felt burdened by their own words. While it doesn’t reach perfection, it’s an impactful and memorable film with strong emotional beats and a satisfying, realistic conclusion.
A girl who believes she has been cursed to silence after a traumatic childhood incident where her words inadvertently caused her family to fall
...
apart. This "curse" becomes a metaphor for her social anxiety, as she isolates herself and struggles to express her feelings. Her life takes a turn when she’s forced to join a group tasked with organizing a musical for their school. Through this, she begins to find her voice again, both literally and figuratively.
One of the film’s strengths is its characters and their interactions. Jun’s journey is at the heart of the story, but the supporting cast plays a vital role in her recovery.
Sakagami, the kind and reserved male lead, acts as a stabilizing force for Jun. His gentle nature helps her open, each character has their own struggles, and their interactions with Jun feel genuine and heartfelt. The group’s collaborative effort to put on the musical mirrors their personal growth, with each character finding their own way to move forward.
The movie’s portrayal of anxiety and trauma is one of its most commendable aspects. Jun’s “curse” is a powerful and creative representation of how anxiety can feel—like a constant weight holding you back from speaking your truth. Her hesitation, fear of rejection, and tendency to internalize blame are all portrayed with sensitivity and realism.
Her progress is gradual, and the film doesn’t present her recovery as a sudden, magical transformation. Instead, it emphasizes that healing is a journey, often requiring the support of others and the courage to face one’s fears.
The ending is one of the film’s most controversial takes but for me it's refreshing and standout elements. While there’s a clear connection between Jun and Takumi, the story doesn’t force a romantic resolution. Instead, it reinforces the idea that kindness, understanding, and emotional support don’t always have to lead to love. This subversion of typical romance tropes is both mature and realistic, making the conclusion feel more meaningful and authentic.
After the rejection and what feels to her the end of the fairy tale Jun learns to accept herself and let go of her guilt. It’s a message that kindness is valuable on its own, not as a means to an end.
Visually, the film is stunning. The vibrant colors, expressive character designs, and dreamlike sequences such as the fairy tale-esque depictions of Jun’s “curse” enhance the emotional impact of the story. The animation during the musical scenes is particularly beautiful.
While it is a deeply moving film, it’s not without its flaws. Some of the side characters arcs feel underdeveloped, and the pacing can be uneven at times, particularly in the second act. The story leans heavily on emotional beats, which may feel overly dramatic to some viewers. Additionally, while the metaphor of the “curse” is effective, it occasionally feels a bit heavy handed, especially during Jun’s internal monologues.
Final Thought
It is a beautifully emotional story about finding your voice and overcoming the weight of past mistakes. Its thoughtful depiction of anxiety and its mature handling of relationships make it a standout in its genre. The decision to prioritize personal growth over romance in the ending is a bold and refreshing choice that sets it apart from many others.
While it’s not perfect, the film’s heart and sincerity more than make up for its shortcomings. For anyone who has ever felt silenced by their own fears or sought solace in the kindness of others.

6/10 meh
A cute and colorful movie that’s worth a casual watch, but don’t expect it to stick with you for long.
It is a visually vibrant anime movie that attempts to capture the essence of youth. While it succeeds in creating an aesthetically pleasing and occasionally heartwarming experience, it stumbles in delivering a fully satisfying narrative, leaving it feeling a bit shallow overall.
The plot revolves around two socially awkward teens: a boy who expresses himself through haiku, and a cheerful girl who hides behind a mask due to her insecurities about her teeth. At its core, the film is a coming of age story
...
about self expression and overcoming insecurities. Cherry’s reserved personality contrasts with Smile’s bubbly nature, creating a dynamic that’s charming but predictable. While the premise has potential, the narrative feels lightweight, and the emotional beats don’t land as strongly as they could.
Visuals and Aesthetic
The film’s strongest aspect is its colorful and stylized art direction. The bold, pastel palette and playful designs make the movie visually delightful, giving it a unique identity. The animations are fluid and expressive, effectively capturing the sunny, carefree vibe of summer.
The exploration of self-expression through haiku and social media is modern. Cherry’s use of poetry to convey emotions adds an interesting layer, even if it feels underexplored. Smile’s struggle with self-image resonates with anyone.
It doesn’t try to be overly dramatic or philosophical, focusing instead on delivering a feel-good experience.
Problem 1 shallow character development
While Cherry and Smile are likable, they lack depth. Cherry’s shy nature and love for haiku are intriguing traits, but his growth feels minimal by the end. Similarly, Smile’s journey of self-acceptance is resolved too quickly and neatly, making her arc feel superficial. The supporting characters are mostly one-dimensional and don’t leave much of an impression.
Problem 2 pacing issues
The story moves at an uneven pace, with certain scenes dragging while others feel rushed. The quest for the vinyl record, meant to be the emotional anchor of the film, takes up too much screen time without delivering the payoff it promises.
Problem 3 Lack of emotional impact
For a movie centered on self expression and personal growth, it surprisingly lacks emotional resonance. The budding romance between Cherry and Smile, while cute, doesn’t have enough weight to leave a lasting impact. The film’s climax, though visually striking, feels underwhelming in terms of emotional stakes.
Final Thoughts
It is a visually charming and pleasant movie that’s easy to enjoy but hard to love. It has the ingredients for a memorable coming of age romance quirky characters, heartfelt themes, and a unique aesthetic but it doesn’t dig deep enough to fully realize its potential.
With better pacing, stronger character development, and more emotional depth, it could have been a standout film. As it stands, it’s an enjoyable but forgettable experience that leaves you wishing it had done more with its premise.

Another great and bittersweet work of Makoto Shinkai
5 Centimeters Per Second is a beautifully melancholic exploration of love, distance, and the passage of time. The film captures the fragility of human connections in a way that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
At its core, It is about unfulfilled longing and how relationships often fail to live up to the ideals we hold in our minds. Each act represents a different phase in Takaki's life, charting his journey from a childhood defined by innocent love to an adulthood marked by regret and introspection. The film’s title metaphor the rate at which cherry blossoms fall
...
perfectly encapsulates the gradual and inevitable drift between people.
The first act is the strongest and most emotionally impactful, as it captures the bittersweetness of young love and the pain of separation. Takaki and Akari’s relationship feels real, and their letter exchanges resonate with melancholy only childhood love can evoke.
The second act, shifts the perspective to Kanae, a classmate of Takaki’s. This segment highlights how Takaki’s emotional distance impacts those around him, yet it feels less impactful than the first act. While Kanae’s struggles are relatable, her arc feels underdeveloped, and the story doesn’t dive deeply enough into Takaki’s perspective during this time.
The third and last act, is the most abstract and bittersweet. It portrays an adult Takaki who is stuck in the past, haunted by his memories of Akari. The lack of direct resolution in this act reinforces the film’s theme of missed opportunities and the inevitability of moving on. However, this approach also leaves the audience wanting more clarity, as the narrative feels intentionally incomplete.
One of the film’s undeniable strengths is its breathtaking visuals. Every frame is meticulously crafted, with Shinkai’s signature attention to detail shining through. From the snowfall in the countryside to the vibrant sunsets and cityscapes, the imagery perfectly complements the emotional tone of the story. The visuals often do the heavy lifting, conveying feelings that the sparse dialogue leaves unsaid.
The film excels at depicting the quiet, often unspoken struggles of relationships. It doesn’t rely on dramatic confrontations or sweeping romantic gestures,instead, it captures the subtle ways people grow apart. The emotions feel raw and genuine, making the story deeply moving for anyone who has experienced similar feelings of longing or loss.
The film’s portrayal of how life and time can erode even the most intense connections feels painfully real. It’s a story about the inevitability of change and how people must learn to let go, even when they don’t want to. This relatability is what makes it so memorable as it feels like a snapshot of real life rather than a polished, idealized romance.
One of its flaws is that the segmented nature of the film can feel disjointed. While the first act is a near-perfect encapsulation of young love, the second and third acts don’t quite reach the same emotional heights. The transition between acts is abrupt, and the time skips leave the audience to fill in too many blanks. This approach makes the story feel incomplete.
Although Takaki and Akari’s relationship is the heart of the story, the film doesn’t spend enough time exploring who they are as individuals. Akari, in particular, feels more like an idealized figure than a fully realized character. We have to read the spinoff light novel to see more of her emotions and it really makes it feel incomplete as a movie, i never cheered for her not even once after watching Kanae's struggles with her one sided love.
The ending, while poignant, leaves a lot to the imagination. Takaki and Akari’s final “encounter” at the train crossing is symbolic and open to interpretation, but it can also feel anticlimactic. For a film that builds so much emotional tension, the lack of a concrete resolution may leave some viewers feeling unfulfilled. It’s a deliberate choice, but one that risks alienating those who prefer closure in their stories.
Final Thoughts
5 Centimeters Per Second is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant film that captures the fleeting nature of love and human connection. Its themes are universally relatable, making it a deeply moving experience. However, its fragmented structure and reliance on implication leave much to the imagination, which can be frustrating for viewers who crave a more complete narrative.
While it’s not without its flaws, the film’s emotional authenticity and breathtaking visuals make it a standout work in Makoto Shinkai’s filmography. It’s a poignant reminder of how relationships can shape us, even if they don’t last forever. For those willing to embrace its bittersweet tone and open-ended storytelling, 5 Centimeters Per Second offers a memorable and thought-provoking experience.
Rating: 9/10. A must watch for romance enjoyers, as a bitter sweet ending is much better than a sad one.
My personal opinion on the ending, please be careful of spoilers ahead, They both learn to move on no matter how sad this is, Takagi will finally be able to meet other expectations of him and maybe even find a second true love, as for Akari, she has moved on much earlier than Takagi, which is rather realistic, as for why would someone expect that a childhood love still longs for her. It's a sad take on "destined" love and in my opinion the "what could have been" is the saddest type of story telling, i'm unable to give it a rewatch because of the feelings the ending gives me but i can't recommend it enough.

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is a beautifully crafted story that masterfully blends music, romance, and tragedy.
While it’s not without its minor flaws, the sheer emotional weight and artistic brilliance of make it a standout anime deserving high praise.
One of the anime’s strengths is how it explores the duality of joy and sorrow. The lighthearted moments between Kousei, Kaori, and their friends are often undercut by the underlying emotional struggles each character faces. Kousei’s trauma, Kaori’s hidden pain, and Tsubaki’s unspoken feelings add layers of complexity to the story, making it much more than a simple romance or coming-of-age tale.
Kousei is a brilliantly written
...
protagonist. His struggles with his past, his fear of the piano, and his journey to overcome his trauma feel raw and authentic. As he slowly opens up to the world again through Kaori, his transformation is both subtle and profound. He starts as a broken boy who views the piano as a source of pain and emerges as someone who learns to embrace it as a vessel for emotion and connection.
Kaori is the driving force of the story. Her colorful personality, unorthodox approach to music, and zest for life make her instantly lovable. But beneath her cheerful facade lies a fragility that becomes more apparent as the story progresses. Her struggles are revealed in a way that is heartbreaking but never melodramatic. Kaori’s philosophy of living in the moment is infectious, and her impact on Kousei is unforgettable.
The secondary characters, particularly Kousei’s rivals, friends and mentors, also add richness to the story. They provide different perspectives on music and life, challenging Kousei to grow in unexpected ways.
As a story centered on classical music it excels in its use of classical pieces to convey emotion and character development. The performances are visually stunning and emotionally charged, with each note reflecting the characters inner struggles and triumphs. The music itself becomes a language, a way for the characters to communicate what words cannot.
The animation during these performances is breathtaking, blending realistic depictions of playing instruments with vibrant, abstract visuals that represent the characters’ emotions.
The overall art style is gorgeous, with pastel tones and soft lighting creating a warm, nostalgic atmosphere.
Your Lie in April is an emotional rollercoaster. The series excels at building connections between the characters and the audience, making the emotional moments hit harder. Kaori’s struggles, in particular, are hinted at throughout the series, but when the full truth is revealed, it’s devastating. The ending, while heartbreaking, is also beautifully poetic. It leaves viewers with a sense of closure and hope, showing that even in loss, there is room for growth and new beginnings.
That said, the show can feel emotionally manipulative at times. It leans heavily into its melodramatic moments, which might not resonate with everyone. For most viewers, though, the emotional payoff is worth it, as it feels earned through the characters’ journeys.
Despite its brilliance,it isn’t without its shortcomings. Some of the humor particularly the slapstick moments can feel out of place, detracting from the overall tone. Additionally, while Kousei’s trauma is explored in depth, other characters, like Watari, don’t receive the same level of development.
The pacing in the middle of the series can also feel slightly uneven, with certain episodes dragging as they focus on side plots that don’t add much to the main story. However, these flaws are minor compared to the overall impact of the series.
Final Thoughts
An undiscuted masterpiece of emotion, music, and storytelling. It’s a series that knows how to break your heart while also filling it with beauty and hope. The characters are deeply human, the music is transformative, and the themes of love, loss, and living in the moment resonate long after the final episode.
While it’s not perfect, its flaws are easily overshadowed by its emotional depth and artistic brilliance. It’s the kind of anime that leaves a lasting impression, one that you’ll find yourself revisiting in your mind long after it’s over. For those who enjoy character-driven stories with a blend of tragedy and inspiration:
Your lie in april is a must-watch.
Solid 9/10, great experience.

Glasslip is a disappointing anime that feels like a missed opportunity at every turn and a waste of time. It introduces a potentially intriguing premise with the supernatural element, only to abandon it without any meaningful payoff. The characters are bland and underdeveloped, and the relationships between them lack authenticity, making it hard to care about any of their interactions. The story meanders with little focus, and the pacing drags without building any real tension or emotional depth.
While the animation and art are above average, they’re ultimately wasted on a story that doesn’t come close to being as engaging or thoughtful as it tries to
...
be. Glasslip feels like an experiment that went wrong, leaving viewers with a slow, frustrating experience that promises much and delivers almost nothing. With a rating of 4/10 (just because of the nice soundtrack and animation), Glasslip might be worth watching only for the visuals, but it’s hard to recommend beyond that, even to fans of slice-of-life or romance anime.

I have genuinely mixed feelings about this anime. It’s ambitious, and it deserves credit for trying to portray college life and romance in a way that feels different from the usual high school setting. The story is unique, and some scenes do hit hard emotionally. But at the same time, it struggles with pacing issues, melodrama, and character arcs that feel incomplete or repetitive. The supernatural elements, particularly the "ghost" of Banri's past, sometimes clash with the tone, and the romance, though realistic, can feel frustratingly stuck in a loop of insecurities and misunderstandings.
That said, It has its charm, and despite its flaws, it has
...
a certain emotional pull. It’s the kind of series that’s hard to fully dislike, even if it doesn’t completely deliver. There’s something there the raw emotions, the complex relationships, the exploration of identity and moving on that keeps it interesting. But at the same time, it’s hard to fully embrace, as it feels like it’s constantly on the edge of being great without ever quite getting there.
In the end, Golden Time is a mixed experience. It’s one of those shows where you can appreciate the ideas and ambition, but you might also find yourself wanting something more. For some, its flawed nature might be part of its appeal, capturing the messiness of love and life in a way that’s refreshingly different. For others, it may feel like a series that almost, but not quite, lives up to its potential.

What to say about this anime, it is one of those rare series that manages to blend complex science fiction with emotional depth. Across its main season, sequel movie, and the alternate story, the anime offers a deeply satisfying narrative that expands the bounds of typical time-travel fiction.
At its core, it is a tale of choices,consequences, and the lengths one will go to protect their loved ones. The first season introduces Okabe and his "Future Gadget Lab" members. The show does a fantastic job of creating a slow burn, focusing on the characters’ interactions before gradually plunging them into a harrowing sequence of events. This
...
is classic sci-fi, but Steins makes it feel new by focusing heavily on the psychological and ethical implications of time travel.
What stands out here is how Okabe’s choices to change the timeline out of love, grief, or desperation unravel in devastating ways. Each attempt to save Mayuri or prevent a tragedy ends in another, creating a sense of helplessness that is rare in time-travel narratives. The transition from the lighthearted antics of the lab to Okabe’s grim descent is masterful, as we see how the protagonist becomes mentally and emotionally worn out by the burden of his actions. The payoff is equally powerful as he learns to accept his limits and to sacrifice when needed.
The movie, explores a different kind of struggle. Here, Okabe is haunted by past traumas, forced to abandon his "Mad Scientist" persona and come to terms with Kurisu's death. This season delves deeper into the darker sides of grief, loss, and guilt, as Okabe tries to move forward while remaining emotionally stuck. While this series has a different tone, it complements the original, showing Okabe’s resolve and struggle to become whole again in a world that constantly reminds him of his failure.
The Steins saga’s strength lies in its characters, each of whom feels fully realized and integral to the story. Okabe himself is an exceptional protagonist, he starts as a loud, eccentric character, often masking his insecurities with exaggerated bravado. However, as the story progresses, his quirks and "mad scientist" persona are slowly peeled back, revealing a vulnerable, determined individual. His relationship with Kurisu is one of anime's most nuanced romantic arcs, providing emotional stakes that only grow as the series progresses.Kurisu is a brilliant counter to Okabe's flamboyance. She’s both logical and emotionally reserved, but her caring nature shines through. Their bond is complex, as they push each other to become better, with Kurisu serving as both intellectual and emotional support for Okabe. Mayuri, on the other hand, is a quieter presence who gradually becomes the story’s emotional core. Her innocence and loyalty are poignant, and her fate in the story becomes a moral anchor for Okabe’s journey. Even Daru, with his eccentric humor, plays a vital role, showing loyalty to his friends in crucial moments.The addition of characters like Maho Hiyajo, who shares a connection with Kurisu and becomes Okabe’s confidante, further enriches the narrative. The interactions between Okabe and Maho provide a nuanced exploration of grief and memory, adding depth to the impact Kurisu has left on the story and its characters. One of the most impressive achievements is its grounded approach to science fiction. The mechanics of time travel, based on real theories like John Titor's internet lore and concepts such as the "Butterfly Effect" and "world lines," add a layer of believability to the narrative. Instead of overwhelming viewers with technobabble, the series introduces time travel in a way that feels both complex and accessible. Each consequence of the D-Mail technology feels weighty, as the story explores the philosophical implications of changing past events and the psychological cost of these changes.
In the movie, this expands further with the introduction of the “Amadeus” system. The AI explores questions of identity and memory, blurring the line between living and existing, and it becomes a fascinating extension of Kurisu’s character even in her absence. The series’ art style complements its themes beautifully. The color palette is muted, almost somber, amplifying the gravity of the characters’ actions. From the lively lab to the darkened streets of Akihabara, every setting reflects the emotional state of the protagonist and the intensity of his journey. When we watch the movie we can see the tone becomes noticeably darker, reflecting Okabe’s inner turmoil and the shifting stakes. The animation quality remains consistent throughout, with character expressions and small details enhancing the emotional impact of key scenes.Not just the animation but the soundtrack deserves a special mention. With hauntingly atmospheric tracks and opening themes “Hacking to the Gate” and “Fatima”. The background scores during critical scenes amplify the suspense, loss, and desperation.
In my humble opinion, Steins;Gate has earned its place as a modern classic of anime, not just for its intricate story but for its masterful blend of science fiction, romance, and psychological drama. It appeals to viewers who enjoy mind-fucking stories but crave emotional depth. Its characters are lovable, flawed, and deeply human, and their relationships give the narrative stakes that make each twist and turn resonate.
The series also challenges traditional notions of time-travel fiction, focusing on how small, seemingly insignificant actions can cause irreversible consequences. This is a story about growth, acceptance, and resilience, told through the lens of fantastical science.
In the end, Steins;Gate isn’t just about Okabe’s journey through time, it’s a story about the strength of human connections. It reminds us that, despite the ability to rewrite history, some losses and lessons are essential for personal growth. For those willing to dive into a complex and rewarding anime, Steins;Gate remains my unforgettable experience.
