Maybe I'm just at a low point or maybe I just overreacted, but this was one of 3 shows that have made me cry, ever. The first being Clannad and the second being (also) Clannad. Not since then has a show made me cry, sure I have had tears welled up or maybe even felt it coming, but never actually crying. That is all the praise I need to give this show to feel satisfied with it, it was just that fulfilling, the way fate is so cruel and yet gives so many second chances reminds me of my own life and how I've never ... been able to use that second chance.

While I wouldn't consider this quite as abysmal as Kiss x Sis, I would say that this is almost as bad regarding character, there isn't any development, there are no real plot twists, there is an incredibly predictable story, there is no reason to hope for a different outcome, there is by far the most unsatisfying dumpster fire of a fucking ending I have ever seen, and everything just feels so rushed to meet a budget that could have been completely avoided if there was a passion to making it rather than just trying to cash in on a quick few dollars. Who the actual ... fuck in their right mind tries to avoid a situation where they have been asked to marry someone by saying "HuRr DuRr YeAh LeT's MaRrY bUt We GoTtA kIsS fIrSt!!!"??? I saw the rating, yet I was still quite excited going into this show due to the premises of almost unlimited potential for character, outfit, and weapon designs, and what do I get? A depressing sack of shit with no reason to complete it other than to give it a chance at redemption.

I have to admit, I went into this movie with low expectations after even procrastinating for an entire week because I thought it wouldn't be worth the watch as soon as I noticed it was 3D. Boy was I wrong, I never imagined that one of the best movies I would ever watch would be a 3D OR romance film, yet here it was, both at the same time, and yet I can say with certainty that in my personal opinion, this is the best movie I have ever watched.
... The world created was charming in the way that you know as little about it as we know our own world, and yet terrifying for that very same reason since we would never know which "reality" is the original. The characters make understandable choices for the most part and the romance theme is very heavily represented by 10 years of waiting just to see your loved one smile again.
The sounds felt amazing and the music during the final stretch almost reminded me of a personal favorite, Camellia. As for if I enjoyed this movie, of course I did. I think that the true charm of this story is held within the fact that it gives itself an actual infinite amount of futures, the fan could imagine a continuation in any way they wanted to, and it wouldn't be wrong or right, rather it would be every possibility since it will likely never be observed.
The things in this movie, while not all possible, are theoretically much closer than they may appear to be, and I really appreciate that. I don't always enjoy it when impossible things happen in a movie, as it can ruin my immersion, but I was immersed in this story to the very end, as a movie should strive for.
Overall, I doubt that I will ever enjoy a movie as much as this one again, as it's been an extremely long time since anything, much less a movie, has left that warm feeling of satisfaction with me, and I wish to feel it again, because now I see just how great a feeling I have been missing out on this entire time.

They ate pocky therefore this is a solid 10.1/10.
Pocky is a very popular treat in Japan, especially among teenagers.[citation needed] In bars, it is sometimes served with a glass of ice water or milk [3] It also has a significant presence in other Asian countries, such as China, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Burma, Brunei and Vietnam.[4] In Malaysia, Pocky was sold under the name "Rocky" for four decades. In 2014 it was rebranded under the name "Pocky" with a new package design and slogan. Commercials featuring Malaysian singer Yuna, also began to air in 2015 in ... order to give brand recognition and a sales boost.[5][6]

In Europe Pocky is produced under license by Mondelēz International and sold under the name "Mikado" in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.[7] "Mikado" can be found at most supermarkets[citation needed] and many international food stores.

In the United States and Canada, Pocky can be found in Asian supermarkets and the international section of most large supermarkets; such retailers include World Market, H-E-B, Wegmans, Kroger, Jungle Jim's International Market, Costco, Walmart (in the Asian foods aisle), some Target stores, some Walgreens, Meijer, Fiesta, and anime convention dealers' rooms. In the United States, Pocky is marketed both by LU (in chocolate and peanut butter flavors), and by Ezaki Glico's American division, Ezaki Glico USA Corporation (in chocolate and strawberry flavors).

In Australia and New Zealand, it is usually sold in Asian convenience markets, along with other Asian foods and products. Like the United States and Canada these are also widely available in the international sections on the Asian food aisles of most large supermarket chains. Specialty importers also exist in Australia and New Zealand.

I am genuinely surprised at the fact that I was able to watch even 3 episodes of this piece of burning shit on a stick in hell. I don't know whether to hate the parents or the children more because both are equally at fault and should not have existed in the first place. The only reason I was able to last watching this show so long is because I muted the god damn thing and turned on the Mario Sunshine title theme on a loop. At least Domestic Na Kanojo had some realistic and humanized factors in the beginning. (Not counting the sex)
