(I really don't want to write a long review here, I'm just writing because I felt like I need to say something about this two-part OVAs)

It would be quite fucked up for me if I said that I loved everything about it except for the story and rate it 7, and I'll.

Jokes aside, I don't want to focus on the bad sides, seriously. I didn't expected those to be masterpieces and the stories worked fairly well considering the short runtime. I mean, the best shonen of all time just came back from the dead after 20 years for two, not one, but two specials. This ... is not something you see everyday and I'm really glad this happened.

The animation looks gorgeous, fluid and colorful. Hearing all those characters again feels really lovely. The joy on the cast's voices are undeniable.

And of course, the best aspect: the soundtrack. They kept the same soundtrack from the anime and that just killed me. It felt incredibly good to hear all those tracks again.

They tried really hard for a fan service but you know what? This is the first time that I don't give a flying fuck about that. I loved those really on your nose induced nostalgia trips, specially the fight in All or Nothing.

Whatever, I liked it.

I'm not a good writer.
Yeah, this is not a good way to start a review, but I don't care - I'm actually quite postive that this is going to get lost in between all the other thousand reviews around here. My english is also not that good - it's not my main language - , but I try my best.
You're - If there's someone other than me reading this - probably wondering: "What the hell does it have to do with Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome?"
Well, it's quite simple: It's about trying your best.

We have a black-haired girl walking on and letting life lead her ... way. And then there is this boy. He tries his best to talk to her so keeps stalking her and doing what would look like "coincidences" - Even though he sucks at doing this. And this is it, that's what the movie is about. It's an overly used formula - There were so many things that could go wrong here, and none of them did. Masaaki Yuasa created one of the most ambitious animations I've ever watched keeping everything as simple as possible. From the animation to the music, but, funnily enough, it feels complex. Everything fits, nothing feels unnecessary. And I want to go into all the details, so let's go by sections:

1. Animation
The animation is one of the strongest points of the movie. Psychedelic, chaotic, colorful and addictive. Incredibly addictive.
The non-stop frenetic vibe throughout the whole movie fits perfectly into the animation's atmosphere, with its complex angles, eye-catching cinematography and smooth movements. Also, I can't forget to talk about the beautiful backgrounds and the overall setting, they're just as important and as vivid as the character's animations. I think it's complicated to describe and review it, so I recommend you to see it for yourself, and if you have, you know that I'm right. But I'm not that surprised, since it's the original Yojōhan Shinwa Taikei team. I don't have much else to talk about it, because of spoilers, but be prepared for a flash flood of 24 flamboyant frames per second.

2. Plot
The plot is as always - if you compare it to Yuasa's older works - , straightforward, with a simple objective but with a monstruous combination of everything possible, creating an incredibly captivating mess. Makoto Ueda created a consistent combination of drama, comedy and romance - something that it's incredibly rare to happen these days. I haven't read the novel - wirtten by Tomohiko Morimi - , so I can't talk about it or make comparisons. I would like to talk about the characters here, but I think it would be more fitting to write it on the next section, since it's probably the most important part of the whole movie.

3. Characters
The characters are my favorite part about this movie. Every single one of them have an incredibly focused background, it feels like you're walking and living all this mess with the black-haired girl. They feel real, I could relate to every single character - even the most absurd ones like Jōgasaki.
Senpai's character is the most detailed one, filled with doubt, love and weird unnamed desires - his head is so tumultuous that if it had caught fire in the middle of the movie I wouldn't have been surprised. I would've loved to go into details with him but I don't want to spoil anything, so let's just jump to the second character I want to talk about that it's obviously kurokami no otome - also known as the black-haired girl. She's the complete opposite of him, and as the title suggests, she is always walking forward. Her optimistic way of thinking is contagious.
Even though my favorite character didn't appear, we have a substitute for him, Furuhonichi no kamisama - that would be something like God of the used books. He may not be as interesting and as deep as Ozu but he sure as hell feels like him enough to fill the gap.
I'm not going into detail about the other characters because that would make this review turn into a term paper. So let's just go to the next section.

4. Sound
Starting with the soundtrack, I have only watched it once, so I can't really point out exactly the good and bad points of it. It isn't huge, and the right songs plays at the right moments. There are some particular moment that has some events related to music and I hope that they release a soundtrack with these in it. The sounds overall are good, nothing unnecessary or unfitting. It flows well with the movie.

½. Full Square
Well, this is where I basically make a conclusion. This movie, in my opinion, feels like a 93 minutes dream. It's filled with familiar faces and they are true to what made them be who they were on Yojōhan Shinwa Taikei. The fast paced and always changing mood is also another already seen theme but it's presented in a different way, more open hearted and romantic. Another really important fact to notice is that the romance doesn't ruin the movie's pace, it's actually the base of the food chain, without it, the movie would crumble.
I've noticed some complaints about the way how this movie deals with certain events and I've got to disagree on them. I really don't want to go into details, but in my opinion, the movie would feel completely shallow without its charming "full character's background in three lines" moments and the really absurd way of telling the story. The chaos is what makes this movie what it is.
I wouldn't recommend this everyone, it follows the same style as Yojōhan Shinwa Taikei, and if you're familiar with Yuasa's works: Don't be in doubt, watch this as soon as you can. If you're curious about what it is about, feel free to watch it - And if you like it, spread the word to people you know that will like. I don't recommend it to people who doesn't like things with a """experimental""" vibe. The free-shaped characters animation, 50 lines in 10 seconds narrative and surrealism will make some people go flaccid in a matter of seconds. Either way, I hope you have as much fun as I had watching this and I'm pretty sure that this will become a 10/10 someday - it's just a matter of time. And rewatches (And if you have watched it, I hope you liked). I'll finish this review here, because the night is too short for you to waste your time reading this - That if, anyone reads this at all.
