My basis of ratings :
- 10/10 -> Masterpiece with high re-watch value for me
- 9/10 -> Masterpiece.
- 8/10 -> Great one but misses on aspects that appeals to me.
- 7/10 -> Had potential but lapses in certain departments
- 6/10 -> Not great, not bad either.
- 5/10 -> Meh
- (1-4)/10 -> Waste of time.
Rating based only on the storyline and engagement.
Nvm my favourite character list...Longer the anime, more the favoritism.

Been nice talking to you ^^
(I took several lines or paragraphs from the article and I’ll try to explain why the article doesn’t convince me. You can also feel free to skip all this if you’re too lazy or don’t care to read my reasoning, I’m not trying to change your opinion, I’ll resume it at the end xD)
After this huge wall of text, whether you have read it or not, I can reach the conclusion that the article was as superficial as the movie itself which doesn’t exactly help me change my idea. They delve but do not dig. And if you have read my wall of text you might have realized, but I’m going to still say it, that I didn’t dislike the movie for not understanding it, I find it fine/okay BECAUSE I understood it. And again, it’s not like I didn’t like this movie, I can see there was a lot of effort and detail put into it; I just find it average and, yes, after this article, I now find it also overly pretentious and overly ambitious for all the other issues that it brought to the table. I just don’t think it deserves the myriad of 10s exactly for the reasons brought above !
What is to love here, without overthinking it, and what most people love about it is the "idea", the concept, which is entirely subjective. The idea of star crossed lovers just works and I'd lie if I said dramatical and impossible stuff don't touch me, but in this case I just couldn't because it expected me to nod along way too much. I wanted to like it, I usually like this genre, my love for Jun Maeda should say it all, but there are times when it works and times when it doesn’t.
However, thank you for the analysis and the nice comment despite not agreeing with eachother. ^^ it is rare to meet people like you.
