This anime needs more weight. I get it, hopelessness, feeling empty, can't get over first love. Yeah, this movie clearly depicts them all. The problem is, is this really the way it should be executed?
It has a lot of potential, even cliche, sad love stories can turn into something that just tugs your heart. This movie failed to do it for me. Let's see.
Story - 5
- the first episode is nice. main reason for that is you can clearly see how the characters introduce themselves. there's effort, there is substance.
- Honestly? What was the second episode all about? Is it really something that is needed
...
for the plot? Does it contribute anything at all to the story? Maybe I'm just stupid, because I don't understand what's the point of this dragged out episode. It's a pity that the supporting character, Kanae, has more substance than both of the MCs combined.
- Last part, it's nice. Glad to see they both settled things now but the thing is, it's forgettable.
Art - 9
- The animations and art are fantastic. It didn't disappoint. But I cannot really say the same regarding the character art. It is kinda painful to look at, because it really stands out negatively because of how beautiful the background was.
Sound - 8
- Soothing, matches the movie, but forgettable
Character - 2
- It just ticks me off, how the characters were completely wasted. I consider myself as someone who cries buckets on scenes that you were not even supposed to cry. But here, there's nothing. After the first part suddenly the characters became puppets without their own personality.
Enjoyment - 4
- This is actually rather high. During the whole movie, I felt nothing. After the first part, suddenly I feel like I'm only finishing this movie for the sake of finishing it.
OVERALL - 7
All in all, even if this movie didn't live up to my expectations, it is somehow decent I guess. Maybe this is what they really intended for the movie to be like. I didn't feel sad, happy, lonely from this. Just empty, not because of the tragic story it is supposed to portray, but because this anime has no weight at all. because it wasted a lot of potential. because it could be narrated better.
