Seišun buta jaró wa jume - Miru šódžo no jume o minai

What can I say? Well, first of all, this is a very powerful movie! The movie’s makers have managed to portray emotions perfectly, and help the audience get really immersed in the whole of the movie. It is interesting how little it takes sometimes... For example, just that in one typical scene they actually skip the traditional dramatic slowdown and just serve up what happens as a punch in the audience’s face. At other times, the scenes can transition seamlessly from one mood to another, however, it is still done in such a way that it fits perfectly with the character's motivation and the logic of the moment. This sudden change of atmosphere again actually leaves a much stronger impression than if they had built up a sad and dramatic scene several minutes in advance…  In other words, everything works really well, and once again after a really long time, I had to hold back the tears and spend a good part of the movie going crazy with impatience regarding how it was all going to turn out. Just like the anime series, this movie is also very sophisticated and if the anime series reminded you of the best of the Monogatari anime series mixed with a twist like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, then definitely add some Steins;Gate here to finish up the cocktail! I think it still holds together and is still similarly great and I did not get bored for a minute. Sure, I could start looking for its various shortcomings, dealing with the paradoxes and analyzing the various aspects of all the phenomena in the movie, and whether I got it all right (it is not quite that straightforward after all). However, even that would not be able to overcome the intensity of the effect this movie had on me. The characters are excellent, the narrative is very strong, and the animation and soundtrack are also very good - I do not think I have anything else I need to say here - 9.7/10. (30.11.2019)
