Hello World

(NOTE: I'm a slice of life fan so I am very particular with emotions. This review is ONLY my perspective.) Okay, the movie is "okay". There are a lot of things to discussed on why I rated it 6 and why I think this could be better if it's a series. First, the phasing is "fine" and the music is "good". It was slightly overloaded with information but you can still keep up with it. I love most of the music, but some are a bit off especially when they're trying to move on to another phase. Second, the characters lack emotions. Now this is very crucial for me since this would bring an overall impression for the whole movie. Although it's easy to read their feelings, it's very hard to empathize with them. In short, there's a "detachment" going on while watching the show. I guess phasing is also one of the factors why I felt like it. But the main factor is they're not just prioritizing their emotions and I would say the movie is overwhelmed with its "sci-fi" element. Third, poor voice acting. This is also one of the factors why I felt so detached with the characters and the story. I just couldn't feel it. There's something wrong with their portrayal and I guess they really didn't just give enough importance to it. With that simple personality the MC have, they could have done more with his voice because it is "generic". Fourth, this is a CG Anime. Now I would say it's not a bad attempt to have it as CG type of a show. The animation and action is actually pretty good. But personally, I'm not just use to watch an anime with a "video game" type of look. I guess there's just that sense of "normalcy" I'm looking for. I'm not saying that it's bad, it's actually a beautiful art and I appreciate how they actually did it because they did explore a different approach on an anime film. Fifth, the unexpected ending was great. I could not tell you the details to avoid spoilers but it surely is mind-blowing. I got a lot of questions while watching the movie like "Who's that lame crow who can talk?", but that ending answered some of them and that scene alone gave justice to the film. Sixth, we all know that quantum theory is a very complex topic. That's why it's very hard to condensed it in tiny bits of information, especially when it should not be the focus of the story. But I guess sci-fi fans has no issue on it at all since the concept was used a lot of times already. I only encountered quantum theory in Marvel and DC films plus the mobile online game that I've kept on playing. With that said, do I lack the knowledge? Or it's just very complex that I should get over with it and have fun watching the movie without giving it a care unless I want to be a scientist? (LOL) Last but not the least, it would be better if this was made as a series. If this was made like 24 episodes long, all the issues that I've stated would probably be solved. Characters with backstories to support their emotions, phasing is way better, and quantum theory is supported with a lot of important information for it to go along with the story. Plus the viewers would appreciate the couple ship more and they should be able to empathize with the characters. I find the concept and story interesting with a lots of drawbacks. This anime movie could go on par with "Your Name" if it was done better. Despite all the issues, the potential of this film could still inspire people in many ways, and that alone is enough for me to be convinced that it is worth watching.

I must've been tripping on acid for the last half of this movie because what the hell was *that*? It's such a shame that the concept wasn't thought out entirely, or at least, not explained correctly; what I saw in the first half was really promising, so I guess I got my hopes up. Okay, well, first I'll start with art and sound because those two things are the only things I can talk about with any degree of ease. The sound was alright; I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of just using songs over scores as background music for big moments, but the music was still fine. The art was awesome, and I wish that I could deny that it was awesome because I hated the CGI on the characters so much, but it was gorgeous. The character designs were good, the backgrounds were bomb, the lighting was beautiful; that being said, the effects were a bit over the top and annoying and, as I said, I detest animation that's primarily CGI based. Not to mention the ten minutes of straight what the hell that made me feel like I had taken hallucinogens. I don't wanna drag on it too much, though, because everything that surrounded the sci-fi stuff-- even if not the sci-fi stuff itself-- was done perfectly. Okay, characters. Not as difficult to talk about as the story, but really where do I begin? There were three characters, and really only two considering Naomi is one person, though they are different from one another so maybe it is three. Whatever. They were... fine? Not really any development beyond the bear bones you needed for the story, and honestly, not a whole lot else either? They had their motivations-- or, at least, Naomi did-- and I understood them, but they were still a bit one-dimensional. Naomi did have a bit of growth for both his real and recorded self by the end, so that was good, but yeah. The discussion of the story is, obviously, what I dread the most about this review. It's concept is simple, but the bones of it still had me hooked in the beginning. I will say I didn't see the twist that comes in the middle, though maybe that's because the plot developments weren't built into the story that well. Everything seemed to happen at a really weird pace, and I suppose that was in an effort to propel the story into the second half where it got... weird. Here's the thing: with the twist the story had, I understand why it went the way it did, but that doesn't mean the execution wasn't badly done. Some parts of it, I understood-- the older Naomi's background, his motives, the steps he took to be where he was. The rest of it was an absolute hot mess. Actually, I'd even say that I understood the plot of the second half-- the problem was that the plot progression and what was happening in the outline of the story made no sense at all. So, sure, I understood what they were telling me was happening but not why those things were written to happen over a potentially better option. The ending, though, actually did make no sense. I didn't understand it; I tried to, it didn't track, and I gave up. In theory, I understand the result of the ending but not the ending itself. Truly, the beginning of this movie was heartwarming and had the potential to be something lovely. I think if the first half of this film were stretched out to be the majority of the length of the film, keeping the tone and subject the same as it was but just elaborating on existing scenes, it would've been a lot more successful. It could've ended with the same twist only done much simpler and shorter and without all the extra bits and characters and combat that the original ending had. Just that little tweak could've made it so much better and a lot more impactful, but unfortunately, what it ended up being was something that felt half-finished. I still enjoyed it for the most part; for about ten minutes in the middle and ten minutes at the end, I was kind of just staring at the screen, but the rest still captivated me. Would I watch it again? Maybe not, but do I feel like I experienced something special? I think I do, yeah. Do with that what you will and decide for yourself. It isn't bad at all, the ending just couldn't quite live up to the setup.

The movie is disappointing and tried to do more and failing in the end. Has it achieved what it wants to set out to do? No. The movie's half-baked, it wanted to tell a love story with a mix of science fiction but in the end, it's just a bog-standard romance anime. The "Science" in the movie could just be replaced by "Magic" and nothing different could have happened. There isn't any world-building and in the end, it just fucks us over by just saying that there McGuffin disappeared into some other dimensions or universes. In conclusion, the movie isn't fun and give it watch to know what I mean.

Note: Minor spoilers. Read at your own discretion Hello World was a movie that was beyond our generation. It sported a deep and intricate plot that pulled at your heartstrings and changed the way you saw life after you saw it. I have not seen a masterpiece of this scale since Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. That's right, Hello World is our generation's Mona Lisa: underappreciated by the masses, but I'm sure future generations will stumble upon this masterwork and question why we could not appreciate it as they do. It was clear that the System was a critique of society as we know it always trying to correct those who deviate back to the norm under all means possible, even via violence. Our hero defeats these preconceived norms against all odds, saves his beloved, but, is it truly that easy? No, twist after turn, Hello World deviates from all that you could predict and becomes something more. It becomes greater than your average movie. It becomes a masterpiece. CGI Bread cushions? Check Turbo-book bludgeons to fight against a thinly veiled society? Check (Knowledge, fuck yeah) Cool CGI effects and an epic bike chase scene? Check A mentor that always has your back? Not always, but fuck yeah. Some scientists say humans can only use 30% of their brain. To fully appreciate it, turn off that 30% and turn on the 70%. This can be facilitated with heavy alcohol consumption followed by several dozen shots of expresso. This is an experience you'll regret if you never embark on it. Note: This movie was so bad that it was good. Cool ass CGI fight scenes and music followed by ridiculous over-the-top and barely coherent plot. 10/10 would recommend.

Visually, Hello World looked great. There was a lot of great shots that looked amazing, and alongside a good soundtrack this movie is definitely worth giving a watch. The animation was alright for the most part but there were moments where the characters movements just looked too unnatural and pulled you out of the immersion. Personally I'm not a fan of the CGI heavy animation style that was used but they did an alright job with it. The overall plot was interesting and kept me entertained throughout the movie, but it was a little mediocre. The main character didn't really have any motivation during the first half of the movie, other than his future self told him to do it so he did. Maybe it was because of the animation style but I didn't feel that the characters were expressive enough. Sure they made a variety of facial expressions but I felt that were lacking a bit in human emotions. The main girl was a bit bland. I understand that shes supposed to be a shy and reserved character but they could have given her a bit more character development. Because of what I felt was very little character development I felt that Naomi falling in love was a bit forced. Very little of the two main characters interactions were shown in full, mostly being shown in montages or very short scenes. This made the love story and character motivation this movies downfall. Overall I would give this movie a 7/10 because it does have some redeeming features and is worth giving a shot if you have some free time and are looking for something to watch.

A really nice confusing story, but makes sense in the end. You'll be asking "How?" a lot throughout, and thinking "What the hell?", and at times this movie plays with your feelings in really weird ways. Well you'll go on this ride, but you won't truly get it until you finish it, and then all the missing puzzle pieces kinda fit into place. You'll either like the explanation for all the weird imagery and plot devices used in this movie, or you'll think it's super lazy and you were expecting this all along. A few shortcomings with the movie is there really aren't a whole lot of notable characters in this story. There are really only 3 characters and a lot of 'extras'. Of the three, Ruri Ichigyou doesn't seem all that fleshed out in my opinion and really serves as a damsel in distress for majority of the plot. ...But that ending tho.

A movie with interesting themes, but ultimately falls short due to its shallow characters and convoluted story. Probably one of the only aime that comes close to being a good 3d work that doesn't look like crap other than Beastars. The backgrounds are very detailed and nicely drawn and one can tell that a lot of work and effort was put into this movie. Characters are shallow and the main driving force behind the character motivations are quite weak or incomprehensible. The main romance has some chemistry, but quite confusing as to why the romance keeps on coming together nor why the character has an obsession towards the love. Ultimately it is an interesting anime and enjoyable to watch, but leaves a unfulfilling emptiness in your stomach.

I've seen this in a couple other reviews, but this really is a movie of two very distinct halves. It's easier for me to review it for each section instead of overall, so that's what I'll do. First half: Story-9, Art-3, sound-5, Character-7, enjoyment-8, Overall-7 Story for the most part at this stage isn't anything special, but the reason why I have it rated at 9 is because the concept of being the main character in just a recording of the real world I think is a really interesting and unique idea. If they had just kept it at this and gone deeper into the moral and existential conversation about this situation, I think this movie could've really been something. I saw loads of the potential and it made me excited to continue the movie. The romance was decent, but where the first half really shines is the simultaneous simplicity and complexity of the idea they introduced. The art is the only part that I think the second half is better for, as this movie is only CGI because of the stuff they decided to do in that half. I came into the movie not knowing it was going to be CGI the whole way through, and I was very unpleasantly surprised once I realised that this was the case. Maybe it's just the fact that I wasn't prepared for it or the fact that I haven't watched much CGI anime, but it did notably impact my enjoyment for the first twenty minutes or so that it took for me to get used to it. The art style itself is fine. I didn't care much for the music. I didn't think the voice acting was anything to write home about. Overall average. The characters do have personality traits and the main character in particular does progress as a person in the first half. His relationships with his future self and his girlfriend are pleasant enough to watch and they do develop relatively naturally. Not bad. Overall, if the story progressed in the direction that the first half seemed to be taking it in, I think I could've liked the movie a lot. Second Half: Story-2, Art-6, Sound-2, Character-3, Enjoyment-2, Overall-a generous 3 The story is haphazard, they add on several layers of ideas and worlds onto their original plot, not a lot makes total sense, to the point where it breaks the immersion and disinterests you. I was very disappointed. The writers must have realised that the story made little sense because the final scene is a total cop-out. Would've made me a little angry if I still cared about the story at that point. Art is average. I understood why they used CGI. I put it at a six because there's a short sequence where the MC is "dying" and the abstract art they use there looks pretty cool. I would've given that an 8 or a 9 on its own. I was not a fan of both the music they used and when they used it. My preference. Voice acting was pretty much the same quality of the first half. Very little meaningful character development or interaction as most of the time is taken up by action or trying to explain the oversaturated new storyline. The only character that really develops in this half is the future MC and even then his arc is not very well flushed-out or developed. Overall it wasn't bad enough to make me stop watching, but only just. My disappointment is immeasurable. Fortunately it's only 1 PM where I am so hopefully I'll be able to salvage my day.

I was excited to watch Hello World – it has some of my favorite themes for any story, through any medium. I mean, what could be better than a love story – overlaid with sci-fi themes and time travel. This story had so much potential. I could have overlooked the inconsistencies, the lack of character development, if there was one element that stood out. One element that would draw the reader in. In some movies, it’s the love story, and we can forgive the story other inconsistencies or less developed areas. In some stories it is the world building that captures you. In others still it is the science behind the world – the exposition of deep philosophical intent. But unfortunately in Hello World, we fall short in every area, with not a single eminent to drive our interest and love we desperately want to give. I felt the writer (Mado Nozaki) didn’t completely buy the story himself. Its like he had some ideas, but something kept him from realizing the narrative’s true potential. He tried to blend stories such as the matrix, inception and closer to the current medium, Stein’s Gate – to bring us something wonderous and thought provoking. Except it fell flat. It felt the ideas were not completely developed and were able to stand a simple reality check. It’s almost as if the story and themes got too big, the science too difficult to explain. The viewer gets lost in trying to find something to connect with and care about. There is so much happening, the focus is lost on what drives the story – the three main characters (if we separate old/young Naomi into two people). I felt the love story was too rushed. I didn’t think the characters had proper, well characterization and motivation. Firstly for young Naomi to grow enough to begin a relationship with Naomi, but secondly – after very little interaction, Naomi devotes ten years of his life and tortures himself just to try and bring Ruri back. I simply wasn’t invested enough in the relationship. And the way Naomi blandly accepts he’s a simulation felt unrealistic and added to the pointlessness of his ‘life’ and my lack of care as to what happened to him. My second main gripe is that Ruri Ichigyou was just a plot device. Her character didn’t develop. She was just there to have things happen to her so Naomi could react. She is cute, and I felt the writer was trying to develop her character, but fell significantly short. She started off cold and aloof, and interesting, but we never got to explore that – or understand why she wanted to change and how or why she was changing. We get no sense of her motivations. Ruri is the a-typical damsel in distress, an object, rather than a person. For this I cannot forgive the writer, no matter how cute the artwork. The science was the aspect of the story that put me off the most. It was like the writer couldn’t bring the concepts together to create a coherent whole. He tried, there was a bit of an explanation, but nothing I was satisfied with. If the science is a motivation, then you need to explain it so I can buy it. It doesn’t have to be a deep and complex explanation, something that sets the rules of the world and gives the characters motivation and a reason for the viewer to care about what is happening. I didn’t buy the science here – in fact the explanation only served to make me care less about the characters, not care more. I didn’t feel like there was enough at stake. Ultimately I believe the elements for a good story were here – but it was let down by some sloppy writing. There was a deep psychological link that could have been explored to give the characters motivation – but sadly, the writers skill or lack of care meant this was not realised. So would I recommend you watch this? Well if you like cute characters and don’t care too much about the story then yeah. If you are looking for anything deeper here – you won’t find it.

print: "Hello World..." print: "I love you..." *ahem* excuse my cringe review intro... Hello world is a sci-fi romance Movie that attempts to break the mold of what many people classify as sci-fi. The heavy theme that this movie was created around makes this movie have a unique feeling. The concepts are mind blowing, and the romance is heart melting. This review was written on the 10th of April 2020. therefore there may be references to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, many people have not been able to watch this movie when it aired because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I highly recommend you buying the blue-ray release to help support the studio who created this wonderful anime during this unfortunate timing. anyways onto the (spoiler free) review: Story 9/10: The story is themed and based around our rapidly growing technological knowledge. Virtual Worlds, simulated worlds, AI... without giving much away, this movie effectively ties each and every one of these aspects together. There are so many unique concepts and ideas in this movie it's crazy. The easter eggs and deep meanings behind many of the small details allows for cool concepts and ideas to be created by the community. This is the first time where I watched a movie and felt that each and every scene had it's very own meaning and purpose for being there. However, the one drawback for trying to be so ambitious is that the viewers can't help but think that there are many untapped potentials and points in the story. The story teases at some interesting concepts and plot points, but never dive deeper into them. This is most likely because of the budget and time schedule, I really hope an OVA or a sequal comes out to cover the untapped potential in the story and setting. (Although I haven't watched the spin-off yet) Art 9/10: Many anime fans are skeptical about fully 3D animes, and rightfully so. Many animes have crappy CGI and bad effects. However I can tell you that Hello World has done a great job with their animation and visual effects. The studio behind Hello World has developed their own unique shaders for this movie, it allows the visuals to be somewhere between normal 2D anime style, and 3D CGI. The animation is fluid, the effects are unique and exhilarating. No problems here, I would have given it a 8/10.... So why is it a 9? It's because they had a *reason* for the art to be in 3D... Intentional or not, in the last minute of the movie where the art turns to complete 2D... sit there and think about it... Sound 10/10: The OST track and sound effects for this movie is outstanding, not a trace of royalty free effects nor music. Perhaps they just masked it real well, but that's definitely a positive for me. The sound is definitely comparable to that of other high quality animovies such as Tenki no Ko or Kimi no Na Wa Character 9/10: What do you expect from characters designed by one of Kyoani's major character designer? The girls are cute, the guys aren't overly cringy. Exactly what you want for a romance movie. (However, I still hate how they keep teasing you about this one character, but nothing ever happens... WHYWHYWHYWHYWH...) Enjoyment 9/10: During this unfortunate pandemic, this movie has definitely taken my mind off many things which I am grateful for. This movie was a blast to watch while I had to stay indoors. I am really thankful for a movie of this caliber to have released their blueray at this time. Overall 9/10: Everything about this movie was exceptional, but the 10/10 deal breaker was definitely the feeling that there were so many untapped plot points and untapped potential. However this isn't the movie's fault, it's already a 90minute long movie with full quality 3D CGI, it's already impressive that they made a movie of this caliber. Do you recommend? I *Highly* recommend this movie. I would like to repeat this again here, PLEASE buy the blueray release of this movie... Many studios who unfortunately had their movies release at an unfortunate time such as Violet Evergarden and Hello World are facing immense losses in revenue due to many countries issuing a 'stay at home' order. Please please please help and support the studios that create anime that you love, because they are going through a tough time too. Stay safe everyone

This anime delivers on every level, offering a truly unique story that stands out in a sea of repetitive plots. The narrative is fresh, deeply engaging, and unfolds in ways you won’t see coming, keeping you hooked from start to finish. The main character is great. The art style and visuals are nothing short of breathtaking. Every frame is crafted with care, and the animation perfectly complements the tone of the story, enhancing both its beauty and its emotional weight. Whether it’s the vibrant action sequences or the quiet, introspective moments, the visuals are consistently stunning. And then there’s the ending—flawlessly executed, emotionally resonant, and deeply fulfilling. 9.5/10 – A rare gem that will stay with you long after it’s over.

This anime is really underrated. A story that revolves around a different version of Naomi, the main protagonist. Explanation: Different Version is basically the same person, but in a different universe. Another core of this anime is Naomi is making another Naomi to be with Naomi's crush. Yea.... this anime is like as puzzle. And there are some moments that would make a person cry. There are some battle scenes as well, it was nice and intense. How they make a Sci -Fi that goes well with romance is really impressive Story: 10/10 Character Design: 11/10 Music: 100/10 The art style are great, knowing that it was made in 2019. I would say that it is a UNIQUE anime and truly worth checking it out

Hello World is anime of Japan only one anime that I like in Japan. Hello World is Sci-Fi anime by combining the story of technology, magic, time travel and love perfectly. The story will show the love of Naomi Katagaki(Hero) in the future. By Naomi Katagaki in the future want to go back in time for help Ruri Ichigyo(Heroine) that by lightning until death. But the happening is not like that because if take Ruri Ichigyo to the future world, Ruri Ichigyo in the present world will be gone forever. Thus allowing Naomi Katagaki in the future to follow to the future world to bring Ruri Ichigyo back. Finally, Naomi Katagaki in the future learns that Ruri Ichigyo from the past he brought is not someone Naomi Katagaki knows, but a lover of Naomi Katagaki from the past, but then the trio have to face the problems he has created. It is the effect of time transiting, being able to defeat the enemy, having to lose Naomi Katagaki. Naomi Katagaki in the future, who can’t make Ruri Ichigyo love, sacrifice himself for the former self and Ruri Ichigyo to love each other. Usually I don’t like to watch anime of Japan. But This anime is only anime that I watch. It also made me cry. This movie is a movie showing Naomi Katagaki’s true love for Ruri Ichigyo. It made me feel that I would someday love someone. It made me feel that one day my loved ones will not be disappointed dear me.

How far would you go to just to spend another few precious moment with someone who you've lost or no longer can hear their voice or see their smile. How much time would you spend to just get one moment, to trade away everything to be with that person even if it's just for a moment. This movie captures the feeling of those who have lost people in their lives. It is a feeling you don't want to experience but one we all will eventually face someday. There is no greater pain then knowing that someone is not there anymore, the emptiness in our heart that we can't fill up. That void in our heart, no matter how much you try to fill it up you will always just feel empty. We cannot recapture moments we lost, what is gone is gone, we can only create new memories, never redo old ones. But what if you can? What if you can have a second chance? Will you take it? I won't exactly call this anime a time travel anime, though it does use the time travel element to it. It presents a pretty unique idea and concept to it. I won't go into spoiler details about what it is exactly and I can't say I understand the ending exactly? I have my guesses on what it is, but I'm not positive enough to put it on paper yet. The romance plot is sweet and it has it's cute moments in it. It gives us enough time to build up to their relationship and have those moments that makes you smile and tear up by the end. What issue did I have mainly with this? I ain't too big of a fan of the CGI. By no means do I think it's horrible but it's just very stiff movement at times. It's not that it's unnoticeable, it's pretty noticeable. But it didn't ruined my watching experience by any means at all. Overall, a sweet and tragic story about how love can drive us to go so far. To just have a moment again and to just to be able to enjoy a moment with someone again is something I would myself trade so many years for. But I don't know, I feel like I will be happy for a moment but feel sad again knowing they don't belong there.... well I'll end before this gets all depressing lol... thanks for reading this far.

First, let me say i very much enjoyed this movie and i think the fact that i didn't expect much played a big part in it. The premise itself did not make much sense because even though it is set up as a sci-fi there is never even an attempt to explain the science behind this. Basically scientists built a supercomputer that has infinite storage and then the recordings stored in it gained sentience and free will. The story as a whole does not make much sense. The MC is likeable but the love interest... like in most of these types does not have a deep character tbh. She likes books, has a stubborn side, struggles to understand her smartphone, and is straightforward. These are character tropes that are shown in a montage and her character is not explored further than that. I loved the music in this one, very well done. Animation was a bit annoying at times but i love the colour palette.

What if you suddenly knew that you're an intangible and fleeting existence in an alternate universe consisting of neuro-quantum data within the boundaries of reality? You exist, yet you don't. Only feelings remain true. This is "Hello World" in a nutshell. A mind-boggling film made for the hopeless romantic. The story sets off in a very common anime setting, but in then near future. As it progresses it'll immediately give off Sword Art Online vibes (an opinion). I wouldn't delve too deep into the "neuro-quantum" aspect of the show due to the fact that it would give away too much of the story, and future viewers quite a huge hint, and predictions might become spoilers. So for this review's sake, let's just say that the plot in itself is quite generic, but also quite original, which might seem like a contradiction, but watching it for yourselves would be a good answer as to why I would describe the entirety of the film as such. Art looks a lot like KyoAni's style, so it's a ten. No arguments, it's a ten. I'm not much of a fan of 3D CGI, but obviously Studio Graphinica didn't overdo it, so I appreciated much of the animation. The sounds and music are beautiful, especially the OST. Personally, I'm a freak for sounds and technicalities involving music, so I dare say that the presentation and usage of sounds and music on the different scenes and situations in the movie were masterful. The characters felt static several times, but the heart was there (I'm just a hopeless romantic *sigh*), so it's a generous seven. I really enjoyed the film, though it feels kind of rushed, like really rushed during the climax/falling action parts, but I' still give it an eight. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My verdict: 8 out of 10 NOTE: Please don't hesitate to watch Hello World even though some people really criticized it badly. Give it a try, it's good!

Worst peace of media I have ever consumed. It's an absolute waste of time, money and your will to live. The story is okay in the first half, but after the main plotline starts to begin (when Naomi enters the "real" world) plotpoints are not longer explained and dialogue gets replaced with useless flashbacks and dreadful CGI cameramovement. All the other characters besides our main characters get no screentime, characterdevelopment or personality traits. The visuals are a joke. During some scene they didn't even boder to draw textures over the bland 3D-modells and the movie looks like a bad version of Counterstrike:Source. The movie looks pretty when it wants to, but the horendes character modells drain every single drop of life and atmosphere out of this movie. Also sometimes there are very questionable colourfilters that make the movie look like an old instagram pic from an 11 year old girl. The soundtrack per se isn't that bad, but way too loud sound effects stops the movie from even being half enjoiable for your ears. The film overall just isn't worth watching. The story is way too overcomplicated and major plotpoints are just forgotten. Some consistent rules for worldbuilding are nowhere seen and stuff seems to happen just because. The characters are the best part even though the dialogues between them are as basic as it gets and you have no emotional attachment to them. The end is wayyy to long and destroys the few good moments the film had.

many people will hate me because of this. BUT I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS TO YOU IF YOUR ARE DUMB LIKE ME. basically, this sci-fi is too much that i literally cried because i can’t understand anything (this is legit. lmao). like bruh. wtf? future, present and past? what the fck just happened to his older self? like bruh i know im dumb but this anime just slapped my face saying “BTCH. YOU ARE DUMB” ToT but yeah. the ending is good. the animation, the songs, and the characters are nice. it’s just that i didn’t enjoyed it because as what i have said earlier, i’m dumb lmao.

Art - It's CGI. The 2D portions are acceptable, the 3D portions are not. Nothing remarkable here. Sound - meh Story - Oh boy, where to start. Minor spoilers ahead. The first half had me quite interested. Only, halfway through it devolves into your typical sci-fi story about time-travel with "quantum" in it. It's just horrible. "Quantum" here is an alias for totally weird, of course. Nothing in the middle makes any sense. And there is honestly nothing deep about it either. It's just a guy about to die suddenly getting a lot of powers. It's cliche and downright cheap. This is the stuff you get when you hold an author at gunpoint and ask them to write a sci-fi story with time-travel in 2 days. Then you have the fight scenes. CGI galore! You have fight scenes involving someone swinging around a book-on-a-chain(yeah, really), you have people jumping on cinnamon buns ... you get the idea. I wouldn't complain if this was something from Mario, but seriously, I cannot find any redeeming point about the fight scenes. Characters - Now these are actually good. Only, they get stuck in a story that is an utter mess. I feel bad for them, really. I can't recommend this movie to anyone. There is plenty of good science fiction around - read/watch that instead of this.

Did they lose the director and screenwriter halfway through, or run out of time? The visuals look nice tho? The first half of the movie is a nice and average sci-fi romance. The man&boy get most of the character development but the girl is nice. The second half tries to undo all the good work of the first half, mostly in a screaming mess, but nice end. I wasn't confused in what was happening, I understood the whole plot presented, but it was still incomprehensible in that it wasn't possible humans would behave his way. For example, the love interest girl becomes an object to carry around and protect, and has barely anything to say or reflect upon the OTT action going on around her. Some of the character's perspectives also do a 180 with only bare moments of anguish followed by instant acceptance. Across the whole movie there are also characters that appear to be made relevant, but turn out to be not at all.
