Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare

Pretty average anime romance movie with a little twist, but wan't interesting enough to make me engrossed in it. The animation is pretty standard but the character design of the main leads are overly simple making them feel very bland and they have very little personality.I also kinda thought that the character development didn't go smoothly. the characters falling in love felt a little awkward because the plot had many holes and didn't bother to make the characters likable. However the good thing I like about this anime is although there were countless potholes that made the viewer(me) not love the characters I did love that the ending was neatly done without exaggeration. the movie overall was pretty decent, I liked the soundtracks and thought that the initial premise of how the fl friendship developed was splendid. After saying all that , I would recommend you give it a watch because its decent and I do know its adopted from a manga , so would recommend to read the manga and watch the anime after :-)

Love Me, Love Me Not was dull and the love quadruple never got interesting. The only positive thing this movie had was it's animation done by A-1 Pictures. The story started decently, but it felt very rushed and the characters were forcibly developed without even displaying an emotional connection between them. Maybe, if the runtime was extended by 30 minutes or so, the movie would have made a bit better sense. It's nothing new and nothing special, we have seen number of romance movies in the past and it doesn't even felt like there was an romantic connection. After the first half, the characters were all over the place and the story got rushed and messed up. To summarise, Love Me, Love Me Not can be skipped, even though it has a beautiful animation. The reason being the lack of character development and connection between the leads along with rushed second half that messes up the movie as a whole. GOOD • Animation by A-1 Pictures, the characters were sharp BAD • Rushed 2nd half • No character development • No connection factor between the leads MY RATING : 4/10

I'm sorry if this comes off biased but I was really excited for the movie because I love the manga and tbh it was a big disappointment. It's mainly due to the fact that this manga is around 10 volumes and they shoved that into a short movie. There are so many scenes that are cut out in order to fit its length. A huge portion of Akari's past and therefore her growth as a character is cut out. Yuna and Rios christmas date is totally missing. There are giant chunks of interactions between Yuna and Akari and Rio and Kazu that show their friendship that are just gone now. These are all significant things that happened in the manga that made the story so special. Without it, the story is just missing that special spark. Even if you didn't read the manga, I think this movie is just average. The most important part of stories like this are that they are character driven. There is such a big change in development that these characters that have such charm and sweetness in the manga feel like they fall flat in this movie. Overall, the movie was still enjoyable and if you're looking for a simple cute romance anime then this still is a good option. I think this movie would've been much better suited as a one season anime though. Tldr: Read the manga if you even remotely enjoyed the movie. It is a million times better.
