Takt Op. Destiny (2021)

This anime is not bad, not great

[8/10 · 23 December 2021]

The great things about this anime are beautiful character design and animations (although they're awkward in several episodes) and the music. They are attractive enough to keep me watching until the end.

The bad things about this anime properly are the storytelling and mediocre plot. The three last episodes was a bit too hazy and I could not really understand what's was really going on. Some stories and mysteries has not yet been solved, for example, the death of Takt's father. There was hardly any development in characters and the villains were not proved to be dangerous. And the ending did not make up for any of them :)

I rate this 8/10 'cause I truly love the opening song and the character design and some fighting scenes :))

RDG: Red Data Girl (2013– )

The ending could be better

[8/10 · 2 August 2021]

The whole show was clear, easily-understanding and many people might get absorbed in it.

The drawing, animation, music are great.

The plot was sometimes developed vaguely and some details may be unnecessary. The romantic spirits were not fully developed, leading to a dissatisfied and unclear ending.

I recommend this show, but I do not suggest people get absorbed into it, because the ending will surely let you down.

Over the Sky (2020)

Similar vibe as Kimi no Nawa, love this!

[8/10 · 24 July 2021]

I truly love the movie and had no idea why this is so underestimated. The color, background music, animation and all the other features were made beautifully.

There are SO MANY plot twists, I cannot predict at all what would happen to Mio, there were too many blocks, you did a great job, Mio.

Watching this movie gave me the same feeling as watching "your name.". The main character, Mio, forgot her feelings for Arata and what she wanna do, she concealed her true feeling towards people.

What I do not like about Kimi wa kanata is that the movie was quite short and all the details were pushed very fast. If they had concentrated more on Mio's feelings, cut several plot twists (w), then the movie would be perfected.

To conclude, this movie is a must-watch (these years there are so many must-see romance anime movies).

Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop (2020)

This is great ( Words fail me)

[10/10 · 24 July 2021]

Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop had a terrible trailer I can say. It showed the whole movie. If only they had cut several parts and the movie would have been harder to predict.

There are no plot twists if you pay attention to every detail.

However, I rate this 10 as it brightens my day. The movie describes the happening world (without COVID w) with communication breakdown, which I found sympathetic as a teenager. This movie is really colorful (and it's a bit weird), making it really appropriate for summer.

In total, I highly recommend this movie~!

Love Me, Love Me Not (II) (2020)

So Shoujo-ish, love this.

[9/10 · 4 July 2021]

"Love me, love me not" seems to be one of the best shoujo mangas and anime movies. Love affairs, childhood friends, ex-boyfriend, one-sided love,.. everything is perfect for a shoujo lover like me.

However, there are not many plot twists, as a 12-vol manga is a bit hard to be adapted to the big screen in less than 3 hours (or even 2). So many details have been cut, making this movie a bit nonsense and everything seems to be too easy to solve, the love affairs turn out to be what connects everything, instead of tangling. However, I love shoujo and the romantic spirits of this movie, I rate it 9.

Hello World (2019)

This is a bit overrated.

[8/10 · 4 July 2021]

The story remains nothing in me, the plot was too easy to be predicted, there are not many impactful plot twists. Sci-Fi lovers may love this, but I am more a supernatural lover, I cannot count how many times I yawned while watching Hello World. What is more, the romantic details have been pushed too far, they have destroyed the whole world for the girl they have just met.

There is something I really concerned. The come-from-2027 one met her by chance, but the present main character met her by an instruction. I think this complicated content made me want to rate it 8.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War (2019)

I am not in a habit of watching live-action!!!

[1/10 · 12 August 2020]

Hardly did you watch the anime ver. than you watched just the trailer of this... disgusting! Everything from the anime, they brought the the live-action. Yes, they have done their job well, but, in terms of anime is too BAD! They should have changed a little bit to make the film more nature!

Everything is so boring as another live-action! Why don't they just consider more about why a lot of people (E.G: ME) hate their live-action that much!

If you are in mood for a live-action, come and watch it! But I recommend watching the anime ver. first then you may have second thought - turn a blind eye to the live-action or still want to watch it! It's up to you!

Tamako Love Story (2014)

Better than Market.

[10/10 · 1 August 2020]

If you have watched Tamako Market, you may notice that most characters may have their own episode, er, except for Mochizou. But with Tamako Love Story, know you can understand more about Mochizou x Tamako's childhoods, how each other grew on them! A must - watch movie!

A Whisker Away (2020)

Never watched a better movie!!!

[10/10 · 22 June 2020]

Firstly, the first-1h of AWW is very unique and emotional. The story has been told perfectly and all details were really clear. You can't predict what will happen to the main characters as the psychological details are a bit complicated. Sometimes, you may think everything went too fast and wrong but just be comfortable, "take a shallow breath" (a lyric from the theme song), and you'll find this film amazing, I'm sure!

Secondly, the music is awesome. The theme song "Ghost In A Flower" has special rhythm and you may addict to it. Morever, "Usotsuki" is a materpiece! The meaning of the song is just nearly as same as the description about Miyo Sasaki - depressed and telling lies to make fun and pretended to be happy!

Thirdly, the characters' feelings have been made thoroughly and the drawing x vision are perfect. If you have watched the first movie of Studio Colorido, you may find the same drawing. Noone can deny that any smallest details were made carelessly! Maybe there's some small mistakes, but I can find any, though.

Finally, AWW has a happy ending. This makes me feel absolutely comfortable, but I think this is awesome a uhm, how say, a negative point of the movie. It's too easy to predict through the main song - which has come out sooner than the movie and futhermore, if the ending part was made to be a little bit tougher to the 3 main characters, the movie may be a masterpiece!

I Want to Eat Your Pancreas (2018)

It's simple and unique. A must-watch.

[10/10 · 14 June 2020]

All of you may notice this kind of film: a lonely and friendless guy met a active girl and became more active. And I want to eat your pancreas is that kind of film.

But it is also unique. The active girl's actually not very active. Sakura is always scared. Of her illness. She has only little time left. But none of her classmates knows about this. Except for him. Mr. Typical Classmate. His name is "me" and his name is only said at the end of the film(Haruki means spring while Sakura means blossom). He accidentally read her "Living with Dying". Then he started his journey with Sakura.

When Haruki relized the importance of Sakura with him, she suddenly died. Haruki was shocked and locked himself in his room. Then, he decided to read her diary and knew everything about Sakura and her feeling for him.

The unique of I want to eat your pancreas is that Haruki is not actually became more active because of Sakura's activity or her death but his mind change as he cared more about Sakura.

In my opinion, this is a must-watch and an significant film. Don't forget to buy I want to eat your pancreas novel(Sumino Yoru). Thanks for reading.

Fireworks (2017)

A beautiful story

[10/10 · 14 June 2020]

Many people may find this film so confusing and boring. But in my opinion, it is so pretty. The story is about Nazuna - a beautiful and lonely girl and Norimichi - a brave boy. The both love each other. Unfortunately, they had to break up as Nazuna moved to another city because of her mother's third marrige. Also, Uchiage hanabi... is a must-watch if you love Your name.(2016) because it contains many time travel details. Uchiage hanabi... has an opening ending: Norimichi's absent from class in order to find Nazuna.
