Because of all the flashbacks, it was a bit difficult to separate the friends from a year ago to the modern day. The characters.I do have a bit of a gripe with the characterization. The instrumental musical backgrounds serve their purpose to enhance the more dramatic scenes. I don't remember being as in love with this soundtrack as I was with the original anime, but it was certainly something. The backgrounds are gorgeous but the characters are relatable. It's a perfect mix of whimsical and realistic. I've always been enamored by Mari Okada's art style.
#Watch anohana movie english dub movie#
It should give enough information to catch people up, sure, but it shouldn't dominant the entire film with old content, leaving viewers wondering why they're even watching this movie in the first place. I'm not sure that's how a movie should work. It sounds beautiful, right? And it should have been, but the issue is that there were so many unnecessary flashbacks that took up maybe 70% of the movie that I forgot I was watching a movie that was supposed to stand alone and instead just watching a recap of the anime.Īs I've seen AnoHana, I was able to keep up but I imagine this would be insanely confusing for people who haven't seen the original anime. Now, a year later, they're meeting again in Menma's name and have rekindled their friendship. Over the course of that experience, which was the original anime, they are able to help Menma move onto the afterlife. The story follows five friends who, a year prior, were visited by their dead friend, Menma. However, I was left feeling wanting after this had ended. I'm also a huge fan of the writer and had just finished Maquia, which was an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. After falling in love with the anime series, I went into this movie with reasonable expectations. Well, I have to say I was pretty disappointed with this movie. *mild spoilers for the anime (not the movie) I definitely recommend you watch the anime first. The actual new content in this movie isn't bad and I prefer the movie's ending over the anime, but the goodness of it is spoiled by how long this movie was dragged out by old content. If you really want to watch this movie, either watch it after not having seen the anime for awhile, or just skip over all of the flashbacks. I mean, I watched the entire anime in about two days, and then watched this movie less than twenty-four hours after finishing said anime. There was so much old content that I was bored out of my mind. The new flashbacks presented added a little more depth/meaning to the very end of the anime, I thought, and the very end of this movie was a little more hopeful than the anime's end, but. Ten percent of the movie actually took place in the present.
Ten percent were flashbacks that we didnt see in the anime.
Eighty percent of the movie was flashbacks from the anime (as the movie takes place a year later). And to top it all, he has to work with a Giftia named Isla whose work in the past few years was only preparing tea for her co-workers.Okay, can I just say how BORING this movie was? I have a hard time quitting things after I've started, or I probably would have stopped watching this.
The work - it’s to retrieve Giftias that are nearing their expiration date. Tsukasa Mizukagi just applied for work at SAI Corporation’s Terminal Service through his father’s connections. And so, the Terminal Service comes into action! Not only does this cause problems when sad farewells are expected, but Giftias are also prone to abrupt personality changes, memory loss, and violent outbreaks as they reach their expiration dates. There’s only one problem with Giftias - they only have a limited lifespan! It’s 81,920 hours (9 years and 4 months) to be exact. By and large, Giftias are creations which are the nearest to what human beings are. They look exactly like humans and have feelings and personalities that match their features. In the distant future, androids called “Giftia” roam the world as companions to mankind.
