Review of Beyond the Boundary: I'll Be Here - Future

Because Kyoukai no Kanata (TV) was great and the community rating was high (8.34 for the moment), I was kind of expecting an awesome movie as the sequel of this great series... but it wasn't. I won't spoil anything because it's useless to describe how I felt in front of this film. I rated it 7 out of 10 because the art and sound are really good. But the rest was JUST ok, which is kind of a big insult for a series like Kyoukai no Kanata. You wanted fancy creatures, a great story, a good scenario, nice characters... you had them in the series. The filmis kind of just copying the image of the series and put it on the screen. But they forgot to make anything else. No tension, the scenario isn't there. You see characters you want to see. They fight and THAT'S IT!!!!

I'm sorry but this movie was slow, a bit boring, lacking at plot. There was a scenario, but after seeing the movie, I just think that this scenario was just an excuse to make an OVA for the Kyoukai no Kanata series. It takes place one year after the end of the series BUT you don't feel it. You don't feel the characters anymore, you don't feel the tension of the darkness hidden behind a good scenario. This film is a bad sequel because it's TOO NORMAL, it doesn't move at all. There is maybe 30 min of real useful content in this movie.

So my conclusion is, this sequel is beautiful, but it's nothing MORE, it's normal, it's boring, it's slow. 普通, totally normal so it wasn't interesting at all. Watching the series again is probably more enjoyable than watching this movie for the first time.

7/10 is really just because the esthetics were great and it was a bit entertaining. But don't watch this movie if you want a sequel to Kyoukai no Kanata, it's NOT A SEQUEL, there is just a LITTLE content in it. You have more content and plot in ONE or TWO episodes of the series than in 1h30 of the movie.
