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

Story: Mirai-hen picks up from the ending of Kako-hen. A new supernatural force arises and threatens to break the tenuous relationship between Kanbara Akihito and an amnesic Kuriyama Mirai. It's a good story, but like the series of the anime there were a few questions that went unanswered. Art: Amazing as always, from the bright and colorful backdrops to the details of the character's eyes. Sound: I noticed that the artist for the ending song was also used for the opening song of the original Kyoukai no Kanata. In this perspective, the show has come full circle ! Character: Overall, the characters haven't changed much. The circumstancesin the story have made them more dramatic and solemn, but Kuriyama Mirai is still a bit of a klutz, Kanbara Akihito is still a glasses fanatic, Hiromi is still spoiling his little sister, and Mitsuki is still tired of her brother's sister complex (for the most part).

Enjoyment: Due to Mirai-hen being a movie, and therefore not having as long a duration as a 12-episode season, the brilliant comedic relief from before is replaced with a lot of drama and tears, but that's to be expected of the story. The lack of humor is made of for in resolved issues, fortified feelings/affections, and returned camaraderie.
