Touch: Miss Lonely Yesterday - Are kara, Kimi wa... · review
If you finished Touch! you definitely need to watch this and the sequel Cross Road (Kaze no Yukue) as they are honestly the true endings to the show and help clear up the fairly ambiguous ending to the original series. I'm gonna start off with saying that if you were expecting a lot of baseball in this you will be a LITTLE disappointed as Tatsuya doesn't so much as enter the field (except flashbacks to the koshien games) for plot reasons, BUT, this is honestly fine as it's explained in the movie why he stops playing baseball (don't get too upset, the sequel movie is 80%baseball and makes up for this). To make up for this you do get some updates on the Nitta's and Nishimura and even get to see Nishimura play pro league.
The story is mostly centered around Tatsuya and Minami having some struggles in their relationship as we all know by now is caused by their shared stubbornness with basic communication skills. You get updates on a lot of side characters thankfully, Harada especially gets a glow up. There is one new character who is fairly interesting but kind of falls flat as she is basically just a plot device, albeit a fairly good one. I don't want to spoil it at all but I will also warn that the pacing is a little lacking, I put this note in my review of Cross Road but these movies really seem more fit to be actual sequel seasons as they have enough content to be stretched out to probably 13 episodes per movie/plotline.
All in all if you thought Touch! was even a 6/10 it would not at all be a waste of time to check out both of these movies as they only add to the general story and give you some more of what made Touch! special. Just keep in mind the stories for both movies do go by quickly and don't allow for much development outside of pre-established characters.
