FYI: This is my first ever anime review so there might be some stuff I miss out. Firstly, the story is interesting and refreshing. It is not something as generic as weathering with you or Your name. Reading some reviews which have mixed ratings for the ending, I would say it is deeper and require deep understanding. Just note that it requires overthinking to understand the ending and not just with the "oh". I'll divide the art into 2. The artwork itself is beautiful. The way they draw the characters are clear and the contrast works with the Sci-Fi genre. However, the animation or 3Danimation felt very rush. They way they ran, the way it was animated felt odd.

It is a very subjective matter. In my opinion, I have been spamming the song a lot even before I watched the movie. It suits my taste and it just moves to the groove. Though maybe there is 1 song that I didn't like, however it felt like the genre is just right for the moment.

The character design, on the other hand, is unique. The male and female MC could've improved a little bit since the voicing felt a bit off from the animation and the situation voice felt weird at times. There is Rie Kugimiya but.. as expected from her I guess. (FYI: when her voice appeared, the fanboy in me... let's not continue with that). The character's portrayal is interesting and the way they showed the adult version and young version with their views and struggles are definitely a plus point.

Also, for those who reviewed as steins;gate carbon copy or time travel genre, it is not and from the start, it was never meant to be a carbon copy. So, please stop with the "time travel" cause it clearly wasn't meant as an actual time travel anime.

Overall, I enjoyed it even more so than weathering with you(I watched it twice in the cinema). Some parts felt like they were rushed due to deadlines but the story was covered pretty well and they did not really leave out much details for the audience to overthink it.
Though the ending does gives you the need to over assume how and why it happened.
