Review of Hello World

I had a couple of "What the fuck is this shit" moments during my watch but it ended up as "What the actual fuck is this shit". Story 5/10 So the story takes place in Kyoto of 2027 where technology has fairly advanced, portraying the life of a socially awkward book-loving boy Naomi Katagaki and a book loving-girl named Ruri Ichigyou who has a cold personality. It's all good till this part. So, this boy one day gets to meet his future self who came from 10 years later to meet his past self but not so that he could try to change the future regarding thetragedy that is yet to come for Ruri but instead he reveals that this world is all a simulation and all he wants to do is capture some joyful moments of Ruri. But it's all a trainwreck after it, could be spoilers so I am skipping out on it.

Art and Animation 9/10
Even tho it's CG but it's the good kind of CG, it's only disturbing for couple of minutes but then you get used it. For me, the background art was most astounding aspect of this movie, seeing Kyoto in an aesthetically rendered version of itself was really blissful. Can't say the same for character art tho, they were very similar to KyoAni.

Sound 7/10
The aural aspects actually made me enjoy this trainwreck of a movie, specially the insert song for the ending sequence. Even still I don't really remember any other outstanding soundtrack from it.

Characters 4/10
The character models and character writing was all pretty generic. First of all the main characters looked like they're stolen from KyoAni.
And there's nothing much interesting about the characters in case of writing as well, socially awkward boy falls in love and now will do anything to save his love which includes fucking up a world. And lord, the female lead was so dull, I mean she didn't even say a single word seeing her lover do some stupid sci-fi stuff through his hand.

Enjoyment 5/10
I somewhat enjoyed the movie but too many "What the fuck is this shit" moments ruined my enjoyment from time to time.

Overall I'd give it a 5.2, truthfully it's another good concept but yet again suffering from bad execution of plot. The characters could use some better writing, albeit the art and animation was amazing.
