It was July 2020, I was just starting watching anime and exploring MAL and found a movie that looked very promising. It looked similar to Your Name, which I loved, so I wanted to give it a try. I waited patiently until the release, in November. The day thay movie aired... nothing happened. Not the day after, not in a week, not for a long time. "It was badly received" "It was only showed two times on cinemas" "Rakuten only sells it raw and within Japan" was what I could see from different pages and the official website. I was losing all hope until somedays ago I happened to look for it again. And to my great surprise, it was there, it was not fake. So I decided to watch it at night yesterday, which I did. Was it worth to look for it so much? Let's find out.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Story: 6.5/10 - The story centers arround Mio and Arata, the typical childhood confession and an accident that transported her to a parallel world. So far so good. What happens then is a very rare mix of everything possible. A colourful world with spirits reincarnated on things she remembered, her worst fears personified in giant monsters that chased her for the entire world and a lot, really lot of metaphoric uses. All of this which would have been perfect if there weren't so many plot holes and, mainly, non-explained things. Especially at the end. But hey, we won, right? Dale campeón.

Art: 8.5/10 - As most movies that inspired in beautiful works like Your Name and A Silent Voice, Kimi wa Kanata has amazing landscape design. Each of the scenarios were beautifully drawn, and you could feel they were very inmersive. Also the character design were very charming and easy to like. Animation was fine, being great at little things like Mio's moving hair and fair at moments like her flight over the fish. An overall great thing that with a little more budget could have been even more amazing.

Sound: 8.5/10 - Soundtrack was also something very special. All the orchesta was very nice and according to the movie. And both songs, To You (Mio's song) and Shunkan Dramatic (Ending) were incredible. I'm even listening to Shunkan Dramatic in loop as I write this. This is the part that creates great memories, and they achieved it by a lot.

Character: 7/10 - Not very amazing but still nice. Mio and Arata were the typical two main characters that everyone like, and then we had the different supporting characters and the main 'antagonist' (was it one though?). They made the movie enjoyable without shining too much. Fair enough.

Enjoyment: 8/10 - Being extremely strange and without sense for some times doesn´t make it less enjoyable. Even more, it makes it even better sometimes as I already knew this could be like that and wanted to feel something like this. I´m glad to find another 'falopity' show, those anime so strange that make you wonder about everything in their world.

Overall: 7.5/10 - I don't really know how much to score this. I feel a 6 is definitively low, a 7 misses something but an 8 is too much for a movie that was so inconsistent for moments. Maybe I will give it an 8 in support for the movie, as 6.55 rating is not fair at all. But the real score for me is 7.50.

Overall: 7.5/10 --> 8/10
Should you watch it? Yeah, it's a very nice movie.

Was it worth the wait? I would say YES.
