Suprisingly a bad love letter to a sci-fi story, unlike what the writer wanna told you.
It seemed that somewhere along the way, the writer felt stuck on what or how to write the story he wanted, but never commit to anything.
Question: What drove the story?
Is it romance, mystery of the world, the adversity, the story within a story, or the characters?
Answer: None of them because it doesn't have any foundations or themes beside 'sci-fi' which is a crime since this genre usually provided you with a societal commentaries or humanity's preservation which also ironic since this movie had a character that preserveration nature in the character yet it can't commit to anything.
It is a character-driven story in a simulation world, yet it never acknowledged the superficial aspect of their en…

“Hello World” is what happens when You decide that mixing the “Inception” and “Paprika” is a good idea… without the skill to write a logical plot.
I’ll start with this: the plot doesn't make any logical sense and the deeper we go the more convoluted and nonsensical it becomes. That said, I don't think that the plot is the main appeal of this movie. That honour is reserved for the interactions between the main 2… well… I guess technically it’s 3, (I’ll get to that) main characters.
We follow 16 year old Naomi Katagaki. One day he happens to meet himself from the future. A bit on the enigmatic side but the older Katagaki declares that he came to help himself get a girlfriend. Not just any girlfriend. The girlfriend he had and lost due to an accident. The older Katagaki wants to be called…

“Dating is something that you can’t do alone...let’s try it together, shall we?”
I honestly love this line so much, it provides a different outlook, and seeing Ichigyou get all red after was quite the treat. There were many takeaways from Hello World, and I think the biggest thing for me was that sometimes you’re gonna have to let people go, everybody who is in your life is meant to be apart of your journey, but not all of them are going to stay to the end.
It’s intriguing to see Ichigyou be mostly unphased, even as she sees her boyfriend literally summon a black hole from her hands. She is placed in a ridiculous predicament, yet she never questions the state she’s in, the world she’s come to know, and Naomi’s incredible power.
The ending we received was very eye opening, as we get to se…

SPOILER FREE REVIEW !!
holy fucking shit. i did Not expect this movie to be this good.
i expected nothing from this movie, nothing bad, nothing good. but did it just blew my non existed expectations, and here's how
story 7/10: not gonna lie i didn't understand all the sci-fi shit at all before near the end of the movie and i still dont to be honest but ill just blame that on my empty brain. the story especially the sci-fi elements are interesting, very very much so. nothing ground breaking, its still the classic guy time travels to change something from the past story but they do it well. the pacing and timing of this movie is rly nice. nothing felt rushed, but it didnt feel boring or unimportant too.
Art 9/10: realising that this was in all cg, i was preparing myself to not judge th…

It's a meh. Story lacked conviction. Im very disappointed in how this came out, the concept was very interesting but they downplayed it so bad. I swear this concept has so much potential. Characters were bland, there wasnt nothing going on between the MC and his girl. It's hard to think that someone would die for their girlfriend of a month and spend 10 years working on how to extract the "consciousness" from recorded data. The only intriguing part is the data. The idea that it isn't time traveling had its kown originality to it, thus not having a paradox would be totally logical... Props to the concept, everything else sucked, thank you, goodbye.

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 the tragedy 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.…

I was scrolling through Instagram and found this anime qoutes
"Dating isn't something you can do alone, shall we do it together?"
I was confused at first, i thought it was some Sci-Fi anime thats show-off their animating skills using CGI, i was wrong.
FYI: The correct genre was Sci-Fi, Drama, Romance btw.
Story: 9, Althought the Ending was confusing as hell, after searching so many "theories" about it i found out how's the Ending explanation.
Without the theories, the stories might've ending 7,5-8/10 for mem
What's makes it different from other Anime is.. Sci-Fi (except Steins;Gate) travelling back into time using Technologies is an Generic type of story, as long it's enjoyable and well-going plot and insane plot-twist inside to story, that's why i'll give it an 9.
Visual/Art: 10

Just amazing and unique anime movie. Beyond imagining.
"I just want to see her smile"
A wonderful movie just loved to watch it.
Everyone should watch it. I recommend it to everyone. Loved it.

That's all.
The characters a bit game-like but the movement.
But the story and the song is amazing.
The story makes you think out of the box hitch you don"t even thought in your dream also.
Perfect deportation of what could be a future world can be. The first half is interesting than the second half but the action scenes are better in the second half.
Go for it I recommend it.
Have a nice day!!

This review contains minor spoilers, wherein I mainly elaborate on aspects of the story covered by the synopsis.
Simply put, Hello World is garbage. I could go into an endless stream of comical hyperbole in order to detail this, but I won't waste any time. If you're already familiar with how bad a Mado Nozaki story can be from Babylon or Seikaisuru Kado, don't be. This is much, much worse.
Hello World attempts to be a sci-fi romance flick, but unfortunately fails at the latter, and stumbles all over the former. The romance in this film is supposed to be assumed as true, both because our protagonist, Naomi Katagaki, gets roped into having a girlfriend by his future self, and also because it isn't actually developed in any real way aside from a montage of uninteresting events set to a forg…

The basic idea for this film had great potential to be an elite-level film, unfortunately this is not what Hello World is. This is not to say it’s bad: Hello World is sort of a hodge-podge of a film that wound up being rather successful despite also being entirely too ambitious.
In the first five minutes, it becomes clear there is quite a bit more to this film then the synopsis would lead you to believe. The actual basic sci-fi elements are strongly reminiscent of The Matrix. The constant escalation of the action sequences involving those powers is reminiscent of classics like Akira. The idea of trying to bring a dead loved one back is at this point a trope in anime, but in a sci-fi setting (and in large part thanks to the ending) is most similar to Hal. As if that wasn’t enough, it trie…

I can't with this movie like seriously. This has got to be my favourite movie of all time. I loved how they put so many plot twists because they are ones that just make your heart clench and aaaaaa I just love the format. To be honest I cried 5 times in this movie because the songs and the art and the story are so moving. At first, the only reason I even went to watch this movie was because I saw that Official Higedandism did an ost for this movie and I loved the song. When I actually went to watch it, I cannot believe how much the song went so well with the movie! I don't really know if it's because it made me cry a lot or I was in love with Katagaya but I really recommend it to someone who like fantasy and romance movies.

Hello World. This is a spoiler-free review.
Honestly, the movie is good but not too good nor too bad.
Story 6/10:
Have you ever felt trying to repeat something in the past because you could've prevented it? The film shows this feeling exactly the way I wanted it to be. The feeling of wanting to take something back from the past, driven by love, forcing you into harsh experiments just to get it back.
In all honestly, the movie is good but not too good nor too bad.
Why do I say so? It's simply because the plot wasn't fully showing us what was happening. Some parts do not make sense because it felt like they were stretching the plot to get to the end. The journey towards the end was really messy. There are a lot of plot holes and unexplained concepts (I won't go into full detail becau…

I was going to hold this review back, but upon seeing what made it to the forefront of the reviews, I thought some differing opinions could spark conversation.
TL;DR Score: 5 - First half good second half bad.
Incidentally, you watch Another World AFTER this movie.
Story:
Most of the problems stem from the flawed and convoluted story. To put it simply, it's split into 2 parts. The first part is a fairly pleasant romance drama. The second part is mostly an action flick with scifi themes. I also don't mean that there are 2 stories, rather that the 1 story really shifts gears halfway through following a decent plot twist.
The first part is actually reminiscent of Orange, although with the key difference that the future MC time travelled instead of a letter. Basically, the future MC aims t…

Spoilers-
The premise of a future mc helping out the current mc to get a girlfriend was an interesting concept. It would have been great if they kept the plot as beIng a romantic movie, as the first half of the movie was just that, awkward mc trying to get to know the female mc. I would have accepted if the movie did not elaborate much about the future mc so as to move the plot along.
However, when the movie tried to incorporate too much scientific manbo jambo ala inception in the second half, it became boring in the sense that things became too complicated. Virtual world within a virtual world trying to rectify things in yet another virtual world.
Plot should have stuck to mc in the opening, trying to win the heart of the female mc who is in a coma in the real world so that she can “wak…

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 3D animation 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…

Hello world is a movie I did not have much high hopes for. Mainly because of how its all 3D animated and sci-fi romance isn't really my type. What got me into watching this movie was because the trailer claimed that it was from the same company that made Weathering With You and Your Name and you know damn well how great those movies are so I had to give this one a chance.
Let's start off with the the pros of the movie
The biggest point I can personally think of after watching Hello World was the animation, art and the soundtrack. Despite the whole movie being CGI, they did such a great job with it that I first thought to myself, "Am I really watching a 3D anime?". The scenes were very crisp and did not look choppy at all, the animation looked realistic an…

Oh boi! I just finished watching this movie earlier and i have a lot of things i want to say about this Anime but first of all i want to say that this movie exceeded my expectations. when i first saw the movie trailer and at the same time knew that it was the same company who makes the movie Kimi No Na Wa and Weathering with you possible (by all means, i'm fully aware that Hello World was not created by the same author as the 2 anime i mentioned above which is created by makoto shinkai), i admittedly expecting it to have an open ending but it i was mistaken, So without further a do this is my full review about Hello World
Story: I wont bother telling the summary cause you can read it here on MAL. So for starters the story was pretty interesting(Note: i read some part of the source materia…

Movie Review: (Non-Spoiler)
Story: 9/10
Great and interesting story. Romance: 10/10.
At first it was confusing for me, then I realized "You're lucky if you've already watched Steins;Gate" as it's really the best Sci-Fi anime that ever existed. We go back to the movie, since it's a Sci-Fi anime, you would really be confused at first t…

"I just wanted to see her smile again."
Well, well. What have I got to say... That was some pretty good words coming from a guy who has spent so much time trying to get her to wake up again. This Sci-Fi romance film was something I wouldn't have expected to be extraordinary, I kind of kept my hopes down for the entire film. But after watching the movie, it felt... decent? good? I was confused at that point. However, what I CAN say is that the romance was implied pretty strongly on the main character. Spending 10 years to save a girl you literally just started dating with? That's some sheer determination there my good old friend. Enough sputtering filler phrases, let me start my review on Hello World.
To begin with, the story felt... confusing? Especially at the end, it might make you go,…

Been invited to watch this-- advanced special screening in PH. Oct 28.
It's definitely 100% CG but it's not a bad cg. It's a very well made cg, consistent, trippy -- there's so many "inception-ish" going on and I understand why they made the whole thing in cg.
- The characters are likeable like they are straight outta tamako market
- The sound design is outstanding 10/10
- Story is interesting, some parts are cliche but the plot twist is a bruh moment
- art is.. its ajin on steroids
Im gonna rewatch it again when it airs here on the 30th.
PS: I enjoyed this more than Weathering with you.
