Her Blue Sky was a pretty good watch, but it didn’t hit me as strongly as I hoped. The animation is beautiful ,,,especially the sky scenes,,,and the music is genuinely nice. But the pacing felt strange. Some moments rushed by too quickly, while others dragged on, so the overall flow felt a bit off.
I liked the characters, but I never felt fully connected to them. The movie tries to be emotional, and there are a few good moments, but it just doesn’t go deep enough to leave a big impact. It’s enjoyable, just not something I’d want to rewatch.
good visuals, good music, but the story feels uneven and not very memorable.,AND .......?

So close, yet so so far.
This movie starts off surprisingly well, one of the few anime that distances itself from the anime tropes and makes characters well defined and closer to realistic. Everything from characters to aesthetic was so sweetly spot on, and though the plot is nothing to write home about, it is a very comfortable ride thanks to how non-anime it seemed and how chill it is: a true proper slice-of-life experience with a supernatural twist, and some nice, romantic drama.
Alas, what was supposed to be a nice, comfortable movie about growth, maturity and following your dreams, was that for about two thirds of the movie before it turned into some quite unnecessary, forced drama about rescuing a "damsel in distress", and turned to rather strange and inexplicable supernatural occ…

From the trailer, Her Blue Sky looked decent enough. A well-produced and animated coming of age story with aspiring musicians that was helmed by key members behind Anohana, a solid, rather melodramatic, tearjerker. Instead of rising to the level of the aforementioned series, Her Blue Sky instead imitates the mediocrity of the team's other work, Anthem of the Heart.
One thing all three productions have in common is a fantasy element. While I didn't have an issue with this in the other two titles, it felt unneeded here, exploring feelings of the past that would have been better relegated to subtext. In fact, Japanese films and anime have a rather tiresome penchant for injecting rote fantasy elements into an otherwise ordinary story as of late. It often amounts to adding boatloads of spice t…

Within 10 mins of the movie, I realised that this was going to be a special one. The plot of the movie was so different and refreshing that I had very high hopes and expectations from the movie. But it did disappoint me to some extent when it did not reach its potential. The foundation that the movie laid in the first 15 mins made me look into so many beautiful scenarios in the movie but the writer decided to go with an average one.
Yes it is not a bad movie at all. But when you begin this strong in a movie you tend to increase the expectations of the audience and those expectations did not meet for me.
The movie does give a very beautiful message to never regret about anything in life and to not shut in your feelings. I really loved the message that the movie displayed for the audience.…

I had this for like two years on hold and had forgotten about it until i saw it just today on my notes. And i gotta say. DAMN why did i find it?
Spoilers ahead possibly but i don't care. You gotta know the reality of this poor work.
Overall, the movie was ok at best. But the worst is the plot. The cliche. The "a boy leaves and returns and the girl still loves him even tho he left her destroyed or on her own bc the boy thought he was gonna be a big deal but became lame af" kind of thing. Yes, it is that bad.
My honest opinion. Don't waste your time. I truly wish to get those two hours back so i don't watch this.

It's actually a very good film, I really enjoyed the story. But there is still much that can be criticized. There may be a few spoilers in this review, but I try my best not to leak the story line.
The visuals are very good, it cannot be denied, the visuals provided can spoil the eyes, both in character and depiction of locations, I also like the way the seiyu play their roles in the film. The part that I like the most about this film is the song. yes, I immediately put this song into my playlist.
Then what are the drawbacks?
- In my opinion, the initial introductions for each character are less mature, especially Shinnosuke. I hope that the introduction to the past of an important character can be described a little more broadly, so that when you enter the story you can immediately unde…

I loved this movie. I’m somewhat lukewarm on Mari Okada usually, but her and Tatsuyuki Nagai really work together beautifully here, showcasing all her positive aspects really well. As with Anohana, Okada excels at crafting beautifully written characters with authentic and genuine emotional insecurities. Her dialogue is excellent, being both naturalistic and hilarious. She has such a knack for writing teenagers who actually talk and think like a human being. So much of Aoi’s internal monologue resonates so much me personally, especially her penchant for knowing that she shouldn’t say what she’s thinking, but overcomes with enough teenage anguish to power through that reasonable voice in the back of her brain. Her rage at herself for seemingly dragging her sister down is eerily similar to on…

I would've thought this is gonna be good anime like K-ON stuff
but after watching this, i was like "what is the point of this anime?" the story is too messy and cannot be understood easily.
but luckily the art/graphic in this anime is nice to watch though and the song is pleasant to hear.
but what is unfortunate is the plot of the story is unclear and confused, i don't know if this can be a recommended anime because its to confusing
well I don't know if I caught the wrong thought when watching this anime but this far way from my expectations

Mari Okada / Tatsuyuki Nagai. A match made in heaven. One of my favorite pairings in all of anime. I don't know a single thing I've disliked made by the combination of the two of them, and Mari Okada specifically is one of my all-time favorite writers.
I had such high expectations for this movie...which perhaps was the mistake I made, because boy was it such a disappointment. I should have expected this from Cloverworks, who did Bunny Girl Senpai along with the movie which clearly wasn't movie quality, much like this. Ultimately, I feel as though "Her Blue Sky" would have worked much better as a 1-cour series and it honestly does seem like it was cut down to a movie due to budget constraints, although obviously that's just speculation.
Story: 4/10

Sora no Aosa wo Shiru Hito yo, or Her Blue Sky for short.
Spoiler warning, but to sum up the show, it's not that good anyway.
With that, I'll be brief and clear on the review. Her Blue Sky is a movie that really just uses the same anime formula but tries to incorporate its own plot to the structure. The show honestly starts off with no hesitation, from the get-go we are literally just thrown into the movie. Promising start I presume, plus what came after that was honestly fine. Mediocre and somewhat cliche of the 'anime-vibe', scenes of Japanese school life/scenery/people blah blah blah... The usual in an anime movie that takes place in Japan. For those who have watched or haven't watched, I must admit the 'scenarios' they used to fill in the anime formula is kind of weak. But it's acc…

I found myself incredibly excited at the first time I heard about this movie.The trailer feels promising, the animation looks wonderful, the story makes me think that this is going to be a sad, tearjerker story. And my excitement went wilder when I found out that the story is written by Mari Okada. So I have such a high hopes about this movie. But then I realize that this movie wasn't what I expected it to be.
Story:
The story follows a girl named Aioi Aoi. She's an aspiring bassist who dreamt of pursuing a career as a musician. Following the footstep of her sister's boyfriend Kanomura Shinnosuke whose gone to Tokyo to pursue a career as a professional musician.
Aoi's sister Akane was meant to go with Shinnosuke to Tokyo but she ends up refuse to go due to her parent's dead and her respon…

I really like the series. Just finished watched this in the theatre. First interested in this series because of trailers and the staff in it. Overall i enjoy it. Story is pretty complex with many emotions. We can really feel that the characters is alive in this story, not just some made up characters. You can enjoy it watching this movie alone, with your friends, or with your girlfriends. This anime is 13+ for my country so it's not suitable for kids to watch this.

Her Blue Sky
A movie which is really good at expressing that the path towards your dreams can really be hard and rocky path and requires a lot of sacrificing
This would be my first review so please spare some criticisms
Story :8/10
I was expecting a time travelling story but to my surprise didn't become relevant until the last bit of the story,the pacing is good but there can be some flaws not too major to bat an eye
Art:7/10 The art style isn't that spectacular but it does it's job,the art styles help express the emotions much more better
Character:7/10
Some characters felt a bit underdeveloped but nothing too major to ruin the movie,There is some characters that definitely developed properly with a good pacing and you can feel some emotion attachment to them as i did
Enjoyment:9/10…

For Valentine’s Day, I had the amazing idea to watch this movie at the last full show with some of my friends (Unluckily for us, we don’t have any dates, but it doesn’t matter as long as we have each other!!!), and honestly, this didn’t disappoint.
Like the synopsis said, this movie is about four people (essentially three), Aoi (the younger sister), Akane (the older sister), “Shinnosuke” of the present, and “Shinno” of the past. The story revolves on the dreams of all of them and how they become tied to one another, whether they become a reality or not. The “time travel” part isn’t exactly true, and it isn’t confirmed. They call the past Shinno a living spirit, which was said to be the personification of a person’s strong feelings.
From the same creator of "Anohana", the spirit part of…

Just writing my review right after watching this movie.
THERE MAY BE SPOILERS BELOW, BE WARNED!!! (Almost Spoiler-free)
Story: 4/10
The story is really confusing at the start until that red-haired character showed up later in the movie. Just imagine the same person meeting each other but they are in different timelines. (This is some time travelling stuff) The main point of the story is falling in love with the same person who you had relationship with before. Personally, I don't really like the story so that's the main reason why I gave it a 4.
Art: 9/10
Art is exceptionally good in this movie. On par with Your Name and Weathering with You. People who likes anime with good art should try to watch this movie.
Sound: 7/10

Her Blue Sky, a movie that exists.
Story 5/10
Honestly, as I sat through this movie I only grew more and more bewildered by the plot of this movie, which has nothing really to do with either time travel or the weather. The plot is nonsensical at times leaving you to scream questions at the screen, and by the end of leaves several plot threads left hanging.
Art 6/10
I may have been spoilt by Makoto Shinkai's weathering with you and expected this film to have the same fidelity as that one. The expectation was not met sadly with most of the scenes only being slightly better than most TV anime.
Sound 7/10
It's pretty decent, and is by far the best part of this movie though not really all that praiseworthy either.
Characters 6/10
The characters were a mixed bag, I disliked some I liked o…

Sora no Aosa wo Shiru Hito yo
I was lucky enough to catch the movie in theatres as soon as it was released, I can safely say I enjoyed the movie but it’s definitely not rewatch worthy. Certainly not as good as the other movies released this year like Tenki no Ko or Fate/Stay Night Heaven’s Feel.
There wasn’t anything particularly notable during the movie apart from the unusual setting and considerably weird plot... That... and my friend sleeping in the cinema.
Well, that statement stands for itself. The movie’s concept is unique. It’s unusual setting which involves a form of time travel with an added twist. And a weirdly cliched plot with weird relationships.

although this anime seems like the full plot is about time travelling, honestly the time travelling part barely felt relevant until the end of the series
Story: 7/10
the plot was just,,, well blend. the story was almost boring, and it felt like the plot could have included more, and the story had so much room for improvement, and the characters could have been better developed, but sadly this was not achieved. however, credit has to be due to the way the romance aspect of the show was handled during this series, giving you a smile on your face towards the end of the movie,
character 8/10
the characters were all interesting, but was not allowed to be developed in this film. the characters all had their flaws presented in the early stage of the film, but some were never fully addressed

A tale of experiencing first love for the second time, and that of losing sight of what you once dreamt of.
Firstly, the synopsis is not that accurate. This is not a story of time travel, nor did Aoi only start to fall in love upon meeting the Shinno from 13 years ago.
The movie starts with Aoi plugging in her earphones to practice her bass, drowning out all sounds. I feel that that is a nice touch. We are then gradually introduced to the other characters and how Aoi feels about them. There was also a flashback of her past which explains why the two sisters are living together, when Shinno suddenly appears.
Story: 10/10
There were some twists that I've never expected. At first, I thought only Aoi could see Shinno, but it turned out that everyone could see him too. They called him an I…
