I have read the manga of this anime. I was thrilled that they are adapting it into anime because the manga had a decent plot. However, I was disappointed to find out that this is a film. Things would have been much better if this was a series. They squeezed 12 volumes of manga into a less-than-2-hour film. It was mindboggling how the director decided in this direction because many things were missed and taken out. I guess with the rating it has on MAL some would read the manga after so on that part it should be a good PR. Nevertheless, as a stand-alone media, it doesn't work.
The plot is too fast-paced. If I hadn't finished reading the manga, I wouldn't have understood what was going on in some parts of the film. At the same time, if I hadn't read the manga, I would rate it better but I wo…

This movie was an OK movie and felt kinda bad/average-ish when you compare it directly to the source material. The staff wasn't able to grasp the "doki doki shoujo vibes" to the screen and some very special, intimate moments felt way more plain that they should. Since they decided to adapt the whole manga in the spawn of a movie I knew it would be rushed and watched in hope of seeing some of my favorite scenes, but since they couldn't grasp the vibes from the manga they ended up being less than ideal. One of them still made me happy though, but just because it's that good of a scene.
I think it's a good movie to introduce you to the manga and make you interested in it (hopefully? But it might push you away because it's not that good?) and I think it gets a passing grade because there isn…

after reading the manga, i was quite excited to watch the anime but i was honestly met with disappointment.
to get straight to the point, this movie was very fast pace. if you were to visualize the plot of this movie everything was jagged rather than smooth, if that makes sense. i tried to ignore the fact that i had read it beforehand and tried to avoid keeping track of the timeline, but it was very hard. even if i had watched this without reading it, i would still feel lost and confused on what had happen in the span of an hour and 40 mins of it. you don't get to see the character developments but instead you're just forced to assume what happened. and many of the interactions between characters like yuna and rio or akari and kazu weren't there to lead you up to the important parts of t…

*SPOILER WARNING*
The pacing of the story is so whack. Since when did Rio and Yuna get close enough to be able to borrow and lend shoujo manga to each other?? Since when did Kazu and Rio become bestfriends that Kazu would sacrifice his love for him, thinking that his bestfriend likes Akari? There was so much important scenes that was cut out, which made parts of the story making no sense. I wish there were more interactions between the characters. Btw, the "Rio grabs onto any confession as an opportunity—so long as the girl looks cute" part of the synopsis was a total lie, I don't know where that came from since he rejected every girl that confessed to him. PS. This is my first time making a review.

tldr: don’t even bother, just go read the manga.
I can only speak as someone who read the manga and while it wasn’t an outstanding shoujo this adaptation didn’t do it justice at all, it was just bad and sad. I’m so disappointed.
My main gripe is with how the characters were handled. The reason why this film is boring and difficult to get through is because they cut so much important characterisation that made the characters stand apart from each other and made their relationships interesting. SPOILER >>>>>>> Rio and Yuna’s mutual confession holds so little emotional weight because SOOOO much development that led up to that point was cut out, especially from Rio’s side. It just all feels very sudden and pointless.
I missed the internal dialogue of the characters; from Yuna in particula…

So the movie s art style was very good...but the main problem is that the movie was a very rushed...it would have been more interesting and the plot would have been nicely presented if the movie wasn’t that much rushed.the intoduction of the character and their design was okay. But there is a lack in the development in their experiences of love life,I think it could be presented more nicely.overall this is not that bad...but it could have been a masterpiece if everything seemed to work properly *-*
I haven’t read the manga but I plan to because I think manga has much to offer me.. So this is a no read manga review of its manga adaptation..
Overall u can enjoy the art style sound and the story...and if u are a romance and shoujo lover I believe u will like it...

a disappointment when you've already read the manga
i enjoyed reading the manga (id rate it a 7 out of 10) quite a bit but the anime was so boring to watch, really. i watched it with a friend who neither watched or read it before and she got bored real quick since like nothing happened. the background music was not really there, the animation was okay but sometimes they added corny stuff like them being in another universe when something cute happened?? idk it was just too much for me but the story overall got REALLY boring delivered which is sad because the manga was enjoyable..
they left important keys out of the manga as well so i would really recommend it to read it if you haven't yet. i was really excited for the animation, so this was quite a disappointment

A cute romance with a touch of reality. (but without failing to be a shoujo)
(Sorry for my bad English)
In this story we will accompany Yuna, a shy girl who dreams of her prince charming and Akari, a girl more down to earth who has experienced loving disappointments. We'll also meet the two boys, Kazu and Ryo.
I had already read the manga, I love the stories of Io Sakisaka, so before watching, I as already linked to the characters, which probably helped a lot in my vision for the story. They cut a lot of things, which didn't instill me, but probably for those who don't know the story could find it too fast, which would become a problem.
Things are developing at a rapid pace, especially the dramas of Akari's family and Ryo's drama. But they make it clear the passage of time, through th…

I had thought that this anime will be same as the "Romance Anime" that created by Honeyworks like "Zuto mae kara suki deshita" or "Itsudatte bokura no koi wa 10 cm datta" . But, it's different, it's more complex. In beginning, you will be shown love story like romance anime in general, but, a few minutes later you will be shown one-sided taboo love feelings (i don't know the right words) that is heated up at middle of story.
For the character, akari is more dominant in story than yuna.
The art and music is good, i like art style like this
Overall is good, you can enjoy this anime if you like romance drama anime such as "Ao Haru Ride"

Even as a fan of the original work who knew and understood that a fair amount of things would be reduced since it is a movie adaptation, I think it wasn't well handled. A lot of important points in the story that helped understand the characters, their development and grow were discarded or handled not so well; with details that, in my opinion, one wouldn't be capable of understand if you didn't read the manga first.
There were also a fair amount of little things or scenes that could have been added to the movie and make the adaptation a lot more enjoyable.
The story can turn very cheesy in some points, but not much more of what can one espect from a highschool romance drama.
Now, into the good points. The movie is beautifull in terms of art and sound, very pleaseant to see and listen.…

I would recommend this a million times over Ao Haru Ride (I gave that a 3).
The story is fine. I expected the melodrama from Io Sakisaka, but the decently and mature enough characters make up for it. Sure, there are some communication problems, but given the age of the characters, it's understandable. In the end, they all find a mature way to resolve them.
My first impression of the girls was that they were going to be childish and annoying, but they surprised me being far more likeable than I anticipated. I ended up rooting for them halfway through (especially Yuna).
The acting was good (nice debut for Marika Suzuki) and the sound aswell, with some nice music. The art was easily the best part. Jesus, the are some great shots and everything looks beautiful.
Overall I find myself enjoy…

I read the manga wayyy before the movie was released and this series is definitely one of my favorites. When it was announced that they would make a movie I was super hyped to see my favorite characters turned animated, but alas my expectations were crushed. The movie is too fast-paced, they had to chop off a lot of scenes that would help us understand the characters more, and overall it was super underwhelming. I understand that they needed to chop a lot because of time but they should have just made this to a series because this was not it. Don't get wrong I love the confession scene between Rio and Yuna but it just didn't make any sense how or why Rio came to like Yuna, sure she helped him but is that just all? Not just that but Kazuomi and Akari's relationship is super bland, they didn…

Tl;dr:
- Movie suffers from a pacing issue
- Unrealistic and uninteresting characters
- Forced character interactions
- Cliched and cringe dialogues
- Good animation, character designs and music.
- Targeted for a relatively younger audience.
What's the worst thing you can do with your romance anime? Unrealistic characters?
Cliched and cheesy dialogues?
Forced character interactions?
Or maybe all of the above?
Omoi Omoware Furi Furare should be named as "Rejection Compilation" as rejection is everything that happens.
Am I exaggerating? Ofc but not too much.
The premise of this movie is interesting enough. 4 main characters with different views on the love end up together in a high school as a classmate. Will they be able to achieve their wished youthful romance? It's not bad I like…

Wow, so, this is my first ever review, hey there. *spoilers free*
So I read the manga without even knowing there was going to be a movie and I loved it. When I knew about the movie I was thrilled, I got really excited over the thing "I read it before seeing it" because, most times, I see the anime and then read the manga.
It was little fastpassed yes, for me and the others we read the manga all of the plot makes sense, as well as the development of each character, but I can understand why someone who didn't read it can find it rushed. It's just to tell you, viewer that didn't read the manga, that if you eventually read the manga (I highly recommend it), it will make more sense.
Also expect more plot, because there were parts of the story that were cut (and even though they were cut, the…

I will say it the most easy way... If you want to fully enjoy this movie, read the manga first or else you will feel like its too rushed and prolly wouldnt understand how much time passed between the scenes which can make you feel lost as the movie contains the complete manga in it so a lot of chapters, scenes got cut off to squeeze the story in.
As someone who read the manga while it was still ongoing I enjoyed this a lot as it contains every important scene (except one sweet scene between one of the couples in one's room > read it to get what Im talking about 😝) which is kinda disappointing but overall I'm very satisfied with how it turned out. Also the movie doesnt really portray the character development because the movie didnt go too deep into them or rather didnt have time for tha…

i havent read the manga but here is my opinion about the movie as a whole,
(Might contain spoilers)
i honestly think they missed out on so so much, it would have been better if we saw the opinions of others and reactions yuna and rio got for dating and their experiences, and another thing is how much things happened in less than half way through the movie, very fast paced
It would have been so so much cooler if they made it into a 12 eps anime we could have went more indepth and we could have learned more about it characters.
Ex. They could have threw more hints that rio always liked akari, could have made more scenes showing how slowly rio and yuna, showed us more of akari and rio before their parents married etc!!
Overall i do recommend it if you like the genre as i personally enjoyed it…

If you are 15 years old in the prime of your teenage years you will love this movie is a love 4anguel and is not very develop all of their issues can be resolve if they had communication is the normal rom-com school romance that is inlonagted sometimes, it was stress full at times but at the end I wanted the movie to be over, ca¿hacters ar under developing you can't get attached to them because they are not likable. The animation is beautiful but the dialogue is too simple for my licking. I really wanted to like this movie it had so much potential but the only interesting drama i got from the almost incest family plot was the parents fighting and the mother almost hitting a 3rd divorce, over all under baked and not a lot to go around not very memorable

I haven't read the manga but this movie is good but no more
On the one hand, I was hyped by the annoucement, because it was an romance highschool and it has been a while since I saw this kind of anime. And it doesn't disappoint me. Indeed, I enjoyed the story, which has nothing more than the others but I still like it. We got to see two romances for the price of one, by doing that, it killed two birds with one stone so yeah why not.
Just after my viewing, I was convinced that the film was good and that nothing was missing.
On the other hand, the next day, I wondered about the film, and it's never very good when you get there. Indeed, there are elements that are completely forgotten and characters that are not well developed or have disappeared. I think the film is about 20 minutes short o…

This movie was average.
It was fast paced. They didn't show much interactions between the male and female leads. The interaction between the female leads, specially how they met, didn't seem forced. In fact, it was okay & I liked how they became friends. But, as for the interaction between the female leads & male leads, I guess many scenes were cut. So it kinda seemed forced.
I think it'd be better if this movie showed more interactions among the leads. Then, a lot of the scenes would have made more sense and would not have looked so forced.
Nevertheless, I kinda enjoyed it. I was craving for some romance anime & I got to watch it. So, if you are looking for a light hearted romance anime just like me, you can watch it.

This movie was quite enjoyable in the beginning, however characters were quite inconsistent with their writing while the story devolved into a complete mess. It did not take long for the movie to turn extremely cheesy with most of the character interactions being frustrating and hard to sit through. As I said earlier, the writing for the characters towards the middle of the movie started to show a constant inconsistency. The two characters that were introduced presented a common dichotomy that isn't new, but was rather charming, with both of the characters actually fitting into what the synopsis of the anime described them as. However, towards the middle of the story, both characters started to turn into the same characters and lost the charm that was given to us at the beginning of the mo…
