It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. Minor spoiler
Am I the only one who thinks this film was just OK? The majority seem to be gushing over how wonderful it is, but I just thought it was average.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad at all, and I absolutely loved the artwork and stunningly beautiful sceneries throughout the film, but I found the plot too childish, idyllic and naive. Sure, it's anime so that's to be expected, but I was hoping for something a bit more thought-provoking and "raw".
It's a nice idea that there's someone for everyone and somehow we're connected, blah blah blah and I totally get the feeling of always searching for something/someone too, but I guess I'm not a teenager anymore and my life has made me far too cynical for my own good!!! LOL The director seems to like being in a perpetual melancholy state too as if his or anyone else's life is out of their control (yes, I have seen his other films and they all seem to have this element of pensiveness/loneliness/wistfulness to them), so it's just not my cup of tea.
Anyway, it's still an enjoyable film to get lost in for a couple of hours as a form of escapism but that's about it.
