Niji no megami

Most of the Japanese romance movies I've seen have been pretty good, but this one I just couldn't get into. It's very slow and the characters aren't very good either.

I hated the main male lead. He's such a simp, and doesn't seem to think through his actions. He let's people just walk all over him. He's always getting hit and verbally abused by his coworkers.

He loses the girl he really liked. Man this guy really ticked me off to watch. Just could not enjoy this movie because of it.

Most love stories have the traditional boy meets girl, some kind of drama, fall in love and end up together in the end - not this one! Loved the angle which I don't want to spoil and the final scene. Should make everyone appreciate life more..

Most japanese teen romance movies are geared towards maximum cute, so they are quite childish, clichéd and exaggeratedly cheesy, clearly aiming at a teen audience. Those have their place too but this one is much more realistic and mature. I liked it.

This was a very touching movie. The acting wasn't the best, but the emotions felt from the characters were very strong. This movie should have won awards, it takes a normal realistic story and makes it beautiful. The female lead had s talent of making one feel just as she is. The male lead portrayed the character perfectly. Their relationship was so real and could be felt through the screen.This movie was beautifully sad and a most watch for anyone.

When watching a Comedy/Romance movie, most of the times, you expect it to be witty, sometimes funny about a love story between two hot protagonists. Or when it is Drama/Romance typed, you expect some complications, involving family problems, or the likes.. . But this one is neither of these, it's more like an everyday realistic "romance" that most people must already know.

I prefer not saying much more about the film, because i perfectly enjoyed it without having any idea about it, so you better not read any reviews containing spoilers or the likes, if you want to enjoy it to the fullest.

The acting was perfect, a little different Aoi Yu and a completely different Juri Ueno. I don't know much about the director's style or other films, but one day i may become his/her fan.

a nearly 2 hours film, with a beautiful slow pace that let you be more and more closer to the characters, and feeling like you're one of them. Highly recommended , preferably in a rainy or a snowy day.
