Boku no kanojo wa saibôgu

I've watched this movie so many times and I still enjoy it immensely. It is the only film that I can think of that covers pretty much all genres. Mostly it is a romance but also a sci-fi, mystery, comedy, tragedy, horror, thriller with plenty of twists that you don't see coming. The acting is superb from both of the lead stars and Ayasa Haruka is so adorable. Tears of laughter and sadness will flow from most viewers whilst watching this story. The directing is spot on and the story will keep your attention from start to finish. I would be surprised if many people could guess the ending as the final twist is really one of those WOW moments. Japanese movie makers are very good at stirring emotions and surprising audiences with twist. This epic movie is no exception.

My rating 10/10! One of only 2 films I rate so highly.

"Jiro Kitamura" (Keisuke Koide) is a lonely young man who has nobody to celebrate his birthday with him. That night while buying a present for himself he sees a beautiful young woman (played by Haruka Ayase) in the process of shoplifting some clothes in the department store and he watches with fascination as she leaves in a totally nonchalant manner. Their eyes meet and she smiles at him. Not long afterward he goes to a restaurant to celebrate his birthday and while he is eating she comes in and sits down next to him. What then transpires is a whirlwind evening that he remembers until his next birthday a year later. Now, rather than reveal what happens next and risk spoiling the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a cute little "rom-com" sci-fi which one might enjoy watching with somebody special. Having said that I should probably also mention that this movie was filmed in Japanese and used English subtitles. Additionally, there were a couple of scenes which were a little slow and drawn out. Even so, I thought that both Keisuke Koide and Haruka Ayase played their parts real well and for what it's worth I rate this movie as slightly above average.

This movie was actually somewhat of a surprise. I had bought it from Amazon without actually knowing what it was all about. It had gotten fairly good reviews on Amazon, plus it was an Asian movie, so I decided to give it a go.

And now having seen it, I must say that "Cyborg She" was actually a really nice movie. It is a very interesting romantic movie of sorts, because it is not your average romance movie. You have Jiro who falls in love with a cyborg that he himself built in the future and sent back to himself in the past. Confusing? Well, a bit odd, but it made for a really nice story actually. And it worked out quite well. I especially liked the way the movie ended, because it rounded up so many questions that you were stuck with in the first part of the movie.

The cast in "Cyborg She" was actually quite good. Haruka Ayase (playing the cyborg) and Keisuke Koide (playing Jiro) had really good chemistry on the screen. And I must admit that I was really taken in by Haruka Ayase's performance as the cyborg, and they had really managed to present her in a way that made her look sort of artificial.

Not sure if this was based on an anime or manga, or not, but it sure had the feel like you were watching a live-action manga movie. Thumbs up on that.

"Cyborg She" is one of the more interesting Asian movies I have seen in awhile, because it is somewhat beyond the stereotypical stuff that you see in Asian movies. This oddly romantic story will capture your heart and take you along on a very well-told journey. The movie offers everything from love and laughs to thrills and action.

If you are a fan of Asian cinema, then you definitely should check out "Cyborg She".

Very sweet fantasy movie with some time travelling. I would have rated 7 but it was too long and could have edited short.

Someone wrote a perfect science fiction story and made a movie of it in 2008 and it took 12 years to find me. I wish someone would do the same with Robert A. Heinlein's better stories. The world needs this. Thank you.
