To Every You I've Loved Before

I specially made an exception for this masterpiece. I Really don't know what to say. This is not a tragic or anything mind blowing (Like eat pancrease), I asure you that you will not weep, however this did stir up some emotions in me, and I realised it by the end. This is a slow pacing movie, but please go through the trouble of watching it. You may find it confusing due to some technical points but you don't really need to stress about it, just understand the core theme and you will be set.

In general I think anime has 2 genres, 1 the series, like - naruto, AOT, Demon slayer, where the writes have lot of ground to play on, but movies have time restictions, which is sometime good and bad, good as in no/little time is wasted and they generally do link with the real life moment/emotions. Lot more to say but con't find words.

Just watch it.

Why is the rating of this movie so bad? This movie is amazing. The time exploration is very relevant. The character development is excellent. And the title is perfect. Please help raise the rating so that it is at least equal to "Your Name."

Don't judge just because you don't like time travelers.

Please, everyone, watch this movie; I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I don't know why its rating is bad, but believe me, this movie is definitely worth watching.

And this is a continuation of the first movie. You must watch the first movie because it greatly influences this one. This is a very good time-travel anime film after Steins;Gate.

If you don't know yet, there is a sister movie called "To Me, The One Who Loved You" which released on the same day as this one in Japan. I will watch that one next and edit this review after that.

Why? Because, as a standalone movie, I didn't get much from this one alone. It was thought-provoking, and touching at times, but above all else: confusing and leading nowhere. It really felt like I was watching a sequel or spin off, because there was just SOME information missing to make what was happening on the screen (especially after the first half) make any sense.

My guess is that you have to watch both movies back-to-back. I will update you guys after I have done so :) As off now: not recommended to anyone except people who enjoy a philosophical essay about future technological advancement. Because that was all the movie could be for me.
