Review by andoRRR

Outside of the character's names and some of their traits at the beginning, this movie has nothing to do with the source material. The manga/anime is about adolescence and slowly turning strangers into friends without them even noticing it. This movie is about bullying, broken homes and a virtual reality where all this goes away, to the point of all the aspects that made the source material great had no room in the story anymore. Some characters were completely changed (Sena's dad, who was one of the funniest characters in the manga and anime is a corrupt city council member scumbag now for example) and some were written into the story just because the director or producers thought it needed very badly written villains (a long haired student council president who wants to destroy the club, where have I seen this before...?).
