Some movies are never worth to write a review, I learned that today!
Second Chance.........
We all wish that, to have a second chance to renew our life again.But do we really get that?Probably never.All we get to run in a new way, not looking behind.Road is pretty big right?
This movie made me regret on what I did to my life, my failure, my hope, everything.
Again it made me feel that nothing is never over.We have to live on.Doesn't matter roads we have passed were broken.We still need to keep walking!
"No need to kill yourself when you are already dead" :-)
Hence, I continued to live like a Zombie from now on........

Great movie regarding mental health💫 and commitng suicide. Simply people who die by suicide don't want to end life they just want to end pain but it only passes the pain to people who cares for you.
People are no just monochromatic, they all have so many colors...it's fine to have many beautiful colors, ugly colors... And it's good to be colorful!!
All I learnt is that one good thing can change everything for someone, just have to good side of life.... 🌼

First, the story is kind of unique. Maybe too melancholly. But, the story has wonderfully been drawn into scenes and animations. Well, the animation itself is not perfect, but still can represented what the story want to tell.
Second, the perspective of story is also a great idea. It is a thoughtful imagination that been translated into scene by scene. Somehow, I just really appreciated the story been telling from this perspective.

Not every anime movie has to be good.
This one has very good backgrounds but they look like photographs. Not even that is good.
We have to be critical sometimes. Not all full length anime movies have to be good, even when they try/fake to be deep, they are terribly shallow and weird. Maybe people can think it's because Japanese people lacks sensibility, but as you can see on Ghibli's films, it is nothing like that. This one is a terribly boring, ilogical film, that fakes to be a great movie. I give it a three start because the artists at least did a good job.
- the plot does not advance at all.
- feelings are all ankward. It doesn't make sense why he behaves the way he does. How he talks to people and why he hurts others.
- animation in sometimes very very bad.
- the motivation of the main character is never explained. His coldness is also never explained.
- the reason why he gets friendly put of the blue with his only friend, when others treat him the same way, and why he laughs at him anyway, is never explained.
- the reason why he is cruel with the rest does not make sense.
- fake feelings, cheesy. Anime is in general that way but this one goes too far.

This movie is about a soul that gets a second chance to reform from its deadly sin and earn a rebirth by inhabiting the body of a teenager, Makoto, who committed suicide. The movie covers the pursuit of the soul to find out why Makoto attempted suicide and his own deadly sin to reform.
The story has a good plotline to make an intriguing, inspiring movie with high emotions. The story arc is written well as the soul tries to learn about Makoto, his family, his usual routine, and how his relationship with everyone. There were some good add-ons like, the interaction of the soul and the guiding angel, Purapura with their difference, others reacting to the change of Makoto's character, his realisation of life's importance and to cherish it even how bad things turn out, the soul makes the first friend for Makoto, the soul finding his deadly sin and the reason of Makoto's suicide.
The climax was satisfactory and inspiring, with a major reveal of the guiding angel's final words to the soul. The drawbacks of the film are the slow pacing and narration dull the fulfilling experience. The scenes of the soul neglecting the few characters instead of dealing with them were monotonous.
The Voice acting was good as they emote their emotions and make them connect with me. The animation and frames were good. The music was minimal, the emotions would have heightened if it had been used well.
In conclusion, I like this movie as it describes the importance of life and inspires me to cherish life without making any wrong decisions. I recommend everyone to watch this movie once.
