ThePlacePromisedInOurEarlyDays

The greatest achievement was that I ended up remembering the name (the english one if there’s a japanese one too…). Also, I just noticed there are so many words that start with R… Random, Review, Real, Rock, Rabbit, Rpeanuts and so on..

Ok, this will only be a short one. I don’t usually watch anime movies but I thought I should give it a try, note that I don’t watch anime for reviewing them, I watch anime for fun.

Ok so the graphics are awesome, the detail is incredible, is it like that with all anime movies? To be honest I got a picture of a train station on 4chan and it looked well, I was thinking when was that photographed because train stations can’t be that empty in Japan. Today I found out that the picture was actually a background in this anime, it looked so good that I thought it was real.

Now here’s the bad part, the characters, THEY’RE ALL THE SAME… You can even distinguish twins, but here I couldn’t remember the characters, usually you get used to them after watching half of the movie. By the end of the movie I barely knew who was who.

>>>SPOILERS START HERE>>>

The ending was interesting but even if it was a happy ending it still felt sad, I still had that sensation as if the main character dies or something, even if they did.

>>>AND END HERE>>>

There was something that got my attention, many things were realistic, except the tower of course but that was in a paralel universe or something (I didn’t even understand that, I was probably busy figuring out who the characters were), anyway, as I was saying, in the “real world” things were realistic, trains were trains, schools were schools, cars were cars but then there was that airplane that they built, there’s no way that thing could fly, I mean seriously, at least TRY to make it look like it could fly, I think they started with a rock as a project then made a hole in it and that was the scale model for the plane, then they built it out of tin foil or something, I thought it’ll fall apart. But that’s the fantasy part I guess.

Overall it was a nice movie, worth getting in 1080p, I’d give it a

7.5/10
