my rating: Two variations on each of five moe character archetypes.

what possessed me: My favorite 2D lady hits the big screen. This is the kind of thing for which I can withstand the smell that accompanies a theater full of anime fans for over two hours.

what i learned: If I woke up one day in the land of questionably placed CG doorknobs, I would tear the place apart looking for my lost tsundere without a moment’s hesitation. It’s important to appreciate the ones who make life interesting, after all. Also, I like Nagato so much that I was able to enjoy a cappella.

you may also enjoy: Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo, Back to the Future and the company of odd, irreplaceable friends.

tangential thought: Because I’m against piracy of endeavors I deem creatively worthwhile, I waited until I’d already seen this movie twice before I read the fan-translated version of the novella and headed back to the box office. Yes, my Japanese remains woefully inadequate.
