Sweet High School Movie
I like the character growth in the FL. It's the typical story, but they covered bullying well and it was mostly about friendship. The first love feels were there too. The music was appropriate and didn't annoy me, which it usually does. The scenery was nice and the production was decent. It's not 10/10 because the friends of FL didn't really have much closure of their storylines, it was left open. This would've been better if it was a series of episodes, to give the storyline more depth and completion.Good watch overall.

And the movie was (I have to say surprisingly) well done!
I didn't expect it to amaze me since I liked the anime so
much and therefore I thought it could only be the opposite.
Boy I was wrong! The acting, the pace, the whole atmosphere.
And the actors are really well chosen. All of them are cute and
really good actors and actresses, plus they really resemble
the anime characters ;) All of it made this a movie worth another
watch. I'd recommend it to every romance fanatic! This is a must!

Teenage love is hard
Didn't watch the manga and I think I would like it. But I liked this movie.The pace is good and needed.
The story is about a high school student, Sawako, that as almost zero self-esteem and don't know how to handle it. She met Kazehaya in a crossing and he fells in love for her. He's very popular and he will love her and care for her in secret.
Then, two friends of Kazehaya, Chizuru and Ayane, 2 strong and misfits girls started a friendship relation with Sawako.
The movie tells us the evolution of the four friends, the growing of Sawako's personality and self love, and the realization of true love
It is sweet and warm.
For me, even if it deals with teenage love and high school students, I find almost unreal some behaviour, specially Sawako. But I find sometimes difficult to understand how love relations are portrait in Japanese movies.
I find Japanese women beautiful and strong, but often portrait as submissive and that is very strange for me... Even in a male driven society...

The Ghost Sloth
This is the story about the Sloth like girl who looks like a ghost whenever she gets nervous who after a long time of being left in the dark finally meets some decent people who seem to like both Sloths and ghosts on a Journey to self acceptance I guess...On this journey we meet the typical popular bundle of energy guy, two bad ass girls a very strange teacher and some guy who is there to make others jealous and just look sweet. We alos meet the not so nice girl, some mean girls and a bunch of idiot guys... Who get told off for being idiots.
A lovely story at that with sweet gazes, lovely lines a bundle of self doubt...
Though the romance here is consistent and sweet, the main attraction in this movie is the friendships between the girls and mr bubbly.
I am not really sure about the function of the parants but a tree seems to play a big role in this.
Definitely a movie worth watching... for the awkward, the bubbly and the friendship lovers out there.

Had me crying tears of joy by the end
Just to clarify I have never seen the anime. I have recently been watching more live-action movies in Asian culture and landed on this because I heard it was a good romance film. I normally don't write reviews for movies or tv shows, but this movie was fantastic. It had me interested the entire way through. Even though some parts of the plot were predictable they still handled it very well. Not only does this movie keep you interested in the main story but you also really feel invested in the supporting characters relationships. I don't want to spoil anything major but one thing that really made me happy was the end credits where they show a bit more to give closure on other characters that I was curious about when the movie ended. The only bad thing I could point out in this film is that the kids that are seen teasing Kuronuma kind of just disappear. The teasing and bullying kind of just stop out of nowhere. I think it might have to do with her pulling her hair up and out of her face mid-way through the film but I have no idea it just seemed kind of abrupt to me. That still doesn't take away from how good this film was. All in all, very well made and I highly suggest this to anyone looking for a good romance movie. Hands down one of the best Japanese films I have watched.After doing more research I have found that Haruma Miura the actor that played Kazehaya in this film passed away in 2020. May he rest in piece. He play his role in this film perfectly and I know a lot of people loved him and his work very much

Ok.. vou ser sincera na minha anotação sobre essa adaptação.
Quero deixar claro que eu sou muito fã do anime "Kimi ni Todoke", que em si já tem toda a influência na minha alta classificação.Primeiro aos pontos fortes: Eu gostei da escolha do elenco! Os atores se encaixaram bem na representação dos personagens, principalmente Chizuru e Ayane rsrs, elas estavam muito iguais.
Outro ponto fortíssimo é que é KIMI NI TODOKE né meu filho, pra uma adaptação merecer uma nota baixa ela tem que ser insuportável de assistir mesmo!
De pontos fracos: sinceramente, não gostei do desfecho. Ele fugiu muito tanto do anime, quanto do mangá, e deixou o relacionamento deles muito em aberto também. Outra coisa foi que algumas cenas foram muito vergonhosas e exageradas. Mas isso é até compreensível, porque algumas cenas quando são levadas ao pé da letra do anime para "o real", tendem a ser assim.
Enfim, eu acho que não recomendaria como um "filme muito bom!". Seria mais um, se você é fã do anime, tenta assistir a adaptação.
Concluído por mim: 21/01/22

There are a few slight differences from the manga that make this movie unsatisfying. The way Sawako wears her uniform accentuates her character, but in the movie she wears it differently, which doesn't fit her personality. It seems like they changed it just to make her look cuter, but her true cuteness comes from her personality. There are alsp a few moments when she is out of character. The actor for Kazehaya is good, but in the manga, he is more youthful, more like a real high school boy. They also changed the plot just to make everything more dramatic. The whole point is to express the characters' feelings and development, but this added drama did nothing to enhance that. The last thing is that this movie is missing the comedy that is in the manga and anime, which was one of the things that made the characters so likeable and the story so fun to watch. Though the movie had these issues, it still did a good job portraying the characters. It just isn't as compelling and loveable as the manga and anime. I think people that haven't seen the manga or anime might like it, and that is probably what this movie was made for. Fans of the manga like me might not get as much enjoyment out of this because of the differences. It feels kind of like a different story. Cet avis était-il utile?
