It's nice to have recommendations go both ways imo.
I did end up finding Ao Haru Ride and watched it last night. I liked it a lot better then L*DK the story seemed to make more sense to me. The story seemed more complete and I just understood the relationship more then L*DK. I got a better feel for the main characters. There relationship and personalities made scene. I'm sure it left stuff out but I didn't really find myself asking many questions at the end. They could of told us more about the co-characters and what happened to the mains after but even a few of the 20+ ep ones I've watched left me with more questions about what happen then Ao Haru Ride did. Over all I'd say it was a well done movie and as a movie is about the same time as one ep of a drama that's makes it all the more worth the watch. It's one I wouldn't have minded being a small series. 13 eps would have gave them more time to get some pointless scene in there lmao. The movie didn't say one thing about the main girl family and I don't think it wast really needed in the move but think if it was a longer drama/anime they should at least tell you she has one lol. Scene of them having dinner once or something. Now that I think about it I don't think they ever even showed you where she lived or if it was with anyone.
I had
to look it up as Blue Spring Ride to find it. It
however was a movie I shouldn't have watched yet.
Not really a Spoiler per say but...
Even tho none of the main actors got sick or anything the person that did get sick was the same as the family member I mentioned earlier so was to close to home atm but was still a good movie just got me a little sadder then it would have at a different time.
I think the saddest I've got from a drama was Our Happy Time tho idk why. I didn't find it the best drama but the ending really got to me.
Hope links are ok here. Here's the link so if anyone watch to watch it they can. The link didn't seem to work for me I left it but if you go to dramago . com and look for Blue Spring Ride you can find it.
