The message of the film is heartwarming
Maybe because I really relate to Makoto but the story flows perfectly too, I felt all the emotions that Makoto felt and learned so much lessons from the film. It hits deep in me because I am exactly like Makoto before, though I overcome some bits of it as I grew older.
The concept of the soul called "Blank" seems to be quite confusing to me since the story never shows how the life of the soul that was assigned to Makoto looks like. It's a really interesting perspective to the viewers on how a completely different person (in this case, the new soul) would judge Makoto's life and understand his life objectively. Only thing that confuses me is the ending that says "Makoto is me" and how the Guardian would say that "decades later, you will be reincarnated as Makoto". This suggested that there would be elements of time travel in the story? And that the new soul is actually Makoto himself, just in the state where he had his confidence before?
I really wish they showed more scenes of Makoto and Akira as I believe they had a deeper relationship and less scenes of Mitsuki though I completely understand how Mitsuki would later be one of many to contribute to Makoto's death since everything is shown in Makoto's perspective.
Really happy to know about this movie that I could relate so much although I watched it late. Kento Nagao has so much potential, hope to see him in more movies and shows.
