This review may contain spoilers
when the movie started it seemed out of place, nothing happened until this voice (that was obviously Takahashi Issei) tells the fl follow your neighbor, and suddenly there's a swooosh and the real explanation happens.
Takahashi Issei really did a great job, he was his sweet usual awkward uwu but still he gave off a great confident smart guy vibes (that's until the climax)
Kawaguchi Haruna was a sweet calm type of fl, she heard a weird request but she didn't mind it until the voice disappears and she wonders "what the heck was that". so she talks to her neighbor and he mentions a time loop theory that honestly was so simple I'm still annoyed at those cheap attempts in TKEM.
but after the cute little dates while they hunt for answers, the self conscious side of Hirano Susumu jumps out and he breaks up with her, then to no ones surprise he realizes he's indeed the voice that saved her.
so they basically have this dramatic breakup, the fl lives her normal life while waiting for her d-day and boom the ml comes like, you were right, it was me and I like you. that was soooo underwhelming
then when she asks "why did your past self save me" he goes with "it was love at 1st sight".. so they never showed that 1st time alteration. sure he liked her, but like he probably witnesses her death and he'd be heartbroken, but why did it take him a year? why did he live in her apartment? how did he even know he could talk to her?
in the 2nd attempt he says "it's a miracle" becasue after changing his own fate he runs back to her house. but what did 1st attempt Hirano Susumu do? did the old landlord know something? I wish they elaborated on that instead.
like the breakup was unnecessary, though he did need a push to change himself, becasue he wallowed in self pity too much. so they could've just said, you follow your path and I'll meet you again when I find my dream like normal mature people ;D
the whole movie kinda felt like 2010s kdrama that I was surprised it came out in 2019, but again the time alteration was nice and the acting was better~
