Synopsis

Today, the world is in turmoil due to an "unprecedented catastrophe." Suzushirou, a young man who lives as a newspaper scholarship student in Tokyo, had a secret that no one could tell. An incident that happened in the summer of my third year of high school made it possible for me to stop the time around me regardless of my will. One day, Suzushiro meets a person who can share the secret for the first time. Like myself, Nazuna is a girl who has been hurt in her heart and has been able to stop her time. Suzushiro finds out that she is being used for crimes by her brother Seri, and reaches out impulsively. "Let's run away with me!" Can they move the time they have stopped again?

I'll just start by addressing the animation. I can get over the animation, so it didn't really impact the score, but the animation is weird. It is basically Sonic Adventures DX animation. Very clunky, hands not really holding things, hair going through shoulders, etc. The backgrounds and characters were not in the same style which made them look out of place. While the animation was odd, it could have been overlooked if the story was good. I think the movie had a good premise/idea behind it, it wasn't executed well at all. There are lots of plot holes, a lack of explanations, and no follow-through.I was more confused by the end than when I started. There was too much focus on trivial details that didn't matter using up screen time that could have filled in plot holes. Very little got answered in this movie and the execution was poor leaving the audience trying to catch up with what is happening despite the slow pace. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this unless you are just bored and looking for something to watch.

Where shall I even start Simple explanations: not recommended, story is more than boring and nothing interesting happens, don't bother watching it. At first when I saw it the image looked interesting so i decided to give a shot and see if is good. The animation is similar to Ajin and Ghost in a shell by Netflix but mostly Ajin. I wouldn't even call this anime more like model movement. But I'm not here to talk about the animation its the story that needs to be rewritten. I mean they had people to write a script spend money on animation Testing See if certain majority likes it and whatcan be improved on And release it Not a single person has said hell no we will lose money on this not gain anything. I mean Ajin at least it had a interesting story and got to the point, where as this need to be rewritten from scratch as story was Boring, had no inner explanation of why things are happening, the way how characters reacted reminded me how films are made in todays world. Unatural. I've wasted my time watching this and I regret it. As mentioned before this story has holes that need to be filled as there is no feelings to any characters. I'm not mad, I feel sorry for people voicing and animating this to make this. Score 3. It was 5 after I've watched 40min of it already and its 105 min long

If you want to experience a series/movie about pausing time, skip over this one. This if over an hour long of nothingness. Any other series you watch about time will be 100 times better than this. The animation put me off at first, but I can look past poor animation if there's good plot. The problem with this is that the plot isn't really there. It's the most bare-bone plot line there is. The characters aren't memorable, so it makes all the little jankines of the animation shine like crazy. There's so much little movements that's not necessary and I keep staring them down. Ithink its from how the CGI is when they made the movie, but its jarring and feels TOO expressive (even with how little emotions the faces show) The ending doesn't answer a lot of questions either. They leave it kind of open for interpretation but I think that's more of a cop out. It gets a 4 because an attempt was made. There were people behind the scenes that probably cared about this project, but clearly not enough for something like this.

How can this be so bad, animation somewhat acceptable (although you gotta overlook a lot of "details") but you can't even say it's a good or unique theme/script badly adapted. its a not so uncommon theme about powers and meddling with time in a really bad script that does not make the effort to explain anything for the sake of the viewer while pacing/musicalizing build ups that, except for one time, go to nothing because they don't even know how to go though the mental gymnastics that's in this and the more annoying piece are the characters that do not have consistency to the pointthat it feels like the narrative is forcing them to act a certain way just to advance or configure the plot even when it meant contradicting dialogs or previous scenes/story settings. Just really bad and not even "so bad that it's good", there's a lot of far worst films that are better for brainrot if that's what you are looking for.
