Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu Movie

A solid 8/10 for a compilation film. They managed to present two different perspectives, and I liked that. It’s not bad for a recap, and it even includes a few extra scenes. Kensuke Ushio shines as always; it was a delight to listen to his work on the big screen. The animation is quite solid/good. In the scene that many people will recognize, which was adapted into this movie, the CGI isn’t distracting at all and is well done. There are some slightly static shots, but they don’t last long and don’t feel uncomfortable or ruin the experience in any way. The series maintains its realistic direction in theadditional scenes, which I really appreciate and which fits perfectly with what the story is trying to convey. I’m not sure whether the third season will keep this same direction or follow the original scene order, but this aspect worked very well. It felt very fast-paced, and that’s a good thing. Despite being a summary, the pacing was perfect, and personally, I barely noticed the 1 hour and 40 minutes of runtime. The movie and the series differ in one aspect: while the series focuses on a more realistic and slow approach—exploring the protagonist’s insecurities and gradually highlighting Yamada’s personality—the movie leans more toward presenting a somewhat sweet, romantic relationship. We know that what defines BokuYaba isn’t sweetness, but rather the natural and unique interactions between its protagonists. Still, I don’t mind—it’s clearly a Valentine’s-type movie and fulfills its purpose without any issues. I highly recommend watching the series first. It’s much more complete and gives a far better idea of what the story truly is about. Even so, if you want a fresh recap with a few extra scenes, it’s a good experience.

Español/spanish. Si estás dudando en ir a ver esta película, te diría que le des una oportunidad. Aunque es un recopilatorio, las escenas están muy bien seleccionadas y colocadas, y la música añadida complementa perfectamente la narrativa. Mi única crítica personal sería el uso de CGI en algunas escenas finales, pero más que un fallo, es una cuestión de gusto, no arruina la experiencia. En síntesis, es una gran película que nos regala un final hermoso, una puerta abierta que posiblemente se confirme con el paso del tiempo, la tercera temporada. Shin-Ei demuestra una vez más por qué es un estudio destacado: después de tantos años,sigue cumpliendo y superándose. Si estás pensando en verla, hazlo. Te llenará de buenos recuerdos de las temporadas anteriores y te dará un “final” que deja satisfecho, haciendo que valga la pena disfrutarla, incluso siendo un recopilatorio. English/Ingles. If you’re hesitating to watch this movie, I’d say give it a chance. Although it’s a compilation, the scenes are very well selected and arranged, and the added music perfectly complements the narrative. My only personal critique would be the use of CGI in some of the final scenes, but rather than a flaw, it’s a matter of taste; it doesn’t ruin the experience. In short, it’s a great movie that gives us a beautiful ending, an open door that may eventually be confirmed with the passage of time in the third season. Shin-Ei once again proves why it’s such a standout studio: after so many years, it continues to deliver and even surpass expectations. If you’re thinking of watching it, go for it. It will fill you with fond memories of the previous seasons and provide an ending that leaves you satisfied, making it worth watching even as a compilation.

tldr: a very streamlined condensed version of the show with most of the high moments being present and well presented. I'd recommend it to people that have watched the show or for those that want a quicker more focued experience. That being said the movie has a narrative frame around it which is a story arc that comes quite late in the manga and is a very very wholesome. So there is something for everybody. People that are here for the new stuff could watch the first 5 and the last 10 minutes though. It's a compilation movie so it's trying to condense 24 episodes into1h45m. So the movie does cut several arcs out and others short. Bokuyaba always focused on quick resolutions to presented issues and didn't wallow in drama so the pacing still somewhat works. The subjective narrative high points, to me, are mostly present and the animation, sound and presentation are great. The show itself did a great job and the movie just adds onto that. There is a band sequence with music and it's not a genre I'm very familiar with but I've seen girls band cry and bocchi and I gotta say it was pretty good. Models are cg but where very fluid and not uncanny at all and the song and lyrics are great. Overall 8/10 because I just love this story so much
