Synopsis:
Norimichi and Yusuke are both infatuated with their classmate Nazuna. But when Nazuna decides to run away from home, it's Norimichi whom she seeks solace to. After their plans go awry, Norimichi discovers a magical ball that has the power to manipulate time and give them a second chance, but each reset brings new complications.
Review:
At first, I thought this was just some cute anime where a couple has some significant history with a fireworks show or something. Poor Yusuke, he was never an option. Anyways, halfway through the movie I got disappointed with the sudden sci-fi defying-time-and-space elements. The scene where they climb a high tower and then get highly delusional underwater left me confused AF, it totally ruined the dramatic feels of the movie. It was a supernatural element you didn't need. They suddenly got high on fireworks or something then it eventually loss it's substance.
I gotta give another star for the ear candy music though (click video below).
