Just saw the movie. In the middle of it I was called out my parents who wanted to eat lunch. They were talking about a Christmas party coming up.

It's April and we don't celebrate Christmas.

Completely scared the crap out of it. I paid attention a lot to see if there was any other connections between their conversation and what I was watching, but there were none. Still, crazy coincidence.

These are my reactions to the movie:

Spoiler for MAJOR SPOILERS:

5/5, a stunning job by Kyoto Animation.

I cannot wait for an English release. I loved the dub of the first season so much I actually did buy it. I seriously am excited.

It's April and we don't celebrate Christmas. Completely scared the crap out of it. I paid attention a lot to see if there was any other connections between their conversation and what I was watching, but there were none. Still, crazy coincidence. These are my reactions to the movie: Spoiler for MAJOR SPOILERS: If there is anything to restore my faith in the future of the anime industry outside of Hayao Miyazaki, it would be this movie. The animation was absolutely amazing. The connections between this and the show were extremely smart and well done, especially with the first episode of season 2 (the only part of season 2 I liked). I never thought I'd hear Kyon contemplate becoming a Muslim or a Zoroastrian either, haha. I somehow managed to go all this time avoiding spoilers on what happens in "The Disappearance" chapters of the light novel. I'm glad I did, and the wait was well worth it. Now don't get me wrong I have some complaints about the movie. Most notably its use of real life images instead of animation at certain parts, especially the final scene. But I still loved it and am willing to overlook those flaws since the rest of the movie was worth it. The ending scene with the two Mikuru was quite interesting as well. This movie really belongs to Nagato though. We finally get an extreme in-depth look at who she is and how, despite her perfect and emotionless demeanor, she too has feelings. Now the show itself has hinted at this, but the movie seals the deal. 5/5, a stunning job by Kyoto Animation. I cannot wait for an English release. I loved the dub of the first season so much I actually did buy it. I seriously am excited.
