Kyoukai no Kanata Movie 2: I'll Be Here - Mirai-hen (2024)

This movie was amazing! I was a big fan of the series, so this movie was long anticipated. After six long months of waiting for the sub to be released (with the bluray/dvd release) it's finally out.

First things first, the story. They did an excellent job tying the story back together. While there was some disappointment with the ending of the series, this movie brings it all home. I was surprised by how many small points in the show were actually significant events what would be referred to in the movie. The show was a bit of a wild ride, but I absolutely love ...

Mirai-hen is out now, and I watched it. The result? Well, it could've been better.

It is impossible to say anything about the story because the first thing you watch is a major plot twist about the end of the anime series, and everything goes around that twist. A minor hint, though: the movie is full of Akihito and Mirai tears.

My problem with the anime series was its drama, and how it wanted to force you to feel sad or be sympathetic with its characters. That problem continues in this movie. As the movie takes itself seriously, the drama I really didn't like is everywhere. ...

Two words. Holy Cow.
This movie was such an elevation from the series. It had the aspects of a near perfect “Missing Piece Movie”.

- Story 8/10
Honestly, this movie made me change my 'Kyoukai no Kanata' score from 7 to 8. It makes perfect sense to do so as well. Originally, I thought that the Kyoukai no Kanata series had a happy ending, which was…. you know, too straightforward in my opinion. But as soon as the movie starts, you find out that SHE LOST HER MEMORIES!! This breaks ...

In summary, I felt that the movie was good at least, if not great. There was many drama and cutting some loose ends from the anime. Now the reason why I said some was that there's still some other loose ends which are pretty essential, and this movie has covered some, but also created more.

The story. It has many potential and they covered nearly all. Although there are some comedy, they stuck to the point, which didn't leave me hanging. They pretty much answered many questions. Personally, it was amazing, but the reason why I said "nearly all" was the fact that by the end, ...

"Wow, okay. No wonder I still felt empty after watching the series. I thought something was missing but there's actually a sequel! Nice. Maybe I'm gonna find my closure after watching this." — Or so I thought.

The 12-episode series was a supposed to be a beautiful, heartwarming, tearjerker story— if there weren't huge-ass question marks all over it. So after finding out about the sequel I thought it was a dramatic touch, the answer to all the questions left by the series. It wasn't.
Instead of giving me answers, what it gave me was even bigger questions. And ...

Surely one of the most anticipated anime movie this year for me, not to try get hyped but this movie is just awesome. I know the most people some kind don't really like about KyoAni anime production, who just give a great visual & animation but always makes some moeshit anime without giving an outstanding story and attractive progression. My opinion, if you're one of that people try to watch this movie or Hibike Euphonium, i'm sure after some reasons you're going to change your mind. Then, let's start the review:

Keep your eyes for some --SPOILERS--

It's been a long time since the last anime I seen makes me pounding (and it's been a long time too since the last review I wrote). This movie almost makes me give a perfect score for it.

Story: How they correlate with the previous movie are really exceptional, the story develop with a proper pace from begining to the end, with a suprising story line. And what more important, the ending was perferct (at least that what I thought).

Art: They've done a fabulous job as expected as the previous series, background art lookin so smooth yet the battle effect so fascinate.

Sound: The insert song sound ...

For them to wrap up the anime with this movie was just pure brilliant. Lovely movie!! It is recommended that you finish the anime first before you start this movie because it is about the events after the last scene of the anime.

Story: 9/10
The story was quite enthralling throughout the whole movie. The plot twist that started right from the start of the movie was quite unexpected. I almost got out of my seat ( not literal LOL). The buildup to climax was also done nicely, the movie tied up the loose ends and delivers the romance which I shipped for so long!! ...

The main villain’s motivations are not developed at all. The result is that the role feels more like a plot device/convenience for the more meaningful conflicts between Akihito and Kuriyama as well as Izumi and Hiroomi.

The movie continues where the series left off and brings the clarity to key plot points that were hinted to but not resolved in the 12 episode run. The key one being the ties between the cursed blood clan and Beyond the Boundary. In this sense the movie is essential viewing for any fans of the show and wraps the story up in a way that isn’t too predictable. ...

Story: Mirai-hen picks up from the ending of Kako-hen. A new supernatural force arises and threatens to break the tenuous relationship between Kanbara Akihito and an amnesic Kuriyama Mirai. It's a good story, but like the series of the anime there were a few questions that went unanswered.

Art: Amazing as always, from the bright and colorful backdrops to the details of the character's eyes.

Sound: I noticed that the artist for the ending song was also used for the opening song of the original Kyoukai no Kanata. In this perspective, the show has come full circle !

Character: Overall, the characters haven't changed much. The circumstances ...

"Is that really something you can decide for her?"

What is happiness?
For something that isn't tangible, happiness is something that is hard to describe. We can't touch, buy, or see happiness, so how do you know if what you have is genuine? How do you know if you're truly and wholeheartedly happy?

Beyond the Boundary - I'll be here touches deeply with this theme of happiness and how it affects its characters.

KyoAni is a studio that has gained a fairly large reputation over the years and has graced us with many notable series that are considered the cream of the crop in terms of art and ...

First of all: The KnK TV series is my all time favorite anime. I waited long months for the movie to come out on the internet. I had really, really high expactations. But were they fullfilled? Read more to find out.

Story 10/10
The story starts right after the ending of the anime (or rather, the extended ending of the kako-hen movie), so one year after the plot of the TV series. Hiroomi graduated from high school and took his sister's place as the head of the Nase house. Mitsuki and Akihito are in their final year. Everything else remained the same.
Except for one thing. ...

Just a disgruntled fan of the series:

God this was a let down. I guess my enjoyment of the previous series over hyped this movie. I came here thinking this is going to be great and time is just going to fly by. NOPE. Waste of time. I'm just disappointed now.

STORY: 4

Story was the most cheesiest thing ever. It is a romance drama with an action sub plot about an amnesiac girl and immortal boy. And then there's an uninteresting action sub plot. 'Cause the real plot here is the romance between Akihito and Kuriyama. The little small comedic moments was a hit and miss. Really ...

Writing this fresh out after finishing the movie.

"What is happiness?"
The quote that looks like the whole summary of the movie, but knowing Kyoukai no Kanata, the show has always managed to mess with our feels but at the end it restores our hopes and dreams (hearts) afterwards.
The movie is all about relationships, by relationships I mean Akihito and Mirai, with a tiny dash of "fighting your inner demon." Much like the series BUT MORE
Now if you were like me, unsatisfied with the ending of the series, then this movie will satisfy that possibly frustrating/emptiness in your heart.

I'm keeping this short because as a person I ...

let me judge the movie in one sentence: it is so much better than the anime!

the anime that is the story before this movie was alright. fancy art but full of plot hole and unexplained details as the story progresses. I'm sure all of you who are reading have already seen the prequel so allow me to do some complaints. firstly, who is Akihito's dad? then secondly, why is Kuriyama so bloody damn strong then finally and most importantly, where the heck did Kuriyama come back from, she literally died twice and came back from like another dimension 2 times as well! then do you ...

So recently i talked about the respective 12 episode series this movie proceeds from and how it could have been better, and how it had qualities i didn't like about it. I also commented at the end of the review that the movie could redeem these qualities but would have to be in credibly good to do so.

Dayum cuz. They pulled out the budget on this. The thing i doted about on the series is how nice the animation looked but they turn it up to 11 in this movie. They explain a lot of what you want to know at the end ...

Three words: its not unpleasant.
Well basically, a lot of the answers I had at the end of all the 12 episodes have mostly been answered. There are A LOT OF AKIRAI OTP MOMENTS AND THATS MY KIND OF SHIT AYYY. Its not a stunning 10/10, and honestly if you were look through the eyes of a non-crazy person, it would probably be a 7/10. Warning this review will be slightly biased because I am an avid fan of the knk series and I have a Mirai complex.

Story 8/10. I suggest you skip if you dislike spoilers.
The story is completely confusing if you haven't watched ...
