Psychic School Wars

It felt like a forced storyline made to fit a particular narrative that wasn't so appealing. The story was pretty boring and felt like just an attempt to please the romantic inclinations of 15 year old kids. There was no back or explanation behind why certain things happened and we were left stranded and a lot of things seemed senseless. Characters felt unreal and the character development was very poor in case if every character except for the male lead.  Animation, sound and over all visuals were pretty good.

*Minor spoilers and statements that make no sense if you haven't had your mind half f*cked by this movie ensue. Enter at your own risk* The supernatural junkie in me could not resist the name of this particular movie, and thus began my adventure with this piece. From the get-go, a lot of things made little to no sense, but the story just rolled with it. You didn't know that Kenji was a pervert in love with an large chested fourteen year old and has a neighbor that secretly loves him with fantastical gymnastic skills? Well, YOU DO NOW. The story had potential, but it had no explanation. As I watched through it, I found myself saying, "So I guess this is just happening now." Who is the main character? How does Kouji know Ryoichi? Is Kenji from the future? Is Natsuki from the future? Why do psychics thrive on the moon? What..? Such beautifully animated dreamlike sequences could not explain what was going on between any of the characters. What even happened after Kenji (comically) gained his psychic powers? It was all like, "WE MUST FIGHT!" and then it was all like "LET'S GO TO THE BEACH DURING A TYPHOON!" What does it MEAN? Is their some significance I am missing?? All this movie did was make me feel some sort of way, and raise more questions- in addition to leaving my dormant fourteen year old heart broken over the loss of love. Like, no, Kahori you cannot go into the future to follow your first love. Your mom will be devestated. Don't be selfish. And did Kenji or Natsuki die/ almost die at some point? Those fireworks, man, I know them feels, gurl.  DESPITE THIS, I can't hate this movie. I have this strict rule that I will enjoy something as long as I like one of the characters, and despite the nonsense that was a presented plot (which I am sure is butchered and condensed compared the original work), I thorougly enjoyed the candid fourteen year old love aspect of this film, even if the supernatural themes fell a bit flat. Just cut it out, and you have a cute little romantic slice of life, we don't need psychics- although the time travel could have been a good touch.  All in all, this movie just makes you confused- and not the kind of confused that you can figure out after you sit down and think about it. Oh no, this is more like the kind of confused that makes you want to go to wikipedia and hope that the entire synopsis is somewhere because you are infuriated by the lack of sense making. BUT, if a movie leaves that much of an impact on you, that yearning to find out more, than it can't be that bad.

sound was not at correct timing when I watched it. Very off. Not sure if always this way, though so rated 2 instead of 1. Story took a very long time to unveil the plot. The romance is never finished at all. The happy ending <spoiler>doesn't occur until after the credits, leaving viewers sad if they d not wait until after the credits</spoiler>. Animation was normal. The mc should have noticed his neighbors feelings at some point. He seemed dense. It makes no sense why cell phones were ever banned.
