This series is extremely invested in telling sad stories that technically aren’t real within the universe of the tale. That’s a bit of a hard sell for me, but I can definitely see the appeal. I do enjoy the sort of distant, string-theory style time travel going on here. It’s not really “time travel” in the traditional sense, but it stays consistent with what we’ve seen since episode 1 of season 1. Our boy’s heroic effort here feels completely in line with his character, and Mai’s love was definitely amplified. I’ll leave it there in case you haven’t seen the movie.

I happened to watch this movie in the week after I had a kidney transplant while recovering and booooooy did it hit hard lol. So it's hard for me to evaluate from an objective angle.

BTW some cultural context for this movie, Japan has one of the lowest organ donation rates among developed countries by a lot, due to like, old religious and superstitious reasons

The next installment especially is much more grounded in how it's told so I think you'll have an easier time connecting with it hopefully, it was something I appreciated quite a bit when I first watched it

This is one of those movies/stories that'll either hit you or it won't, for kinda the reasons you've given. And it's okay if it became difficult to find yourself invested in. While obviously it was nothing as extreme as this, I once as a male faced an "impossible choice" of sorts that involved a lot of conflicting feelings of protective "duty" vs happiness, so this one struck me pretty hard and had me kind of a miserable wreck at its 2/3 point. But to each their own. One thing that might help to keep in mind with how "neatly" things were resolved is that this was a story arc that was originally smack in the middle of the original light novels. But during development everyone felt it was the emotional/thematic high point for the overall story, so they decided to skip over it, re-work a few things in the rest of the season, and then give this arc the full time and space it needed as a sequel movie. It works as a conclusion, but since it also was originally the middle of the story, and is in a way "just another demonstration of puberty syndrome," it did ultimately need to kind of end in a compatible way.

Side note: If you enjoyed the characterization and writing (especially character writing), the author's earlier work "The Pet Girl of Sakurasou" might be worth putting on your radar. It's higher on the fan-service at first (and overall anime BS level), but it's not a fantasy like this -- just a grounded slice of life of a lot of characters trying to find themselves, and it really shows his knack for personality-laced dialog and group casts.

I have a similar feeling about this show in the sense that the storyline, characters, humor etc.. are good, but the lack of an actual "world logic" makes me kind of uninvested. I dont ask for realism, other anime are unrealistic but still stick to a consistent logic within the show which makes your brain accept their world, meanwhile this show is like: puberty syndrom -> random quantum physics analogy (which many time they dont even stick to that analogy) to "explain" the "magic system" of the world -> whatever conclusion the author wanted. Not a bad anime but yeah when it feels like the author can push any outcome and that most consequences aren't actual consequences, its hard to feel emotionnally or intellectually invested in what's happening
