Sweet :) Been looking forward to this. A couple fun points about the Light Novels vs the Anime - In the LN, we find out all the way back in Logical Witch (Futaba Arc) that Shoko has a heart condition, and she even fully adopts Hyate then. Sakute finds her after he goes to the hospital (during the storm). Also, after Kaede gets her memories back, Shoko-san never leaves Sakuta's appartment. So instead of finding a note, Mai finds Shoko herself! It makes perfect sense why the anime did it differently, but I was still facinated by the changes.

Great reaction, and such a great movie. Shoko is such an interesting character, isn't she? Her entire goal was to save Sakuta. Early on the flirty behavior in front of my was ultimately a distraction - she was trying to prevent Sakuta & Mai from figuring it out. Yes, some of it was because of her feelings, but ultimately she was deliberately causing conflict as misdirection. When it came down to the date - she new that Sakuta would chose wherever Mai was, and was trying to trick him into being at the wrong location to avoid the accident. She had no clue that Mai would show up to protect Sakuta. The flower that Sakuta drew is a common drawing that teachers use for good work or perfect scores in early/elementary education. More light novel trivia: The Shoko that received Mai's heart is not Shoko Makinohara. She's Shoko Asusagawa. Sakuta notices a wedding band and quickly realizes that in that future, they eventually married. He tells her something to the effect of "Make sure to take care of that husband of hers, and make sure he can sill smile" Futaba confirms she ordered a 'lighter meal' because Sakuta complained she was heavy after riding double on the bike with her to the beach during Logical Witch. Also, Sakuta tried writing on the board when he was half in the present, those writings suddenly appeared after Koga finds him. Also this movie cover two light novels - Dreaming Girl, and Rascal Does Not Dream of His First Love. You can easily guess where the first one ends. The second is like 95% heartbreak with 5% pure joy. The movie Mai makes in the 'new' timeline replaces the horror film that Sakuta watches with Nodoka during Siscon Idol. How Shoko survived gets explained in an after credit scene during one of the next movies. It's probably easy to figure out, so I'll let you find it unles you want to know (or figure it out for your own) The clues are there at the end. Thanks again! I could go on forever, as I love this series & especially this movie. Looking forward to the next one!

You misunderstood: Shoko was never being selfish from the beginning, every thing she’s done was to save Sakuta and die herself instead: what Sakuta realized when he started running is that Shoko lied about the location of the accident in order to save him, she invited him to the location of the accident so that Sakuta couldn’t invite Mai there and invite her somewhere else for Christmas eve, and then told Sakuta “on your way to meet with Mai you get into an accident”, but it was a lie, since thanks to Shoko’s “manipulation” Sakuta changed the meeting spot with Mai. Everything she did from the very beginning was a manipulation, but it was a manipulation to save Sakuta and die herself, she was never trying to stay alive, just the opposite. That’s why when she sees the Sakuta from the future she says “I’m sorry, I must have failed”.

Ngl When I first watched this movie I didn't appreciated it enough because I didn't have the first season fresh. Initially I didn't conceive this series as a "time travel" one (even though Koga's arc could be considered one) so I felt the plot was a bit too convuluted and didn't pay much attention to it, so I focused mainly on the characters. Every plot point I didn't understand I justified it as "time travel shenanigans" even tough they were simulations technically. However after rewatching it a couple of times and understanding it better I think this movie has really good writing, it went from a 7/10 to a 9/10 on my scale. Honestly is just as great as one of my favourites: Steins;Gate (heavily recommended if we are talking about similar concepts).

There isn't much else to add that the other comments didn't convey. This is easily one of my most favorite anime movies. I really enjoyed your reaction, and I'm looking forward to the next movie!

There are so many details the movie had to leave out for time reasons. They had to cram two books plus some scenes from previous books into essentially a 4 episode length film. I won't lie, the next movie is a bit of a slog. It's the only book I struggled to get through. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if it had come earlier in the series. But followed Dreaming Girl was a big ask.

I think I chose the perfect time to join your Patreon (a couple weeks late, but you get my point): one of the most excellent piece of anime writing out there, and your smart perception and reading of the unfolding events makes it a real pleasure to watch this crafted gem with you. :-) To me this is Takopi level of excellence, in making one appreciate joyful happy(-pi) times through pain and challenges. Right, when do we start the "Mai is best girl, and Futaba's second best girl" club? :-P
