Makato Shinkai has become the Christopher Nolan of anime world atleast for anime movies and well undoubtedly so, because he does create gems. But having that title has almost made it a selling point for newcomers rather than for the actual content and inevitable the fame and power he holds as a director has resulted in the popularity of the movie than for the true reasons such as the storyline, characters, animation and soundtrack. The characters in the film personally aren't ones that I have fully grown attachment towards nor did I hold strong emotions towards them but there were no evidently unlikeable characters. The story of the movie would be something out of the world for new viewers of Makato Shinkai's creations and therefore would come as other-wordly but for the frequents, there was just something missing, the plot did not extend beyond what we hoped for and there were no surprise elements as such. It was more of a feel-good movie but the soundtrack and the animation really set the movie to another bar as it makes an ordinary story quite extraordinary. I recommend people who haven't watched it in the theatres yet to go watch it in the cinemas if it is still running because the opening sequence until the title is shown, will give you goosebumps and the music by RADWIMPS just never disappoints. 4/5 only because the story could have been far better knowing how much talent Makato Shinkai and his team hold.

It hasn't even been one day till it's been released on Netflix and I have finished binge-watching the show already! It's unlike any other k-drama i have watched. It has confusing but compelling plot-line that hooks you from the start! Every single person has played their character exceptionally and despite the end of the season, I really hope they plan on doing a second season as 10 episodes seem too less for such a great story. A must watch drama!!!

I haven't even finished watching the first season and this being my first review written I must say I am already hooked. i love the mystery and suspense genre of the show and the fact that there is spontaneous comedy involved in it, its just a perfect cherry on top. Despite the plot being scripted, there is a lot of room for the characters to act out freely and the open dialogue between the characters is just hilarious. I enjoyed watching their camaraderie increase through each episode which brought through a really entertaining show for the viewers! To anyone who loves mystery, thriller, suspense and comedy genres, its a must watch!
