Mixed Feelings
This movie was an OK movie and felt kinda bad/average-ish when you compare it directly to the source material. The staff wasn't able to grasp the "doki doki shoujo vibes" to the screen and some very special, intimate moments felt way more plain that they should. Since they decided to adapt the whole manga in the spawn of a movie I knew it would be rushed and watched in hope of seeing some of my favorite scenes, but since they couldn't grasp the vibes from the manga they ended up being less than ideal. One of them still made me happy though, but just because it's that good of a scene.

I think it's a good movie to introduce you to the manga and make you interested in it (hopefully? But it might push you away because it's not that good?) and I think it gets a passing grade because there isn't anything BAD about it... Although I guess first-timers would be a little taken aback by the rushiness of things. And people who read the manga like me didn't get much out of it since the feeling wasn't captured either... Uh. I was going to recommend it, but I guess I'm laying WAY more towards Mixed feelings...

But honestly, if you're reading this far, don't get me wrong. It's not a bad movie, and that's why I didn't give it a bad score. It has nice characters (or maybe one GREAT character, Yuna), the animation is good and it has some nice songs. If you want a romance to watch in a lazy afternoon, that might be it. Just don't go expecting too much and if you have more time, or if it interests you, maybe you should read the manga. The only thing that I dislike from the original OOFF is Akari's POV, just because it is so inferior to Yuuna's. I used to be super hyped for chapters that would focus on Yuuna and so tired of Akari's... Thankfully the staff noticed that too and the focus and budget went to Yuuna, which was nice (a good point of the movie, honestly), but Yuuna's romance is easily a 10/10 for me and even though the scenes weren't THAT amazing in the movie, I was still happy to see them animated. So yeah, fill your romance craving heart with some Yuuna & her loved one. Check it out if you want a romance to pass the time and just don't expect too much, you might enjoy it way more that way!
