Sep 9, 2022 HaiKaneDesu Mixed Feelings Funny ***SPOILER FREE*** What was really a shame was the pacing of the film - incredibly abrupt (short movie-time problems…) and a lot of the scenes felt really off because of it. I haven’t read the original novel, but you can tell a lot of small but important details have been cut off. As a result, some ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 10, 2023 absolute_tk Recommended Tunnel to Summer is a movie anime that has so much sentimental value, with great key messages hidden under minimal storytelling (but captivating) waiting to be discovered! In my opinion, Tunnel to Summer is undeniably will be one of interesting best 2023 anime candidates to being considered. Based on my experience, watching Tunnel to Summer without knowing any storyline & its trailer would provide an exceptionally captivating experience and this will grows on you If have chances of finish reading its original Light Novel & Manga Because the main storyline and key messages of both novel and anime is almost the same. The differences are in details + ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 1, 2023 Mr_Solus Not Recommended Informative I'll keep it short. I read the light novel and honestly this was a REALLY disappointing adaptation. Scenes were changed, entire CHARACTERS were basically cut out and had no screentime, and even the entire MAIN THEME OF THE BOOK WAS COMPLETELY GONE! Please I beg of you just read the light novel and not this movie, it really doesn't do the source material justice... The only plus is the art and animation and even that doesn't matter because what ISN'T eye candy nowadays. I also didn't like the voice acting, everyone sounded like a robot and spoke quicker ...

May 27, 2023 KaratoskiCylus Recommended This is a fantastic story for which the audience's response embodies the key messages of the movie itself. To begin with the elementary components, the fine-tuned visuals are nothing less than awe-striking, with the color tones perfectly corresponding with the auras of various significant locations in the movie. From the tranquil environment of Niizaki to the stunning interior of the Urashima tunnel, the shift in visual portrayals of different atmospheres gives the viewer an almost otherworldly experience that wholly flourishes the beauty and surrealness of magical realism. On the topic of magical realism, the concept of the dilation of time and space has been a ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 27, 2023 thehornedrat Mixed Feelings Well-written Read the Light novel or wait for the anime adaptation? So, alot of big scenes in the LN were cut....alot of these bits were what made the LN award winning in the first place, and thus landed an anime adaptation...only to be cut out? Now it feels like and ordinary rom-com story....why??? Here's what made the LN such a delight to read: The unresolved grief and regret of Kaoru is more superficial in the movie. Does not feel that big of a deal, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 30, 2023 eleven_exists Mixed Feelings Well-written "The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes" is a movie that derails from its light novel counterpart, and is a masterclass in ruining your source. However, whilst the movie has its (very large) issues, both as an adaptation and as a standalone, it's still worth a shot if the synopsis is interesting to you. [Story] 4/10 - The story is fine if you're an anime-only. But, coming from the novel, I don't think I can even begin to describe how much is cut. Entire fleshed out characters get stripped to a couple of scenes, the two main character's motives aren't shown properly, and don't even ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 31, 2023 R_2_R Recommended "Live in the moment" If there's one thing Kaoru Touno regrets the most, is his last words to his little sister, "I hate you too". He suffers over the fact that his little sister died while trying to catch a beetle for her brother. If there's one thing Anzu Hanashiro fears the most, is being ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 30, 2024 jdodd91 Mixed Feelings Funny Informative Let's get the positives out of the way first. The movie has some great art and soundtrack and solid ideas explored in the story. The main problem for me here is in the way it tells its story and it's pacing. The tunnel element is a good hook but is often just used as a plot device to push a relationship to evolve. Like most things in this movie it isn't given enough time to breath and really explain how it works to viewers, we just get the basic rules. This is similar to the characters where they end up feeling extremely bland as ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 22, 2024 AL1- Not Recommended I was reading the book and halfway through I learned there was a movie. perfect timing too cause I'm trying to get back into anime so I just turned this on. The thing I noticed first was the very pretty animation. The detail in everything is insane. In one of the opening scenes, there's a shot of a flower, and the amount of detail within that flower was crazy, and the scene of the trees in Urashima Tunnel was gorgeous. The movements within the characters are exceptionally smooth as well, and the overall plot is intriguing, but some plot points are glossed over or never ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 2, 2023 Halcyon13 Not Recommended It's a bit of a disaster when a romantic film struggles to depict the romance itself, and paired with highly impersonal dialogue, the substance is thinly stretched. Natsu e no Tunnel, Sayonara no Deguchi occasionally remained on the heels of finding a centralized theme to latch onto, but once we've repeatedly witnessed the rehashed ideas of the tunnel and its purpose, there's not much else occurring to warrant interest. Hachimoku's original story is relatively predictable; even within hidden specifics, the outcomes are relatively one-dimensional. There is never an instance of genuinely palpable tension due to the erratic nature of supernatural phenomena, rather everything is somewhat ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 8, 2024 Mr_Popepo Recommended This movie probably had the best use of a plot device for a Romance genre with inexplicable supernatural elements. No real big issues with the movie other than it was a little rushed and I was not the biggest fan of the male lead voice actor but these are not the fault of the original material. It's a shame that I watched the movie first because I have a feeling I would had thoroughly enjoyed the original. The movie felt like a sparknotes version of the entire story in a way, and given the foundation and overall plot, I can see the LN being a masterpiece. Haven't ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 13, 2024 AeroGunz Not Recommended “The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes” is what happens when You have a cool idea and a shitty execution. One day a young boy finds a mysterious tunnel filled with strange glowing trees. Turns out this tunnel is the tunnel from the urban legend that says that it can grant wishes in exchange 100 years will pass in the outside world. Spending just a couple of minutes in it and finding something from his past, he discovers that the time really does pass with different speed in it. Soon a Young girl finds out about this tunnel as well. Both wanting to have ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 2, 2023 Soulwarfare Recommended This is a typical boy meets girl story with a supernatural twist of a tunnel that can grant your wish but every 3 seconds in the tunnel equates to 2 hours outside. Just from this premise alone, you can guess exactly what is going to happen. The plot is incredibly predictable with tons of cliche tropes. However, what it lacks in plot, it makes up for it in everything else. The art style and characters are visually appealing. The interactions between our main leads are enjoyable to watch. The animation is gorgeous. The soundtrack is terrific. The theme and message are incredibly heartfelt. The ending ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 30, 2023 Cyrose Recommended Funny There was a word for what we called a way of life, without which love cannot exist. Nowadays, this word is just a word that lost its value. The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes is a movie that evokes the significance of that precious word, and also encourages us to live by it. This story was quite entertaining to me even if the mystery elements hasn't got any reasonable foundations to it. It wasn’t really that necessary to the main plot and the message to convey. It also one, if not the only anime that I’ve seen that handled school bullying exemplary well. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 2, 2024 ForteGX Recommended This is a pretty cool take on the classic Orpheus story. It combines it well with the teenage run away/spirited away stories. I appreciate that Studio CLAP's works are short and well told. Without spoilers, I think the art direction, music, and scene selection are done very well. The story telling motifs aren't ground breaking, but a very good implementation on how a story should be told. I think it does a great job at tackling the problems that matter, and leaves the unimportant points open to interpretation. Personally, Touno and Hanashiro feel super relatable. They both really boil down how I felt as a ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 13, 2023 spicarie Recommended Grow Old and Share Together: The heart of the film lies in Kaoru's desire to reunite with his deceased sister, Karen. He stumbles upon a mysterious time-bending tunnel rumored to grant wishes in exchange for years of one's life. The film cleverly flips the script on the typical "wish for a better past" trope. Instead, Kaoru's wish is to simply spend more time with Karen, to grow old with her, and experience life together. This unconventional desire adds depth and emotional weight to his journey. Under the Surface of Time Travel: While the time-travel element plays a pivotal role, the film wisely avoids focusing on the mechanics of ... Read more Open Gift Report

Aug 12, 2023 Cursed07 Recommended Watching it felt like I was watching Makoto Shinkai movie but also not a Makoto Shinkai Movie Superb Animation, Sequences, Voice Acting, Plot, Concept, Hidden HInts in Backgrounds, etc. Compared to Makoto Shinkai's Your Name, it lacked punch/impact only. But I would say that there's an old Makoto Shinkai's movie kinda also based on similar concept it was definitely 98% related to that in pace and impact factor ( That wasn't a popular movie, was short but interesting I'll mention that name below as well) Makoto Old similar movie : The Voice of a Distant Star PS: I was rating it 8 at first, then rating went from 9 to ...

Oct 3, 2024 LilyRoseGretchen Not Recommended Only a few movies have made me want to cry in despair. Even if you don't expect anything you might still be disappointed. Or maybe not if you like mediocre stories. Or stories with a good plot but poorly developed and with boring characters who barely contribute more than their mere presence to the plot.
