    Story: At first this sounds like a very sad story, like 1 Litre of Tears. I put off watching it because of that impression. The movie is generally more upbeat then the synopsis lets on. You get to see inside a science fiction writers mind and truly understand just what they’re thinking. Some of the stories that he had come up with were so ridiculous that you have to laugh. You’ve either got to very imaginative or clinically insane to come up with the ideas that he did. But it wasn’t just about the funny short stories. The relationship between Sakutaro and Setsuko is cute and it is really enjoyable to watch this movie.

    I didn't really like this movie. I found the story cute but I couldn't get through the first 40 minutes as it bored me pretty badly..

    Tthere is something in the film the stories in particular- the film does not delve into them, but the titles are funny and poignant. It is very "watchable". Charming, however bleak tale about love and grief.<br />I do like the cast, too.
