    The Boy From Ipanema depicts a love story between the main characters. They meet on a beach and overtime they slowly develop feelings for each other.

    The boy gradually overcomes his memories from his first love as the focus on the relationship deepens.

    This is a simple story without any confliction caused and purely concentrates on the main characters.

    Would like to make a note that the animation in this was done creatively and beautifully.

    The music was simple, easy-listening and fit perfectly into the movie to create an 'airy' yet beautiful feel.

    I gave a low rewatch value due to the reasoning that the story is simple, and therefore it will be boring to watch again.

    One word: HILARIOUS

    This is about a guy who leaves home to study music at a university. His ambition is to one day produce indie pop songs to the world. There's just a small problem.

    He takes a job part-time as a lead singer of a metal band. Although it's only a temporary job... or so he thought.

    It jumps a few years later and he's still in the band but now it's becomed a extremely popular underground metal band. He produces music for the band but clearly this isn't what he wants.

    The band rises up worldwide becoming the next number 1 heavy metal band and in the end, they have a duel against a former heavy metal artist, Jack.

    This is absolutely funny, couldn't

Little by little, they start making improvments in their lives.

    I personally enjoyed watching this movie, I've read the manga series and fell in love with it. I liked the whole concept of how the main characters think differently from the 'norm' and how they are strange with thier obession with death. Maybe that's just me.

    This isn't really a horror movie or anything. You're able to see how two high schoolers who never spoken before discover they share the same interest. Death.

    Story 10- The main characters unravels the mystery of a murder case in thier neighbourhood not to solve the case and catch the murderer, but to see the corpse themselves.

    Acting 10- I thought the acting was brillient as I felt I could connect with the obession the characters have.

    Music 9- The
