First, if you are expecting a happy ending, then this movie is not for you.

This movie is on a different level. We are so much used to movies or dramas where the MC suffers from memory lost or amnesia, but this one is the other way around. The people around Azusa forgets about her in a couple or hours or just the next day. But Takashi was different, he was able to remember her, until...
(Well I will just let you watch to find out what really happened)

Like I said, it was very different, I don't know if I have encountered or watched a live action drama or movie like this yet. If I may compare it for similar situations, I can say it's from Boku Dake ga Inai Machi. But in Boku Dake, people only forgot about him as a result or consequences for his attempt to change his past. But here, people just forgets her after a day of meeting her, even her family.
I think it is really hard to be in that situation. It is a different story if you're the one who forgets, but how about if you are the one being forgotten? Even your own parents? And even if you try to live on your own and be independent and find a job, how? People might just even forget hiring you.

I still have a lot of questions in my mind right now, asking myself how will I able to surpass that? The last scene gave me a lot of emotions, I can't explain which of this emotions I should really feel. I was on tears, not much, but my heart is crying, for Takashi & Azusa. Like why? They were so sweet in the videos Takashi watched in his laptop. I want to say a lot of that scene, but it would have been spoiler.

The actors did well in their portrayal of the characters, abd the plot is somewhat different, or at least the situation for the lead characters to me, but the flow of the story was just simple and light. It is watchable, at least good enough if you're not the type to always go for happy-ending.

It sounds like that some sort of fantasy element is involved but it is absolutely not. The movie does not give an explanation at all, other than to compare it to people forgetting their classmates a long time ago. This major point is not reached until one third of the movie. Nothing special happens until we reach two thirds of the movie. I like the climax since it makes full use of the being-forgotten characteristic. I don’t like movies that have no resolution at the end though. The whole thing seems contrived to serve a tear jerking moment, so I’m not impressed. A subplot involving the girl’s father is also incomplete.

Excellent film and it is incredibly good. Love the cast and the directing.

I hate to say this, but I feel like I'm wasting my time watching this movie. I like the idea though, but I really dislike how it goes. I know that this movie was made based on the novel, but still I disappointed. Well, maybe it's just that my taste is not some kind of this film.
First, they don't explain WHY Azusa experience that condition. Second, the ending is just like whyyyy???? T^T
The lead male and female act great and the best thing about this movie is Murakami Nijiro's acting at the end of the movie.

I would watch this movie again and again for the performance of the two main actors, who really delivered and made me cry more than I thought I would.
The story is meant to give us more questions (what would you do in Azuza's situation? How would it feel being forgotten?) than answers. Even if the plot of the "person being forgotten" has been used many times, I found it different here because the movie goes around the character's feelings rather than anything else. This is also what might keep you watching the movie more than once and thinking about it for days after it ends.

Yeah what will happen next?

Pick a random movie available on YT just to fill the time. Unfortunately it's a little bit dissapointing.

Really hope they continue a little bit more before closing the curtain. Maybe like just let Azusa Oribe & Takashi Hayama come face to face. That's gonna push the score a little bit better in my book.

What I like about this movie is unfortunately only one: Interesting concept of story. But... This also end with bad execution. Or maybe just not my taste.

Overall this only end up as another movie on my list. And...

Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

What I don't like:
- The open ending. I really don't like the ending. I really hope they either end up Takashi Hayama just totally forget about Azusa Oribe, or like i said in the beginning, they meet face to face in the final scene.
- They never really explained to us about why everyone keep forgetting about Azusa Oribe
