Belle

The animation was amazing, and the sound track is a movie masterpiece. The story of 'Belle' was a touching one, covering topics of depression, abuse and grief that was moving and gave me a deep care for the characters on the screen. 'U' reminded me of the 'Oasis' (Ready player one), an online empire where people can hide behind usernames. Social trends, overnight fame and moderators are noticeable elements. An interesting element in this for me was the 'Beauty and the Beast' theme and the topic of romance, for me they didn't fit in this story line. I also found some of the later acts a little boring in my rewatches. Small Icks aside this movie is moving, unique and is something I would recommend to anyone who enjoys phycology, and teenage drama's.

Incredible movie. Skillfully intertwined explorations of grief, loneliness, trauma, powerlessness, support networks, compassion, and recovery, in a beautifully animated package. If you think the focus was supposed to be on romance then you missed the entire point of the movie.

This movie is amazing and the music is great!

Great movie. I semi knew what I was going into when watching this movie and I found that its nice and easy to follow. It doesn't feel like I've spent 2hrs on my day watching this and there hasn't been a boring moment when I just want to skip a little bit. I saw someone complain that there was to many side stories that don't get resolved but I found that there where only one or two different side stories where you can tell what happens in it without needing to explain it to you. The other review made the movie seem like there where to many uncompleted things in it and that it leave you guessing, I found that the movie is pretty straight forward and its kind of what you'd expect of a beauty and the beast movie.

Animação impecável, trilha sonora, temas e músicas absurdas e extremamente emocionantes, arte e visuais criativos, cores absolutamente bem feitos. Tecnicamente um dos melhores ou o melhor filme do Mamoro Hosoda. O filme tenta mostrar 2 histórias, do mundo real e do mundo virtual conectando elas de certa forma e fazendo uma analogia com a Bela e a fera. A história do mundo virtual é muito emocionante e bem feita, já o mundo real confesso é muito boa mas poderia ser melhor. Todo desenvolvimento da protagonista sendo feito por colegas, pessoas que a princípio ela quase não fala enquanto que o pai dela só tem algum desenvolvimento no final por pouquíssimo tempo. Na minha visão, se a narrativa tivesse desenvolvido a relação com dela com o pai desde o início, seja brigando até reconciliar-se em conjunto com tudo que acontece, seria praticamente perfeito. Confesso que tbm gostaria que tivesse mais desenvolvimento dos outros personagens como as amigas da mãe dela e de seus colegas, acaba que eles se tornam pessoas muito próxima à ela muito rápido, quase não tem desenvolvimento para isso pq justamente grande parte do filme é voltada para o mundo virtual, se o único laço familiar dela tbm tivesse desenvolvimento seria algo como Wolf Children, poderia ter me feito chorar de emoção... Eu entendo a proposta mas seria perfeito se esses pontos acima fossem feitos, mas o filme continua sendo muito bom, e um dos melhores do Mamoro Hosda, recomendo bastante, muito bom.

My first impression of this film was, this film is very amazing. I really like the story and plot!

aku ga bisa berkata kata, ini bagus, aku suka banget

eu amei gente. meio previsível, mas amei

Visualnya unik dan enak dipandang mata, animasinya fluid meskipun banyak detil. Lagunya juga sangat indah untuk didengar, vokal dan instrumennya menyentuh hati. Secara cerita, storytellingnya sangat menarik dan membuat tiap adegan jauh lebih dramatis. Hanya saja, ada banyak kekurangan di alurnya yang mana bisa menjadi kesempatan para penggemar untuk membuat teori mengenai kekurangan tersebut. Tindakan yang dilakukan beberapa karakternya juga kurang realistis, seperti Suzu yang rela pergi jauh hanya untuk menyelamatkan seseorang yang baru dia kenal melalui dunia maya dan masih banyak hal lainnya. Overall, konsepnya benar-benar menarik! Saya merekomendasikan film ini untuk mereka yang tertarik untuk terjun ke dunia anime.

Great film. Loved the twist to the traditional storytelling of this tail and the overlay with modern online culture. Not perfect but neither is real life.
