This movie broke me.
I don't know where to start this.
I love non-linear stories; the jumps in time that the plot does are what make this movie very engaging for me. Another thing I liked was the friendship between Makoto and Kida. Their friendship felt very realistic, and I will praise Kida's character a lot. He was a real friend, he stood by Makoto's side no matter what (not even when Makoto was talking about proposing to Yocchi, the woman Kida was in love with), and not even after Makoto disappeared from his life, he gave up on him; Kida entered a shady buisseness, with no possibility of getting out, just to be able to find his friend. His character was very selfless, many of the things he did were to help Makoto, and even his boss (I forgot his name) quickly caught that he barely did things for himself.
That scene of Kida watching the explosion from the window, with a heartbroken expression, destroyed me completely. I ugly cried the first time I watched this. Very recommended.
