The light novel is being adapted into an anime movie:

It does not look very good so far.

The romance part of it fell pretty flat, there's like no emotion, they never hold hands (though it's teased at the end of ch13, but that's like basic romcom progress), kiss, hug, they sleep together(?) but it's not shown how, the only emotional parts are her crying and her dying
It's a good idea to have to isolated people find solace with each other, there's potential, but like no delivery
In the movie I liked when he stares at her as she goes over the plan, to then cut to her dead, Kuleshov effect, went to show how troubling it is for him to spend so much time with her to then have to witness her death every time, as he's used to death, but not seeing her die
It's similar to Ajin, mysterious power explained throughout story, with pretty much no romance but good tension
Him talking about being bored of life, then rejecting sex, then talks about how he forgot how nice it is to have fun, as he's eating the plums? Seems like he's just an idiot, he could've reasoned that he held ideals, or wouldn't take advantage given he has more freewill, but instead he puts himself into misery then complains about it, he lacks basic awareness
The only emotional part for me was when she first cried, I didn't care too much for her, it's a bit too typical, with her having a sad backstory, her dad sacrifices himself, to then one of allies being a dad and dying (and looked to be the only one too?), she hid the fact that one of them has to die to stop the looping, which, eh, felt like contrived conflict, for them to fight for some tension, I feel her doing a selfless sacrifice*1 for him out of purely understanding what he's gone through would've been better, a "Your turn" thing, as she's already been freed, potentially also has ptsd from seeing her allies die, and I guess, thinking like that it's kind of selfish/heartless for her to even fight him, I guess another point into lacking awareness (Him and her huh)
Could've also been a bit tragic in him realising that even though he's gone through many battles there are still limits, he's still human (same as her*3), he can't save everyone, not when they choose to not be saved
Her last moments were pretty bland, "I hate red skies", I understand she's used to death, but that was knowing she would come back, her treating it like no other death made it feel shallow, there's no reveal*2, sure he says I love you, but it feels so thrown in there
Following the original ending I feel her asking him to turn off his camera or something for her to then silently cry would've been a good way to end it*3, or going selfless, she'd cut off her mic and communicate to him with hand signals, telling him to stop, when he opens her suit later he'd see dried tear lines*3 (Could also do her trying to hide her face, to not show him her crying, this would be a mix of things, trying to not hurt his empathy, embarrassed, not wanting his last memory of her be sad, fear of real death, trying to be like her dad, etc)
*1Mass Effect 1, Saren, "Goodbye, Shepard. Thank you."
*2You know, the joker, "In their final moments they show you who they really are"
*3Callback to when she cried, ch12, how despite everything, still human, another great idea in this story, showcasing humanity treading through suffering resulting in uncontrollable emotions. Really though, she cries like twice (I guess "once"), and that's the emotional extent of the story, it feels odd for her to (only) cry at an (the first) extreme moment, then not the next, maybe there could've been more tissues on the floor in the morning to show she cried as he slept, I don't know, something
The headache thing was alright, if it didn't appear at random then it would've felt less contrived, like maybe when he first saw her, or when he looped when they finally killed the backup the first time, needed more clues or something
I understand the "3 days for moldy coffee", "how do you know it tastes bad", "don't let anyone in", he's released after 3 days, and the coffee is moldy, that's cool and all, but like... so what? To show her great coffee and her red suit, and his horrible coffee and blue suit? They're opposites or something? No idea, but he drank moldy coffee (Maybe he really is an idiot)
It's good as a premise, and has good ideas, kind of it
Good art though, overall >5/10, <10/10
