Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and mixed reviews, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among fans of giant monsters and bigger battles and anyone curious about anime, this one's for you. The scale is huge: humanity is very much the underdog. If you loved Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender or Memories, start here. It's anime, with all the big emotions and big action that comes with it.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 56 min.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Ayato and Haruka are middle-school sweethearts whose lives take a dire turn when the mysterious Mu invade Tokyo in the year 2012. Protecting humanity from the Mu may be Ayato's destiny, but what he really wants is to regain the relationship he once had with Haruka... a love that will have to transcend space, time, and reality itself.
