Reviews for Marmalade Boy Movie
Back to AnimeThis movie definitely gave me a lot of closure. Marmalade Boy has entirely been about Miki's point of view, but this movie actually makes Yuu to be an actual person. I mean, for those who have seen or read the series, didn't you ever wonder how Yuu suddenly had feelings for Miki? It seemed all of a sudden. Too sudden. This movie makes a lot of sense of that thought.
Marmalade boy was a drama about about two sets of parents getting a divorce, and swaping partners. When their the son (yuu) and daughter (miki) of both couple meet each other, they fall in love, however the anime countinues on with rivaley, new discoveres and so for. Marmalade Boy the movie, take you back to the start of the anime, and show how yuu fell in love with miki, which was before miki meet yuu, which was not shown in the anime.
Marmalade Boy the movie really isn't what most people would think a movie would be like. It is quite short. So don't go into this movie thinking it's a full length movie, think more along the lines of it being a bonus episode. I really did like this a lot and it made me understand the character of Yuu a lot more. When watching the TV series I found myself frustrated at Yuu. I could not understand how he could love a girl when they had only just met, plus a lot of the time I would question what Yuu's true feelings for her were.This movie helped me cast away all my doubts about my Yuu and made me really fall in love with the idea of Yuu/Miki. The story is brilliant. It really makes you get how Yuu felt when his family said they were getting a divorce. The shots that were showed helped understand what it is about Miki that Yuu loves so much about her. It was also great seeing other characters and what they were like before the series begun.
I definitely do think Marmalade Boy the Movie is great for those to watch who have seen Marmalade Boy. It was very sweet and funny.
