(Not sure if I can write anything more than that without spoiling.) It's about friendship and emotional struggle and love with a little bit of fantasy, yes, but it is also about something much darker and much scarier. The story isn't sugarcoated for something it is not in the manga and it is not that way in the movie either. That being said, I suppose it does SLIGHTLY alter how one many understand Naho as a character, but I think this is inconsequential.įirst, the story.This is not the typical shoujo romance that you see hitting theatres. The way it was altered in no way shape or form changes the understanding of the story at all because they follow this change through in the only other instance that it is relevant. Only the next day am I remembering that the opening seen was different than that of the manga, which was definitely done for purely aesthetic purposes. Let me tell you that my expectations were beyond met and I couldn't be more happy. This movie has been marketed very strongly for the past few months in Tokyo which made me only more excited - not to mention the music videos that Warner dropped the week the movie hit theatres. Not only had I read the manga all the way through in English, but I also have the first volume in Japanese as well as the light novel in Japanese. Rewatch Value 9.5 Orange was one of those movies I went into with huge expectations after months and months of anticipation.
