    Good Enough

    3D Kanojo: Real Girl has a story that it feels as if you have watched it somewhere before. It doesn't offer much of a surprise or a nice never seen before twist. It just follows the well known melodramatic love story. I did like the otaku theme, however, and how a lonely boy found friends and love. The couple, actually, had chemistry and they looked nice together. Though, after the five year time skip, all the characters looked the same and too childish to be grown ups. But that is I guess a minor misstep, concidaring that the movie was just so so. At least the CGI were nice.

    Just watch the anime version

    I decided to see this because I'm curious on what the outcome would be as live action movies from anime are barely even good anyway and this wasn't an exception. I wish I was exaggerating when I sad this movie was so awful. Really wanted to like this but the story and acting is just so bad. It tried so hard to be funny but it ended up being cringe. Just watch the anime version. You're better off forgetting that this movie existed.

    Wouldn't recommend this. Don't waste your time and watch a good Japanese movie instead with decent acting like Wood Job and One Cut Of the Dead. This movie isn't worth your time.

    It became one of my favourite Romance Comedy

    Overall it's really good one and it pull me to watch till the end without stopping so there goes 3am for me. (I'm usually busy so rarely watch movie in one go)

    Really hilarious at start and later ... how can I say, it's pain my heart. I put in one of the best romance film that I watched.

    It's live action so some scene are a little over but if you're manga or anime fun, you'll understand that.

    Anyway, I really love to watch this again.

    the pitfalls of humanity

    Real girl 2018 Director: Tsutomu Hanabusa Cast: Towa Araki, Yutaro Goto, Mari Hamada, Moka Kamishiraishi and Sayaka Kanada Plot: A high school student lives in his virtual world but outside his virtual world he cleans the school pool with a girl he likes who also likes him. Review: I really enjoyed this movie because it shows you that people don't realize that is going on around them when plugged into technology. The direction and screenplay are both really good. Both the casting and acting are really good also. All in all I would give this five out of a possible five stars.
