                It can be better

                You must watch the 3 episodes before the movie to understand what's happened and why . The first half was good but the problem is that they tried to show alot of things related to quantum physics, and the last quarter was too complicated and not very stable. Nice movie but not great one.

                Way ahead of the time! Which is now!!

                One of the best sci fi anime made with the heart plot and twists. The last scene will change everything you thought you know. I would definitely recommend to watch it. Perhaps two three times is must to understand it fully and completely. Recommended 100%

                Title explained

                Since the movie is all about complex programming and its manipulation, its title alludes to the "Hello World" program which is often used to represent the basic syntax of a programming language.

                Sci-Fi Fantasy

                First half was really nice, but second half could have been better. Anyways, I loved it. Quite underappreciated to be honest.

                Should have been awesome

                Nice science fiction story with a cute romance and an amazing twist leading to a somewhat tragic conclusion. 10/10.

                Unfortunately it was less then an hour of running time by then, and they wanted to charge full admission, so they added more movie. Everything that comes after that is filler.
