3D Kanojo was a cringey movie at first but as you progress along the story, it gets deeper and more meaningful. I got past the first impression stage and the rest of the storyline amazed me. I’m glad it happened this way. Otherwise, it’ll just be a piece of cringe-worthy crap film.

It’s about a nerd guy Tsutsui who lives in his fantasies and doesn’t interact with the world because of how risky the “3D” world is. (3D stands for real life while 2D stands for anime). That’s easily understandable, we all know how shitty life can be and we always look to entertainment to give ourselves some space to unwind without worrying about real life problems. That’s normal. But this one gets overboard, he talks to himself and he isolates himself. He only has this one friend who also lives in 2D fantasy world like him (I don’t want to spoil it but there’s an interesting surprise/plot twist with this friend!!) Until one day, this one aggressive girl asks Tsutsui out and dates him and therefore forces to live in 3D world. He goes through a lot of emotional struggles to get by and survive to the point where he realizes that it’s a lot more worthwhile, meaningful, satisfying and fulfilling to live in real life than 2D despite the challenges and the pain. It’s a great movie, overall. Helps us get back to be brave enough to face reality and take risks whatever life may bring.

What led me to see this was Sano Hayato. I knew him because of Todome no Kiss (which reminds me, I haven’t written a review of that!!) His acting was great but I’m afraid he’ll get overtaken by other young aspiring actors, I mean, you already have the young elites like Mackenyu, Yamazaki Kento and Nakagawa Taishi. I just hope he makes it as far as them somehow too.

Talk about Ayado, I think she’s a lot more relatable than Tsutsui!

As for the cast, I’m not quite familiar with most of them but they did great nonetheless. Kudos to the whole 3D Kanojo team!
