QUOTE (Killer_Ossi @ Sep 19 2010, 05:14 PM)Im quite surprised to see him kissing Touko right after confessing to Mio, but since Im not beliving in love especially to only beeing able to love one person at a time I dont really care since it fitted. Just a surprise to see it.
I think the actual confession itself happened way in the past, which Touko was helping bring to light at the planetarium. Miu had failed to make the connection herself, and Konoha wasn't making it entirely obvious. If my timeline is right, it was about 2 years in the past.
QUOTE (senpai-kun @ Sep 21 2010, 02:34 PM) I almost cut the movie off after that ridiculous scene in the first 15 minutes of the movie. I thought I was going to be watching a serious movie and that really was a wtf moment. Though now that I've read these few almost glowing recommendations on the site I'm going to go ahead and just look past the book eating -- sounds like I would be missing out on a lot of entertainment value if I don't finish it.
The first 15 minutes makes a lot more sense if you watch the other two OVAs.
"Memoir" finishes using the same scene that the movie starts with.
"Hatsukoi" takes place somewhere in the middle of the movie, chronicling a typical day for Touko when Konoha is part of the literature club. It doesn't really change the nature of the story .. it just helps establish the mood, setting and characters a bit. Although a bit absurd, I find the book-eating aspect of Touko embodies a large portion of the romanticism in the story.
@Geizhals - judging by the exchange at the train station, and the comments that Konoha makes at the end of the movie about "if it's her, she will surely like it", I'm inclined to think that the person at the door was Touko as well. Also, if the first book was a written confession in a form of a story about Konoha and Miu, I'm led to believe that the second book, a book about Touko, can also be interpreted as a written confession as well.Â
