IMDb 6.7

Skip it tonight. 'Hello World' is a visually pretty but narratively muddled anime romance that can't quite justify its time-travel premise, and a 6.7 IMDb score suggests it doesn't land emotionally the way it's trying to. Save your evening for something with more cohesive storytelling.

Plot

A shy high schooler in Kyoto meets a man claiming to be his future self, who tells him he’s hacked into the past to save their first love.

Director: Tomohiko Ito
