Synopsis

On a hot summer day in Kyoto, a young man walks toward his apartment, dreaming of turning on the air conditioner and cooling down. But before he can turn his dream into reality, disaster naturally strikes in the form of Ozu, who spills soda all over the remote. With the air conditioner rendered completely unusable, the man and his friends are left to suffer in the terrible August heat.

Just when all hope seems lost, the group finds a true-to-life time machine in their storage room. Not knowing the dire consequences of doing so, they decide to travel back to the past and grab the remote before Ozu even has a chance to destroy it. What awaits them on the other side is a staggering adventure none of them are prepared for.

I had a really good time with this one.

I was more continuously invested than with Tatami Galaxy, though this series doesn't wrap up as expertly as that did. The time machine itself is quite the vehicle for telling the story, leaving me grasping for hints from previous episodes - I think this might work even better upon repeat watch. It's more the ride than the destination on this one, though it's also nice to see some closure on some of the central plots of the series as a whole. Much to its credit, this also improved on the amount of attention various side characters ...

I was probably harsher on this due to its relation to Tatami Galaxy, which set an impossibly high bar; if it was not related to that, I would probably have ranked it a bit higher, but I think I still would not recommend it as a must-watch. The narrative structure was much more straightforward than Tatami Galaxy, and one is kind of expected to be familiar with the characters of the aforementioned. That said, it was still a fun little romp with familiar characters and felt a little comfy in that regard - it was nice to see the main cast all doing stuff together ...

Funny

Operation nostalgia that does nothing of value, playing with the watcher's feelings about the 2010 masterpiece.

The problem with this sequel? Potential future? Whatever it is, is that it's lazy. Extremely lazy. It backloads the entire character development, background, and nuances to the 2010 main series while giving us a glimpse of a different path.
But let's go in order.

When dealing with this kind of anime, which is abundantly quoting and taking inspiration from the original, it's impossible to not consider parallels with the former series. The screenwriters impose it on us, anyway, since the series forces you to know all the characters beforehand. This ...
