That's what preventing it from being the perfection I hope it to be. Though what I do think they can probably thicken Ren and Andou's friendship to make it a deeper impact on the viewers. I also love the character developments, for all three main leads, Ninako, Ren and Andou, it is very well written. At first I do really feel doom for Ren and Ninako, it gives me an ache in the chest to see how compatible they are for each other, all the little similar interests they shared, the chemistry between them. Lovable characters, obstacles that preventing them from being together. I would say this is great, what I expected from a love story, it was delivered. Strobe Edge is great among it's similar genre competitors, even though I won't say it is the best, it does leave with me a good feeling and scenes that I know I can never forget. Rewatch Value 9.0 Well, after all the expectations and disappointments I had from last year's high school love story/ manga-made-into-live-action, I finally found something. Would I recommend it? Only to shoujo fans and those who like a light and fluffy story. I knew what to expect and that is what I got. I would also like to praise the production because it seems they did put more effort into editing. I cannot stand the cliched sugar pop songs that seem like they are coming from a game machine or sth. Music is also perfect consisting usually of instrumental piano tracks which fit the romantic school setting perfectly. The acting consists of typical Japanese cute expressions and outbursts which you should have got used to if you have watched enough Japanese films. They are like the manga characters come to life. It is not a masterpiece nor something that I would rewatch from the beginning to end because there is no depth - I mean, a cute girls falls for a guy, he is already in a relationship that seems more like a friendship and it has become a routine, he falls for her too, there are also some supportive characters and that's it. That may or may not be boring if you have already read the manga. The story is a typical shoujo plot and the film follows the manga closely. Bear in mind that if you are not a shoujo fan, you will not like this and in order to like it you have to take it for what it is - a light and fluffy romantic teenage film which revolves around a world in which friendship and what your crush does are the most important things. I am personally not satisfied with most manga adaptations out there (they do not pick or transform actors well, they are boring etc.), however, this adaptation is great. Rewatch Value 6.0 Strobe Edge may be the best shoujo adaptation to this date.
