Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Ami-chan's First Love" (I will spare you the Japanese title here as reading out that one may take about as long as watching this film) is a Japanese anime short film from 1995, so over 20 years old, and this one runs for 16 minutes only and it is of course from the Sailor Moon universe, a pretty successful Japanese animated series and the focus here is on the character of Amy, the nerd with all the good grades at school, and what happens when a rival enters her life who may or may not be an actual demon following her. The antagonist, to be honest, is pretty ridiculous, and her first love references make little sense, but there are perspectives from which this film is interesting to take a look at and this refers to the comedic moments for sure that have their own hilarious approach and style as well as the ways in which love differs compared to us here in germany or Western Europe or the United States you could say too. Seeing a guy's name with good grades is enough to fall in love with hikm apparently and I am not sure to which extent they may have overexaggerated here, but I guess it plays a bigger role in Japan in terms of attraction than it does here. other than that, it is basically a slightly shorter Sailor Moon episodes. Fans of the character symbolizing Mercury will have an expecially fun time here, but everybody else who does not mind Sailor Moon can watch it too. it was pretty solid, yet never great. i give it a thumbs-up.

naia_zifu This adorable short film was shown in theaters with the SuperS movie. The plot was based on a manga story in which super-genius Ami suddenly finds there's someone who can match her test scores, and becomes obsessed with finding his identity. But the idea of having a rival also thrills her, as she's never met anyone as smart as she is, so she spends the movie alternately acting in love, or frighteningly competitive with her unseen rival. When an evil spirit attacks her in her bed, she's sure it must be her academic rival, and fights it off alone! So much for all the haters who say she's weak! The animation in this movie is pretty nice, with a lot of attention to detail (even down to the hint of airbrushed purple tint in Ami's glasses), and the story is fun, though some might argue it clashes with the continuity of the anime. (I dispute that, however, as Urawa from the anime only matched her scores because he cheated, showing both his inferior intellect and dishonesty, thus I think she would have better morals than to seriously date someone like that even if he had stuck around!) Taiki+Ami shippers like me can use this movie to really strengthen our case that they should be together, because 1) Ami says she wants to date the Einstein type, 2) it shows Ami associates love with academic competition, and 3) she goes starry-eyed over that guy in the magazine who resembles Taiki! This is a great movie all around, for many reasons. I'm sure even those who aren't Ami's fans will learn to love her after seeing it!

NewWolfe Well I don't know much about anything, but I sure liked this film. In short, it was creative, humorous, simple, and heartwarming. In other words, it was everything it set out to be.The story is set around a girl's first love, (as the title suggests) and I certainly should warn you: expect nothing challenging or provocative in terms of the subject matter here. I mean, it is a children's cartoon. It's really just a simple story, but it's told well, and it holds your attention well.In the end: it's short, it's funny, it's cute, it's simple, it's good.

kakeru845 It was a sweet, intro for the most intelegent Sailor Soldier, Sailor Mercury. It consisted with a new "in croud", Merciurios. He, at the beganing wrote a love letter to Ami, which would be starltling (of course) and, now, Ami thiks he is a chibi-Einstien, and he is attractive (He ended up looking like Umino (Melvin)). This was a halarios (expesialy Minako's "It's no skin off my neck" scene (HOT!)) Well, I really like the Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon Series, I personally think its the best anime ever!, But, this movie was nice, funny, but not as adventurios as Sailor Moon R- It was more like the "S" movie. I saw this @ Sailor Moon Univewrse, with real Player, and it was pretty good. (Over all)
