There are so many topics that are involved in this film, I can't possibly unwrap them all here in one review, but I will cover the ones that stuck out to me the most.
They also make a great usage of a dream sequence to symbolize something that is happening in the plot. Which fits into the story! It is rooted in reality at times, and then for specific moments it gets far away from reality and almost feels like a fantasy picture with incredible visuals. This is really a film that you need to see for yourself, because as soon as I thought I had figured out what this film was going to be like, it suddenly changes into a musical. I never felt like any character was interchangeable, each was their own distinct person. Each character has a developed personality, and is really a character of their own. Otome's spirit makes her an endearing character you love keeping up with, while Senpai's determination makes him another character that you're rooting for all the way to the end. I found myself absolutely absorbed into the story that was being told in this film, and truly felt for each character that was brought into the film. It carries a level of awareness that really gets you when it wants to. Even more important is the fantastic comedy that you'll find in this film with the ridiculous situations that you find our characters in. Its unique style along is something to gawk at.
I truly believe this is the most beautifully anime film I have seen in awhile. The artistic style that is used in this movie that also so seamlessly helps the story move along is truly impressive. I rarely go out of my way to seek out foreign films before (or if) they get a United States release, but after seeing the trailer for this film, I knew that I had to see it one way or another. This night is different, as Senpai decides he is going to confess his love to her, but each attempt is hijacked by the seemingly endless adventure that Otome finds herself in, meeting all sorts of interesting individuals along the way. Unbeknownst to her, a man who we only know as Senpai (Gen Hoshino) is madly in love with her, and has strategized a method of "happening" to run into her. Otome (Kana Hanazawa), a woman who has a strong taste for alcohol, and seems entirely more optimistic than the world that surrounds her.
