Cyborg She (2008)

Can I just say that I didn\''t see the ending coming?? Wow the story was unpredictable right from the beginning! I got a little bored here and there but the last part of the movie was really mind blowing. This movie is both sad and happy. You\''ll have to watch to see why!

The acting was really well done.

The music was really good for a movie.

Rewatch is ordinary just because this is one of those movies where if you know what happens theres no fun in watching again unless you really loved the characters.

Overall Cyborg She is entertaining and very interesting.

Story::

Yes its robo-human love. But its darn good. The story was really well done. There is a time travel aspect to the story which is written up and done very very well. The story leads you in one direction but the ending twists the story well, I didn't expect it and was happy.

Characters/Actors::

Really awesome acting by the actors. The characters however.. meh. The main male lead didn't do that fantastic of a job. BUT everyone else did everything so well, that I ended up loving one of the side characters(the teacher). Damn, the robot is legit!


Music:

Perfectly fitting.


Overall: 9/10

EXCELLENT TERMINATOR IMITATION

We know it you know it this is just a James Cameron Terminator imitation. Cyborg from the future travels back in time to protect boy with the added twist that she was created in the likes of a real human girl from the future. But, I found it a lot more entertaining than the Terminator movies b/c of its lightheartedness.

I am simply awed by the kind of SFX they managed to pull off on a supposedly low budget. This is one of those movies that put big Hollywood productions like The Hobbit to shame in terms of quality of visual effects.

I won't even dive deep into the top notch acting b/c IMO this movie and Ichi made Haruka Ayase a household name. The boy also did a fantastic job, so did the supporting characters.

Now, the story is the weakest part of the movie. It felt a little too tied up in the end. However, I'd take a movie that is too tied up in the end over one with an ambiguous ending any day. The former says we're making one movie and we're making the best movie that we can, while the latter just screams cheesy low-quality sequels if it does well at the box office.

In terms of re-watch value, I've already watched it twice this year and plan on seeing again in the future.

Just finished watching the science fiction/romance movie CYBORG SHE: Boku wa Kanojo was Cyborg (My Girlfriend is a Cyborg), and boy, was it entertaining! Sure, it had a lot of sprawling storylines with so-so conclusions as well as multiple conflicting time-travelling paradox issues, but it also featured Ayase Haruka as the titular Cyborg Girlfriend and HOLY CRAP, SHE WAS THE CUTEST, MOST GORGEOUS THING EVER!!!!

The movie also stars Keisuke Koide as the Cyborg Girl's love interest, and when we first meet up with the both of them, they're both shopping in a department store: He’s buying a birthday gift for himself, and she’s stealing clothes to wear (to replace her torn time-travel suit)… His eyes meet hers, and much to his surprise, when he leaves, she begins happily following him!

I cannot even begin to fully describe how cute she is in this movie, especially at the beginning. There’s this scene when they’ve just met, and she’s following him around town, smiling that infectious Ayase Haruka smile (Dammit, can anyone resist that?!), and once she has his attention, begins happily dancing and skipping along, MAN! SO CUTE!!!

This is a perfect helical cycle of time travel, or can say "Each timeline have infinite different parallel space and each space have infinite different timeline". Every time when past change, future become uncertain., this is cycle of past-present and future. Nothing is good than happy ending. How emotions build in a cyborg was amazing.
This movie have best combination of romance, slice of life, emotions, drama, fantasy, sci-fi. If you want to watch sci-fi movie, then I suggest simple rule, just keep your brain at calm, don't jump on conclusion, just enjoy the moment of movie.
The acting of female lead role is strong as compare to male lead role. As told earlier, story hold bind whole characters and also characters good response to story. Some supporting characters are not enough bright like Ai Risa in Jirou's girlfriend role, Kiritani Kenta as Jirou's schoolmate. If directer cast only one of two role, and story focus on his girlfriend or his friend, then I hope it was best. So one star remove only for lack of strong supporting cast.
