I think there's a 50% chance we went to the same theater, because I also went to see The Colors Within yesterday. I agree, great film. It's interesting to me how Japanese entertainment tends to do a better job at telling a story where Christianity plays a role without being utterly obnoxious about it. Or maybe I'm just less suspicious about a Japanese creator's intentions when it comes to this. Anyway, I did notice a slight plot hole, maybe?

Early in the film, Totsuko suggested she would get in trouble with the school if they found out she was fraternising with a boy, but at the end Rui participated in the performance at the school festival without any problems.

But well, it's not that big of an issue.

I already went to see Chainsaw Man a couple of weeks ago, which was great fun. I did like the first season quite a lot, but I enjoyed this different approach as well. Still a weird experience to go to the mainstream cinema and see an anime film in a packed house, though. That would have been unthinkable a few years ago.

Haha, yeah, quite likely.

Hm, maybe, but they were quite lenient with other things in the ends so...

Hmm, I don't know. It wasnt in any cinemas near me, so it depends on where you are I guess. Bigger cities generally have a wider variety of audiences.
